Giants, Midgets
In Golf Feud at
Indian Spring"
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Golf'S reached the boiling polnC
at Indian Spring Country Club.
And the cause is the dispute be-
tween the Giants and Midgets,
who are again ready to tear into
each other with mashies, niblickS,
etc.
DR.. A. Thomas Utz. c1lieftain Of
the Midgets, has posted a chal-
lenge that the Giants can hardly
leave unanswered.
Last year, so foursomeS took
part, the Giants winning by the
narrow margin of 11a points. DR..
Utz' bold def reads as follows:
1--WE, the LITTLE MEN, do
now challenge the BIG MEN for
a return match at an early date;
same stakes, rules, etc., to apply
to match. However, wishing to
keep the match on q dignified
plane, we insist there be an
honest scOrekeeper appointed in
order that we may not (again)
be robbed. Also, that there be
no B1II1ngSgaCe or vulgar person"
alities INDUCED in by this
GANG of uncouth, obese, muscle
bound fat men, led by that
Acknowledgement n, WAC
NER."
The Wagner referred to is E.
B. Wagner, leader of the Giants.
Any member not taller than
five feet, six inches and weigh
ing no more than $50 pounds is
eligible for the Little Men. Like
wise, any string bean member not
weighing more than $50 pounds
must cast his lot with the Little
Men. Ali others must play with
the Giants.
The affair, for which a date
remains to be set. is climaxed
with a crab and beer feast, the
losers standing the expense.

Kuhel broke into big league
baseball ir. 1880, after having
starred fof the Kansas City Blues
of the American Association in
1929 with a batting average Of .372
and record of 26 triples.
He had his work cut out for
him at the start as the veteran
Joe Judge was the Griff firs t
sacker. And Judge was plenty good
even at that late period Of his
career.
Kuhel finally supplanted Judge
and in 1888 had his best season,
driving over 108 runs and hitting
we'll above 800. A bad leg has
handicapped him in recent cam
paign's, but this year he's playing
a bang-up game again.
The Washington times., 1936-06-25

Detroit is counting the days
now until Hank Greenberg, first
sacker, gets into the game. Ac.
cording to dispatches from the
Motor City. Greenberg will have
the cast taken from his left wrist
in a short while now and will be
ready to resume play.
Steve O'Neill is hoping to guide
his men to a renaissance Of fight.
ing spirit and alert baseball which
will send them zooming to high
places. Up to date the utter In.
difference of some of his men is
maddening.
CaScarella to Pitch
While those men are hoping and
figuring on ways and means of
passing the Griffs in this mad
cap scramble for third place,
Bucky Harris rather relishes his
position as the pursued man OF
the league.
"Just as long as they're chas-
ing me, I'm satisfied. When
they pass me 1 may start
grouching a Bit" said Harris
this morning.
Joe Cascarella, who pitched
brilliantly as a relief hurler, and
also pitched well enough to win
in his first start in Cleveland
probably will start today. Pau.
Andrews or Tommy Thomas loom
as the Brownie choices.
Victory today will establish the
Griffs nicely for this trip. 1t viii
shoot them three games over the
500 notch with the White So1
and the Philadelphia Athletics
coming in order before the
Yankees wheel into Washington
for the independence Day double
header. Harris is confident that
the club will arrive home with
record Of better than even for thu
trip.
One Of the pleasing aspects O.
the trip at this time is the Ger
tain recovery Of Buddy Lewis from
the batting slump that Just abou
drove him to distraction. The kic
has made three hits in these las
| two games, and is cracking dow
on the ball the way he did earl!
in the season.
Pitchers Bear Down
The real test Of any hitter |
on the second trip around tn
circuit. In the beginning the pitch
ers don't know him, and are a
apt to pitch to his power as t.
his weakness. But when the wor'
is passed that he can't hit thi
ball or that ball. the control artist
go to work with a will.
It will be interesting. for ir
stance, to see Jake Powell whel
he comes to Washington. Unles
all signs fail, Powell is a Sucke
for a drifting curve and a chang
of pace. He was stopped cold b
the Red Sox pitchers who waste'
fast ball after fast ball and the
threw up the slow stuff for Pow
ellis inspection. knowing his veal
ness as the Griffs certainly Shoul
know it, the experimenting will b
interesting to observe.
OSsie B!uege had one Of hi

with all his certain skill at Secon

GRIFFMEN
GRIST
By FRANK BUCK" o,NEML

By FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 25.-Joe
Dimaggio, who will play his first
games of the season in Washing
ton when the New York Yankees
tackle the Griffs on July 4 in b
double-header, equalled one Of
baseball's all time marks at Chi
cago yesterday. The young Ital-
ian hit two home runs in the
fifth inning, and by these wallopS,
drove in five runs for his team.
Driving in five runs in a single
frame leaves Dimaggio short of Ed
Cartwright's mark, established in
1890 when that famous old leather
FOUNDER was a member Of the st.
Louis Browns. Fred Merkle in
1911, as member Of the New
York Yankees drove in six runs in
one inning.
Making two home runs in one
frame, Dimaggio stepped into the
ranks of some great hitters.
Charley Jones, of the Boston Ma
tional League team Of 1880 hit two
homers in one frame: Ed Cart
wright of the Browns, Bobby Lowe
Of Boston, Jake Stencil Of the
Pirates, Ken Williams Of the
Browns, Hack Wilson of the Cubs
and Hank Lieber Of the Giants
did this.
Supporting these two homers in
one inning, Dimaggio hit two
doubles, giving him a total of IL
bases in one game. Even this
great record is short of the mark
set by Lou Gehrig, Bobby Lowe
and Ed Delahanty, whose three
homers in one game gave them a
mark of IL bases. But 1t was
pretty good, and Joe is not COM
planning too much.
George Sisler, with whom your
agent broadcast part of the action
of yesterdays game at Sports
mans Field, paid a glowing tribute
to Ben Chapman. Sisler credited
Chapman with winning the open
ing game of the tilt by completely
upsetting the defense of the
Browns with his base running.
"They can't set their defense
for Chapman" SiSler said over
the micrOphOne.
Some one paraphrased that de.
lightful old lyric:
"FlOw gently, sweet Alton"
"BlOw gently, Buck NewSOm,"
wrote the cynic In a note to your
agent.
The Browns are mere puppets
in the hands Of the Griffs. After
trailing for four innings the GriffS
broke loose and put together halt a
dozen runs on nine hits off Tetje
and Chief Hogsett.
In the opening game Johnny
Stone got three hits and KreSS
got one. It was reversed yester-
day, with Stone getting one blow
and KreSS accounting for three.
The room" keeps sizzling hot.
Newsom pelted a single over
second base and ran down to
first base doffing his cap to the
fans. Buck rather fancieS him
self as a bunter. He struck out
missing a third attempt at drop
ping one along the lines.
|
Chapman struck out with the
bases loaded in the ninth inning
and hasn't forgiven himself as
this edition Of The Times rolls
off the presses.
The glamorous June O'Day.
wife Of Lefty Gomez Of the
Yankees, is starring here in mo,
No, Nanette" at the Municipal
Opera.
Sammy West made two great
catches, one on Chapman and
one on Stone to give an 1ndt-
vidual touch to the game.
Lewis stole second base in the
fourth inning, Chapman helping
by making a false break for the
plate from third.
