C, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 19, 1925. TWO CLOSE FINISHES IN GEORGE WASHINGTON INTERCLASS MEET YESTERDAY ‘. Leah Cate, freshman, winnis HILADELPHIA, April 18.—At P This thought did not originate v ceived in the fertile bra it is founded on theori sideration. Not infrequently when attention is’ directed in the public prints to the ex ploits of a player, or a group of them, fate steps in and scrambles the dope by ordaining just the reverse of what appears logical to expect. Such an eventuality in this instance would cause the Griffs to skid rapidly toward the cellar, but they proved so superior to accepted standards in attaining the well nigh impossible last seadon that little apprehension 1is felt in paint- ing a rosy picture of their future. Has Faith in 0ld Pitchers. Griff was not influenced in his idea by the fucl'ihal the Nationals took ¢ plausible three out off four games from Yankess, gererally regarded as the! most formidable flag rivals, for his views were expounded before the campaign got under way. They have their foundation in the promise that Washington's pitching staff, its most vital department, is composed largely of veterans, who naturally need plenty of time to reach the peak of their effectiveness. “If we are out in front by middle of May, the rest of “em never is the way Griff puts “We have a bunch of old-timers who need plenty of heat and sun- shine to be at their best, and if we can get by for the first month of the will be easy. “Fellows like Johnson, Zachary Ruether, Ogden, Coveleskie and Gregg, who are not so young as they used to be, vannot get properly thaw- weather is cool and damp.. They re- quire plenty of heat to oil up their ancxat soupers. This is not so true of Russell—that bird has a rubber arm—nor of Mogridge, who usually is better in the Spring and Fall than in Midsummer, and, of course, does not v kids like Marberry and “We probably will have to look to this quartet for a lot of service in the immediate future, and if they can hold the fort until the other half dozen are ready the remainder of the field will have to take our dust through the rest of the season. We ought to just canter in.” Bluege's Absence Felt. Just how valuable Bluege is to the Natjonals was strikingly illustrated during the last two contests with the Yankees in New York. Although both were placed on the right side of the ledger, it was apparent to even a casual observer that the Griffs do not boast of the “best infield in the league” when this agile performer is missing from his station at third base, and until he is able to resume service in his usual efficient style the club, will be appreciably weakened. Bluege is nursing a lame arm, due to the settling there of a cold. The affection is in nowise serious and the youngster today said he hoped to get right back on the job. to stay, but care will be exercised to avold aggravating his ailment by too strenuous exertions. - If in condition, McNally could cover the assignment with little detriment to the club, but the Minookian reported this Spring far overweight and has not succeeded in melting it off, despite oodles of hard work. McNally sat on the bench with . the Yankees—doing practically nothing for so long that he became hog fat and rusty. While never a hard hitter, he al- ways had a penchant for delivering timely blows and had few superiors as a flelder when in physical shape. But he is far below par now, where formerly he was one of the fastest men in the game; his superfluous avoirdupois has robbed him of his speed and he now appears at times to get in his own way. McNally Below ' Par. No less than five hits were credited to Yanks in McNally's two full games at New York on chances that Bluege ordinarily gobbles up ahd on another occasion the failure of the Griffs to execute a double play was directly due to Mike's slowness. He is toiling earnestly to get in condition, but can hardly reach his goal for several weeks yvet, and if, Bluege is absent much in the meanwhile the Griffs are bound to-suffer accordingly.

Gen. Sherrill deplored recent press | reports that Hoiland would be unable | to finance the next contests and as- serted that such rumors were without | foundation.

PARIS, April 18.— Gaston Vidal, former minister of sports, and Count Clary, president of the French Olym- pic committee, have accepted invita- tions from the Dutch Olympic com- mittee to go to Holland and take part in the campaign to obtain the neces- sary funds for staging the 1928 Olym- pic games in Amsterdam. A bill calling for 1,000,000 florins to defray the expenses will be discussed by the Dutch Parliament next week, and. the Dutch committee, therefore, wants to awaken public opinion to the importance of sufficient financial back- ing for the Olympic authorities. The bill before the Dutch Parliament would provide about $400,000 for stag- ing the 1928 Olympiad.
