All told, Manager CronlnS gang
played IL contests. Seven Of
these were won, five were lost.
This figures out to a percent
age Of .583-not the best in the
world, but easily better than
shown by the other Eastern clubs
Of the circuit, who experienced
probably their worst Western trip
in years.
st. Louis Trouble
In turning in this record, the
Griffs won three series out of
four. They took two out of three
games from the Cleveland Indians,
as a starter. They followed this
with two out Of three against the
Detroit Tigers.
They ran into trouble in st.
Louis where two of three contests
were lost, but they made amends
for these setbacks by trouncing
the Chicago White Sox two out
Of three.
The pitching of the team was
excellent, taking each mans work
into full consideration. The sur
prise Of the trip was Gen. Alvin
Crowder.
Manager Cronin gave him a
chance to start in the Detroit
series and the veteran came
through by winning a 5-to-3
game. Later, Crowder was given
another chance, and in this in
stance he pitched nine innings to
defeat the Chicago White Sox,
9 to Z.
Browns Trouble Stewart
Then there were the cases Of
Lefty" Walter Stewart, Monte
Weaver ard Earl Whitehill.
Stewart hurled a beautiful game
against the Cleveland Indians to
defeat that team, 3 to l, but he
ran into unfortunate trouble by
losing two games in as many
days to the st. Louis Browns.
Weaver defeated the Cleveland
Indians, 3 to 2, was knocked out
of the box by the Browns his
next time out, while his third ap-
pearance resulted in a 9-to-6
triumph over the White SoX &C.
spite the fact that Jack Russell
had to relieve him in the ninth
inning.
Earl Whitehill's best effort was
against the Browns in the finale
of the series with that team. Earl
pitched nine innings in this effort,

GOLFER.
IS DERR|NGER

The distinction Of harboring on
their roster one Of the best golfers
among the ball players in the ma
jor leagues is generally conceded
to the Reds. He is Paul Derr1n-
ger, and for a time the Reds had
two skilled exponents Of the royal
and ancient game until they
traded Sylvester johnson to the
Phillies. Both National League
pitchers shoot consistently in the
low seventies whenever they get
a chance to step out on the links.
Sammy Byrd, the Yankee utility
outfielder, is generally considered
to be the foremost golfer among
players in the American circuit.

The Washington times., 1934-05-29

which easily was his best of the
season. The Griffs won, 9 to 8.
Whitehill's other appearances
were against the Indians and
Tigers. He pitched well in spots,
but was finally withdrawn after
the teams had worn him down.
Up In Hitting
AS a hitting team, the Griffs
upheld their own in every way.
Cecil Travis was the big sensa-
ton by not only leading the team
with an average well over 400, but
by becoming the league leader at
one particular momenC-that mo-
ment while the Griffs were in st.
Louis. He dropped the leadership
but continued to show the way
among his teammates.
Heine ManuSh, Buddy Myer, Joe
Kuhel and Manager Cronin also
hit well. Cronin came out of his
long slump by hitting in great
form in the pinches, while Ma.
nush, Myer and Kuhel got the
home-run bug by whacking out
circuit cloutS in almost every
game.
On the whole, the Griffs gained
ground in the race. They began
the trip five games behind the
league-leading Yankees, while they
finished by reducing this margin
to three games. In New York to-
morrow and Thursday Manager
Cronin'S men hope to reduce this
margin even more by winning at
least two Of the three games
scheduled.
Lyons Good In Pinch
And on the strength of what
the Yankees have done of late,
they might at that.
The Griffs lost yesterdays game
to the White Sox because they
couldn't hit Ted Lyons in the
pinches. Seven men were left on
the bases in the last three innings.
Had a base hit been there instead,
the game would have been
wrapped up in easy fashion.
The Sox hit four Griff pitchers
hard. Tommy Thomas started.
Jack Russell and Alec McColl were
next. Ray Prim finished the
string. Rallies in the first, third,
fourth, fifth and ninth won for
the SoX.

