Griffs Guests of Hard-Hitting A’s : Western Clubs Holdi JOHNSON TO DO HURLING IN SHORT SERIES OPENER Game Expected to Break Second-Place Tie and May Earn Victor Top Place—Reuther’s Slabbing and Judge’s Homer Defeat Yankees. BY DENMAN THOMPS! Sports Editor, The Star. HILADELPHIA, April 18—Only good weather is needed to make the clash between Griffs and Macks here today a gala affair. P Quakertown is all hopped up Athletics to date, despite their -crippled condition. the biggest of the week for docal f: that they will be afforded their first world char taxed to their capacity. teresting. Thus far the Mackmen have mot missed Fred Heimach, southpaw slabbist, who dislocated his shoulder while training in Florida, or Joe Hauser, first baseman and principal punch of the outfit, who is out, prob- ably for the remainder of the season with a fractured kneecap. Jimmy Poole, obtamed from the Portland club of the Pacific Coast League, has fitted nicely into the hole left at the initial station, and if he can continue his good work, especially with "the flafl. will take a big load of worry off the shoulders of Cornelius McGillicuddy. Ruether Real Hero. The Griffithian flair for home-run hitting, exemplified against Bob Shaw- key again yesterday when Judge for a second time in two days evolved a round tripper, is likely to cause equally meritorious service from other sources to be overlooked, particularly when such a wallop is delivered with the sacks filled. Just to make sure that credit is accorded where due, it is hereby pointed out that the chlef rea- son for the Griffs' third straight vic- tory, that of 6 to 1, over the Yankees in New York yesterday was Walter Ruether. Dramatic and, inspiring ‘as was Judge's jolt, the Bucks would have won without the four runs it produced, but there is no assurance victory would have been theirs without slabbing of the sterling brand flashed by Ruether. It was the first regular season ap- pearance in a Washington uniform of the southpaw who was willingly passed up by all National League clubs when Braoklyn put him on the block last Fall, and if his work yester- day can be taken as a criterion of his|" value, Clark Grifith made strike in snapping him up. ‘Three of the 10 hits charged against Ruether were of doubtful Jegality and two others were infleld affairs. Dutch used a crossfire delivery with a free and easy motion and showed a fine change of pace, in addition to speed, hooks and glever control. He deserved & shut-out victory, and but for an er- ror by his boss would have had it. Error Gives Yanks' Run. The lone tally that marred his bid for a string of goose eggs accrued in the opening round. Dugan connected for a clean single at the outset and after Combs and Meusel had been et _down, Paschal got a life when Nally grabbed hisFoller and after starting to tag Dugan on the line, changed his mind and fired to Judge too late to get the runner. Harris then made a fine stop of Pipp's bounder to his left, but heaved wildly past first, Dugan scoring. When Ward walked the corners were crowded, but Scott rolled to Judge to leave them that way. Goslin was largely responsible for Washington tying the score in the second. He looped a safety to center, moved uyp' ath, third and s fly Combs. Only esterling work by Ruether and Rice prevented McNally’s shortcom- ings from proving costly again in the third. The latter gave O'Neill a hit by cuffing his roller. Shawkey then singled to right, and Rice, by a fine Jiné throw, flagged O'Neill sliding into third. Dugan also was credited with a_safety when McNally ran over in from of Peck and messed up Jumping Joe's whack. Seelng that it was up to him, Ruether slipped a third strike a ten- n Judge's d scored on Pec to over on Combs, and, after passing Meusel to filll the bases, fanned Paschal. Judge Clears Bases. Judge achleved the ultimate goal of every batsman In the fourth when he personally was responsible for pro- ducing four runs with his bludgeon. larris had started the frame With a slashing single over third base, and the aisles were packed when Rice Iked and Goslin was hit with a ed ball.

At Brook- land, Catholic_University was to be host to Wake Forest in a diamond en- gagement starting at 8 o'clock, while George Washington University was to hold an interclass meet for man and woman students in Central High School Stadium, beginning at 1 o'clock. A lacrosse game was scheduled at College Park between the University of Maryland freshmen and Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, play to get un- der way at 3 o'clock. Maryland’s var- sity twelve was to go to Baltimore for a practice tilt with L’Hirondelle Club. Georgetown and George Washing- ton riflemen are in Brooklyn to en- gage in the Eastern intercollegiate championships. Maryland’s track team is at Lexington for a dual meet with Virginia Military Institute. Rain here yesterday prevented’ Georgetown teams from meeting Ford- ham at base ball and St. John's of Annapolis at tennis, but Maryland’'s nine got into action at Richmond against University of Richmond and suffered a 14-to-4 defeat in concluding its Southern tour. The Spiders did all their scoring in the latter part of the game, when Brayton, Maryland’s pitcher, was well hammered. D. C.

