* Griffs Need But One More Victory to Earn Championship of Gra EASILY TRIP CARDS BY 570 SCORE Braxton and Marberry Effec- tive—Bluege and West Produce Homers. BY JOHN B. KELLER. AMPA, Fla, March 30.—Irving Hadley, Bob Burke, Sam Jones and Lioyd Brown. These are the pitchers Manager Johnson plans to employ in the last two games his Nationals will play against a major league outfit in Florida this year. Hadley and Burke were to get the call today, Jones and Brown tomor- row. For Jones it will be the first time out this year and he will be asked to toil but three innings. Brown in all likelinood will complete the Sunday game. Oné more victory over the Cardinals and the Nationals will leave the Gator State undisputed champions of the Grapefruit League. That 5-10-2 triumph scored over Billy Southworth’s bunch yesterday made the Washing- ton Club's record in this Florida train- ing circuit 10 victories against 2 defeats. The defeat left the Cards the Na- tionals’ only rivals for the mythical title, with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses. Incidentally, Johnson's is the only American League club that has licked the Cards this training season. The Nationals have taken the senior Jeague pennant winners into camp twice in three attempts. . Excellent pitching and & sharp attack again accounted for the Nationals® suc- cess in the opener of their three-game set with the Cards on Plant Field. Gar- land Braxton went five innings and Fred Marberry four against the St. Louis batters yesterday. All Braxton yielded was two singles, three passes and a run. Marberry gave up one hit, a double, two pases and a tally. Braxton's “screw ball” had the Cards swinging futilely most of the time he was on the hill. He struck out five, three in the fifth frame. Mar- berry had his fast one working well. Cards Score on Errors, But for two errors, the Cardinals would have been blanked. It was & wild chuck by Benny Tate that helped the St. Louis Club toward a score in the fifth and a muff of a fly ball by Joe Judge that let a run across in the ninth. The Nationals faced the pitching of Bill Doak, veteran spitballer, the first three innings and got six hits for three runs. Then Sylvester Johnson pitched to them for three rounds and gave them but two hits. He had a great curve ball. Ray Lingrel served them for two frames and was nicked for three safeties and a brace of markers. Hits were well spread over the line- up. Ossie Bluege and Sammy West banged homers. Bluege's powerful drive in the third sent the bail under the fence back of left center, while in the seventh West sent the sphere out of the lot back of right center. The third inning saw three National tallies registered. With one gone Buddy Myer singled and pulled up at the far corner as Goose Goslin popped a two-bagger to left. Doak grabbed Red Barnes’ grounder and chucked to Mancuso, who ran down Buddy. Gos- lin made third on the play, so Mancuso tried to nip Barnes going to second. The catcher’s throw pulled Frisch off balance at the middle sack so Goslin was able to slide home just ahead of Frankie's return. ‘Then Bluege hoisted his homer. It was a base on bells that paved the way te-the Cardinal run, made in the fifth. After fanning Hafey, Brax- ton walked Roettger. The Card swiped second as a third strike whizzed by Gelbert and continued to third when Tate’s poor peg sent the ball to center field. Mancuso beat out a slow bounder to Bluege for a single that counted Roettger, Then Braxton whiffed John- son. The fourth National marker was chalked up in the seventh. West's homer with two out was responsible. Barnes Initiates Tally. ‘Barnes began the making of the fifth Tun by opening the eighth session with a slash to left. It was good for a single, but Red hustled to third when Hafey let the ball go through. The Tun was in after Douthitt bagged Cronin’s long hoist. One was out in the Cards’ ninth when Bottomley doubled. After Hafey popped to Judge, Jim was allowed to amble to third base. Roettger put up a high one back of first base. Capt. Joe called for the ball and then muffed the catch that would have meant the third out. That meant run No. 2 for the St. Louis men. Marberry walked Gelbert, but ;dl‘e battle ended with Smith’s foul to yer. Joe Cronin, who broke into the Na- tionals’ line-up at shortstop in the sixth, made two fancy stops. In the seventh inning he went back of the middle sack to intercept Smith's high bounder and got his man. In the eighth Joe came in fast for Haney’s slow one and flagged the fleet runner. ‘Barnes also contributed a spectacular bit of flelding. In the sixth he ran back against the right field fence and dragged down Hafey's drive for the final out. Two Cards were dusting nrugnd the paths when Red did his stuff, The only National who did not see the pastiming yesterday was Pat Ghar- rity. The coach had to remain in bed all day, nursing a badly swollen big toe that was severely bruised when struck by a batted ball during practice Wed- nesday and incidentally recovering from the effects of sea sickness suffered while on a fishing trip in the Guif of Mexico, off Clearwater, Thursday. He was ex- pected to be on the job again today, al- though the toe still is wtiulte sore. Pat declares he is through with fishing trips unless they are on nice, smooth ponds. > CARDINALS, E Douthit, cf z H H H o Bl mmmrsroiomamtscan wlossomsssmmas wle IO B ) B ol cosecvounsssnn? alssunonsssucs =2 2| souncwnssumrun® Bl sscsnnumaunnad wl ssomormscassss I dri in—Bluege . ooty Cronin, "Two-base Bita—Gosn, innings: off Marberry, 1 in 4 innings; Doak. @ in § innings; off Jobnsen. 2 in 3 of Lingrel, 3 in ¢ innings, 8 By Braxton, 5; by Doak, 1: by Jol seberry, 13 by, D.

