TWO J|NS FACE
On PARK MAT

The novelty of witnessing o
champion pressing with his back
to the wall may be one of tho
novelties offered at Griffith Sta
dium tomorrow night when Big
Jim" Browning assists Jim Nc
MILAN in starting the 1884 open
air season at Griffith Stadium.
Though possessed of a short
range flying tackle that seldom
fails to find its mark, Mcmillan
will by no means confine himself
to football tactics. Having de-
veloped into one of the most color
full and headiest Wrestlers of this
era during the past two years,
the former Illinois football cap
tain will be ready to match what
ever strategy Browning sees fit
to adopt.
The special featuring Of Joe
Savoldi and Everett Marshal
rivals the main event itself in
interest and color while a rousing
semifinal finds Earl McCready
matched with Harry Fields. Joe
Dusek pairs off with Ernie Zeller
and pouter pigeonish Dick Raines
engages Joe Shinkus.

Times Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, May 23.-Gen.
Alvin Crowder's excellent work on
the mound in that 5-to-2 finale
against the Detroit Tigers at De
troit yesterday made Manager
Joe Cronin's pitching situation
look like a bed Of roses today.
For now the young pilot ap-
parently has four pitchers he can
depend upon, Bob Burke, Lefty
Walter Stewart, Monte Weaver
and Crowder.
What makes the future look
even more rosy is that Tommy
Thomas and Earl Whitehill should
be pitching in their best form
shortly-Tommy as soon as he
fully RECEIVERS from that chest
injury he suffered in Washington,
and Whitehin, as soon as he has
overcome that complex which has
kept him from going nine innings
to date.
The Griffs have had a difficult
struggle to get going this season
"a struggle that has seen every
hurler on the staff pressed to
the limit, but a struggle that to-
day appears to be nearing a tri-
Umphant conclusion.
Plugging Wins
But what has brought about
this sudden success faith" and
an everlasting plugaWay system
by the hurting boys offer an
interesting answer, which thought
can't be better pictured than a
brief review Of General Alvin
Crowder's effort this season.
The veteran took an unusually
long time to get in shape at
training camp because he waited
too long to test his fast ball,
his best weapon.
When he did test it, he found
was lacking and as a result he
mad to undergo a new period OF
training to get the old "speeder"
back again. It's taken him all
this time to satisfy himself that
he had it once more.
Believe He's Ready
Yesterday, he stepped to the
mound with a generous belief he
was ready at last. He got by the
first inning all right, followed by
striking out both Cochrane and
Greenberg in the second inning,
although scored upon before the
frame was over and carried on
by pitching 'em by each batsman
until the realization that a vic
tory had been registered his first
real one of the new campaign.
Crowder'S struggle has been just
one of the many, but like his
brother hurlerS, his appears to
have been won, providing yes
terday's effort was not a flash
in the pan.
Today Manager Cronin stated
that Crowder would be figured
as a regular starter from now on.
Said Cronin:
"Maybe we're not all set now.
At least it appears 80, and are
we enjoying CrOwder's triumph
0S well as he is himself. I'll
NRy we are"

The Washington times., 1934-05-23

get back in the running, threaten
as they did against AL Crowder's
shoots in the eighth and ninth.
This Crowder pitched a whale
Of a contest throughout. He had
his control, and even more i'm
portant his fast ball worked on
every cylinder.
His best innings were the eighth
and ninth when he retired the
Tigers after they had gathered
threatening hits off his deliveries.
The Griffs, by winning, defeated
a pitcher, Tom Bridges, who has
been a veritable jinx ever since
his first day in the big leagues.
The Washington times., 1934-05-23