Bryan Harriss, Nationals’ Jinx, May Go to Firing Line for A.’s P Baumgartner flast year developed in Stanwood Baumgartner would with a fifth-place club. Harriss, far all his towering height and a -barrel of “stuff,” never has proved particularly effective except against Washington. His almost in- variable success against the Nationals has been the deciding factor in keep ing Harriss in the league for several seasons past. # Bluege’s ailing wing is not respond- ing well to treatment, and it is likely McNally wHl continue to sub for him at third base for several days yet. Oss needs warm weather to work the .kink out of his arm. Ruether earned a fine hand for his feat in fanning Paschal with the sacks Jammed in the second. Goslin's theft of third in this frame was a cleanly executed effort. With- out this contribution from Goose, the Griffs could not have scored to knot the count in this frame. The fact that Goslin is a team work- er first and a slugger secondarily was exemplified in the fourth, when he tried to sacrifice with two mates on the paths. Being winged by Shawkey on the next dellvery served Goose's purpose even better. Judge’s homer in the fourth with the bases loaded was his second in successive games. The count on Joe was three and_two when he hopped on a cripple and sent it svaring over the railing in front of the rightfield bleachers. Plenty of feeling among the athletes was_displayed in the course of the combat. The entire Yankee infield dashed in to protest Nallin's ball and strike decisions on Judge before Joe poled his homer in the fourth, and Harris and Scott engaged in a spirited debate over alleged rough tactics em- ployed by Bucky when he dled steal- ing in the fifth. Harsh words passed from the players df both clubs, who gathered at the midway, but nothing came of it. Rite had to leg back to the barrier in right to get under Dugan's drive in the sixth. McNally had an easy chance for 4 liner in the eighth, but his throw to nip Scott off first was wide. Peck had little to do in a fielding way and his arm got stiff as a poker waiting for Pipp's roller for the final out. TRIBE, 1; BROWNS, 0. AT ST. LOUIS. ABH.Q.

WALKER WANTS SHADE TO SCALE 147 POUNDS NEW YORK, April 18.—Mickey Walker, world welterweight champion. has announced he would require the posting of a $10,000 forfeit by Dave Shade.of California, to guarantee that the latter scales 147 pounds, before he consents to a title match with the coast challenger. Walker's announcement followed & demand by the New York State Ath- letic Commission that the champion post a similar forfeit guaranteeing a Shade fight before the board sanctions key's proposed bout with Harry eb, middleweight titleholder, at the Polo Grounds, June 19 The forfeit requirements were con- sidered by boxing followers as a new obstacle to the Greb-Walker match, owing to the fact that Shade has been fighting for some time at a weight in excess of the welterweight limit. RICKARD IS DISPLEASED WITH BOUT DATE SHIFT NEW YORK, April 18.—Although the New York State Athletic Commis- sion yesterday opened one gap in the congestion of outdoor boxing dates during May and June by advancing the Gibbons-Tunney fight from June 12 to June 5, they closed another at the displeasure of Tex Rickard. Rickard was requested by the board to move his McTigue-Berlenbach fight up from May 28 to May 22, and he objected strenuously, clagming that May 22 is entirely too early for an open-air show. = MUNN’S DEFEAT MAY WRECK BIG MAT BOUT CHICAGO, April 18:—The $80,000 purse for a Memorial day heavy- welght championship wrestling match at Michigan City has almost vanished because of the surprising defeat of the titleholder, Wayne “Big” Munn, by Stanislaus Zbyszko, in Philadelphia, Wednesday night. “Strangler” = Lewis, the former champion, had signed for the return match with Munn, who threw him out of the ring in Kansas City, and Munn was holding off while he tried to land a $100,000 European tour contract. Efforts to sign up the new cham- pion, Zbyszko, with Lewis in place of Munn for the match have met with little success so far, and this has re- vived talk in wrestling circles of the “wrestling trust” war between eastern and western promoters. PRELIMINARIES BOOKED FOR FIGHT SHOW HERE Besides the main bout of the Na- tional Capital Sporting Club’s next show, on April 28, in which Johnny Dundee meets Honey Boy Finnigan over the 10-round route, two eight- round fights have been arranged and a fencing exhibition by Prof. Generoso Pavese of the Naval Academy has been carded.

