SPORTS. : .Walsh to “BIG ED” TO OFFICIATE FOR GRIFFS AND BRAVES Former Star Hurler Will Make Debut as Arbiter in Spring Exhibitions—Roger Peckinpaugh Signs After Personal Interview With Boss. CONGRESS HEIGHTS YANKEES, CHAMPION BASKETERS, Wfld WILL . DEFEND DISTRICT INDEPENDENT BASKET BALL CHAMPIONSHI® TONIGHT BY DENMAN THOMPSON. A D "WALSH, former star hurler of the Chicago White Sox and gen- erally regarded as the greatest exponent of the now all-but-passe spit ball the game ever produced, who this season will make his debut as an umpire in the American League, is to break in with the Griff- men. He has been assignead to represent the Johnson circuit in the inter- league exhibition battles between the Nationals and Boston Braves, and three weeks of guessing at Tampa, northward to fit him for the regula; Just what Walsh's caliber as an but those familiar with his personal So far as knowledge of the game is concerned few are better qualified for the thankless task he is undertaking. Walsh knows all the ins and outs of base ball, and his value as an arbiter should be enhanced by the fact that, having been a toiler in the ranks himself, he can appreciate the viewpoint of the player. Aside from his wonderful effective- ness in the business of deceiving rival batsmen, Walsh was one of the greatest “iron men” the diamon: ever produced. For y mainstay of Comiskey's south siders, and in addition to hurling three or four games a week as a regular thing, he was the champion relief pitcher of all time. At the slightest sign of wabbling on the part of any of the other Sox pitchers Walsh would grab his glove and trek for the bull pen, and it seemingly made no differepce whether he had worked the day before or was being de- pended upon for duty on the morrow, he was on the job at all stages. In the mattéer of innings pitched Walsh topped the circuit for seve seasons, and the wonder of it is that he maintained his effectiveness as Jong as he did, especially considering 1he terrible strain on the arm his pet methad of delivery entail: Walsh is assured of a cordial wel- come on his debut in_the ranks of arbiters. Players and fans alike will be pulling for Big Ed to make good. Peck Signs Contract. The advantages of personal confact in matters of business was strikingly ! illustrated yesterday eveping when XRoger Peckinpaugh paid a flying vis- it to.the capital and after a short parley with Clark Griffith affxed his signature to a document binding; him v service for the season witn the ationals. The tedious process of ne- gotiations by mail having proved un- satisfactory to employer and enploye, Peck was directed to come on for a conference. He blew in yesterday from his home in Cleveland, had a heart-to-heart confab h the boss and took an early train back to straighten up his affairs preparatory to reporting at Tampa with the main squad, which starts work March 13. Peck expressed himself eminently satisfied with the terms offered him. He raid he was pleased to have been trans- ferred to Washington and intimated he might establish his home here, as Mrs, Peckingpaugh always has been im- pressed with the advaniages of the capital as a residential city. The former star shortstop and captain of the Yankees paid high tribute to Clyde Milan's base Mall knowledge and voiced the beligf Zeb would prove his value as a, leader in im- pressive fashion. He refrained from claiming a pennant fgr the Nationals, but did venture the apinion that they would be in the thigk of the scram- Dble ail the way. The signing of Peck leaves only Judge of the infielgi regulars .to be lined up, although "Donie Bush, who is slated for utility roles, also mains outside the' fold. It looks a it nothing short of; a board of media tion can adjust the differences be- tiween Griffith anil Judge. In this case persopal comtact has availed nothing. The firsk baseman has had any number of coifabs with his boss and they Seem mo nearer an agree- ment now than when the dickering started. They will reach a mutually acceptable basis eventually, however. Judge needs his job—and Griff needs Judge. Picinich May Win Debate. The somewhaz unexpected difficulty over terms GrMr is having with Ri ardo Torres meay result to the finan cial advantage of another of Wash ington's backstopping _brigade—Val Picinich. Torres has been counted on to work with Danny Noone, the Jocal sandlot product, in helping the Tookie hurlers limber up at Tampa, starting next, Monday. If Torres re- mains in Cuba it probably will be necessary to assign Picinich for the early work, and Val also is still dick- ering over his contract. There is a difference between Picinich and his Doss of only $300, or was at last ac- counts, and it should be a fairly easy ‘matter to patch this up. Picinich al- ready is in Florida, having gone to Miami a week ago for some golf and bathing. He may get a wire from Washington the latter part of this cek reading something like this: ). K.

FOR TWO VETS, IS RUMOR EW YORK, February 22—A screen of diamond dust continued to- day to secrete the New York Nationals’ reasons for placing two of their best hurlers, Jesse Barnes and Phil Douglas, on the 'market. Newest rumors circulated by the dopsters placed the name of Ed Roush, slugging outfielder of the Cincinnati club, in a proposed deal with the Giants, but the Giant officials remained silent and seli-contained as a little-neck clam. ©One of them opened his mouth long enough to say “Wednesday,” and this was interpreted as meaning _that some definite announcement of the deal that would take Barnes and Douglas elsewhere and bring some other star or stars from elsewhere to New York would be made today. Walter Kopf, vouthful third base- man, a brother of the more famous Larry, has joined the Giants. He was a star on the Dartmouth team. Dutch Ruether, superbatter, has signed his 1922 contract with the Brooklyn club. It had been reported that Dutch was longing for the rich air of Cincinnati and environs.
