C trouble in swinging into line for the 1930 campaign the younger members of his Nationals, but already he finds one of the younger set bucking. pitcher picked up by the ‘Washington prexy last Spring. is not satisfied with the terms he then accepted and wants a somewhat better break. But this isn't worrying Griffith. He has informed Savidge there’ll be no change in the contract and that's that. Grifith usually wins such arguments. In fact, the Washington club probably would not be dealt any severe blow should Savidge decide not to continue to give it his services. The big blond boy appeared a pretty good pitching Fmspect when first he showed his wares n batting drills here, but he was not with the club long before it was quite evident he needed much more schooling before he could be regarded as worthy of serious consideration as a big leaguer. So perhaps the Nationals could struggle along without him, although Griffith is by no means inclined to let the young | fellow get away altogether. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LARK GRIFFITH has said he does not anticipate much ‘When accepted by the club last Spring, | 1as Savidge was signed to a three-year con- | tract that allows him to wait until May | 1 each season to report. It seemed that Don asked for this that he might carry on with his college work. He also re- ceived a bonus when he signed. Re-| cently Savidge wrote Griffith he was | willing to report with others of the club at the start of Spring practice if a raise was forthcoming. But Griffith turned thumbs down on this and will continue the May 1 provision. Overlooks No Slabmen. At first consideration, it appears Sav- idge showed so little during his_trial last season that the Nationals might let him go outright. But Griffith does not intend to overlook any pitching pos- sibility he has at hand now. The Na- tionals are sorely in need of strength- ening on the slab and anything they have that resembles a pitcher even slightly will get a pretty good trial either in the big show or under option with some reputable minor club. This option loophole may become the way out of the big show for a time of FEdward Wineapple, the husky left- handed collegian the Nationals gather- ed from Providence last Summer. Ed | in a few efforts on the hill did not break any records in the American | League, but he flashed a 1 of pitch- | ing stuff and Griffith believes the south- | paw may amount to something worth | while, Joe Engel, Chattanooga president, | has asked his Washington boss to helpi him to the extent of lending Wineapple to | the Lookouts, and that Griffith may do. As ths N als’ prexy sees it, Wine- apple migat be much better off getting | regular workouts in the Southern Asso- | ciation instead of sitting on the bem:l’\I in the American League. Seems reason- | able, too. Few pitchers are made with- out practical experience. Theory is fine, but it's the flinger who gets out and pumps the ball to the batters in a real game who picks up the fine points of | the pitching art. Wineapple might do far worse than pitch for Chattanooga. Eight Young Mound Prospects. | In all, the Washington club now has | eight young pitching prospects under its wing if several who have been with it a season or more are included. Griffith | 2o still regards Bob Burke, the string- ean southpaw, and Lioyd Brown, an- other of forkhand persuasion, who have been wearing National uniforms for some time, as virtually untried young- | sters. And Griffith still has hope of | this pair of left-handers coming through for him. | And Adolph Liska and Paul McCul- lough, who were bagged from the American Association after the 1928 season, are still to be rated in the yecruit class.

BY H. C. BYRD. | GENTLEMANLY and scholarly game, far removed from some of the realistic combats that years ago were played between Catholic University and Mary. land, might best describe the basket | ball ‘last night at College Park that, after a lapse of five years, formally marked a resumption of athletic rela- tionships between the two universities. It was a game marked by good sports- manship, a fine consideration on the part of players for their opponents aad in general an excellent exhibition of pla; Maryland had the betier men and won by 37 to 30, because it played better basket ball. It was only a few minutes after the ame began that Maryland jumped to the front and kept there until the fin- jsh. In fact, its margin was much greater at times than the 7 points ty which it won. Shortly defore the game ended Maryland was holding a lead in points almost double the score of the ‘Brooklanders, but with the advent of several second-string men, with some of the varsity gone to the showers, Catholic U. started a scoring spree tuat, it it had had much farther to go, might have spelled disaster for Mary- nd. In the last few minutes the Brook- land players began to rain goals through the basket and their score jumped from 16 points to 30 so fast | that Maryland supporters began to look anxiously around. The bang of the gun marking the ending of the game closed what was one of the finest rallies ever made on a Maryland court. Fourteen Old Liners Play. Coach Shipley, after the first few minutes, began switching his players in and out so fast that it was hard to keep track of substitutions. By the time the game ended 14 Old Liners had seen service. Catholic U., on the other hand, was content to keep its regular five going, with only one substitution. However, it simply was not a charac- | teristic C. U. five, the material being | far below the caliber of some of the | men who have in former years worn | the red and black. i Gaylor of Maryland and Oliver of | C. U. led in the scoring. men | seemed able to drop the ball in the | basket from almost any angle when- ever they got a shot. Gaylor marked up 12 of his team’s points, while Oliver made 10. Gaylor's were divided into five goals from the floor and two from the foul line, while Oliver got two from the foul line and four from the floor. ‘The game, while well played, did not occasion much enthusiasm. Maryland was too far in front most of the time. The Old Liners seemed so much the better outfit-that had Fred Rice been the best coach in the world and Bur- ton Shipley the worst, which he isn't by any means, still Maryland would have won. And with Shipley about as good a coach as anybody, and with bet- ter material than his opponent, the re- sult of the game was just a matter of what difference there might be in the score.

EW YORK, January 11.—From a list of 10 star golf players named today, a team of eight will be selected to sail for Eng- land in April to make the Walker Cup, emblem of intcrnational team su- premacy, safe for America. The sixth Walker Cup series will be played at Sandwich, May 15-16. Those named to support Capt. Bobby Jones are Harrison R. Johnston, George Von Elm, Francis Ouimet, Dr. O. F. Willing, George Voigt, Jess W. Sweetser. and Donald K. Moe. Alternates in order _ are Roland Mackenzie of Washington and Maurice McCarthy, jr., Georgetown, University star. Eight players will go to England for the competition at singles and four- somes. The alternates will be called to the golf colors only if any of the first eight cannot make the voyage. Jones, Johnston, Von Elm, Ouimet, willing and Sweetser are Walker Cup team veterans. Sweetser and Ouimet have been members of all five of thar} teams, Jones was absent only in 1923/%2 The 1930 participation will be the third for Von Elm and Willing. Willing, however, has not played since 1924, Mackenzie, too, has played on two of the international teams. Voigt and Moe are the only new-. comers. McCarthy was an alternate in 1928. Voigt, after a .« i2s of successes in 1928, found the going harder last season and was able to win only one important title, the North and South amateur, Moe won the Western amateur, Champions on Team. The team invading England will in< clude champions and ex-champions.- Jores is the open champion. Johnston amateur champion, Von Elm former amateur champlon, Ouimet former open and amateur champion, Sweetser for- mer amateur champion of the United States and Great Britain. Dr. Willing was runner-up in the lasé amateur championship and former Oregon open title holder. Three of the previous international meetings have been in the United States | and two In Great Britain.

H. H. Ramsay, vice president of the U. 8. G.

He said that ignorance of the law cannot be offered as a defense. Harold B. Chase, Worcester, Mass, and. W. C. Miller, Greensboro, N. C., com- pleted the brief discussion.
