Features and Classified PAGE D—1 Griffs HaveFine Recordin Exhibitions : Garden Head and Max’s Pilot Renew Feud ARE VICTORS IN 13 00T O 15 GANES = Success in Spring Tilts Is Expected to Develop a Winning Spirit. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ICHMOND, Va. April 10.— Spring exhibition games do not count in the American League flag chase, but winning them should help a club. Buccess in these practice con- tests is likely to develop a winning irit and so successful have been the Nationals in such contests thus far they should carry plenty of fight into the championship campaign that opens next Mon- day in Griffith Stadium. Up to today 15 exhibitions have been played by Manager Walter Johnson's charges. In 13 the Washington club finished on the long end of the count. True, most of the opposition was of minor league caliber, but generally high- class opposition at that. ~Including to- day’s game here with the Braves, but four tilts remain on the Washington exhibition schedule, so, regardless of what happens in them, the Nationals will finish their training with a fine rec- ord for their pre-season battling. Of 10 engagements with minor organ- izations, the Nationals bagged eight. New Orleans of the class A Southern Association and Louisville of the class AA, American Association, were drubbed at Biloxl. Birmingham, Dixie, as well as Southern Association, champion, was licked in two of three meetings. The Natlonals broke even in a two-game series with Memphis, a strong Southern Association representative. Chattanooga, ‘Washington's “farm” club, was trimmed three times in as many starts. ‘While at Chattanooga, Johnson’s men tackled the second-string combination of the New York Giants and gave it a good drubbing. Not quite a major league outfit, this New York second team, but perhaps somewhat stronger than some of the minor clubs the big league aggregations have been tussling with this Spring. Four in Row Over Braves. Against major league opposition, the Nationals’ record up to today is per- fect. The Washington club has en- countered the Braves four times and handed them as many lickings. Its latest triumph over the Hub outfit was not so artistic as decisive, but it was a triumph, nevertheless, and that is what the club is after in this exhibi- tion barnstorming. With the count against them, 19 to 13, at the finish of the pastiming in Norfolk yesterday, the Braves knew they were well beaten. ‘Through with the Braves after today, the Nationals will turn to the minors again for opposition until the time ar- rives to face the Red Sox in the sea- son inaugural. Tomorrow afternoon Johnson's forces will invade Baltimore for a brush with Fritz Maisel's Orioles, champions of the International League. It will be the opener of a two-game set, for the Orioles are to visit Griffith Sta- dium Saturday for a contest. Sunday Rochester will be Washington guests. Manager Johnson has nominated Adolph Liska, promising submariner, for the pitching job in Baltimore. Ad already has gone a full route and he is to try another. He may find the battling somewhat rough tomorrow, for the Birds are, or have been, a hard- hitting flock. Liska, though, seems in good trim and is likely to give a splen- did account of himself. It will be his last showing in the exhibitions. 0Old Army Base Ball ‘That clash at Norfolk between Na- tionals and Braves was purely of the old Army type of base ball. It was a matter of standing toe to toe, giving and tak- ing, and may the better hitter win. And the Washington club proved the | better hitter all around. It made 22 safeties against 18 registered by the Hubmen. The Nationals’ hits were good for 41 bases and the Braves’ for 32. ‘The Natlonals smote 4 homers, 7 doubles and 11 singles. Every one in their line-up, except Fred Marbury, crashed the hit column. George Loepp, Sam Rice, Ossie Bluege and Muddy Ruel got three hits each. The Braves whacked two homers, one triple, six doubles and nine singles. Frank Welsh, Randy Moore and Al Spohrer, with three each, were the leaders of the Hub attack. It was a trick park in which the game was played, for the half dozen homers were mostly lofts that likely would have been bagged on a big league field, especially on one the size of that in Grifith Stadium. Goose Goslin, Carlos Moore, Buddy Myer and Ruel contributed the Nationals’ round-trip- pers. Welsh was responsible for both credited to the Braves. All Pitchers Are Pounded. ‘Two pitchers were used by each side and every pitcher took a good thump- ing. Marberry went the first five rounds for the Nationals and was nicked for eight hits and five runs.

