- The Foening Star. WASHINGTON, D. Q. FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1930. * Classified Ads PAGE D-—1 Johnson Demonstrating Authority as Pilot : Pitchers Display Edge on Batters Unlimited Class Diamond Play To Cover Wide Area This Y ear BARNEY REAL BOSS, JONES CASE SiOWS Thomas and Marberry Face A’s in Philly—Brown Toils Here Sunday. P manager, he’ll run the Washington base ball club. That's certain. At times thought too lenient with recalcitrant play- ers, too easy-going in matters qr‘ discipline, Johnson, through his| action in the Sam Jones case, has let the world know his word is law for the Nationals. Veteran as well as rookie must heed the Washington manager. Johnson might have dealt more harshly with Jones. He might have suspended the pitcher immediately for the angry protest in the presence of other Washington players against the manager’s orders on the field in Boston Wednesday. Instead Johnson only sent Jones back to Washington to think things over, although suspension will follow if the pitcher does not prove more tractable when the club returns to_its home lot. The manager feels, however, that the reprimand is sufficiently severe to make the other players realize they must obey him or suffer punishment. And he hints that in the future punishment will_be more severe. “I am running this ball club and I want every player under my direction to know it, too,” said Johnson this morning. “There may be times when I do not run it to the satisfaction of some of the players, but it is not their t to disobey my orders. I am re- sponsible for the conduct of the club only to President Griffith. He has given me full authority over the players | and I aim to exercise this authority. “I do not mean by this that I will be unduly severe in handling them. I know that at times certain orders may irk @ player. I was a player myself many years and understand just how the player feels about such matters. But when a player thinks he has a Teasonable kick against how the manager is handling him he should find a better way to make a protest than do so in an angry manner before other players, That will not go on this club as long as I am at the head of it. Criticized Last Year. “I was criticized last year by fans— some friendly, some otherwise—as being too easy with players in matters of dis- cipline,” Johnson went on. “Well, maybe I was at times, but I don't be- lieve I let any player get out of hand. And I don’t intend to do so this year— not- by a long shot. Every man with the club must work for his club and must respect his manager’s orders. If he doesn’t, trouble will follow. It will not be slight trouble, either. “A ball club is something more than a collection of players,” declared the manager. “It's a collection of players hustling every minute on the field for the good of the organization, boosting one another and with all following or- ders without question, even though they may think the orders questionable. It's a collection of players plus spirit. That's the only kind of a ball club that gets here, and it's the kind of a ball club I intend to have.” Ordinarily Johnson is a man of few words. When he discourses at such length as he has on his idea of han- dling a club, one may be sure he means business. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADEPHIA, April 18.—As| long as Walter Johnson is| Jones Remains Silent. Before leaving for Washington yes- terday Jones had nothing to say regard- ing the reprimand other than that he never had had any such trouble before in his base ball career. Sam is start- ing his seventeenth season in the Amer- ican League. He pitched for the In- dians, Red Sox, Yankees and Browns before joining the Nationals. This is|. his third year with the Washington club. Jones is to work out daily in Grifith Stadium while the Nationals are on the road. Manager Johnson plans to send Myles ‘Thomas and Fred Marberry against the Athletics in the games here today and tomorrow, starting with Thomas this afternoon. He has Lloyd Brown in reserve for the Sunday battle with the Yankees in Washington, and when the Nationals visit here again next Monday he intends to have Irving Had- ley fire at the world champions. Too cold in Boston yesterday for base ball. All the natives were bundled in furs at noon time, so the Red Sox man- agement called off the game. It will be played when the Nationals visit Beantown eatly in July. PIRATES, 7; REDS, 1. AT CINCINNATIL. Pittsb'gh. ABH.QA. Cincin Flagst'd,cf. 5 1 3 0 Critz.2b. G'tham.2b 2 2 2 Allenicf P.Waner.rf.

