GRIST OF THE GRIFFS

Arkansas" Bill slapped a home
run into the right field bleacherS.
So it happened that three runs
went up on score board.
Alvin Jake" Powell, an ugly
duckling in the seventh inning,
preened his swan quilts in the
eighth. His home run rode on a
line to the left field stands,
to the great glee of all hands on
the washington bench.
The Griffs put on their biggest
show of the season in the eighth
inning. They scored six runs on
five hits and went into the lead.
Those runs were sorely needed,
for the Yankees are always the
Yankees.
Cecil Travis is going to pull
a ball into right field one of
these days and everyone will faint.
He hit three into extreme left
right on the foul line. He reached
second on all three Of them-two
doubles and an error.
Jesse Hill scampered into left

ing at a fast clip along the col
lege baseball highways, was en-
gaging Navy down by Annapolis
way today. The Old Liners are
favored to win, though the TarS
have been strengthened by the re-
turn to action Of several regulars
who had become ineligible due to
academic deficits.
The Old Liners administered a
sound drubbing to Duke, 1874, at
College Park yesterday with Mr..
Charley Keller, the Maryland
Mauler, sending shivers down the
spine of Coach Jack Coombs Of
Duke everytime he strobe to the
plate with a bat that packs a
Ruthian punch.
Mr.. Keller only knocked out a
homer and a double, drew two
passes and scored four runs. Sit
ting in the stands for the second
time was Clark Griffith, president
of the Washington Baseball Club,
who has cast an approving eye on
young Mr.. Keller, who is a sopho-
more. Mr.. Keller tickets the ap.
pie for a long ride, covers much
acreage in the outfield and owns
a powerful throwing arm.
incidentally, yesterday marked
the fourteenth straight game in
which Mr. Keller. has hit safely.

CLARK FORCES
REGRETS ON
BILL TERRY

Bill Terry'S trades, like Mother
Carey's chickens, always come
home to roost.
A year ago Terry obtained
Lefty Bill Clark from the Dodgers
for song. Then he gave him
back for something less than a
Groom. Today he'd be willing to
give an aria for him.
Last fall when the Dodgers
were busily engaged in knocking
the Giants out of a pennant,
Terry was figuring on paying
somebody to take Clark off his
hands. Today Terry is wonder
ing why he didn't have just a
little more patience.
For yesterday the Dodgers
started in where they left off
last fall and their bette noire, as
we say on Park Avenoo, was that
same Bill Clark.
Lefty set the Giants down, II
to S, in the first meeting Of the
transporting rivals while the
Dodgers routed fat Freddy Fitz-
simmons, long a Dodger nemesis,
under a six-run barrage in the
third heat.
OF course, al this was duly ap-
preciated by the most rabid fans
on earth-the same being those
who root for the Dodgers, and II
Bill Terry's ears didn't burn it
must be only because they are
made of asbestos.
Plenty of Errors
AS a ball game, it was some
thing for the fans in Podunk-or
Brooklyn-to rave about. Actually,
it was something odd enough to
make old timers wriggle in their
graves. There were at least seven
official errors of varying dlmen-
sions and a few others that might
have been charged.
But the Dodger fans were salts
fled. not to say elated, and TO-DAY
Lefty Clark, an erstWhile washed
up cripple, is boasting OF three
straight victories.
Those surprising Reds con-
tinued to shock the good burgh-
ers in Redland by knocking off
the Cardinals, IL to 2, and are
for the moment safely ensconced
in the first division.
A young man, Yclept Schott,
shot the campions from under
their chapeau, yielding no more
than five puny hits while his
buddies pounded Heimes and Hal
lahan in two big juicy innings.
Peaceful Battle
The Cubs and Pirates staged
for them-a more or less peaceful
battle with the former getting a
3-to-O decision because HenshaW
kept eight Pirate hits more
widely separated than seven given
by Breckler and Lucas.
Over in the other circuit,
Mickey Cochrane's Tigers dropped
poor Rajah Hornsby's hired hands
for an 11-to-3 count, and incident
ally eased them into tie for the
cellar berth with Connie Mack's
Athletics. Old General CroWder
got credit for this one.

NEW YORK, May Joe Nc
earthly, manager Of the New
York Yankees, is fighting against
bronchial pneumonia this morn
ing with two physicians and
nurses attending him. The dag
nosis was severe congestion in
the upper chest. There is danger
of pneumonia setting in, although
last night the physicians were
able to reduce McCarthy's tenn
perature which ranged from 1923
to 104 degrees.
The Yankee leader will not
go West with the club tonight.
and probably will not join it un'
til May 16, when the Western
clubs visit Yankee Stadium. Art
Fletcher, former manager of the
Phillies, and Lieut.. Miller James
Higgins will be in command OF
the team.
Mccarthy is one of the able
tacticianS in the major leagues
and stands as a living refutation
to the argument that a man
must be a graduate of the
big league to handle an outfit
in the glorified circuits. Nc
Carthy never got higher than
the American Association and
the international loop. He was
signed to play with the Brook
Ign Feds when peace in base
ball was declared.
He is also the only major
league manager who managed
world series contestants in both
leagues. In 1929 he directed the
Cubs against the Athletics and
lost. In 1882 the Yankees
crushed the Cubs in four straight
games and Marse Joe was at the
helm.
Popular with everyone who
knows him and appreciates his
candor and real baseball value,
Mccarthy has a host of friends
d4ong Broadway roofing for him
to defeat the advances Of pneu'
monia.
Larry had a chance to win fame
for a moment in the second inn
ing. He came to bat with Bolton
on second with two out. But his
best was a slap down the third
base line which Rolfe fielded with
! the greatest of ease.
Bill Dickey lost a short debate
with Emmett Ormsby on the sub
ject of whether or not Powell's
bunt was fair. Bill, of course,
claimed that it was. Ormsby
voted on the negative side.
Circus Catch
Combs made a circus catch OF
Lary's windblown rap in the fifth
inning. The wind made the ball
dance dizzily, but Combs was
right there at the finish with the
ball in his glove.
Lazzeri is still the "walloping
wop." in the fifth lining he hit
a curve ball into right center fol
three bases. Combs famed, but
Crosetti came through like a
champion and poleda single into
