Travis Brace Seen Aid.

THERE is, too, a likelihood that
- Cecil Travis will continue to dis
pei some of Bucky Harris infield wor-
ries. In Philadelphia the youngster
positively was brilliant. For the first
time this year he broke" consistently
on balls hit to shortstop. Teaming
with Ossie Bluege and Red Kress, who
alternated at second base, Cecil was
the key man in deadly combinat ton
around the center of the infield.
Both Joe Kuhel and Johnny Stone
seem to have snapped out of their
recent batting slumps. Kuhel hit over
500 at Philadelphia to boost his aver
age to the new high of 1888. Stone
was not far behind and his mark to
date Is 1929. Cliff Bolton, hale and
hearty again, is creeping within hail
ing distance of 300 and Travis, in
addition to winning back his shortstop
position, Is banging the ball in q
manner reminiscent Of 1884 and 1885.
Only inconsistent pitching and the
fact that all of this good ball playing
was done against Eastern outfits are
flies in the ointment. 1t remains to
be seen, and right now, whether the
Griffs can do it against the Indians
and White Sox.

Giants power matches that Of the
Cardinals. Its just that New York
is doin' things right" is about the
way most explanations 60.
Be that rs it may, although
IL sounds like . strong case of
understatement, It seems to be
about time the Giants were at
tracting chief attention Of
American Leaguers Is well as
National Leaguers.
Thanks to the Terrymen the race
down the stretch in the older of the
major leagues promises to equal in
thrills and closeness even the grand
finish by the Cubs and Cards last year.
The next couple weeks. which find the
Giants campaigning in the West and
the Cubs and Cards in the East,
should tell much of the story.
In more ways than the mere
resemblance Of the 1886 stretch
run to that Of 1888 does history
stand q chance to repeat. More
than the current Cubs them
selves, the Giants strongly re-
semble the National League
champs Of last year.
Coming from nowhere the Chi
cagoans startled the base ball world
by their streak. They we're hot and
50 are the Giants. They featured
team play and so do the Terrymen.
Their pitchers clicked and so are New
New York's functioning now. Even
individually there are resemblances.
MancusO Is Like Harnett.
T IKE the Cubs last year, New York
has q veteran catcher who Is
playing . great, steadying game be-
hind the bat, in addition to lending
valuable offensive strength. The Cubs
had Gabby Hartnett. The Giants
have Gus Mancuso.
On first base Is another striking re-
semblance. Charlie Grimm couldn't
play last year but he found an under
study who plugged the gap in Phil
Cavaretta.
The Giants Bill Terry
couldn't play this year, but he
fon HAD exeenk3onal luck In
filling the breach with Sam

Win IL Series In . Row.

won II in q row now and need . wins
to match this streak. 1t isn't likely
they'll do it, for it takes . big hunk

Nevertheless, the Giants need
fear NO embarrassment On this
score Of comparison. Before

. few things they've done:
In winning their last IL games
they've compiled the best winning