Beaver Dam has just inaugurated a new and complete caddie system, de- signed to bring the regulation and con- trol of caddies at the Landover institu- tion in line with the best standards of Make Body Work With the Hands BY SOL METZGER. “Never mind about making the hands work with the body. Make the body work with the hands,” said a golf instructor to me. The hands and how they grip the club pretty much determines the stroke. Ernest Jones, instructor at the Wom- en’s National Links, brings out interesting points in this connec- tion. “You must sense the clubhead fiumns MusT SENSE. CLUBHEAD with the hands,” could well be his slogan. That's what a cowboy does with the loop of his lasso. Try swinging a ball about your head on a string. Here we have centrifugal force. Now the speed of the ball in this case is accomplished by the hands. You use no power to gain it. Same with the golf swing. The idea in golf is to swing through the ball with the clubhead. Paul Scott, pro at the Montecito C. C., figures that the head of the club swings in an arc of 16 feet before meeting the ball and that the dis- tance you drive it is gained solely by clubhead speed. About all in- structors agree on this point, so let us look into this matter of the grip in succeeding articles. Putting is half the game.- Good putters score low.

David Cameron has been installed as caddie masy to have complete control over the youthful bag-toters, some of whom are students at Maryland University out to pick up spending money, and others sons of farmers in the Landover neigh- borhood. Here are the rules for the caddies which will be strictly followed at Beaver Dam this year: 1. Report to caddy master (or starter) as soon as you arrive at club. Caddies will go out in the order of their arrival. 2. You must not remain on club prop- erty when you do not intend to caddy. 3. You must not enter locker room. 4. You must wear your badge where it can be seen. 5. Do not play in or around automo- biles, 6. Be courteous at all times. 7. Do not use profane or indecent lan- guage. 8. Do not throw paper or bottles on the club grounds. 9. You must replace divots. 10. Obey reasonable instructions of your employer. 11. Do not attempt to advise unless requested to do so. . 12. Do not swing clubs while caddy- ng. 13. Do not criticize or make remarks concerning any player's game. 14. Be quiet during play. 15. Place yourself in proper position at all times to watch the ball. 16. Do not lay bag on the putting green, 17. Do not cross the line of putt of any player. 18. The caddy whose player's ball is on the green first should take the flag. After is removed from cup place htly on ground outside line play. 19. All balls found by a caddy should be given to his player. 20. Do not stand in line of play either on the green or through the fairwaj 21. Stand to side when a player is making a shot. 22. Benches at the tee' are provided for players and not for caddies. 23. Caddy fees: Nine holes, single, 40 cents; more than one bag, 35 cents per bag. Eighteen holes, single, 75 cents; more than one bag, 60 cents per bag. Announcement of the professional who will hold the berth of mentor at the Annapolis Roads Golf Club this year is expected to be made shortly. A large list of applicants have come forward for the post, among them several promi- nent professional golfers about Wash- ington and Baltimore. The golf course has been open for some ‘ime, but the formal opening will take place in a month or two, when repairs and additions to the club house are completed. ‘Women'’s golf events at the Army War College hereafter will be held on Tues- days instead of Mondays, Mrs. Simon B. Buckner announced today. Mrs. Earl L. Naiden is in charge of the golf tour- naments this year. Plowing through the mist and rain of yesterday, R. N. Trezise, a_ former winner of the practitioners’ trophy, yes- terday registered an 87 to lead a fleld of golfers in the medal play tourney of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion at East Potomac Park.

Liberal British regulations, he 4dded, permitted the use of the new ball, whose specifications are 1.68 by 1.55, though the ball may not be heavier than the 1.62-ounce sphere. Use of the new American ball can be mmde by American play- ers in England during the 1934 Walker Cup matches. After 1930, however, the British must use our bigger and lighter ball in matches in this country. We must have our eake and eat it, too. HASLUP’S LOSS HITS LAUREL HIGH TEAM LAUREL, Md, April 18—Laurel High's chances for achieving first hon- ors in the Prince Georges County cham- pionship series have received a severe setback through the loss of Louis Has- lup, shortstop, who has left for a trial with the Baltimore Orioles. ‘Though he has been playing short- stop with Laurel, Haslup has done most of his playing in the outfield and it is as a flychaser that he is seeking a job with Baltimore. Until Haslup left Laurel the team had been going well, having defeated Elkridge High and tied Millersville High. However, since Haslup has left the nine has dropped two games in as many starts, losing decisively to Elk- ridge High and St.. Alban's School of Washington. Laurel High’s next game in the county title series is against Hyattsville High & week from today at Laurel. Laurel was scheduled to play Upper Marlboro yesterday, but the game was postponed because of the rain. & George M. Sullivan, Laurel coach, has about settled upon this line-up: Bob Rohrabaugh, pitcher; Matt Cun- niggham, catcher; ort Phelps, first base; Everett Pheips, second baseman; Harry Brady, shoristop; Joe Scaggs or Billy Gray, third baseman, and Joe Harrison, Tom Fisher and Ellery Mil- brook, outfielders. Track training will be started at Laurel High under the direction of Coach Sullivan April 28. The athletes will point for the county high school meet to be held May 26 at the Univer- sity of Maryland SEES COLLEGE BALL RETURNING TO FAVOR By the Assoclated Press. HANOVER, N. H, April 18.