Lloyd Hahn of Boston won the mile in 4:15 3-5, with Ray Dodge 10 feet behind, and Joie Ray and Ray Watson trailing. Ray's leg bothered him consider- ably. —— MARSHALL IN DRAW; TORRE WINS MATCH BADEN-BADEN, April 13.—Both of the American representatives in the international chess masters’ tourna- ment at the Kurhaus here went through the second round undefeated, and at the conclusion of play, with 8 out of a total of 10 games decided, are credited_with 1% Whereas Frank J. Marshall, the United States champion, won his game Thursday, he had to be satisfied with a draw against Spielmann of Austria yesterday. Marshall had the black side of a Petroff defense, which fol- lowed well-known lines to a point where the position was so even that they agreed upon a draw after 19 moves. Carlos Torre, the New York State champion, who also had the black pieces and resorted to the French de- fense, was successful in winning from J. W. Kolste of Amsterdam In a com- paratively short game of 26 moves. The young Mexican outcombined his adversary soon after the opening had been left behind, and won =2 piece which gave him an overwhelming advantage. The only one of the 21 competitors with a better score than the Ameri- cans is A. Niemzowitsch of Denmark, who defeated Dr. Tarrasch of Muen: chen in consequence of a blunder by the latter, who had the black side of an English opening. This game lasted 27 moves. Niemzowitsch is the only one with a clean slate of two victories. STUHLDREHER IS SIGNED TO COACH AT VILLANOVA PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April 18.

J., April 18.—After a week’s work with the Princeton foot- ball men, Fielding Yost has departed for Ann Arbor to prepare for the Spring practice at Michigan. Yost and Harvey Emery, who have been directing the Princeton practice, declared themselves well pleased with the experiment and anxious to have Bill Roper and Al Wittmer attend :Mu ce at the Middle Western insti- ution. At the informal luncheon given to the visiting coaches by Dr. Charles W. Kennedy, chairman of the Princeton board of athletic control, Yost com- mented on the growth of intercollegi- ate athletics and the change in faculty attitude toward it. “When I was an undergraduate sport was a wart on university life, he said. “Now in 95 per cent of the colleges and universities of this coun- try I believe that athletics constitute an integral part of the educational system. g “Strict rules of eligibility and a com- mon understanding are necessary for friendliness in undergraduate competi- tion. We must mantalin a sense of proportion in our direction of athletics. Our task is not to produce the best technical game as such, but to produce the best game with the material which ‘we have at our disposal—namely, the men who come to our universities to obtain training for the game of life.' CUBS ARE HIT ANOTHER BLOW CHICAGO, April 18.—The Chicago Cubs were dealt another blow when it became known that Art Neis, utility outfielder, is suffering from an attack of scarlet fever and will be lost to the club for four or five weeks. pus el S i ‘WILL LEAD SWIMMERS.

Where- upon Weber came very near holing his ball for a birdie 2. The ball stopped right on the lip of the cup, and it left me a dead stymie. Careful examination revealed that there was no way to get around Har- old’s ball. Neither could I play over it. I couldn’t concede the hole. What was I to do? 2 My decision was to try an unusual play, but the only thing left me. It consisted of putting hard straight at ‘Weber’s ball, in the hopes of hitting it with enough force to carry it over the hole while my own ball would drop. It would have been a great stunt if I could have gotten away with it. However, my ball struck Weber's a glancing blow, moved it only a little ways off the cup and was itself de- flected well to one side. Harold got his 3 and took the hole.

T quote part of it as follows: “Dear Mr. Dilg: “I enjoy very much reading your Call of the Outdoors articles, and it sure does help during the Winter months, when one can do little but listen to the call of the outdoors. “As my work and training is along the lines of blology and medicine, I have always been interested in the great many adaptations of nature, and one of these interesting adaptations is hibernation. I remember, as a boy, at my home out in Wisconsin, in ‘Winter, we would dig out some of the hibernating gophers, and it was al- ‘ways interesting to see them In such a profound sleep, when we knew them as very active little fellows in the Summer. “So 1 was interested in your arti- cle on hibernation of bears. I am sure that the man you quoted knows a great deal about hibernation of bears, but I am also quite sure that his knowledge of biology and physi- ology is not on a with his praeti- cal knowledge of hibernation in bears. “The. hibernating animal does breathe, but probably not over once in a minute or two or three, aid that respiration § so shaltow that ome points each. | ¢ Big League Leads SHAUTE PITCHES INDIANS TO FRONT IN JUNIOR LOOP, Defeated Reds Now Share First Berth in Naticnal Circuit With Winning Cubs—Giants Trounce Braves—Red Sox and Tygers Triumph. vy Nationals gaining ground aff The Cincinnati Reds, who gallop winning streak with the opening gun, the Chicago Cubs yesterday.

