.RIST OF THE GRIFFS
By FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL

BY FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL
If the Griffs had been able to
beat the Philadelphia Athletics
this spring, they wouldn't be in
seventh place. They might well
be in third place, for they're only
one and one-half games behind the
Cleveland Indians. The TribeSmen
are rating off the Yankee pace as
the major league clubs whirl past
the first milestone of the pennant
race.
But the Griffs couldn't beat the
Athletics, who hammered them
down in four out of five games
early in the season and who
played the smartest, mos
aggressive baseball the American
League has seen this year. For a
while, the Mackmen set the pace
while all the world wondered. The
name of Connie Mack rang over
the air waves and greeted the eye
in the headlines.
The Athletics were just about
the toast of the nation and the
toast of baseball's sentimentalistS.
Would they do it for Connie?
Ahead of Griffs
It didn't seem possible, but this
wide land of ours was cheering and
hoping. The Athletics are sixth
today as the first post is passed by
the Straining field, but they're still
ahead of the Griffs. If you look
at the standings, you'll see that
the edge is four games on the los
ing side of the standing of the
clubs.
A trick in mathematics places
the lead of the Athletics at two
games. Winning both games the
Griffs can catch up with the Mack.
men, but you can see for yourself
what losing four out of the first
five games with the Athletics has
meant.
Bucky Harris intends to give the
Athletics both barrels. He will
pitch Prof. Monte Weaver, who has
allowed IA earned runs in 81 in
ningS, or Whereabouts; and Carl
Fischer, the recently acquired
southpaw, who has allowed four
earned runs in 20 % innings.
Caster Pitches
The probabilities are that Con.
ME Mack will assign George Caster,
who has defeated the Griffs twice,
and AL Williams, who has per-
formed similar service. Williams
lost the only game to the Griffs
that Philadelphia allowed the
locals.
With both teams firing their best
pitchers there should be nothing
lacking to make a great day for
the fans. The first game will be
called at 1880 o'clock.
1t is strictly a matter between
club owner and player, but Ben
Chapman most emphatically is
not in condition to play center
field. He was unable to catch a
fly by Eric McNair and the ball
rolled in for a double.
Chappie belted two safe hits

Sington To Gel
Sports Trophy

Fred Sington, young outfielder
of the Griffmen, will be honored
between today's double-header be-
tween the Griffs and Philadel-
phia AS.
He will be presented with the
Sporting News Trophy emblematic
of his selection as the most valu-
able player in the Southern League
in 1886.
Speaker Of the House Bankhead
and Vice President Garner will do
the honors at home plate. Sing
ton hit 1884 with Chattanooga
last year.

} which proved conclusively that
his eyes are all right.
AL Simmons hit two blows, a line
drive to left for a single, and a
double. Simmons batted .285 in
the series with the Red Sox, and
really showed signs of going some
where with the stick.
Pete Appleton went wild in the
right manner. He ripped a triple
and three singles to drive in six
runs and hold a field day for him.
self. Until today, Pete has been
going around talking to himself,
and saying nothing to which he
really cared to listen.
Did those Griffs yowl and howl
in the fifth when Brick Owens
called Kuhel's smash, foul. Well,
it was close, one way or the other,
but somehow or other, Owens al
ways has to hand down a decision
on the close plays.
Denials to the contrary notWith-
standing, the Griffs tried to make
trade in Boston, and failed. It
is customary to. deny all such eff
forts when they fall through,
which is all right if denials have
to be made. But the Red Sox
players were just as jittery as the
Griff players. They all knew a
trade was in the wind.
Speaking of umpires, Harry
Geisel will be back in harness to-
morrow or the next day. He was
injured in New York not long ago.
