ll.-One belief this waning
base ball campaign has
~ spread among diamond folk
Is that Clark Grifith has an uncanny
knack of reaching into the minor
leagues and plucking forth venerable
but helpful cogs for his Washington
club.
One of the exhibits is Pete Apple
ton. Another, and more recent, speci-
men is Shanty Hogan, the one-man
gang who has been doing the bulk Of
the Mats catching lately and who
today virtually had clinched the regu-
lar backstopping job.
The Griffmen, themselves, are look
ing upon Shanty with new respect.
Many of them, comparative newcom-
ers to the big leagues. regarded his
coming to the Washingtons with
amusement. They had heard of him
in a vague sort of way-a didn't
he-play- with Giants s-once?" way-but
that was all. Now they have discov-
cred that Shanty, for all of his fallen
chest and 260 pounds, still is pretty
much of a ball player.
The pitchers openly are delighted
at the prospect Of hurting to the big
fellow, who is handling them in a
fashion that might well make an
experienced American League catcher
blush with shame. On the base paths,
Of course. he is total loss, but when
Shanty picks up a bat he does nothing

II He Could Only Pick Ponies.

RACK early in April, when people
were picking the base ball win
ners, and the Tigers and Red Sox
were heavily backed, you recall Clark
Griffith being asked what team he
liked and why, and his answer and
reasons come back quickly.
His son-in-law was managing and
playing for the Bostons. but Griff at
the time feared there were too many
stars on one team"
"The Tigers? liked them
until they got AL Simmons. I
doubt IL they'll click as well.
I'll tell you the club I'd pick if I
could see one player. If he's in shape
and could tell in a few minutes
I'd take the Yankees"
The player to whom Griff referred
was Bill Dickey. You can take
Gehrig and the rest of the Yanks
more or less for granted" he said,
"but Dickey will make or break the
club"
Latest averages show Dickey to be
hitting 1854 for 104 games. He's scored
IS runs, made las hits and driven
across 102 runs.

Tigers Gang up on Newsom.

IN T1GERTOWN yesterday 1t was
all Bridges. Buck Newsom did a
fair Job of pitching for the Mats,
but there was no beating Tommy, who
was given a lead at the start and
never allowed himself to lose 1t, ex-
cept for few moments when Hogan
lined out his home run.
The Tigers coined run in the first
inning on Walkers single, Burns
walk, long fly by Gehringer, and
Goslin's grounder. In the fifth in
ming Shanty connected for his long
clout after two were out and the
bases empty. Making it Ii.
Detroit, in its half of the fifth,
came back to score two runs on
singles by owen and Walker and
Burns double. This made it 81. In
the eighth 1t was boosted to 5-1 on
Gehringer's single. Goslin's double,
and Simmons single.
Only In the ninth inning was Wash
ington able to put together more
than one hit. With one down Lewis
bunted and beat it out and Kuhel
doubled him across. Stone famed,

Hits All Kinds Of Pitchers.

SHANTY has caught only five games
for the Nationals since he obtained
his parole from Albany, thanks to Cliff
Bottoms run out" but he has proven
definitely that he still has his batting
eye. Unlike most recruits, Shanty
does not have to prove he can hit
major-league pitching. That was
known when he played in the National
League. All Hogan had to do, when
he joined the Griffs, was to show that
he still could hit, and five games is
test a-plenty.
Looking back on his record as an
American Lacquer, Hogan shapes up
as good as ever of the tee. In l6
official trips to the plate he's made
hits for 500 average. He scored S
runs and drove across 2. Moreover,
he's hit all kinds of pitching.
Rookie Fred Archer, an Athletic
ago, was the first to face Hogan, who
got double and a walk. Another
southpaw, Bullock of the AS, also
found that Hogan could hit. Fritz
Ostermuller, still another left-hander,
was mauied by the big guy next and
then came Southpaw Jake Wade Of
the Tigers, who was nicked for two
hits in three chances to retire Hogan.
Then, yesterday, Hogan encountered
his first right-handed pitching test in
Tommy Bridges, who evened the
series at Detroit by holding the
Nationals to five hits and winning, S
to 2.

Socks Homer of Bridges.

IT WAS the best Bridges effort of
the year, but still not good enough
to stop Shanty. OF all the Griffs,
Hogan was the only gent who couldn't
be fooled. He singled the first time
and hit terrific line-drive home run
the second time up. On his third and
last trip he sent Charley Gehringer
back of second base for his smash and
for anybody else it would have been a
base hit.
Manager Bucky Harris, admittedly
one of the doubling Thomases when
Hogan first was Grated to the Ma
tionals, now is doubling no longer.
With little ceremony he made Shanty
the Griff's first string catcher today
as the Washingtons shifted their ac-
tivities to Cleveland, where they hope
to gain ground in the race for second
place.
In playing the Indians this season
the Griffs have shown no particular
talent, but currently they are far
"hotter" than the Tribe and while
Detroit. which is tied for third place
with Washington. is battling the
Yankees, Harris believes his outfit can
pick up game or two.

Physicinn Tries Duel With Death But Loses
Dr.. Edward Katskee Had Written He Did Not Intend to Die-Tridled With Germ Specter-He Is
 Most Certainly Dead

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 27-(UP).- Medical men said today that Dr. Edward Katskee's experiment with death" was futile, because 1t ended too quickly-in death. The record of the physicians daring joust with the effects of poison ended with a death scrawl on the wall of his of- fice-feebly formed words saying his hear was growing weaker, that he could hardly hold his pencil. There was little, if anything, to indicate suicide. Katskee, 34, was highly re- garded in Omaha medical circles, and was a frequent contributor to professional journals. He used nar- cotics regularly at one time, accord- ing to Coroner's Investigator Matt Jaap. His experiment was to show how effects of an overdose Of co. caine progressed into death.
 Not Going To Die
 Dr. KatSkee wrote on the wall ot his office that he did not intend to die. This is just my way of con- tributing to medical and scientific archives" he wrote. Also on the wall was a penciled notation on the use of carbohydrates such as sugar as an antidote, and technique of op- erating pulmotor. Apparently Kat skee planned to summon a hotel clerk for aid before he lapsed into unconsciousness. It was there he made the first of three mistakes.
