CLUB NOT EAGER TO HOLD RECALCITRANT SOUTHPAW Would Gladly Make Deal Portside Twirler—Dempsey’s Sparring Mate in Champs’ Volley Ball Game. BY DENMAN THOMPSON, Sports Editer.

Jobn McGr: reported to have turned down flat that suggestion, but to have countered with the offer to give Nehf in exchange for Ruether. Nehf's Record Good. Nehf is one vear older than the Dutchman, having been born 33 years ago last July at Terre Haute Ind. He lacks several inches of Ruether’s six feet one inth of height, trails Walter considerably in weight and is far from being in his class as a hitter. Breaking into the big show with the Boston Nationals in 1915, Nehf mrved there until midseason of 18719, when he was sold to the Giants at & reported price of $55,000. He nlways Bhas been rated as a highclass moundsman, and for his 11 years as ® big leaguer has an average of .612 from 159 games won and 101 lost, & mark considerably better than the .579 credited to Ruether from 110 victories and 80 defeats in nine years' service in the majors.

Bven the old-timers among present-day fans cannot recal when he was not in evidence at a :ig league game. It may be that he has been on the job ever since the Capital first had a ball park. Starting as a watchman and having various other dutles added from time to time, O'Dea has come In contact with followers of the national pastime for such a long period that he probably is known by sight to more sports lovers than any other man in the District. Huge of frame and gruff in manner, ©'Dea _always has been a terror to vandals, fence jumpers and other law violators invariably to be found at sports gatherings. Pop bottle tossers, umpire balters and others of their ilk have found the burly, florid-complex- foned officer of the law & mighty tough oustomer to deal with and his single- handed efforts probably have done more to discourage rowdyism at Amer- jcan League games than any other agency. Tn recent years his health has not been of the best and it is for this rea- son and to give some concrete evi- dence of appreciation felt for his serv. jces that O'Dea has been relieved of the more onerous part of his duties. “Jim has rendered invaluable serv- fce to us,” said President Griffith, in O'Dea's advancement, The work he has been doing would tax the strength of even a young man and he has earned a job that will not be so arduous.” In Haisman, who will take over the groundkeeping portion of O'Dea’s du- tles, Griff asserts he has landed the Best {n the country. Haisman at pres- ent is acting in that capacity for the White Sox and will report for duty at Seventh street and Florida avenue on March 1. Griff has known Haisman since the tatter was a boy around the old Cubs’ park on the West Side of Chicago some 30 years ago, and is confident he will fashion a diamond in Washington that will be unsurpassed at any big league grounds.

Rice has been knocking over the opposition with consistent regularity, and, while Goslin also has been suc- cessful thus far, he has had harder battles to fight. Yesterday Rice won from W. A. Stickney of the St. Louls Country Club, 6 and 6. Goslin won over L. D. Ormsby, 1 up in 19 holes.

For the first time in the history of the school, Eastern’s freshman squad is sweeping the field in the interclass basket ball series which got under way Tuesday. In the opening contest they defeated the Juniors, 26 to 20, creating a sensation. In the other game of the double. header piayed on the opening day, the iflnplrzmoma nosed out the Seniors, 16 0 14. Yesterday the Freshmen scored again, taking the measure of the Seniors, 14 to 12. The Freshmen had a one-point edge on their opponents at the close of the half, but the Sen- fors took the leaq in the third quarter which ended 12-10. Guarding was close and it was difficult for either team to score in the final period, but the Freshmen managed to add four points. Freshmen passers are Alice Elliott, Frances Balley, Elizabeth Stull, cap- tain; Frances Dennison, Virgle Cock- , Lou Snyder and Marion Fisk. ‘The Sophomore squad includes Miss Law, captain; Lucllle Bixler, Ella Sanborn, Jean Stivers, Bill Newman, Helen Manning, Helen Chatlin, Miss Reznek and Miss McCaffery.

