GRlST OF THE GRIFFS
By FRANK BUCK" o'NEILL

The smartest pitching in yes
terday's defeat of the Platinum
Boys was done by Jack Russell.
Jack struck out Jimmy Foxx on
a twister that broke inside and
down from the big boys swing,
In the eighth inning Jack stopped
Bing Miller with a def delivery
that completely fooled the pinch
hitter.
Russell'S pitching was by no
means as bad as the score would
indicate. It was not a master
piece, tits true, but the tall Texan
never stopped throwing every
thing he had into the battle.
Somehow or other everyone felt
pretty good because Russell won
the game.
Jake Powell burst out in
hitting rash. He got three sin
giles and a triple and figured
prominently in the victory of the
GriffS.
The Smartest hit Of the day
was that double to right by Eric
McNair. He shuffled back in the
box, slowed down his swing and
hit the ball over Kuhel'S head
as accurately as if he had thrown
the ball. It was perfect hitting
behind the runner.
Jack Russell made a brilliant
save on a wild throw by Travis
in the first inning. With Cooke
on first, Cramer grounded to
Kuhel, who threw out Cooke at
second. Travis whipped a return
throw which was headed for the
bleachers when Russell dove for
the ball and caught it.
Dusty Cooke hit the ball over.

ficiency and whether he is subject to
epilepsy, or other abnormality of psyche
pathic nature. 1t is now possible to de-
termine this in six-month-old babies.
There are also tests that will discover
whether the baby is handicapped by hemo-
philia. tuberculosis. syphilis and other
physical defects - so it would be wise to
supplement the clinical examinations with
the Wassermann test for syphilis, the tuber-
culine test for tuberculosis and X-ray ex-
animation for the presence of ricketts, or
possible persistent thymus gland.
II you can get the answers to these ques-
tons you have eliminated the greatest
hazards in child adoption, except the pos
sible crossing of races, for which there is as
yet no reliable test.
But there is another point, perhaps even
more important, and that is the character of
the home and the foster parents. They
should be in good physical condition. and
of sufficient intelligence to insure the child
of proper physical care. wise training and
reasonable degree of economic security. The
emotionally unstable and those of inferior
intelligence should be excluded from the re-
sponsibility of rearing children.
There is one more point. The age of the
parents should be considered. It is perfectly
logical for couple of forty years of age
to adopt third or fourth child. but quite
unwise for couple of this age to take the
first, and probably what would be an only,
child into the home.
And there is another very important point.
Children should never be given in adoption
with the idea Of pulling together home
that is starting to disinteuate. It is
hard enough for a child born to the
parents to keep such home intact.
An adopted one cannot do 50.
An adopted child, from the be-
ginning, should have all of the avail
able information about his past
which his years will permit him to
understand. Child adoption is one
of the loveliest experiences in life,
but it should be undertaken only
after serious consideration.