ORT MYERS, Fla, March 30.— I : Athletics, is homeward bound. Two of his regulars, Lefty Grove, pitcher, and Jack Boley, shortstop, are accompanying him to Philadelphia, where they W medical treatment. Grove is unable to grip a ball because of a maimed finger on his pitching hand and Boley's arm, sore since he started training, has not yielded to treatment here. With Manager Mack returning to Philadelphia, Capt. Eddie Collins will have charge of the Athletics on a barnstorming tour that will take them toward their home town. Coach Gleason, with a flock of rookies, also has started homeward. NEW ORLEANS, La., March 30 (#).— Manager Roger Peckinpaugh of the Cleveland Indians has been worrying about second basemen, and has three rookies preparing to substitute for Carl Lind, himself a youngster, if anything happens to him. Jonah Goldman, Johnny Burnett and Dan Jessee are doubting from second 1o third to learn the trade. Lind is the only confirmed second sacker in camp. Wesley Ferrell and Willis Hudlin were to pitch in the seventh game with the New Orleans Pelicans today. HOUSTON, Tex., March 30 (®).— Manager Bucky Harris' threat to enter the Detroft line-up was to materialize today in a game with the Houston club, Texas champions. Harris_planned to play second base, moving Charlie Gehringer to shortstop. If Gehringer fails to find himself at home in the new position the new Tiger leader plans to send Charlie back to. second; move Marty McManus to short and try third himself. WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, March 30 (#).—Eddie Roetz, whose playing has warmed the cockles of Manager How= ley's heart, will get a chance at third base for the St. Louls Browns today. Grimes, who was being groomed for the spot, was benched for weak hitting. DALLAS, Tex., March 30 (#).—The Chicago White Sox may emulate the New York Yankees this year by strug- gling through the season without a captain. Art Shires, youthful first baseman, was named captain, but Manager “Lena” Blackburne recently ordered his title dropped. FORT WORTH, March 30 (®.— Bearing a scar of battle himself, John Connie Mack, veteran boss of the | agains undergo J J. McGraw led the undefeated Giants into this city today to resume series st the Chicago te Sox, already twice defeated by the New York team. The Giant manager was nursing a bruise inflicted by an eccentricly thrown ball which struck him in the head just before the game yesterday he sat on the bench. He saw the ball coming just in time to avert his head enough to escape serious injury. WEST PALM BEACH, Fia, March 30 (#).—The Brooklyn team was en- couraged today by the return of Glenn Wright from a successful visit to a spe- clalist. The former Pirate shortfielder par- ticipated in.the Robins' winning rally for 4 runs in the ninth yesterday to the extent of walking as a pinch bats- man and scoring & run. An. injured arm had prevented him playing hitherto, . DALLAS, Tex., March 80 (#).—After spending an off day traveling and pos- ing with some Mexican rebels, the Cubs were in Beaumont today to match swats with the Kansas City Blues. The Cubs won 10 out of 14 of their first exhibition games against Los An- geles and Detroit, averaging 10 runs a game. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 30 (). —Burleigh Grimes, probably will be as- signed to pitch the first game of the season for the Pirates against the Cubs, Manager Bush intimated today. Ray Kremer will be second choice. Both are in fine form. ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla,, March 30 (). —The worries of Manager Jack Hen- dricks concerning his Cincinnati Red outfield appear to be at an end. The Reds took on the Montreal Royals at Daytona Beach yesterday and, largely through the work of Allen, Purdy and Crabtree, won a 5-to-4 decision. The outfield trio scored four of the five runs and secured five of the 12 hits, Allen and Crabtree each contrib- uting a home run. WINTERHAVEN, Fla., March 30 (). —The Phillies have finished with major league opponents in the South and soon will begin the trek north. They played 11 games and broke even, having tled the last. “We will win a lot of close games this year,” Shotton predicts. He says he expects Benge, Willoughby, Fergu- son, McGraw, Roy and Collins, right- handers, and Sweetland and Milligan, Jeft-handers, to do most.of his pitching.

