McGraw Lauds Wisdom of Griffmen : Georgetown Nine Winner in Close Contest HILLTOPPERS SCORE OVER TERMS ACQUIRING OF VET *“'PITCHERS A SMART MOVE Giants® Pilot Stresses Huge Advantage to a Team of Always Having Available for the Mound Work- men Who Understand Their Business. BY JOHN J. McGRAW Manager, Now York Gisnts EMPHIS, Tenn, club as we travel together M April 4—The more, I obserye the Washington the more I am convinced that Clark Griffith and Bucky Harris wérked out a very definite and intelli- geqt, plan in bolstering up the Senators with veteran pitchers gather than depending on unknown youngsters. st 'With.good, steady pitching Washington is pretty apt to repeat. There is no doubt about the club having intelligent pitching. a man who doesn't- know all the tricks there are to know there is hardly Of the whole staff about his job. Some of them may have lost a little of their natural stuff, but they know how to use what they've got. It is an interesting experiment to any base ball man. The fans prob- ably do not realize that Harris has half a dozen pitchers all over 30 years. Three of them are over 35. I may but they run about like this: Martina, 36; Stanley Coveleskie, 34 31. Then there is A At some time each of these men has been a star. Some are vet stars. So, vouy see, Harrls can start & ball game any time, knowing that his pitchers understand their business. That means & whole lot to & ball club The rest of the Washington club is very fast. Both the infield and the eutfield are wonderful in defense. There were never many clubs thet could make double plays as often as the Senators. The only thing left for Harris to bother about is hitting. Out- side of the Yunks, I don’t know of any American League club that can out- hit Washington, especiglly in the pinches. Grifiith tells me that Harris, during his first years with the club, hit safely 52 times after two men were out and & run was needed to either tie or win a game. That's quite = record. Peckingpaugh also is noted &s a hard hitter in the pinches. It strikes me that Goslin is @ much-im- proved ball player this year. He will be even more valuable to the elub. The Giants also have bean going mood this Spring. The additlon of Frank Walker to the outfield and Harley and Devine to the cetching staft has strengthened us considera- i We also havé Jaek Scott and it Greenfleld to help the pitchers 1 think Greenfield has & great future. May Meet Again In Fall. So, with both clubs going as they are now it would not surprise me a bit to see them playing ancther regu- Jer world serles In the Full The Spring series hasn't hurt the team at all. The feeling bas been so keen that both clubs are on for the regular season. he weuther in Florida this Spring bas been perfeet for training.

T ma- y real the the the the players have taken a hand in the Florida | real estate boom and are now land- owners. Some of them have made con- siderable money.

Base bsll is bringing North this Spring the largest number of athletic landowners ever known. Many of the kids have bought on time and are pay- ing for Florida land out of their month- 1y pay checks, In every exhibition game real estate arguments wax hot.

Wires were gent a half a dozen of the lead- ing featherweights of this section and Lew Mayrs picked to be Ahearn’s op- ponent in the 'main bout of tomor- row's card.

Bid., April ¢.—Dominating the issue over every jump of the seven-furlong route, Harry Payne Whitney's Peter Pan colt, Arcady, sccounted for the Capital Handicap, the outstanding feature of this afternoon’s race pro- gram. Beaten off a length at the finish was J. F. Richardson's Bruns, while stll another farther back was the rank outsider, Balboa. The others, although close up during the early stages, naver were serjous contend- ers. \ The Capital, which wi fashioned expressly for 3-year-old; tracted a fleld of but seven, with the Whitney pair, Arcady and Sandhurst, the rul- ing prohibitive odds-on favorites. With the rise of the barrier Ivan Parke, America’s leading winning jockey, who had the mount on Arcady, rushed the Whitney star into a shert lead going down the backstretch, with Sandhurst the closest” in at- tendance. As the fleld swung into the home- stretch Parke permitted Arcady to cut out his own race and the son of Peter Pan from then on WRA never fully extended. Bandburpst tired In trying to keep up with the pace and falled to get any portibn of the spoils.
