S PORTS. NG STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1930. SPORT S Holdout Fine of $100 Awaits Goslin : Cubs Again Stand Out in National Loop GRIFF NOT HARSH DEALING PENALTY = Base Ball Law Is FollowedjR by Nationals’ Magnate. | BY JOHN B. KELLER. Team Shows Punch. HATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 24.—Leon Allen Gos- lin, Washington outfielder, who has refused to accept what he considers an “insulting” offer of $10,000 with a provision for an increase should he improve in play for his services this year, | will have his pocketbook hit even | though he decides to sign on the| 4 dotted line and don the uniform | D of the Nationals again. | It is now two weeks past the time the Goose was ordered to report at training camp and less than three weeks to the opening of the American League cam- . It is held unlikely that Goslin, should he accept the club's offer lnd‘ i:ln the squad even tonight could get to proper playing form before the flag race starts. And President Clark Grif- fith has intimated that the Goose now will have to train at his own expense should he fall in line and would not be put on the pay roll that starts April 14 until he satisfies his manager he is in condition to take .the field. Griff Not Drastic. Griffith has let it be known he does not intend to deal harshly with Goslin. He wili inflict no special punishment on the player, who has not even been in communication with the club since re- fusing to report. The Washington ex- ecutive intends only to follow major e base ball rules in dealing with the Goose. These rules provide that: “Any player under contract or reser- vation to any club who shall fail to re- port within three days at the point he &hall be ordered to report may be fined $100, provided that the club shall give me player at least one week’s notice of the time he is to report. Any player not reporting as above ordered must get into condition at his own expense and his salary not to commence until he is in condition to the satisfaction of the club maanger 'A) participate in cham- pionship games.” President Griffith feels he has been ‘!:"g l]enlel;l‘t in (l)dofl)::! e‘::e Under e rules he coul ve jposed the $100 fine on Goslin nearly two weeks aw. He held off, howzver hopl Tgem hu been no h -o ‘the club cxecutlve !.hlnks it 'ell m take full ad- of the major league code. Now Goslin, should he de- earlier the contract which called for ::nooo less than the Goose got last sea- Old Fox Adamant. Griffith hopes Goslin will see fit to sign. But it is fairly certain the Prexy will not yield a point in his present stand to get the player back in the far as the Washington Ball Club is con- cerned, it seems. Having played three exhibition games in as many days the Nationals now will be out of competition until Wednesday, when they will engage the Lookouts here again. They will not be idle in the meantime, though, for Manager Walter Johnson scheduled morning drills for today and tomorrow. The workouts will be long, too. Although the air here is more than cool at pres- ent, there is plenty of sunlight and a dry field for practice. So the pilot plans to have his men make up some of the time lost during the damp and foggy spell that curtailed the daily toil during the latter part of the club's stay in Biloxi. The Nationals now have a record of four wins and one loss for their exhibi- their | gianley Cup date, registering fourth win yelterdny in Engel Stadium when they trimmed the Lookouts for the second successive time. The score was 7 to 1. The club showed more of = punch than previously, too. For the first time in the exhibitions it was able {nings when it had the paths. At that, though, 13 Nationals ‘were stranded. In all, the Johnson band collected 14 safeties off Jack Knott, right-hander, and Ed Wineapple, the southpaw_slab man optioned by the Nationals to Chat- tanooga. Eight of the hits and two runs were made off Wineapple, who pitched the last five innings of the game. was much faster than his predecessor on the hill, but inclined to be some- ! what wild. None of the four he fssued, though, figured in the Nationals® Three Pitchers Effective. Oarlos Moore, Ad Liska and Lioyd | Rani Brown each hurled three innings for the Nationals and performed im- Nzit.her Moore nor Brown but the Lookouts nicked ka {or two safeties in his starting frame, the fourth, before he settled m work. Liska also issued & pair of and Brown gave one. Moore ked much better than at Birmingham last Priday, when the Barons all but knocked off his ears. George Loepp went to right field be- esuse Johnson wanted to give the vet- eran Sam Rice a rest, and George cele- brated by whacking a double and & single and poling a long sacrifice and walking twice in five trips to the plate. He also made two fancy catches in the early battling and once dashed many yards to get under a foul. Altogether George had a very satisfactory day. It ‘was a fine one, too, for Sam West. He socked two singles ‘and a triple, getting one of the singles off the left-handed Wineapple, Between them Loepp and ‘West, gathered five of the Nationals’ seven markers, Ossie Bluege and Jimmy McLeod, who shared the third-basing %t;b got two hits each, one of Bluege's ing good for three bases. It was a single by West, & pass to Yoepp and a two-base wild chuck by Becond Baseman Dashiel after Ecklnl up Barnes’ grounder that gave t| t\onus a marker in round 1.

By the Associated Press, EW YORK, March 24.—O0ld Johnny Risko of Cleveland gets a chance tonight to prove to the New York State Athletic Commission that he is not too small to beat Victorio Campolo of the Ar- gentine. Risko battles Campolo in the 10- round feature of Madison Square Gar- den’s charity show. Not many weeks ago the New York commission turned thumbs down when the Garden sought to match Risko and Campolo. In the commission’s opinion, Risko was entirely too small to tackle the 6 foot 6 inch South American. ‘The Garden took the fight to Miami and Risko spent an enjoyabie evening cuffing Campolo about. Kid McPart- land, the referee, called it a draw, but most, sports writers credited Risko with winning 8 of the 10 rounds. ‘The Cleveland trial horse, who has beaten most of the first-rate heavy- weights in his long ring career, rules S l:l;:cd favorite to whip Campolo to- night. Harry Smith, Harlem Negro, meets Charley Belanger, Winnipeg light- heavyweight, in the 10-round semi-final and Doc Conrad, Newark middleweight, takes on Vincent Forgione of Philadel- phia in the first 10. ‘The Garden also will welcome the faithful on Priday when Jimmy McLar- battles young Jack Thompson, Negro welterweight from San Francisco. Other outstanding bouts on the na- tional schedule this week include a 10-rounder between George Godfrey and Roy Ace Clark, Negro heavy- wel(hm at Philadelphia tonllhl a bat- tle between Primo Carnera and George Trafton, pro foot ball player, at Kan- sas City Wednesday, and another be- tween Benny Bass, Philadelphia, and Eddie Shea, Chicago, at St. Louis Fri- day night. » EASTER HERO OUT OF GRAND NATIONAL By the Associated Press. WANTAGE, England, March 24—J. R. Anthony, trainer for J. H. Whitney, today stated that Easter Hero had been scratched from the Grand National, last week’s Jameness having returned. Easter Hero, which was a favorite for the famous steeplechase which will be run on Friday at Aintree, developed lameness several days after winning the Gold Cup at Cheltenbam about 10 days | ago and has been under the care of a veterinary ever since. Last week it appeared that the lame- ness had worked out and Easter Hero had several fine gallops, at the end of which he drew up in good condition. In last year's race he finished second to Gregalach, an outsider, who is an- other favorite for this year's famous chase.