BRAVES GIVE MONEY, PLAYER FOR GRIMES the Associated Press. ByBOS'IGON, April 10.—Burleigh Grimes, right handed ace of the Pirates’ pitch- ing staff for two years, today is a mem- ber of the Boston Braves. Percy Lee Jones and a “large cash consideration’ were given by the Boston club in exchange. Oflmges, one of the few remaining spitball pitchers in the big leagues. came to terms with President Emil Fuchs after he had been a Pirate hold- out all Spring. His demands for & $20,000 salary and a two-year contract were not met by the Pittsburgh club officials. Fuchs said the payment was the sec- ond largest ever given by the Braves for a ball player. Two years ago he de- clared he gave the New York Giants $100,000 for Rogers Hornsby, whom he later traded to the Chicago Cubs. Two years ago With the Pirates Grimes won 25 and lost 14 games and last year won 17 and lost 7. He was traded to the Pirates by the Giants after he had been a holdout in the Spring of 1928, pJon!e.s, a left-handed pitcher, won 7 and lost 15 games with the Braves last year. He came from the Chicago Cubs in the Hornsby deal. Grimes went to Hot Springs, Ark. this Spring at his own expense to train and came here directly to deal with the Braves' management. An agreement was reached with President Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates over the tele- phone. CHICAGO, April 10 (P —Chicago Cub base ball fans are disappointed that Pittsburgh didn't trade or sell Bur- leigh Grimes to the Cubs instead of the Boston Braves, but they are glad the spitballer no longer is with the Pirates. The Cubs managed to get one decision | over Grimes last season while he was working for their closest rivals. The fans figure Burleigh will not be so hard to beat as a Brave hurler, and that he | will defeat Pittsburgh as often as he | beats the Cubs. PmSBUHO!{ April 10 (P) —Pitts- burgh base ball fans were stunned to- day by the news that Burleigh Grimes, ace of the Pirates’ pitching_staff, had been_traded to the Boston Braves. It was known here the breach between the spitball artist and his employers had not lessened despite numerous confer- ences throughout the late Winter months, but the trade was wholly un- looked for. President Barney Dreyfuss said he looked upon the trade as the best way out of the difficulty.

Y., April 10 (P).— Horace Lisenbee, former Wash- ington pitcher, who was of lit- tle value to the Boston ‘Red Sox last year because of a sore arm, has about convinced Manager Helnle Wag- ner that he will be able to take his regular turn on the mound this season. Horace will have his final chance be- fore the season starts to prove his worth today. Wagner has selected him to face the Brooklyn Dodgers in the first of a two-game serles. PHILADELPHIA, April 10 (®.— Robert Moses Grove, the ..thletics’ left- handed speed merchant, is due for a T | big season this year, in the opinion of Manager Mack. He declares that Lefty's fire ball is faster than ever. “Why, it gives me a sore arm just to see him shoot that fast ball,” Mack said as his ace warmed up for a bout with the Phillies in the city series. “One of the biggest satisfactions of my base ball life is that I bought Grove for the Athletics. We certainly would be up against it if he was with an opposing team. He has all the stuff any pitcher ever had—more speed than any other moundsman—and he knows how to use it.” * BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 10 (#).— En route homeward at last, the Cleve- land Indlans pitched their wigwams here today for a two-day stand against the Birmingham Barons. Saturday and Sunday they will be in Cincinnati for a two-game engagement with their fellow Ohio big leaguers as a final tune-up for the opener with the White Sox. ‘Wes Ferrell, one of the tribe’s main hopes, was slated to hurl the whole way against the Barons today. ‘TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 10 (#).— The Detroit Tigers and the Toronto International League club today made this city their last stop on their barn- storming journey to the home park at Detroit, where the Tigers will conclude their pre-season play with games to- morrow and Sunday.