—College base ball, suffering for years from a decline brought about by lack of inter- est, is now convalescent and soon may be restored to its former health and vigor, thinks Charles W. Kennedy, pres- ident of the National Collegiate Ath- letic Association. Dr. _iennedy is sponsor of a plan to have coaches sit in the stands during college base ball games while their teams carry on without benefit of their coun- sel on the bench. Much of the renewed interest in the college sport is caused by this innovation, in the opinion of the Princeton board chairman. “I am sure it will work out satisfac- torily,” said Dr, Kennedy. “I have not yet seen a game played under the new conditions, for Princeton does not open its league schedule until May, but the scheme has worked well in the few games in which it has had a trial. “The plan of having the coach absent himself from the bench is a good thing for both undergraduates and coaches. It makes self-directed play by the stu- dents imperative, will teach them in- itiative and add to their ability to make decisions promptly.” BRUINS WIN 4-3 GAME TO TAKE COAST SERIES VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 18 (#).—The Boston Bruins, champions of the American section of the National Hockey League, scored a 4-to-3 victory over the Vancouver Lions, ific Coast title holders, in the third contest of their three-game post sea- son exhibition series here tonight. PTER play is over in the unlim- ited section of the Capital City Base Ball League this year a rather definite line on the best teams in the metropolitan area should be had. Heretofore league play has been confined in large measure to teams of the District, but this season sections of the unlimited class will, ac- cording to plans, function in Mont~ gomery and Prince Georges countles in Maryland and in nearby Virginia. A section may also be formed in Charles County, Md. Teams of the District and Virginia just about completed plans for league play at meetings last night. May 4 was set for the start of play in the Virginia section, and April 26 was set as the final date for teams to enter this section. A meeting was scheduled for April 28 at the Jefferson District Fire Department at Virginla Highlands when a schedule for the Virginia section will be drafted. Bauserman Motor Co., Ballston, Wood- Jawn Athletic Club and Jefferson Dis- trict Firemen nines are teams an- nounced as in line for the Old Dominion competition. Teams of the District section, which recently picked May 18 as their open- ing date, decided that members of the District of Columbia Umpires Associa- tion woul dhandle their games. The District teams will maek further Khnl at a meeting next Thursday night in the glnymund office in the Municipal Bullding. Prince Georges County teams inter- ested in the section to be formed in that county are to gather next Thurs- day night at 8 o'clock in American’ Legion headquarters in Hyattsville.

VOTES Sunday, EXCEPTION TO RULE NOTED THIS SPRING Four 3-Hit and One 2-Hit Big League Games in 15 Played Thus Far. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr., Assoclated Press Sports Writer. N THEORY, the early part of the base ball season is when the batters have the edge over the pitchers, but the first few days of the 1930 major league campaign have provided an out- standing exception to this rule. Few of the scattered games which have escaped the rain and cold so far have brought any heavy hitting while five, one-third of the total number played, have been distinct triumphs for the hurlers. Four moundsmen have allowed their opponents only three hits, and one two-hit game turned up yesterday. On the opening day, Lloyd Brown of ‘Washington limited the Boston Red Sox to three blows and Lester Sweetland of the Philadelphia Nationals repeated the feat against Brooklyn. Larry French, Pittsburgh left hander, outdid them all yesterday in holding the Cincinnati Reds to one single and a home run while the Pirates drove Ancient Eppa Rixey from the mound and gained a 7 to 1 trijumph. Ethan Allen, Cincinnati outfielder, got the homer in the ninth inning and provided the only occasion on which a Red Leg reached second base. French himself took part of the edge off his feat by giving five bases on balls. Earl Whitehill of Detroit and Pat Malone of the Chicago Cubs were yes- terday's three-hit pitchers with the St. Louis representatives, the Browns and the Cardinals, as their victims In abbreviated contests. Tigers Rout Browns. In Detroit, the Tigers were stopped by rain after five and one-half innings but beat the Browns, 6 to 1, on White- hill's hurling and homers by Marty McManus and Dale Alexander.
