synthetic Sunday double header,
something he has considered
prime evil Of the game ever since
its introduction by the Cardinals in
st. Louis several years ago. With
night games permissible. there
would be no need of backing up
engagements to Sundays to benefit
club Golfers he argues.
When the night game was given
major dignity by the National
League last Winter, Griffith led the
American League owners in their
derisive as well as bitter criticism
success of the Reds experiment
with the after-dark pastiming and
the meager attendances at daytime
games in their own parks appears
to have brought about a change of
heart in some of the junior major
leaders.
There is every likelihood that
Griffith would have some support
should ne advocate the adoption
of the night game in the American
League when he goes to the Winter
meeting. The Browns in st. Louis
and the AS in Philadelphia as
well as the Nationals have felt
the pinch of poverty this year.
But there will be opposition, too.
Eddie Collins. perhaps as spokes-
man for the Red SoX, has come
along with a blast against the
night game. Frank Navin, Detroit
owner. not so long ago reiterated
his dislike OF major league play
under lights and other owners
have gone on record against it.
But if Griffith comes around to
wanting it, he will make a great
fight for the adoption of the after
dark pastiming by his circuit.

Mack, oldest son of the veteran
Connie Mack and coach of the Ath-

Whitehill, Heinie Manush and Red
KresS of the Nationals would be with
the squad. but Clark Griffith declared
this morning that no player under
contract to his club would be given
permission to make the trip.
Kress. Washington shortstop, who
was released to Chattanooga and re-
called in few hours late last month,
was to have played right field for the
tourists. Whitehill was to pitch, and
Manush take care of an outfield job.
Grifith's refusal to permit his play
ers to barnstorm leaves Mack with
only eight actually signed for his all
star squad, with others tentatively Sc
lected.
According to the Associated Press.
Ted Lyons of the White Sox and
Rube Walberg, Red Sox, will be taken
along to pitch. Luke Sewell, Chicago,
will do the backstopping, with others
lining up as follows: First base, Hank
Greenberg, Tigers; second base, Char
ley Gehringer, Tigers; shortstop, Eric
McNair, Athletics; third base. Pinky
Higgins. Athletics, and center field,
Roger Cramer, Athletics. Bing Miller,
Red Sox coach, will travel with the
team as coach and utility player.
The squad will play II games in
Mexico City and two each in Monterey

Griffith seems to think so
and there is more than a

Georgia avenue ball yard next year.
That some 10000 turnout at
the donkey game last Thursday

presses willingness to accept the
new order provided the night game

more favorable than those that
now prevail. Griffith is preparing
to carry the question of the night
game to the Winter meeting of the
American League.
The Washington clubs president
first of all insists there must be
improvement in the lighting of
parks for night play. He admits
that his own ball yard is not now
properly equipped for the sport
after dark, although it has been
used for it by independent teams.
Lighting of parks where night
league competition Is regularly
scheduled leaves much to be de-
sired, however, Griffith contends.
He would not schedule night
games here until after June Is, be-
lieving there would be little
patronage after dark in the cooler
weather before then in the base
ball season. Perhaps a night game
a week or even one in each series
with a visiting club could be
played, he thinks.

NEEDS TEN POINTS
TO CATCH vOSM|K
Road Star Would Be Third
National to Win Title.
Holds Steady Gait.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,