SUZANNE MAY PLAY IN SINGLES AT NICE By the Assoclated Press. MONTE CARLO, February 25.— Miss Helen Wills advanced a step nearer to possession of the Duke of Connaught’s gold cup todsy when she defeated Miss Lily Cadle of England, 6—08, 6—1, and thus reached the semifinal of the Monte Carlo tournament. MONTE CARLO, February 25.— The news that the Nice Tennis Club has ordered 20,000 francs’ worth of lumber and other material with which to bulld new stands on {ts courts has raised the hopes of some tennis devo- tees that Suzanne Lenglen will enter the singles competition there early next month and play Helen Wills again. Suzanne has sald that she will play no more singles matches until the St. Cloud tournament in June, and thus far she has made no announce- ment that she has changed her mind. Other followers of the game think that Miss Wills has become a draw. ing card of the same caliber as Suzanne and that possibly the Nice club officials are keeping this in mind in ordering the new stands. King Gustave of Sweden, who on the courts is known as Mr. G, and Braem Hilliard, an Englishman, have won a first round match in handicap doubles, Gustave is practicing assiduously, since his snowbound realm has af- forded him little opportunity to play tenns for months.

Pa., February 25—The base ball world was mourne ing today for Eddie Plank, one of the greatest left-handed pltche ers of his time, who died yesterday. ' He was stricken with paralysis three days ago. Death came four months after Christy Mathewson, his rifhl-hand:d rival in several world series battles, had succumbed to tubercu Plank was 51 years old. His physi- cian sald that 16 yvears of strenuous work with the Philadelphia Athletics and one season with the St. Louils Federal League club had left his heart in a weakened condition Many telegrams of condolence came to Mrs. Plank and her 10-year-old son. At the Athletics' training camp in Fort Myer*, Fla., Connie Mack sald: “1 feel ke a father must feel when he has lost a son. The world has lost & fine, clean sportsman. Eddie was one of the smartest left-hand pitchers in base ball. He was master of the cross-fire delivery and that was one of his_big assets.” ‘Thomas S. Shibe, president of the Athletics, said: “A great ball player in his day and a lovable character, one of God's noblemen.” Funeral services will be held Satur- day afternoon from the First Presby- terlan Church.

ARL McPHILOMY will have to do a deal of duckpin shooting at the Coliseum tomorrow if he would overhaul Glenn Wolstenholme in As a result of some steady hitting while rival was bowling in an in-and-out manner on the King Pin drives y terday, Wolstenholme will carry into the last five-game block of the coti test an advantage of 55 pins. That's a tough handicap for Earl or any other bowler to overcome. Perhaps McPhilomy will shoot in better form in tomorrow’s concluding block that will start at 2 o'clock. He very likely will find the Coliseum drives more to his liking than the slick, newly finished alleys used in the second block at the King Pin. Then, too, Earl may be better shod for the affalr. At the King Pin vesterday, wearing ordinary walking shoes, the Stanford man never was able to main- tain his footing decentln He was off his stride continually and naturally his control suffered. But with Earl at top form, Wolsten- holme would have taken a deal of beating in the second five games. The King Pin representative, after getting the feel of the aileys in the first five frames, began shooting his consistent game, and in the secon dand third ten-frame strings accumulated a tre- mendous lead. The first three games went against McPhilomy, the initial one by a meager count, but the other two by heavy scores. In the fourth, how- ever, McPhilomy managed to hold Wolstenholme to a tie and outbowled his rival in the fifth well enough to reduce Glenn’s match lead from 71 to 55 pins. Neither men counted as well as he did in the first five-game block. Glenn shot 621 against 626 for the initial set, while Earl got 680 against 612, In his second effort yesterday, however, ‘Wolstenholme hit for 153, the best ten-frame count in the match so far. | Wolstenholme outmarked McPhil- omy and got better counts on his marks. Glenn hit for 17 spares and 4 strikes, averaging counts of practi- cally 72 pins on the spares and ¢ on the strikes. Earl got 15 spares and 3 strikes, averaging 6.6 pins on his spares and about 83 on his strikes. Earl also falled to get the wood well. foetalled scores of yesterday's block ow: SIXTH GAME.
