It is not much of a lead, all
things considered. The advantage
Shrinks still more when you con-
slider that Cleveland has picked
on the GriffS all season, winning
Is games in II starts. The Red
Sox are battling the Detroit tt
gers, and thus far Cronin's Tenors
have found the Tigers almost as
soft a touch as the Indians have
found the GriffS.
Conditions Changed
editions are somewhat
changed from those that pre-
vailed on the Washington club
just a short while ago. There was
a disposition to play out the string
and wait for another year. Bucky
Harris chose his own way of COM
batting that spirit. He didn't rant
and he didn't rave. He kept bawl-
ing out the Red Sox. He flooded
the bench and the locker room;
the train and the conference room
with anti-Red Sox propaganda.
He created a feud.
The players want to beat the
Red Sox now. They poured the
wood to the ball against the Yam
KEGS, against the Sox themselves,
and did a yeoman'S job against
the Philadelphia Athletics up in
QuakertoWn.
The same batting, and victory
over the TribeSmen by Buck New
som would just about start this
team off on the right foot against
the invaders. NewSom looked all
right in Boston and he looked all
right in Philadelphia. He went in
The Washington times., 1936-08-25

as a relief pitcher, and he looked
all right. He had so much stuff
that it was difficult to picture him
as the same man who staggered
and rocked under the lombard
ment of Western bats on the
Griffs' last tour of the hinter-
lands.
Little Use for SOx
A team with a purpose Is
pretty tough team to beat. The
Griffs have very little use for
Boston. Somehow or other all
ball players cherish resentmentS
when a bought and paid for
team is assembled. Most of the
good players on other clubs feel
that they should have been in
cluded in the purchased warrior
The Griffs proved that they
are purposeful young men by
their improved play against the
Yankees. You can argue off
their victories over the Red Sox
and Athletics, but when a club
goes out and beats the league
leaders in two series, that club
is playing baseball; playing win
ming baseball.
Well sir, it's a real team that
these GriffS of ours will be battling
in the series opening today. The
Indians have one Of the great
rockies of the year in the 20-year-
old Ray Weatherly, who stepped
into right field and proceeded to
play ball that made veterans
gasp. He Slugged his way to the
top of the American League hit
tiers. He is a fast fielder and a
good thrower.
Great Year
Earl Averill is sitting on top of
the league right now, having the
greatest year of his life. The
Rock" is betting the ball at a 1885
clip.
He leads the league in number
of hits with 1856, and is tied for the
lead in triples with Joe DiMaggio.
Each has made IL three-baggers.
And, of course, there's Hal
TroSky, who is pursuing Lou Geh-
rig in the home run derby. All of
these Injuns are playing the game.
Roy Hughes is playing well de-
fensively at second, and you know
the story of Bill Knockerbocker.

The spirit of optimism has crept
into the Babe Ruth Contest for
1886.
Believe it or not, Irv n
Markowitz, of Oil Fourth st.
S. W., has picked five Griffmen
on his All-Star team. He be-
lieves they're as good, if not bet
ter, than any of the many other
players in the American and Ma
tional Leagues.
Three of Twins men are in
fielders, Joe Kuhel, first base;
Buddy Lewis, third base, and
Ossie Bluege, Shortstop. Johnny
Stone is his outfielder, while one
of his pitchers is Jimmy De
Shong.
We'll sir, every man to his
opinion, and we must agree that
MesSrs. Kuhel, Lewis, Bluege,
Stone and DeShong are high
ranking players, even though all
of 'em may not make Babe

STATE LAWS
Block Rail Crossing EIimi-
nation

Washington, d. c. (AFLS)-Al-
though the government has appro-
priated $200,000,000 for the elimina-
tion OF dangerous grade crossings, es-
timated to provide employment for
$4,000 jobless workers at its peak,
work on about half the crossings will
not start until midsummer despite
seven months of preparation, Thomas
II. Macdonald, chief of the Bureau
of Public Roads, revealed in a state
ment here.
President Roosevelt has approved
$685. 100000 worth of the projects,
but detailed plans have been COM
pleted for only $9o,oo0,o0o worth Of
work, contracts awarded for but
S52,255,1 ,194, and construction actually
started on only ATS projects valued at
$38, 100000
The delay, Mr. Macdonald said, was
primarily occasioned by state laws
under which real estate owners are
permitted to charge exorbitant prices
for the rights of way required for
the new crossings and their ability
under this legal privilege to handicap
the work Of the federal government
and often compel the relocation Of a
crossing project because Of the pro-
hibitive prices demanded for prop
erty
AS a remedy for this condition, Mr.,
Macdonald urged the establishment Of
a universal requirement that, where
the public wants to acquire prop
erty, it be empowered to take posses
sion and an impartial body be ap-
pointed to decide the cost.

Women Pickets Enjoined

Coshocton, Ohio (ILNs) Striking

Indianapolis Glove Company plant.
Judge j. G. Daugherty granted a
temporary injunction against the
glove workers and miners unions, re-
straining them from picketing the
plant pending hearing on a perma-
nent injunction.
The plant has been held idle by
women glove workers, on strike be-
cause of a 20 per cent wage reduction.
They were supported by union miners.

Order Of Eagles, when he speaks here

STRAIGHT FROM
WASHINGTON

With the budding of the cherry
blossoms in Washington comes a re-
Icrudescence of hope among democratic
members of congress that President
Roosevelt will win reelection by a
wide margin.
Coming out of the mid-winter slump
with a bang has caused a revival of
confidence. Business is getting bet
ter and as prices of commodities go
up, so confidence of democratic poll
ticians likewise scars.
Another very important contribut-
ing factor to this general feeling of
confidence is that republicans by
their antics are giving aid and COM
fort to their traditional enemies. No
candidate thus far put forward by
the G. O. ?. commands the support
of all factions. Republican leaders
have announced no program that has
great appeal to the people and prob
ably will not be able to figure one
out