HE LINE McGEZHAN A Powerfu! Ballyhoo. ILL ROPER has called oft Spring foot ball practice at Princeton, He announced that he expected the members of the foot ball squad to get themselves into condition by taking part in some of the seasonable sports and keeping themselves in condition until the call is issued for the regular Fall practice. I have been asked why the base ball magnates do not insist that their players report in condition for the opening game without maintaining them at the clubs’ expense through resorts in the South. the six-week period of prelimin~-v perspiration at In the first place, many of the clubs make money out of the exhibition games in the Spring, particularly the Yankees with Babe Ruth and Columbia Lou Gehrig. In the second place, the Spring training is the best ballyhoo for the main season. The stories coming up from the South prepare the customers for the season’s regular opening. Without this sort of ballyhoo there would be no particular rush to the turnstiles on opening day. Even the national pastime needs a long and sustained ballyhoo. I recall that during a strike which forced the New York newspapers to suspend publication for a day there was & crucial series‘at the Yankee Stadium. Babe Ruth was in a rush to break his own record -for home runs. Now, the customers of the Yankees knew of the crucial series, but I understand that the attendance fell off to about 50 per cent of what the Yankees expected. “This was because the ballyhoo slacked for 24 hours. The box office needed the stimulus that is given through the account of the game of the day before. HE French are supreme French Supremacy. in tennis. Cochet holds the singles champion- ship.

Of course, Miss Helen Wills is the woman’s champion, but it is my notion that this is due to no slight extent to the fact that Mile. Suzanne Lenglen . turned professional. I am inclined to belleve with Little Bill Johnston that Mile. Lenglen is about one of the greatest tennis players of all time. The French supremacy was predicted a few years ago by Miss Mary K. Brown. She said during one tournament at the Racing Club in Paris: “The i g5 g all of . e and the Cup, and to all of g, g : have the temperament for tennis, It is their game.

It seems to me that in repulsing the vicious attack of Mickey Walker on my light-heavyweight champion- ship I cleaned up my division well enough to be let go unhampered in my quest of heavyweight honors for the next few months. They've given me every type of boxer to meet; and since this was my thirty-sixth straight win, there fsn't much argument about my right to go against any one, I think. There also isn't any doubt in my mind concerning the fact that I can do more effective work at a higher poundage. There is one thing I know—getling down to weight was an arduous task.

RECORDS SHATTERED IN SWIMMING TESTS By ‘the Assoclated Press. ST. LOUIS, March 30.—Despite weariness from a night of competition, college tank stars ended last night’s preliminaries in the national collegiate swimming meet in Wilson pool at Washington University with four rec- ords broken, two marks set in early heats being lowered again. Ted Moles of Princeton tled his own intercollegiate mark in setting a new collegiate record by stroking the 200- yard breast stroke in 2:57.4. Okera, Chicago, in the 50-yard free style, with a ‘record sprint of 24.2, sprang a sur- prise. Records to be twice broken included the 150-yard backstroke, when Hinch of Northwestern set & new mark of 1:444, only to have George Kojac of Rautgers clip 3 other seconds off, making it'In 1:41 flat. In the evening's final event Hinch, Peterson and Schwartz, who had already qualified in other classes, formed North- western’s 300-yard medley relay team to lower the record to 3:16.4, only to see Kojac, Marquette and Dryfuss of Rut- nose ‘out the Princeton team for an even lower mark of 3:16 flat.

