they had to pay off the entire five million they would fold at once.
 But the government has winked off about four of every five dollars it has invested there, justifying the experiment on several grounds. First, it is called national defense job. If the Japanese should move in on us, the argument goes, Alas ka would starve to death unless it had some local source of food. Matanuska, strategists explain, is a starter. Second, it demonstrates farming possibilities which may in time prove an outlet for more destitute populations.

has shown tremendous sped both
on the base paths and in covering
the garden.
In 1881, 1892 and 1888 Ben led
the American League in stolen
bases, pilfering 1875 sacks in those
seasons. He is an acrediated foot
ball and baseball referee in the
Southern Conference, the latter
requiring particular sped.
Meanwhile, speculation will I'M
doubtedly be rife as to what PreSi-
dent Harridge's reaction will be to-
ward the defiant Griffith, in view
of Bills recent belittling of the
National League in general and
the Brooklyn ball club in particu-
lar, for staging what he termed
"Side shows" in order to get fans
into the ball park.
Mr.. Harridges was quoted as
taking SlapS at Brooklyn'S expert
ment with the canary ball,
claimed by its sponsors to have
greater visibility than the white
horsehide and therefore likely to
reduce the number of beaningS.
Unveiled reference was also
made to a foot race recently held
at the Dodgers park and also the
growing tendency in the National
League toward night baseball.

Griff Defies A. l.. Prexy

Griff, probably the best snow
man in the American League, has
ever had a tendency toward the
bizarre phases of baseball. He has
had no less than half-dozen SO,
called baseball clowns in mis- en-
ploy, dating from 1912, when he
found Germany Schaefer, a mem
Der of the Washington household.
Germany and Nick Altrock were
the original Washington clown
team, antedating even the more re
cent duo of Altrock and Schacht
Other. ScreWballS have found a
haven under the Griffith roof
There was Carl Sawyer, who often
ran the bases braying like don
key and waving his cap behind
him as tail.
Pitchers Joe Engel and Jim
Shaw, both came under the head
of eccentric ball players, and the
last of the menagerje was the
pink-whiskered Elder Allen Ben
son, who joined Washington Out
of Albany, which had obtained
him from touring House of Da
vid team.
Griff once advertised the Eide

For the winner it means he will
be earning 81 for every foot of
ground he covers and to the loser
it means 66 and tWo-thirds cents
for each foot he steps. The race
is to start back of second base
and end at home plate.
Whether Chapman will accept,
remains to be seen, but if he
thinks well of the proposition, the
foot-race will be staged at the
stadium between the two games OF

national holiday, September S.
Figuring that Chapman would
have nothing to lose. except pos
sibly the race, Griff was OF the
opinion today that the erStwhile
Yankee and Washington outtield-
er would accept the challenge. It
goes without saying that Case will
be available for the race. he being
far younger and to the way OF
thinking of the majority of his
teammates probably a much faster

BEATING HERO
Crowd 'Rushes' Cliff
After BoesCh Loses
BY BOB ADDIE

Today's sermon is on strange
babies I have known and why do
they have to grow up to be wres-
ting fans. The paying citizens Of
Mr.. Joe Turner's weekly group
were undecided most of last eve
ming at the Arena as to whether
they should cheer or jeer.
The jeers eventually prevailed
when Cliff Olson pinned Paul
Bosch in the main bout and the
winner was in danger of being
separated from one of his swollen
ears. Our fans don't like Olson.
and they show their displeasure
by running to the apron of the
ring and Juggling at Cliffs legs
while he is belaboring a foe.
SAME ROUTINE
The routine seldom varies, and
the fact that Olson's opponent was
Bosch put a little more "umph"
into the hecklerS' tasks because
Paul is one of the current heroes.
Bosch was doing all right and
was making Olson bounce like a
golf ball on cement when Cliff
whirled off the ropes and flat
tened Paul with body press.
CHRIS victory was received with
a storm OF booS and several gentle
men tried to break through the
protecting huddle of police and
take a slap at Olson. But nobody
got hurt and everybody was happy.

The only other match of the
evening was that between Emil

not even Grove, himself, but he
was hoping for the best.
Nor could the Red Sox trainer,
Win Green tell, but he shook his
head as though he doubted Grove
would be any good for the rest
of this year at least-and maybe
forever.
Young Joe Cronin, manager of
the Red Sox, wore a long face.
If there we're any power on earth
that could bring Groves arm back
to life, certainly the millions OF
Owner Tom Yawkey would employ
the skill that would restore Grove
to pitching normally.

fetal, has been able to give mel
ther Owner Yawkey, Cronin nor
Grove any assurance that he can
assist ii prolonging the pitching
life of Lefty Grove.
When his arm first went dead,
six weeks ago, there was no pulse
under the arm pit, at the elbow
or at the wrist. 1t was as though
an artificial member had been at
tached to his shoulder.
Finally Grove reported 20 the
club in Cleveland on the last
Western trip. and warmed up for
several afternoons, telling lAan'
ager Cronin he was beginning to
feel all right again and gaining
control of the ball.
In Detroit Grove started a game
but along about the sixth or sew
enth inning complained that he
was getting tired Both he and
his manager attributed the con

been out of the game nearly a
month.
But yesterday, in Philadelphia

first afflicted, he complained thai
the arm had gone" again.
II just can't tell where I'm
throwing it," he told Cronin.
There was no change in his con
dition today, but Lefty was to bt
at the park, hoping the sun might
help bring back to life the ole
arm that has thrilled a milllor
fans in its time.
