holds to its decision.
The Devil Passes" as is indi-
Gated by the title, concerns the
Prince of Darkness who assumes the
pleasing shape of a young curate
passing through an English parish
and pausing to expose the virtues
rather than to stimulate the sins of
certain muddled souls with whom he
comes in contact.

Civic theater's finest players has
been selected.

GR|FFMEN SEEK
CLEAN SWEEP
OVER BROWNS
BY GARRETT WATERS

Il
A little bit down, but not out by
any means, following their dis
appointing showing against the
Detroit Tigers recently, the Griff-
men had it mapped in their minds
to make grand comeback
against the st. Louis Browns this
week, starting with Sundays game
which had Lefty Walter Stewart
as the Griff hurler.
Having made that comeback as
a result of victories not only Sun
day, but Monday and yesterday as
we'll, Manager Cronin's gang to-
day had ideas of making it clean
sweep over their rivals in order to
be thoroughly entrenched in the
first division for the important
Yankee series which starts tomor-
row.
Ladies' Day Today
In an effort to accomplish this
feat, Manager Cronin planned to
send his right-handed pitching
ace, Tommy Thomas, to the
mound in what will be the
Browns final appearance here un-
til the middle of August. And,
incidentally, today is Ladies Day.
The last time Tommy faced the
Browns he was defeated, 2 to /,
in a game abbreviated by dark
ness. Also in this contest, the
veteran hurler was knocked out
of commission for pretty nearly
three weeks, due to being hit
over the heart by a liner off Ray
Peppers bat.
Today, therefore, Tommy will
be out to gain revenge-not to
get" Pepper, let it be under
stood, but to defeat the team
which almost ruined his chances
Of experiencing one of his best
campaigns in years.
Seventh Triumph, II
If Thomas wins, it'll mark his
seventh triumph of the cam
paign. If he loses, it'll be his
fifth loss, which setback he hopes
won't be entered in the record
books at this stage of the race.
George Blaeholder is expected to
be the st. Louis hurler.
Manager Joe CroninS famous
money hitting" won the third
game of the current series for
the Griffs yesterday, 10 to 8.
Coming up in the ninth with
Myer on second and Manush on
first, with base blow needed to
send the customers home smil-
ing, the young leader obliged by
slamming one of Buck Newsom' S
pitches straight to center field,
which scored Myer with the win
ming run.
The battling was decidedly of
the see-saw sort before this event
full frame. The Griffs had a f.
to- lead until the Browns, with
Manager Hornsby leading the
way, pushed Bob Burke off the
hill with a four-run rally in the
sixth.

year.
True, rabbit" Meanwhile broke
a leg in spring training and the
Yanks recently lost Tony Lazzeri

Now, however, in the past few
days the law Of averages has begun
to assert itself. And the Washing

and Luke SeNel who are in tae
hospital Kuh-l broke his ankle
sliding into base last Saturday
and Sewell was hit in the head
with pitched ball in yesterdays
game with the st. Louis Browns.
Here and there other teams
have lost an occasional player for
day or so through slight injuries.
as the Yanks yesterday lost Earl
Combs with a Sprained ankle, but
none of them can approach the
Senators except the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
The Dodgers casualty list reads
like cross section of the accident
ward in any city hospital, and to-
day Casey Stengel is mourning the
indefinite loss of Ralph Boyle, who
will be out indefinitely with a
twisted knee.
Casey started the season with
about nine infielders and a flock
of outfielders. and yet before the
season was six weeks old he was
forced to use his catcher, AL
Lopez, as second baseman and
again as third baseman. It's a
great tribute to Casey'S ability as
a leader that he has kept the
team going as we'll as he has.

nearer to the Giants, who were
being knocked off by the younger

Mel Otis thirteenth homer, and
one by Jackson, but he managed
to score his tenth victory when

CLOSED BALL
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GARRETT WATERS
"The umpires haven't been
rubbing the gloss off the ball
this year and it's the big rea-
son why so many batterS are
getting hit in the head and
other parts of their body.
"I'm going to appeal to Presi-
dent Harridge to bring the rule
back-it used to be in force
as too many of my performers
are getting injured unnecessar-
ily."
So said Clark Griffith. pre&
dent of the Washington Club. tA+

day which found Luke SeweH

hit on the head by Bump HadleA
ace hurler Of the Browns.
II know Hadley didn't mean
to throw at Sewell, in fact, he
explained the ball slipped out
of his hand due to the gloss.
And it's the second time he's
hit a batter this season."
All Of which brings the new
ball question" into the limelight
again. There's plenty of things
different about the sphere no
doubt, as not only have the pitch
ers complained, but the infielders
and outfielders as we'll.
Maybe next year the several
moguls will get together and de-
eide to make it less lively, or as
Griff suggests, make it the league
rule again to have the umnires
rub the gloss off before each
game begins.
Sewell, incidentally, was not
injured seriously when hit by
Hadley yesterday. He was rushed
to D. C. hospital Immediately

Pitching will Decide
Although recognized as a great
hitting team, the Yanks will be
most successful in this series if
their pitching holds up. In other
words, the hurlers will be forced
to bear down to win the close
games, whereas if these contests
were being played in New York,

In tomorrow's opener of the

today that he'd send Monte