With the season’s opening two weeks away, he appears to have landed a regular job with the Giants LOUGHRAN LACKING Battle With Walker Leads to . 9 . Belief He'll Lose His Light-Heavy Crown. BY FAIR PLAY. HICAGO, March 30.—Tommy Loughran's reign as king of the light heavywelghts is sorely threatened by several of the younger crop of fighters now bidding for a crack at his crown. As a boxer Loughran stands out like a lighthouse in a stormy sea. As a fighter, the Philadelphian leaves much to be desired. Judging Loughran and what he showed against Mickey Walker, the opinion persists that he is not to reign as king of his class longer than he will be permitted by the governing boards of boxing. Loughran’s chances among the heavy- weights are a matter of extreme doubt and reflection. Against big, slow-mov- ing men Tommy might be able to stand off and cut them to pieces betide him if a healthy wallop lands on a vital sopt. If little Walker can make Tommy's head swim and cause him to hold on tight until he gets his bearings, then what will he do when a big fellow hits him! In gaining the decision over Walker, Loughran has not enhanced his chances as a potential champion of the heavy- weights. During the past year Lough- ran’s success promised much. Playing around the lighter title has hurt his chances of success because his growing years have added solid flesh to his frame and in reducing to retain his 175-pound title he impaired his: other- wise healthy condition. Building up Loughran has done during the past year added heft to his punch. The strain, mental and physical, has taken its toll, and Loughran is in a bad fix. Tuffy Griffith showed a decidedly superior brand of milling in winning over Leo Lomski. James J. Braddock has a knockout to his credit over Grif- fith. James also scored a knockdown over Lomski. Griffith undoubtedly will get the return match he is seeking with Braddock and the winner can be tagged as the next light heavyweight champion.

Defend Their Duckpin Titles Tonight OUR champions of last year, all from Washington, will attempt to retain their titles tonight when the final games of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress tour- nament are rolled at Richmond. ‘The King Pin team of the District and National Capital Leagues, captained by Howard Campbell, will strive to beat the top score of 1812 hung up by the Reereation quint of Baltimore. Campbell must shoot 1,142 at least to keep the all-events crown. The Com- mercials of the Washington Ladies’ League have a mark of 1,572 to shoot at, it having been established by the King Pins of the District Ladies’ League. Al PFischer, the singles champion, has probably the toughest assignment. His target is the score of 430 made by Jack Whalen, the Convention Hall ace. Tonight's schedule brings together many of the strongest bowlers of Wash- ington and New England of both sexes. The crack teéams from Washington include the Curb Cafe, King Pin, Meyer Davis, Arcadia, Stanford Paper Co. and Parkway Filling Station, men, and Com- mercial, Convention Hall, Lucky Strike and King Pin, women. Bradley Mandley will be probably the Capital’s most conspicucus individual. He is on the way to establishing an | all-time record for average in the Dis- | trict League and is the Campbell sweep- stakes champion. He has about clinched the No. 1 position in the Wash- ington City Duckpin Association rankings. ¥ Baltimore lately has forged ahead of Washington in two of the women's events, Lottie Taylor taking the lead in singles with 339 and Mabel Shaw and Margaret Holliday totaling 616 to step to the front in doutles, ‘These scores dampen the hope of Washington bowlers to inake a grand cleanup on titles. If Jack Whalen’s 430 fcore isn't beat- en tonight the Conven:ion Hall wizard will collect $75 along %ith the singles championship and a diamond medal. The King Pin girls appear destin®f to finish around fourth in the District La- dies’ League, but they have been the strongest team in the circuit for the 185t | month. The King Pins have scored sie- cessive victories over the three lendirg teams, the Arcadian, Recreation and Meyer Davis. Lucille Preble is the Kirg Pin captain. Her playmates are Pauline Ford, Mabel Williams, Millic Ruscell iand Mrs. W, H. Miltner; Ray Cross, the sonie League st~ tary, raises the question of whether fte Washington City Duckpin Associalen ranking committee should consiaef star’s personality. “I've known a number of high-class bowlers,” says he, “whose crabby ways ruined team morale and made them more of a liability than an asset.” It is unlikely that the committee will | deal in personalitics, however. To quote one membei: “That would leave the way open to serious and disagreeable complications.” A prize fund of $3,500, undreamed of | by the Washington City Duckpin Asso- ciation leaders not meny years ago, is a | possibility this vear, according to Secre~ | tary Arville Ebersole. An entry of 350 | teams is hoped for with a proportionate ! number of doubles and singles. Full Season of Golf Events On Tap for Argyle Linksmen COMPREHENSIVE golf schedule, stretching from April 20 through mid-November, is offered by the golf committee for the members of the Argyle Country Cilub.
