BY JOHN B. KELLER. ORLD champions. That's what will be facing the Washington base club tomorrow afternoon in Griffith Stadium—if weather permits. his “weather permits’ qualification is necessary, with so many postponements so early in the season because of snow, rain. cold and anything else that in- duces the management of the home club to wait until another day to play. The Rhite Elephants for the first time this year are to show their wares to the fandom of the National Capital in three games, eccording to the sched- ule, but whether they will play up to the form displayed by them in the Jast campaign of the American League 5 mot certain. TIt's still a good bail Club, this Philadelphia club, = that yomped roughshod over the Nationals Jast year, not to mention the treat- ment it gave the other outfits in the circuit. But the A’'s were not “great’ in 1929 and they have their deficiencics this season. During the past campaign the Meckian horde was blessed with re- markable pitching. _Its regulars, too, were hitting terrifically. Whenever the itchers slumped a bit, it scemed the Pilters smote the ball harder. ~Well, the A's still are hitting right well, but with the exception of Robert Moses Grove, left-handed genius of modern base ball, their pitchers are not func- tioning so well. And this may make it difficult for the A’s to set such a fast Ppace in the first month of the cam- paigning as they did in 1929. Tast season the Nationals set up the first step to the pernant for the A's. Th> Johnson band simply was gonc as as it went on the field against the Philadelphia crew. This scason 4t ought to be different. The Wash- ington pitchers now are not awed by the sight of a man at the plate in the uniform of the Athletics. They are ready to give cach and cvery mem- ber of Mack’s bunch battle. The next three days should provide | some keen contests in Griffith Stadium. | It will be no slinking Washington team | that face the A's and the A's will have | & wholesome respect for their foes. | something they did not have in the past geason.

Al's debut in the 1930 base ball season was more than spectacular. The Philadelphia papefs carried screeching headlines that evening that told the world “Simmons Hits Homer First Time Up!” but that wasn't half the story. Less than two hours before the game began the outfielder was a hold-out and in- eligible to play. As a matter of fact, the hitting ace had decided to pack up and go back home to Milwaukee. An unidentified third party went into a huddle with Al about 1 ComMPARe ALs RECORD Wit Tys FiRsT six SEASONS'IN THE MAJORS QUTFELDER OF THE PHILADELMA ARLETCS, WHO 15 THE GGREATEST § B TLAYER IN BASEBALL TUONY ' ACCORDING 7O MANY CRIKS o i ka Metropolitan Newspaper Service o'clock, and then got Connie on the phone and arranged one more meet- ing between the two. So Simmons taxied over to the Shibe Park (at the club’s expense) and after a few words the document was signed. ‘The ovation Al received when he appeared on the fleld in uniform was equal to_the kind usually re- served for a Ruthian homer in the Yankee stadium. And before the first inning was over Simmons had hit a colossal four-base wallop as his “thank you” to the fans.

A com- | arison of the first eight players in the Bne-ups of the two clubs, however, shows the Athletics have little on the Nationals as 1o brevity of existence on this sphere, and so far as those in the batting order whose age; are in the thirties is concerned, the Mackian me- Jange has more than the Griffith group. To be exact on fizures given by base ball _statistical books. the first eight regulars of the Washington batting | order average 293, vears. The first | eizht of the Philad<lphia order average 2875 years. Odd, isn't it, why the Phila- delphia scribes should refer to the Na- ticnals as the “Potomac Pappies.” AKE a look at the ages.

The mound corps is about. all the Boston club has to make it a going affair.

T was too cold yesterday even for the Nationals to practice after reporting at the ball yard at 10:30, and at noon the business management of the club called off the scheduled game.