BY PAUL MICKELSON, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, April 10.—Major league base ball, slightly groggy since the World War depleted its ranks and interrupted its an- nual supply of young talent, has re- covered from its shock and will boom louder than ever during the next five years, President Ernest Barnard of the American League predicted today. “I'll frankly admit that the class of major league base ball since the World ‘War hasn't been equal to that as dis- played in the years between 1905 and 1916,” President Barnard said, “but we have caught up now, and despite the attractions of the golf links and foot ball fields, sports lovers will again real- ize that base ball is the great national game. “So disastrous was the war and its after effects that major or minor league clubs had difficulty obtaining high- class players at any price. The war took young men's minds off the game, and those with natural talent forgot about our great game, and we lost at least 100 finished players. But that’s all past now. We are getting faster and better players, the game has been speef ed up to its former class, and we a destined to have tighter pennant races from now on. Base ball will come into its own once more.” President Barnard is optimistic over the prospects of a tight flag race in the American League this year and ex- pects the loop to draw over 5,000,000 spectators for the first time since 1925. “While Philadelphia looks to be the strongest in the league this year, don't think Connie Mack's boys are going to have a walk-away,” he prophesied. “The Athletics won last year because all their pitchers went good. But will they all go 50 good this year? “The Yankees look to be a vastly improved team and should extend the Athletics to the limit. They have im- proved their club immensely with Chap- man at third base and they have two young pitchers who may hand the American League a big surprise this year. “Cleveland, too, looks good. The Indians finished like champions after a | bad start in 1929. The odds are they won't have such a poor start and that they will play a more certain, smoother brand of base ball this season. “The White Sox and Detroit Tigers have improved themselves more than any other clubs in the league and that means they will help shave off some games from the big lead every one thinks the Athletics are going to get on the rest of them. “St. Louis should be better, too. I don’t know much about ‘Washington and Boston, but they should do better than a year ago.” There have been no hanges in the playing rules since 1926 in the junior circuit and will be none in 1930, Presi- dent Barnard said, but a meeting undoubtedly will be called for the Spring of '931 to consider more alterations. 1928 | in the Capital City League will be held BELL WON' PLAY SEASON FOR CUBS Arm Has Failed to Improve and Blair Is Assigned to Third Base. ANSAS CITY, April 10 (P)— Manager Joe McCarthy of the Chicago Cubs has given Lester Bell up as his third baseman when the National League champions open at St. Louls next week. Bell's throwing arm hasn't improved & bit in three weeks and Clarence Blair is down for the assignment. The Cubs today faced the Kansas City Blues, for the first game of their final Spring training series. Sheriff Fred Blake was assigned to pitch for the Cubs. MOBILE, Ala., April 10 (#).—Percy Jones, southpaw pitcher obtained by the Pittsburgh Pirates from the Boston Braves in exchange for Burleigh Grimes, spitball holdout, and a bundle of cash, will report to Manager Jewel Ens at New Orleans Friday or Saturday. Ens announced today he plans to carry three southpaws through the sea- son. Jess Petty and Larry French are the other two. FORT WAYNE, Ind, April 10 (#).— Manager John McGraw today's desires included, not only a first-rate second baseman and a top-notch outfielder or two, but a few base hits by his New York Giants in general. ‘The Giants’ “master mind” has been casting about for the first two named | articles since the start of the training season, but today he turned his interests to finding the latter. Against Ancient Red Faber of the White Sox, his 1930 pennant hopefuls were able to make only one hit in seven innings yesterday. ST. LOUIS, April 10 (#).—Only one alling player was among the 29 St. Louis Cardinals who wended their way to the home stamping grounds from the Florida Spring battlefields today. He is Ernle Orsatti, who sprained an ankle last week, and will probably be unfl't‘ for regular sentry duty for another w eek. President Sam Breadon admitted last night that Manager John McGraw of the New York Giants had made an overture for one of the Cards’ right- hand hitting outfielders. Breadon de- clared, however, the Red Birds would not part with Douthit, who was benched last week during a batting slump. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 10 (#).—Al Eckert, southpaw hurler from Peoria, 1, is going to have another oppor- tunity to show his wares before Dan Howley, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, decides what to do with him. Howley plans to start him against the Cleveland Indians at Cincinnati in | one of the two games scheduled there Saturday and Sunday. If he goes as well as he has been it is considered likely he will be retained on the Red | squad. Howley has to dispose of 3 pitchers out of 13, but has not made his choice. | e MIDGET TEAMS GATHER A meeting of midget teams interested tonight at 8 o'clock in the District | Building and at the same time and place tomorrow night there will be a | meeting of the unlimited teams.

EW YORK, April 10.—Presi- dent W. F. Carey of Madi- son Square Garden and Joe Jacobs, manager of Max Schmeling, had not been in town from foreign parts more than a few hours before they re- newed their feud of last Summer with all its old acerbity. Carey and Jacobs fell out last Sum- mer when Schmeling refused to go thmufh with a fight with Sharkey fa Detroit under Garden auspices after the Garden had defled the boxing com- mission’s orders to lay off Jacobs and Schmeling. At that time the Garden boss de- clared that Jacobs and all his fighters would be kept out of the Eighth avenue temple of swat as long as Carey was in control. ‘The milk fund show June 12 seemed to provide a graceful opportunity of wiping out old scores. Though the charity organization is the ostensible promoter of the Schmeling-Sharkey bout, the Garden really is handling it. Carey Adamant. Jacobs apparently was in a mood to forgive and forget and upon the invitation of newspaper men he visited the Garden with a batch of pictures of Herr Max. When Carey walked in the two were expected to smile at each other and gracefully bring their feud to_an end. However, when Carey arrived, he soon made it clear that he had not changed his mind regarding Jacobs. “Joe Jacobs will not sign any Madi- son Square Garden contracts” stated the Garden boss. “I said that a year ago and it still goes.” Carey then went on to make it clear that the ban on the manager would not prevent the use of his fighters wvldefl they signed their own con- cts. ‘When Jacobs was informed of this angle on using his fighters he flared up. “I won't allow the Garden to use any of my fighters unless I sign the con- tracts, and that's that,” remarked Jacobs. “If Max Schmeling wins the title when he boxes Sharkey the Gar- den will have to get along without him unless they do business with me. And that's that.” - All this sounds much worse, no doubt, than it really is. If Schmeling wins the title and the Garden wants to use him in September against whoever happens to be the outstanding contender it is dollars to doughnuts that a way to do it will be found. Could Shun New York. If Schmeling should emerge from his combat with Sharkey as the heavy- weight king the balance of power would rest with Jacobs. There would be only one champion, but more than one spot for the champion to fight. As Jacobs points out. Chicago probably would be a better spot for Maxie, what with its large number of citizens of German descent, than New York. Joe also re- minds the world that both Chicago and Barber & Ross, Inc. N.W.

Jacobs vigorously denied that Schmel- | ing was out of condition or that he ever had an injured thumb. “Schmeling hired a villa about an hour’s ride from Berlin in February and on the last day of the month he started training there,” he said. “Max worked every day until we started on our exhibition tour of Germany on March 20.
