Griffs Idle Today,
FdCeMdCkmen
Tomorrow
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

The demand for synthetic
double-headers created an open
date on the schedule of the Griffs
today, but they're off for Phila-
delphia in the mornin.' There's
a single game on Friday, another
on Saturday and the twin bill on
Sunday, made possible by the
days postponement. The Griffs
had a chance to pick up some
ground on the Chicago White Sox,
who were held idle by the rain in
Chicago yesterday.
Failing to gain on Chicago, the
Griffs increased their lead over
the Boston Red Sox who dropped
to the 500 mark by losing q
double-header to the Philadelphia
Athletics. It becomes pathetically
plain as the days roll along that
the Sox have the battle of their
lives on their hands to remain in
the first division. They may have
a hectic time to beat out Wash
ington.
The five-game streak Of the
Griffs stopped when the defense
disintegrated in the seventh in
ming. No errors marred the card
of the Griffs, but circumstances
combined to give New York four
runs in the seventh inning, and
these were sufficient unto the
day.
DiMaggio Smashes One
Joe DiMaggio thrilled a bumper
ladies' day crowd with a smashing
line drive into the left field stands
for a home run. This wallop
lacked some Of the majestic ira
jectory of his cTout into the CEN
terrified stands on Monday. It
was low, climbing drive, some
thing of a replica Of a well-hit full
No. iron. There was a venomouS
crack as the hickory met the lea
ther, and you knew that ball was
gone.
Not so regal was DiMaggio's
first hit in the opening inning,
which placed frankie Crosetti in
position to score. Not so regal
was his Scooting grounder in the
seventh, which just eluded the
clutch Of Ossie Bluege in the sew
enth, putting Red Rolfe on third
base, whence he later scored. No,
the purple and the ermine were
missing from those blows, but
they were deep Stabs to the Griffs.
It may be commended, and in
fact, it was contended that If
Bluege had started faster on the
hit in the seventh that the teams
might have been fighting yet.
The writer will not enter that
contention. Perhaps there is JUS
tice in it. Perhaps the hit should
have been fielded. DeShong in
Dictated that he held to this opin.
ion at the time. What really
counts is that the drives found
grass beyond the clutching gloves
Of the Griffs, and will live for
ever in the records as hits.
Luck Fails for Jimmy
The luck of Jimmy DeShong
failed to hold in the press of
Yankee competition. Usually the
Griffs tap an unfailing stream

SPORTS FANS
OFTEN ASK
TOO MUCH
OF HEROES
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

tH1eS SPOTtS EuLtOT
The reaction of the
fight followers to the
last two efforts of Joe
Louis h a S convinced
me of one thing, to wit:
The human element is sell
dom taken into considera-
ton in diagnosing the eff
forts of either a winner or
loser.
In fact, there is a natural
tendency, not only among
fight fans, but among baseball
and football enthusiasts and
especially among followers OF
the thoroughbreds, to expect
too much of our heroes-man
or beast.
Even now I find all too many
interviewerS who are not inclined
to give Joe Louis much credit for
defeating the veteran Jack
Sharkey. In the eyes of some,
Louis hasn't proved thing about
himself, because so many claim
he has yet to beat a formidable
foe.
Beat All But One
They were saying the same
thing about a horse named Cal
liant Fox half dozen years ago.
You will recall that Gallant Fox
swept pretty we'll through the field
of three-year-olds that season, such
a field as it was.
Well, the same thing applies to
Joe Louis. Except for Max
Schmeling, like Gallant Fox, Joe
Louis has done everything they
have asked him to do and he did
it in pretty short order. Like
Gallant Fox also, Louis was con-
sistent. His form has been excel
lent. One bad fight in 20 isn't a
mean average.
And, speaking of Joe Louis one
bad fight in 20, how many bad
days in your normal business pur-
suits do you have every month?
I mean days when things just
don't seem to go right! Days
when you can't get things click
ing! Days when your fingers all
seem to be thumbs and when
you'd be better off if you didn't
go near your business at all!
The Human Element
At least one in every 90, I'm
sure, unless you are genius or
unless you are superhuman.
Those occasional bad starts and
bad finishes to which we are all
heir are equivalent to the human
element in sports about which I
am sermonizing today.
Any athlete has them. Even
Jesse Owens had one losing Olym-
pic race wherein he couldn't head
his field. Maybe he had been
over raced. Maybe he had gone
stale.
How does this apply to Joe
Louis?
It applies to Joe's case by dint