The Browns, the records tell,
put it on the Griffs good and
proper while stopping off at Grit
fifth Stadium early this month.
Before they left, they had three
victories under their belts.
Out For Revenge
Today Joe Cronin and his men
hoped for revenge. They envi-
stoned excellent chances of being
successful, following their most
gratifying series at Detroit which
found them winning two games
out Of three.
But to accomplish the feat they
realized that a continuance OF
the good pitching that has pre-
vailed of late must feature, that
their batting in the pinches must
be kept up, and that their field
ing must be above the average.
Manager Cronin staid today
that Lefty Walter Stewart, Monte
Weaver and Earl Whitehill will
be his hurlers for the series.
Thomas Still Idles
This means that Tom my
Thomas will still be on the side
lines to rest a few days more
before giving his finger a test
that will come in the Chicago
series beginning Saturday.
Said Cronin today:
"On the strength Of what
Stewart and Weaver showed in
their Cleveland assignments last
last week, we ought to grab at
least two games from the
Browns, but according to White
hill we will win that third one
too as he says he feels better
than at any other time now,
and has ideas of pitching his
first nine inning contest Of the
season."
"And he will at that, if he is
right as his dope figures him to
be. Besides this point, you can
rest assured we'll be in there
trying to win for him with our
bats-as an added feature, SO
to speak"
Cronin, incidentally, will en-
ploy the same lineup as that
which represented the Griffs in
Detroit yesterday. This means
,Tohnnv Stone will continue as
the teams centerfielder and that
Dave Harris will be in right.
Stone Shines
Fred Schultz is available, but
Cronin has it figured that the big
outfielder could use another days
rest, which procedure will be fol-
lowed
Stone played a gratifying part
in the Griffs' 5-to-2 triumph over
the Tigers yesterday by singing
Cronin home in what started his
teams big three-run rally in the
eighth inning.
Johnny stepped to the ulate
with Cronin on second and two
out, with a hit needed to break
a % tie. He delivered by bounc-
ing a base blow over Tom Bridges
head.
This so unnerved Bridges that
before the frame ended, Travis
and Phillips had singled in sue
cession and the GriffS had three
runs instead of one.
OF course it was the turning
point of the game as it put the
Tigers so far behind they couldn't

Liquor Beard Refuses
 License To Ketchikan

Easing the decision on rul- ing by Attorney General Truitt that municipal corporation in Alaska cannot legally engage in the liquor business, the Terr- itorial Board of Liquor Control has rejected an application for license made by the city of Ketchikan, according to the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 The proposal to operate a municipality owned retail liq- uor store originated in the city council of Ketchikan and was endorsed by the public at a special election some days ago.

DIMCND ASKS $15,OO0,OO0
 FOR ALASKA DEFENSES

Congressional approval for a S15,8OO,OOO military and air defense base in Alaska is being sought by Alaska Delegate A. J. Dimond in a bill introduced in the lower house a few days ago.
 The measure calls for the es- tablishment of a base equipped with 100 airplanes and a garri- son of 230 commissioned and 2,200 enlisted men in the vicin- ity of Fairbanks. The bill also provides for such additional military airfields and other utilities in the Territory as may be necessary for the national defense.

Ketchikan Bars Booze
 Vendors From Payroll

The Ketchikan city council, by a vote of five to one, passed an ordinance last week elimin- ating from the city payroll ali persons engaged in the sale of liquor, according to the Ketchi. kan Chronicle.
 Apparently only one person, L. H. Kubley, chief of the city fire department, was affected by the enactment.
 A recent municipal election granted the city authority to establish and operate a liquor store if sanctioned by the Ter ritorial liquor control board. In the meantime two local stores are dispensing hard liquor.

FURTHER DETAILS OF
 ASSESSMENT L A w

Additional information rela- tive to- the Congressional en- actment suspending annual as- sessment work 70 n mining claims indicates that the meas ure differs from the 1888 law in only one important partic- ular.
 The enactment, passed May 10, provides that the benefits will not apply to more than six claims held by the same person nor to more than twelve claims held by the same partnership, association or corporation.
 The suspension provisions do not apply to any claimant not entitled to exemption from payment of federal income tax for 1888 and claimants, to ob- tainthe benefitsofthe act, must file or cause to be filed in the office where the location not ice or certificate is recorded on or before July 1, notice of their desire to hold the prop erty under the act. This notice must state that the claimant is entitled to exemption from in- come tax payment.
 The exemption applies only to the assessment year ending July 1, 1884, at 12 o'clock meridian.
