SPORTS. H GIVES FIRST BASEMAN TEN DAYS TO REPORT Declares He Will Cut Terms Offered Player After March 13—Special Instructions Are Given to Lewis. BY DENMAN AMPA, F1 T member of the 1920 array outside the ered himseli of an ultimatum calcula take notice. Tt was to the cffect that THOMPSON. March 4.—With the time fast approaching for those of the Nationals who are accounted regulars to hit the trail for the south, and with no word of any nature from Joe Judge, the only fold, President Griffith today deliv- ted to make J. Ignatius sit up and if Jndge does not accept the terms held out to him and report here March 13 with the others, the offer now available will be withdrawn, leaving getting into line at a greatly reduced other than base ball for a living. It would seem that Griffith has been more than fair with Judge r ardm:." the question of salary. Although the Boss of the Nationals makes it a ruie er to di < for publication finan- arrangements with his plaver: Believing that fans are interested in | wh ath rccomplish on the rather than the size of the en- spes they draw i-monthly, it | < been gencrous | is known that Griff hz in hi cs with Judge in respect | 1o salary.

Got Honus Last Yea At the close of the campaign he wa £iven a bonus of rather liberal pro portions in recognition of his good work, and when he bewailed the fac that he was bound for another sea- | son at a salary he considered inade- quate, In view of the fine record hel made’ with the stick. Griff volun- teered to tear up the agreement. This he did. and in the contract sent to adge this year were inserted figures lling for a very sizable boost over the total of his contract salary and bonus combined in 1920. The raise failed to jibe with the ideas of his worth entertained by Judge, who. imbued with the propa- zanda spread in the New York news- papers, demanded a salary in the five figure e and suggested to Griff that if the Washington club could not afford to meet his demands he should be traded to some team that could and would pay him what he considers himself to be worth. Griff countered by informing Joe that he was altogether unimpressed by his argument; that in releasing the player from an’ agreement he could have made him fulfill, and in giving him a new contract calling for a gen- erous increase he had been more than liberal. Now he goes even farther. “Judge will sign at the terms offer- | ed and report here for work March 13 or all negotiations will be ended.” Griff_asserted today. “He got more money last season than the Yankees ever paid a first baseman and the ary he now is demanding is prep terous. If he doesn't get in line at “the time specified the present offer to him will be withdrawn, and if he makes up_his mind later that he wants to play, he will have to accept a sum considerably less than that now ailable for him. Of one thing Judge n rest assured, he never will play; Twenty-five were to leave in to- with the New York team nor any[Right's ‘party.

Grift is particularly anxious that Duffy Lewis should be in shape to travel at top speed from the opening davs of the season, and has giverr hinmspecial instructions regarding the training pro- gram he is to follow at Hot Springs with that end in view. Lewis alwave been a slow starter. His record with both the Red Sox and Yankees in the past shows that for the first two or three weeks he never has been abie to hit for much more than the size of his hat. As he usually is placed in one of the clean-up positions because of his penchant for producing pelts when they are productive his tardiness in getting Tis batting optics properly focussed has Tampered his teams in getting off to a Eood start—something all base ball bosses prize highly. Lewis sent word that he had no uniform, and was told o mot let that worry him. but to get his arm, his legs and his wind in good shape. “If Duffy does that at Hot Springs we'll see that he gets plenty of bat- ting practice when he arrives here” iff said today. “Lewis will zot ny mem- i Ber of t to step out cutset. i batting ttle dim in spite of the intensi ce mapped out for him. Bing Mil- may start the season in left field Miller will be with us, all right. Fing is one of those early birds, 4t his best in the spring, and we are going to take advantage of this fact by hav- ing him in either left or right field when the curtain goes up. You prob- ably noticed that Miller did most of Yis hittin - last year early in the cam- paign. There a reason for that. The Southern Association is a touzh Jeague for a ball plaver to work in. The hot weather prevailing in these towns saps the strength ane ambition of players, and any one who can play the string out and wind up with an average of .322 for 151 games, as Mil- Jer did. should be able to hit in any league.

A play came up in a minor league B last summer that brought up the point as to whether the intent of a coucher must be given considera- tion With two out and runners on second and third, with the ball in the pitcher's possession while standing on the rubber, the coacher at third dashed for the plate yelling, “Home,” “Home” His intent was to draw a throw from the pitcher. The pitcher stepped off the rubber, intending, per- h to throw the ball home, but it was the coacher running, The umpire declared runner on third out because of ct of the coacher. He held that if the coacher attempts to draw a throw because of his actions, the runner on third is out, whether or not a play is made. Umpire Was in the Wrong. The umpire was wrong in ruling the runner on third was out because of the coacher's dashing toward the plate. though no play was made. The rule statex he must draw the throw to the home base for the runner to be declared out. If such a play came up in a game in which [ was the umpire I would suspend play and send the coacher to the bench or the clubhouse. Just received car- load 72 cubic inch Ind| Motorcycles.