NEW YORK, May 29.-He
beat Jimmy McLarnin with a
smile and he win gladly try to
do it again any time his man
ayers say. Z. That's Barney
Ross, Of Chicago, lightweight
sand welterweight champion Of
the world, and still growing.
r The new welterweight king sat
on the side Of his rubbing table
In his dressing room at the
Madison Square Garden Bowl
In Long Island City, and looked
out with eyes that were un-
afraid, and unmarked, for more
worlds to conquer.
But he'd better be careful. If
he keeps sweeping through
classes the way he has swept
through the last two, thereu be
no fighters left for him to
s1neet-no more worlds to con-
.quer.
He was o great fighter under
that big silver moon that hung
over the Garden Bowl last eve
ming, was Barney RosS-greater
than any that had ever gone be-
fore. Or so the records will in
sist. For never in the long his
tory Of the ring had q light
weight titleholder succeeded in
going out of his class to topple
the welter king in the resin Of
defeat.
And little Barney, born on
the East Side of New York and
raised on the west side Of Chi
cago, did it with a smile. True,
there were rounds when that
emile was little more than a
crimson smear against the
white OF his mouthpiece, but it
WRs there. From beginning to
end and from bell to bell, and
as I scored the fight, he won
all the way.
"Gee," he said, kid like in his
dressing room, 81 hated to miss
the opening Of the Worlds
Fair today"
''YOu should worry, kid"
chOrtIed the elated Art Winch,
as he waltSed around his new
double champion, ''yOu put on
your own worlds fair out there
before $1,000 people tonight"
And there was none about
who would or could deny that
Mr.. Winch had spoken truth
and nothing but. Through is
as fast and savage rounds
Ross had outbOxed,' outfought,
and. outlaSted one Of the great
little ring men Of our time
James Archibald McLarnin.
Ring Rust Tells
Oh, don't think for a minute
that McLarnin was disgraced.
That he couldn't still fight and
didn't. That age and the ring
business beat him. They didn't.
All that beat him was Barney
Ross, and you can put that in
capitals If YOU wish. Mr.. Printer.
That was the story of this
fight beyond shadow Of doubt,

sounder Judgment Of another
Judge and Referee Eddie Forbes
saved the ring q resounding
scandal and possibly diotouS
scenes. Ross won all the way
fairly, squarely, ,decisively.
That was the story Of this
fight beyond shadow Of doubt,
This bureau was wrong, too,
when it pronounced the de-
cided opinion that Ross would
win until McLarnin hit him.
The chunky little 1riShman hit
him not once but three or four
times and squRrely On the chin
with his dead mans right, only
to find Ross come fighting OFF
it like q tiger.
A left hook coming some
where near the end Of the
bout did dust Ross trunks with
resin. This would have been
the first knockdown of his Ca
reer if it had been a knock
down, but Barney claims he
slipped and I'm inclined to
think he did. Not that the
punch wasn't decisive enough
to drop any ordinary light
weight, but Ross is no ordinary
lightweight, or welterweight
either.
Both Fighters Slip
He took harder smacks than
that without tumbling, and it
is only fair to give him the
benefit Of the doubt-snd also
McLarnin-and say that both
fighters slipped and were down
in this round. for hardly was
Ross up than it was Jim who
had his foot in the air.
81 don't think would have
got up 80 quickly If he had hit
me-" ST..
Ross said this in that pleas
ant, modest way Of his, and
there was no doubling that he
at least believed he had half
slipped with that sharp left
hook. -.
Night Starts Wrong
AS for McLarnin, the night
started wrong for him and fin
ished the same way. Even old
Pop Foster, who is usually so
calm and cool, must have had q
brain storm before coming out
to the stadium (may be Pop
could hear the banshees wall
ing).
Anyhow, Jim's helpers came
away from their hotel without
his famous green bRthrobe, his
shoes, his notShpiece and other
fighting eqnipf They had
to send all, the Wa back for 1t
and even on the second trip
they still left his slippers, so that
Jim was walking about his
dressing room in his bare feet.
This was notscalculated to i'm
prove .,McIarIiin's mental con-
dition, and tos make matters
worse, Pop forgot again and sent
him out for the fourteenth
round-a critical one-without
his mouthpieee.

extra load of current occasioned
by the demand for many extra
lights. However, they sent their
men up with equipment Friday
and by that evening the lights
were turned on. The fuller enjoy
ment of this came Saturday night
when the large influx of farmers
and out-of-town people came here
to deal. AS Christmas approach
es it is expected that residents
will catch the spirit and not only
decorate their home but have
lighted trees in their homes or
on their lawns. Early Christ

singers will probably gather
about the Community Christmas

Smyrna folks are planning for a
merry Christmas, when home ties
and family reunions will mark the
day, and the little ones will look
expectantly for Santa Claus.