Inside Golf By Chester Hortol In the forward swing of the upright half swing the player should work with the clubhead entirely, and the meaning of this somewhat confus- ing term will im- mediately become clear if he will only school him- self to stop the clubhead at the half distance in the back swing. From this half- way station in the back swing, start the clubhead for- ward witha wrist- throwing move- ment, and 'then make the hands and wrists con- tinue to throw the clubhead. It is fatal to try to push the club with the body. Make it a point to see how fast you can throw the clubhead without using the body 11, and to your amazement you will discover that the less you use the body | the more speed the clubhead will ac- cumulate. That is the factor of rhythm getting in its effect. After you acquire this, try letting your head roll with the shoulders as the club- head goes through the ball, being care- ful not to let the head go until the clubhead actually hits. This will pro- | mote a fine follow through. | (Copyright, 1925.) TRIO OF NET FINALS | ON PINEHURST CARD | PINEHURST, - N.

Whitmore of Washington, who has would not notice the amount of mois- ture that is thrown out with the breath—even if he watched closely | and long enough to see the animal breathe. The explanation of hiberna- tion as a deep sleep is very good, but the explanation that hibernation is like alcoholic intoxication is surely wrong. Hibernation is no more like aleoholic intoxication than is normal sleep like it. “We are familiar with a marked lowering of metabolism in many ani- mals (of course, it is the usual thing in plants) during the Winter or dur- ing dry seasons; many of the insects and other arthropods pass the Winter in hibernation, or actually frozen solid; many fish burrow into the mud in the Winter or in dry season, and any one knows that his goldfish stands a very. good chance of remaining alive if he thaws out the frozen aquarium (even though it is frozen solid with the goldfish frozen solid in the ice) pretty promptly in the morning. Of course, the fish and arthropeds are cold- biooded animals, but the principles of life are the same: and all this indi- cates to us that there is nothing strange about an animal’s metabolism ESTERN teams held undisputed possession of first place in tha two major league races today, with the champion Giants ar | gent into a tie fo 4 ter their slow starts. ed off to an unexpected threc-gama slid back into a tie for the lead with string was broken in an 1l-inning g which the Cleveland Indians pro« ed the Speaker entry past the falter« ‘ After three sterling mouwd exhibis tions by Donohue, Rixey and Luque, the Reds were unable to call upon one T of the stars of their twirling staf whose record gave indication that he would have improved the maintaining the form. 1 submarine hurler. ames for Cine i because of a sore arm, a moundsmen who endeavored to fill the v at crucial ¢ safeties The Cubs outbatted the Pirates to win at 9 to 6 rtnett and Miller leading the att rmer posted his fourth hom and Miller led ampa of th leagues for the day in as many turns at bat with four sl Dean Blanks Braves.

Hard driven, because of the ea date of the race against Navy Annapolis, April 25, both the senior and junjor eights have of last for cording to observer smooth-working macl Coach Bill Haines. 'We are not over-burden big men,” Couch Haines 3 “but we are mal g the most of the material at_han The M. I T. stroke is patterned after the University of Washington stroke, but is slightly abbreviated in order to attain a higher beat for the short distances at which the crews will race. Early season form has been criticized as unsteady angd short —the shells rolling too much and the blades not being held in the water long enough. But Haines said, “‘wes hope to get things slipping along smoothly by the time we are called upon to race.” Four veterans of last year's victory over Cornell in this year's crew are Hamblet at bow, Horle, 5: Capt. Latham, 6, and Valentine, stroke. The seating of the senior varsity eight, which probably will not be changed before the opening race, is: Stroke, Valentine; 7. Peterson: 6, _Capt. Latham; 5, Horle; 4, Collins: 3, Lorfer; 2, Underwood; bow, Hamblet; coxs- wain, Houghton. In the junior varsity are: Stroke, Frink: 7, Hammond; 6, Sherwood; 5, ‘Weihler; 4, Brockelman; 3, Robinse 2, Capt. King; bow, Radislovich; coxswain, Thamon. The two varsity eights are the products of selections from an original squad of 207. Tech will row Nav shell after five day n an Annapolid * practice in the syrange craft. “It would be very re- markable,” Coach Haines said, “if Tech defeated the Navy, all we hope is to row them a good race.” Tech will race Harvard, Pennsyl. vania and Cornell on the Charles River, May 9, over a oneand-three quarter-mile course.
