SALINAS, CAL, Sept. 25.
(UP)-Salinas lettuce strik-

day telegraphed appeals to
every important labor council in
the United States, urging them
to refuse to handle shipments of
''hot" lettuce.
Meanwhile, possible renewal Of

leaders that picket groups around
each shipping plant were increaS-

Trouble in another direction was
anticipated as several hundred

Still
Holds Trade
Hopes
By FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL

With March / tentatively set
as the date on which the Wash.
ington Griffs will report at Or
lando this spring, work already
has been started at Tinker Field
for the coming of the big leaguers.
John Camel, whose influence was
largely responsible for the Griffs
going to Orlando anticipates one
of the greatest training trips in
the history of washington, or any
other ball club.
The Griffs this year will have
new headquarters. They have left
the Angebilt, which is in the
heart of Orlando's theater district,
and have moved down the street
half a mile or so to the picturesque
Fort Gatlin.
Famed for Cuisine
Famed for the excellence Of its
cuisine, this comfortable hostelry
is built near the site of Fort Cat
lin which figured in the history
of Florida under four flags.
Before the Griffs hike for Flor.
ida, Harris hopes to make one or
more trades to bolster the pitch
ing staff. He seems sold on the
possibilities of Jack Salveson. He
is prepared to give up Newsom. as
he has said before, if compensate
ing power can be gained through

Much thought is being given to
the proposition of the infield.

brought in from Chattanooga last
year, flashed a lot of ability both
in the field and at the bat Mi.

who shoots the ball between third

Mihalic vs.. Kress
It Is question whether Mihalic
will be Of greater value to the club
than Red KreSS. Now no one in
the world appreciates the worth Of
KreSS more than Bucky Harris.
But KresS is definitely over the
hill, and Mihalic definitely is
marching forward. It might be
unwise to sacrifice the advantages
of youth, even for the superior
wisdom of age as exemplified in
KresS.

he is, for the reason that Coch.

If York goes to first base, Burns
probably will be released to To-

time on the bench while Pinkey
Higgins plays third base. On the
other hand, there are rumors to
the effect that Cronin will play
third and send Higgins along for

Times Sports Editor

Times Sports Editor
Baseball fans have
been pretty well fat
tened on baseball sta
tistics during the cur
rent week. Many Of
them by now m u S t
have the blind stag
gers.
However, some complained
that they were famished for
baseball after football had
commandeered the sports
pages for the better part Of
10 weeks; and so, today, we
will hold an autopsy over the
very delectable figures having
to do with last-minute stands
in the American League games
Of 1936-desperate tan d s
which saw victory totter and
finally settle.
81 OF all the diversified dope which
charts the course Of a baseball
race, none stamps the fighting
caliber of a team more definitely
than it's ability to pull late rallies
which spell the difference between
success and failure in the tight
games which dot the schedule.
BroUns HuUe Stuff
In contrast to its finish in the
American League race, st. Louis
was the outstanding team in
Snatching victory in the dying
moments Of its contests.
A total Of IA last-inning drives
Cinched victory for the Browns
down through the hectic (for
them) 1886 season, whereas they
dropped but nine games in similar
stages of their play.
This gave them an average Of
500 in that department of play, |
which proves that Rogers Hornsby
at least had his team fortified
with plenty of moXie when the
clock was ticking off the minutes
remaining to play.
Philadelphia suffered most by
these vicious eleventh-hour as
saults of the Browns, dropping !
four to st. Louis, while Boston,
New York, Cleveland and Detroit
were thus victimized by Hornsby's
hands on two occasions each.
Washington and Chicago were
overcome at the last minute by
the Browns, once each.
Not So Bad
Chicago trails st. Louis in such
finales with a percentage of .533,
with Washington, st. Louis, De-
troit and Philadelphia each drop
ping pair to the White Sox either
in the eighth inning when at home
or in the ninth when meeting |
them at Comiskey Park.
Boston was next with an average
Of .522 and washington, Detroit
and New York all had 500 marks
in Garrison finishes. Detroit had
a record of IL and IL wins and
losses in last innings. Washing
tons record is 9 and 9 and New
York's and Z.
Philadelphia dropped II out
of 10 going into the stretch and
Cleveland eight out Of IL.
In the table of eighth and
ninth inning successes and failures
produced below, an ancient base
ball adage that team which can't
hold it's leads lacks a vital baseball
essential seems to be sustained
for the champion Yankees and
third place White Sox held their
leads in all but seven games,
wherein the last inning decided
the issue.

and weak hearts in the American

Cliff Olsen Wins
Rough Bout

There was near riot last night
at Joe Turner's Arena when Cliff
Olsen, one of three claimants to
world heavyweight championship,
defeated Joe Cox, the Kansas City
cyclone, before a crowd Of $500.
The near riot came when a
spectator hurled a lighted cigar
into the ring at Cox and Cox used
the stub to rub into the eyes OF
his mat opponent. A dozen police,
more or less, were required to
handle the situation which arose.
Olsen knocked the burly Kansan
to the mat after 80 minutes of in.
the.ring and out-of-the-ring rass-
ling.
In other bouts, Henry Piers
tossed Jimmy Coffield in 20 Sec