By the Associated Press. ETWEEN them, the Brooklyn Robins and Philadelphia Phil- lies have about the greatest ar- ray of sheer slugging talent any pair of teams in the two major lcagues can produce, but they haven't displayed it to a very good advantage through the | first games. Their blows were rather weak and ineffective until they got to- | gether yesterday and then there were | more than plenty. It all started when Fresco Thompson, Phillle lead-off man, stepped up to the plate in the first inning and drove the ball into the stands for a home run.| It didn't end until the ninth inning, when Spotts, the third Phillie catcher to appear, took advantage of an error | by Flowers to romp home from third with the run that gave Philadelphia a 16_to 15 victory. In between there came 38 hits, 21 of them going to the Phillies, a parade of pitchers and pinch hitters and one big scoring rally after another. Start- ing with Jim Faulkner and ending with Bill Clark, the Robins used six hurlers, while the Phillies called on four. In all, 35 players took part in the game. Southern and Thevenow of Philadel- phia and Frederick and Flowers of Brooklyn took the leading slugging roles. yielding only to Chuck Klein's third homer of the season. The Brooklyn-Philadelphia was _the only major league game in the East which survived the Wintry rigors of the weather. One Western contest in| each league reached its end while Pittsburgh tried to hold its home open- ing against Cincinnati, but gave it up in the third inning when a snowstorm swept over the field. The Chicago Cubs, champions of the National League last season, got back above the 500 mark by beating out the St. Louls Cardinals, 6 to 5, in the other National League game. ' The Cubs got 5 runs in the third inning only to have the Cards get them all back egain before the ninth. Charley Grimm came through in the ninth with his third hit of the game to bring Hack Wilson home from third with the winning run. Charley Root, winning his first game of the year in three starts, outlasted a trio of Cardinal pitchers. ‘The St. Louis Browns were the only American Leaguers to increase their average, defeating the Detroit Tigers for the second time in succession, 5 to 1. Dick Coffman was rather stingy with hits although generous with walks, but the two Tiger hurlers, Herring and Samuels, gave freely of both at the times that counted. Schulte led the Browns with three hits in as many times at bat and was on the scoring end of a double steal. —_— SHIRES, INJURED, MAY BE LEVELAND, April 24 (#).—Arthur Shires, first baseman of the Chisox, will be out of the line-up for at least a week and ibly two. He was injured in Tuesday's game here with the Indians, when he collided with Johnny Hodapp, Indian second baseman. ‘The White Sox player was knocked unconscious for a few minutes and was assisted to the bench. Hodapp was trying to make a double lay at the time of the collision and ad one knee in the air as Shires bum‘fied him. The knee prodded Shires in the ribs. s By the Associated Press. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. V April 24.—Minus the colorful Johnn Doeg, the Mason and Dixon tennis chimpionships swung into the semi- final round today with four of America’s first seven ranking players still in the running. Francis Hunter, No. 2, was paired with Johnny Van Ryn, No. 5, in the upper bracket. In the lower half of the draw George Lott, No. 4, opposed Wilmer Allison, No. 7, the defending champion. Allison handed the tournament its first upset yesterday when he defeated Docg, who only a week previoys won the Pinehurst tournament. The down- fall of Doeg, however, was overshadowed by the Hunter-Berkley Bell match, which Hunter won after the youthful Texan had collapsed when within one point of the match. Hunter's claim of the match by default was allowed by the officials. i et May 12 has been set as the date of the Marty Gallagher-Henry Lamar boxing bout.

HORNSBYS STANCE PaSITION AT PLATe AT PLATE - eral. Hornsby's presence in the line- up is necessary if the Cubs repeat this year. . Unless the heel heals properly it may prematurely retire the greatest right-hand hitter the game has ever had. That the “Rajah” is a great hitter can never be denied. It is possible for a mediocre hitter to bat .300 and absolutely impossible for any player to negotiate the coveted .400 mark, assuming he plays a representative number of games a season. In a five-year period, 1921-25, Rogers had a grand average of .4024. Ty Cobb, hitting left-handed, had a grand batting average of .4027 in four successive seasons, 1910 to 1913, inclusive. Jesse Burkett, who batted left- handed, is the only other slugger who hit 400 or better during three successive seasons. Of these three Hornsby is the only one now playing and he is still far from being at the end of his career, barring, of course, injuries. Here's hoping his heel in- jury doesn’'t affect his batting or playing. (Copyright, 1930.) STRAIGHT OFF THE WO moves of considerable im- portance in local golf were un- dertaken today by the District Golf Association. Believing that the interscholastic championship, played two days ago at East Potomac Park, should be placed under the wing of some organized body, possibly the District association, a one- man committee representing the local golf body is to confer shortly with au- thorities of the Board of Education to find whether the school solons sponsor the high school individual title chase, whether it is authorized and whether it would not be improved if it was handled by an organized golf associa- tion. Secretary Willam C. Barr of the as- sociation today is sounding out the clubs which are scheduled to hold golf tournaments this year, on the proposi- tion that they abandon the usual two or three days of practice in advance of the tournaments and open their courses to players. in the tourneys only on the actual days of competition. The | assoclation does not wish to impose its | views cn any of the clubs, but the mem- bers who gathered at the meeting of the executive committee at the Congres- sional Country Club last night feel that too much liberty is given to ®prospec- tive competitors in invitation tourna- ments, in the matter of practice before the event, which takes away the use of the courses from members of the club holding the event. Clyde B. Asher, chairman of the greens committee of Columbia and a vice president of the assoclation, said in many instances the practice privilege is abused by men who send in their names for the tournament, secure a day or two of free play over the course with- out payment of green fees and do not intend to play in the event itself. Other members of the exccutive committee agreed with him, but the committec felt it is a matter for the clubs to decide and for the time being recommended that the practice periods in advance of tournaments be abandoned. It was pointed out to the committee that the schoolboy championship was run off without any one being present at the scoreboard to handle the affair or interprct rules, and on motion of Albert E. Steinem of Woodmont D. L. Thomson of Manor was named to con- fer with authorities of the Board of Education to seek possible transfer of jurisdistion over the interscholastic title present were Dr. Bruce L.