During this month the Giants have

"A yEW YORK, August 25.-Friends
nj of Avery Brundage and Dan
VI Ferris, president and secre-
L y tary, respectively, Of tbs A.
A. u, eagerly are awaiting their ar
rival in this country from Germany.
Like giant crags on . North Atlantic
promontory, they have breasted the
various internal and external storms
that marked the United States Of
America adventure in international
athletic competition with admirable
poise and with words admirably few.
But there are more words to be
said and those who are friendly to
the two presiding geniuses Of the ma
tional organization Of track and field,
as well as those who habitually re-
serve opinion on controversial mat
ters until all evidence has been sub
mitted, are highly expectant concern
ing such final testimony as Brundage
and Ferris have to ofier.
Critics Live In Glass Houses.
1T Is q fact that some Of those who
have been hurting rocks at the
A. A. U. administration live in houses
almost completely made Of glass and
If the two athletic mandarins shortly
due on these shores decide to throw
some retaliatory stones the consequent
shattering will be heard around the
Nation.
The Jarrett case Is . closed book
and nothing more will develop con-
cerning it, but there are other mat
ters in which finality has by no means
been reached and it is Of these which
the A. A. q. ofdcials undoubtedly will
speak.
But friends Of Avery Brundage,>
confident OF his executive integrity
and his judicial wisdom, do not be-
lieve he was happy altogether in the
most recent statement attributed to
him from Berlin in which he Is quoted
as saying that from now on the
United States must learn from Eu-
rope, whereas in the past Europe
learned from us.
IF We want to hold our own We
will have to begin to train" he Is
quoted as saying. "in the same in
tensive way and on a national scale"
May Not Be Desirable.
THOSE who hold the most lofty
brief for amateur athletics are
not sure that it is desirable to hold
our own" under such conditions. Nor
are they sure that, in view Of present
trends, 1t is desirable that the United
States continue further in these games.
Just as In England similar thought
obtains. For, to succeed in future
Olympics, it is obvious that all ma
tions thus ambitious must do as Ger
many, Czechoslovakia. Japan and
other nations did in looking forward
to the recent games. Withdrawing ath-
letes, swimmers and other specialists
from their normal occupations over
Is months period in which inten-
sive instruction and training was
maintained.
In other words. the Olympic games
steadily are drawing away from pure
athletics and becoming q vehicle OF
national expression in which patriot
ism, propaganda, national jealousies
and rivalries are exploited hardly less
than In armed conflict.
II the United States wants this.
then Brundage's warning ought to
be needed. But it Is not now ap-
parent that Americans deem 1t de-
sirable.

Today's North American events were
200-target races at 16 yards. and the

~ ELITTLED all season for a
x lack of opportunism that un-
doubtedly cost a measure OF
real eclat, the Nationals today
discovered that their chief sin can
be wiped of the records in the next
couple of weeks All they have to do
Is open the door because opportunity
Is going to play little knock, knock.
Beginning today, when they start
their final long home stand Of the
season, the Nationals are likely to
start giving the answer as to where
they'll finish in an American League
race that bars only three positions
from them-first, seventh and eighth.
The Griffs' range of possibilities ex-
tends from sixth place to second.
Riding now in the runner-up posi-
ton, 512 games ahead of the Mats, the
day for three-game series that rep
resents opportunity No. l. The In
dians' lead is not so great as to place
them beyond reach, especially in view
of Cleveland's reputation as a poor
road team.
More than any other club, the Tribe
has struck hardest at the Griffs' hopes
this season. Washington has slaugh-
tered the AS and the Browns, gained
the edge on the Red Sox, held the
Tigers even, fought tooth and nail
with the Yankees but, alas and alack,
folded before the Indians and White
Sox.
Evening star., 1936-08-25
Mats Also Have Arguments.

FIFTEEN times. for instance, the
Nationals have clashed with
Cleveland and eleven times the In
next invaders, been much more lenient.
They have won II Of II decisions.
These records against Washington
are powerful arguments for the Tribe
and Sox but the Griffs are not with
out few arguments themselves. In
the first place they are running in
better stride than at any time this
year. For a while, back in June, they
played more brilliant ball, but it was
over a shorter stretch. AS they go
into todays series with Cleveland the
Nationals show a record of five con-
secutive series victories achieved at
the expense of the other three East
ern clubs.
They started the streak on August
I. A series with the Red Sox at home
was won. 2 to /. Next they invaded
New York and whipped the Yanks in
series by the same count, 81. From
Gotham the Griffs Travelled to Bos-
ton and won four-game set. 3 to 1.
Back home, they again took a Sc
ries from New York, 81, and on Sum-
day they finished a five-game set with
the AS in Philadelphia, winning 3 to
2. Thus for nearly three weeks Wash
tngton has played as well as any
team in the majors, excepting the
Giants. The Mats record of IL wins
as against six defeats matches that
OF any other club, American League
or National.