~ OSTON, August 10-Out where
x the West begins and beckons
to the Nationals after two
1 more skirmishes with the Red
Sex tomorrow are a couple of ball
playing fellahs who may be just a
little jittery.
Not that Hank Greenberg and Joe
Vosmik are squeamish, particularly
over the Forthcoming invasion of the
Griffmen as a team. Greenbergs
team, the Tigers, have done very well
against Washington this season, win
8 of IA tits. Vosmik's club. the In
dians, have grabbed of II games
from the Nationals.
1t is Buddy Myer who might we'll
have this pair worried. For 10 years
now Buddy has been rated, by fans
and players alike, as just "a good
ball player" That has been all. AL
ways Buddy has been overshadoWed
by Charley Gehringer among second
basemen in the American League.
And he's never been big enough, nor
is he of the type to put big dents in
the fences and win fame that way,
Hits Steadily All Season.
THAT was from 1925 through 1884,
= though. This is another season,
and pitchers who have been only
vaguely annoyed in the past when
NIyer stepped to the plate now are
downright worried. They admit they'd
rather see Heinie Manush or Johnny
Stone or Cecil Travis facing 'em in
stead of Myer.
Their fear is shared, with Green
berg and Vosnik divvying up a goodly
share now. Vosmik. you see. is leading
the leading league in hitting and
Greenberg is second. They've been in
the race for the batting championship
before, but Myer as a threat is some
thing new-but threat, none the less.
When Buddy opened the season with
q bang, it was regarded as little more
than a good omen. Never before has
Myer batted higher than 313. although
he has been a 800 hitter during six OF
his ten seasons in the majors.
But this season Buddy refused to
bat in streaks and slumps. All Spring
and Summer his yaller bat has been
socking base hits. There were no out
standing streaks, although he hit
safely in 81 consecutive games in
June. There were no outstanding
slumps. He kept his average between
$3.50 and $40 most of the year.

This happens to be the spot where
the tougher job should begin. For
surplus weight builds up quickly, and
with the incentive of competition

grind.
If there is one man who should
know his share about condition, from

former coach and trainer at Yale,
Michigan and Princeton with a back
ground of more than 40 years in this

ANY man or any woman who

big mistake" Fitzpatrick says.
THE fat man or woman, especially
one who has passed 40, is more in
clined to pick up various illnesses
with less resistance at hand. I am
not advocating any strict diets that
bring about too much loss Of weight.
I don't believe in quick reducing.
do believe in watching your weight
from the start. This applies especial

hour as the Yankees shaded the

the laurels in this contest was John

city of his first triumphs to touch off
the rally that led to a Yankee VIC
tory. The former Giant shortstop
made his debut as Yankee by
slapping clean single to right. Ruff

which, with the help of errors, allowed
Blondy to score and then Rolfe

Leading Examples.

Ledulng Examples.
TWO of the best examples I know
in watching weight and condition
after retirement are Jack Dempsey
and Gene Tunney.
Dempsey weighed around 1913 the
night he fought Tunney in Chicago.
Eight years later Jack tips the scales
at 203 pounds, only a slight gain.
was with Dempsey one day when
his tailor took the measurements for
a suit and found almost no changes
to make in the figures dating from
the last of Jacks fighting days.
The same is true of Tunney. Gene
weighed close to 100 in Chicago when
he met Dempsey for the last time.
Tunney today is around 200 pounds,
but Tunney. like Dempsey, is over six
feet and heavily muscled.
I asked Gene the type of setting-up
exercises he follows.
"The important ones" he said, "are
those that affect the stomach and the
stomach muscles. 1t is necessary to
have the stomach covered with
muscular protection to keep out any
f1abbiness. You can see the shape
I'm keeping in. Take a good poke
with right or left If you care to-"
After observing Genes alb
dominal development, with a
muscular. covering like rhinO
leather, your correspondent de-
cided not to risk breaking
hand. Tunney's stomach de-
velopment was just about as
1t was when he quit the game.
Dempsey still is the same high
strung, nervous type he was back
in his early and his championship
days. He still is as restless as the
west wind: Tunney moves along at
much calmer pace, with a working
philosophy that could be big help
to high and low alike.
Other Stars.
TWO or three years back Bobby
Jones decided that he had to
look after his increasing weight.
Bobby always has had a battle to
face along this line.
Through dieting and exercising he
took off 18 pounds in 40 days, a
rather hurried process, but he has
kept his reduced weight ever since.
Bobby Jones today weighs less than
he weighed 10 years ago, when he
still was in the thick of championship
golf.
But they all haven't been like
Dempsey. Tunney and Bobby Jones.
After his last stand, or his last fall,
Jess Willard allowed his weight to
run from 260 to something like $50.
Firpo fought Dempsey at 221 and
from last accounts the wild bull Of
the far-away pampas had. moved up
to well over 800, which is many
pounds over par.
Firpo and willard together on the
scales would tip the beam at 700
pounds, which borders on what you
might call the excessive side.
One Of the greatest shocks an old
