NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Buddy
Myer will be lost to the Griffs for
four days at least, according to
Joe Cronin's statement today. The
sinking warriors of Griffith Sta
dunn are just that much worse
off than they were before the
news became known.
Not only is Buddy's defensive
skill needed, but his bat is essen
tial to the success of the club. The
spike wound in Myers foot is still
open.
Stone will be out for several
days, and that isn't going to ease
matters. Stone was spiked on the
knee. While the regulars drop off
as soldiers fall before a shrapnel
rain, the club is exploring new
depths. Losing yesterday the boys
dropped another half game to the
st. Louis Browns. They will be
challenging the Athletics and
White Sox if they don't watch out.
Defense Terrible
Nothing in the world stopped
the Griffs yesterday except ter.
rible defense. The fielding was
bad when it should have been good
and Monte Weaver, after pitching
a fine game against Schoolboy
Rowe, turned right around and
was just another pitcher-not
much of pitcher either.
The Yankees scored two truly
earned runs while the GriffS were
making two, but the Yankees got
eight runs altogether while the
Griffs stood at their two earned
tallies.
The Yanks could have been
stopped in the first frame with de.
cent ball playing. frankie Gro.
Setti, however, opened fire with a
single and then followed bases on
balls to Saltzgaver and Ruth.
Luke Sewell picked this spot to
rid his system of two passed balls.
Gehrig then spanked one down to
SuSko on first base.
SuskO Misses One
The ball was a cinch and should
have been tucked away, but SuSko
permitted the ball to get past him
into right field. It was scored q
hit and two runs scored. Crosetti
had counted on a passed ball and
the total runs for the inning were
three.
In the third frame Ruth got q
fluke handle hit, a double to LETT
field and scored on Gehrig's sin
gle. This was the first earned run
for the enemy.
Chapman pounced a perfect
double play down to Bluege, who
forthwith hurled it into right field
and the joy was unrestrained
That error opened the way to two
runs on top of the earned counter
The Yank run in the seventh was
made possible by Kerr's error.
While the Griffs were perpetrat'
ing these little bungleS, the Yam
KEGS went right along in their
business-like way. Senior Vernon
Miguel Pedro Santiago Ell Florio
Gongales Guerra Gomez pitched
his twenty-third victory Of the
year and one of his few victories
over the GriffS. He was greatest
in the closing frames. After the
fifth only two Griffs hit the lines
and then two double plays swept
them off at once.

The Central Stadium was the

from these scores, they found an
other task.
It was announcing. The day be-

appears that Sebastian, OF f1tts-
burgh, is probably the speedlest
back Of the group, and II he gets
beyond the line Of scrimmage
it's almost a certain score.
Greatest of the Age
"Turning back to the Bears
lineup, we find Link Lyman
probably one of the greatest
professional football players Of
the age. He has been in the pro
Rame for IL years and still ranks
with the best. On the other
side Of the line, at the tackle
position, is MastOdOn MuscO,
who might be termed the baby
of the squad from the standpoint
of experience. However, he car
ries 27O pounds, and they say
he utiliGes every ounce in the
game Of football.
cookie Miller, center, the ex-
Purdue star, is a former ALI
American man and one OF the
best in the country in his posi-
ton.
"At the end position the
Bears probably have the finest
end material in the country TO-
day. Hewitt ranks with the great
ends Of all times. This quartet
of ends, Hewitt, JOhnsOs, Karr.
and Franklin, are unquestiOn-
ably the best quartet Of ends
playing in professional football
today.
Speed and Power
"The Bears back field has
speed and power to burn, as well
as excellent kicking and passing
abilities. The outstanding back
of course is BrOnkO NagurSki
formerly Of the University Of
Minnesota and one Of the most
versatile football players of the
modern age. Can play any posi-
ton either in the line or back
field. During his time at the Uni
versity of Minnesota he played
both tackle and end, and 1t is
said that he could have been an
All-American in any of the afOre-
mentioned positions.
"And don't forget Red Grange
is still running. He plays left
half back for the Bears and
during the past few years has
developed into a fine paSser as
well as a runner"

that we must do first things first;

rectly touching on the controversial

urged its Subordination at this time.
He said he was inclined to agree
with those who think the country

"Other people" he added. "who

Fifth and sixth grade teachers
of the rural schools of Imperial
Valley are doing a splendid piece
of writing according to the county
superintendent of schools office.
To make ior simpiification, par
ticularly in schools where several
grades are in one room, the alter
nation plan has been adopted for
social studies in the rural elemen-
tary schools. The plan provides
that one year the fifth and sixth
grades will take as unit the fifth
grade work in social studies, and
the following year, the sixth grade
work
This year the two grades are
studying the sixth grade work and
as no text book exists, the teach
ers themselves initiated a plan of
writing comparatively this sixth
grade social study work for the
children
Each teacher contributes a part
OF this text book, and the various
dI llClCo diC tAClldllSCd etiiiOiib viz
schools of the county.
The material is in the form o.
stories, written fer the children in
language suitable to their ages. 1t
is at present in manuscript form
and will be used in that form this
year.
Will Be Revised
At the end Of the year it will be
gone over, necessary changes made,
parts added or subtracted according
to the results obtained from this
year s use in the school.
Next year, while the fifth grade
subject work is being taught, the
manuscript will be edited by Miss
Helen B. Thomas, county supervis-
or for rural schools, and enough
copies will be made for every school

repercussions. and greatly affect
international understanding.
In his travels through Europe

interested in the United States,
picturing il as an enormous land
of great forests and natural Won
ders. To him. he said, they have
overlooked this countrys greatest
wonders, one of which he considers
