An extraordinary Indian was

biography which opened yesterday
at the Metropolitan does not bear an
easily recognized resemblance to a
dozen other Western pictures. For
those who like Westerns, that will
be fine, for Paramount spared no
effort to make this one a sort of
super-affair worthy of great chief
Not all of Paramount's horses and

Hollywood, however, can put the
story together to please those who
find Indian drama worn too thin.

ghostly arrow in the back, this de-

qualification to the statement that
Chief Thunder Cloud is Geronimo.
Next to the chief, acting honors

Hagen appeared a success for the
day at least when he led McSpadan

holes. In the afternoon he gave
away one hole, the 18th, however,
by acknowledging his club brushed
McSpaden's ball in the rough, ac-
cidentally. Then he fiddled around
on the 18th green for three puts.

The old master tossed in birdie
on the 18th as his last gallant try,

Guldahl, who was four under par

Nat Owner Says Big

BY EDDIE GILMORE,

Clark Griffith. baSeball's unofficial

to dodge the draft issue today-he
spoke up and said the national pas
time was ready to do its part for
national defense
Baseball" said the man who Is
credited with encouraging such
greats of the game as Christy
Matthewson and George Sisler to
don khaki in the World War, will
do what the country wants. We're
all ready. Why, by sin, at my age
I'm ready, too, if they want me-"
A blanket draft of men in the 81
to 30 age group would just about
deplete the ranks of today's big
leagues. if all of them were taken.
This, of course, is improbable. but
some of the games outstanding per-
formers undoubtedly may go into
uniform If the conscription bill is
enacted.
Saved Game in Last War.
Back in the World War Griffith
virtually saved the major and minor
leagues from shutting down. He did
it by a long talk with Secretary of
War Baker. but getting the jump
on the draft helped.
Under the direction Of Army SER
geantS all of the big league teams
abandoned morning practice for
drills and then put on public drills
before every game.
They used bats instead OF guns
said Griffith, but let me tell you
they were in shape and ready and
really had a four-month start on
the fellows who hadn't been to
camp"
When the work-or-fight order
came down in July. 1918, the Old
Fox explained. he reminded Baker
that the ball players had been drill
ing for four months, and asked him
to wait until September for the
players.
Baker said he realized the first
months in camp were spent in con-
ditioning and drilling and agreed to
the suggestion.
But" said Griffith, If the Secre-
tary had said No we'd have called
off that afternoons game and done
whatever was wanted. That's the
way we are this time. If they want
us tomorrow, we're ready and I hope
they find a spot for me-"
Griffith said he recognized the fact
that conscription probably would not
interfere with the 1910 baseball sea-
son, but might change some plans
for spring training and the regular
1941 season.
Barring exemptions other than for
age, the National League would have

High Yank Spirit
Seen in 10 Wins
In Last II TiIts
Gomeness in Pinches
Tells in Defeat of
Fighting Browns
By JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Associated Press Sports Writer.
There is something catching about
the New York Yankees spirit.
They've already captured the fans
imagination with magnificent drive
that has bagged 10 victories in their
last IL games. and they're liable to
catch the Cleveland Indians and the
Detroit Tigers if the latter clubs
don't watch out.
In an entire stand against the
four clubs in the Western division
the only game the Yankees dropped
was 10 squeeze out to the Chi
cago White Sox. They polished off
the st. Louis Browns, 1913 and 6-5,
in double-header yesterday to
show once more why they've been
world champions four years and
maybe for a fifth.
They reeled off 10 runs in one
merry-go-round inning to over
whelm the groggy Browns in the
first game. and in the second they
rallied three times to emerge tri-
umphant in the 18th.
With two out and two on in the
ninch, Joe Di Maggie, who had been
on the bench with a charley horse,
went to the plate and smacked El-
den Auker's first pitch for his 28th
homer to tie the score.
Crosetti'S Bunt Decides.
George McQuinn put the Browns
back in front with a home run in
tho 11fh h11f
deadlocked the count on Charley
Keller's double and Buddy Rosar's
single. Finally, in the 18th, with
two out and the bases loaded. Frank
CroSetti caught the Brownies nap
ping with perfect bunt down the
third-baSe line and squeezed the
winning run home.
The victory reduced the Idle In
dianS' margin over them TO Al
games.
1t didn't get them any closer to
second place. however. because the
Tigers were busy in their own behalf,
moving down Washington in a
double header.
In the only other American
League game, the Boston Red Sox
were handed 4-3 decision by
Johnny Rigney of Chicagos White
Sox, who walked Joe Cronin with
the bases loaded in the ninth.
