WASHINGTON BEST FINED OF ANY CLUB All Other American League Teams on Lookout for Capable Backstops. BY JOHN B. KELLER. [ERE may capable catch- | ers be found? Most of | the big league clubs are endeavoring to find the answeri American League clubs particularly are on the lookout for worth-while receivers, all ex- | cept Washington, It seems w} have the edge on its rivals so far | as the possession of good catching material is concerned. No other outfit can show such an array of receivers like that including Roy Spencer, Herold Ruel and Bill Hargrave, veterans all. | And backing this trio the Nationals | already have as a reserve Pat Gharrity, retained all last season as a regular player instead of a coach, and will look | over at the Biloxi training camp next Spring Ed Kenna, bought from Chat- tanooga, and Clff Bolton, recalled from the same Southern Association club. Al h President Clark Griffith and Man: Walter Johnson are doing little in the way of base ball business right now and not even talking much | about the game they do not mind ad- mitting the Washington catching de- partment’s outlook much _ brighter | than that of other clubs, Past per- formances seem to warrant the opti- mism of the big chief and the pilot. He's One-Man Staff. Spencer, for instance, is about’ an entire catching staff in himself, judged by his work during the past campaign. The receiver picked up early in 1929 did not have much to do in his first year with the Nationals, but this year he missed few games behind the bat. Elevated to the first-string receiver- ship shortly after the campaign got under way, Roy caught game after game-and caught brilliantly. | Perhaps his presence back of the | batter had as much as anything else | to do with the improvement of several | young members of the Washington pitching staff. And certainly Spencer | t a deal out of the veteran hurlers. en, too, Roy threw remarkably well the greater part of the way. Not until he hurt his right arm in a collision at the plate late in the season did the op- mmon manage to do much base-steal- at his expense and then the pilfer- ing did not long continue. As a batter Spencer did not amass an impressive average as averages for stickwork go. But Roy had the happy knack of making most of his hits count. He socked often when mates | ‘were on the runway iting the aid of a solid slam. Roy's hits accounted for runs to a number well above what ordinarily would be expected of his batting average. After all, hitting when hits mean runs is the best one could | ask of a batter. If he wants to be with the Nationals | next year, Ruel will be. Despite many | rumors that he is to be the next ager of the Red Sox, Muddy isn't likely to don a Boston uniform.. Many seem to be smesuv%lln( the Boston man- agerial job. ough he did not do much catching this year, Ruel was bet- ter than many of the receivers around the circuit and ought to continue bet- ter than many of them for some time. | Hargrave Doubtful. | Whether Hargrave is to stick with | the Nationals 15 not certain. When | Bill was picked up by waiver from the ‘Tigers in September the Nationals wanted a long hitter more than a| catcher. He was used behind the bat frequently after join! the Washing- | ton club and doubtless is as good if not | better than many other receivers in the league. If he does not figure in a trade during the off-season, Hargrave will be given much serious consideration for a catching staff berth when the h’llnlnfi campaign gets under way. In all likelihood Gharrity will be re- moved from the list of regular players and made an out-and-out coach before the next season starts. Pat still can handle pitchers and peg the ball, but he is not the batter he used to be and has lost a deal of foot. Getting down to first base after whacking the ball | is nothing easy for Gharrity now. | However, he knows plenty about the ocoaching of pitchers and is clever at gauging the ability of rookie hurlers. He'll be a big help to the club as & h. coach. As to Kenna and Bolton. Kenna,| ‘when up with the Nationals before, was | handicapped by a broken finger that seriously interfered with his throws. That was two years ago. Since the | digit has healed nicely d with Chat- | tanooga last season Kenna was ac-| counted the best catcher in the minors. | He took good care of his pitchers, | well and hit strongly. Both Griffith and Johnson think Kenna will stick this time. . THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, OCTOBER 26, 1930—PART FIVE.. Bench Dog Show Committees And Classes TASSES for the all breed bench dog show to be held Friday and Saturday, December 5 and 6, at the Washington Auditorium under auspices of the National Capital Kennel Club have been announced along with the committees which will arrange various details of the affair, and the trophies which will be at stake in addition to the regular awards.

EXT Saturday the bay, the river and their tributaries will attract both anglers and hunt- ers. The season for duck hunt- ing opening on that date will cause many anglers to put away their tackle and bring out their guns. Reports from all directions concerning the 1930 crop | of ducks are most disquieting. Due to drought conditions and to the constant encroachment upon breeding _areas, about half the usual number of birds will wing their way to Wintering grounds. “The constriction of water areas will induce the birds to mnc‘:ntraw in un- usually large numbers this year,” says Paul é Re':lngmn‘ chief of the United States Blological Survey, “and give sportsmen an erroneous impression that ducks are still in great abundance. Such fallacious reasoning may lead to excessive killing. urgent appeal to the sportsmen of the country to recognize the situation now menacing the water fowl and to governed accordingly in taking ducks and geese.” Thz maximum Federal dally bag is 15 ducks and 4 geese, which includes all birds taken by guides. The posses- slon limit is the legal bag for two days, 30 and 8, respectively. No State law can legally permit larger limits; some of them are smaller. The Biological Survey is anxious to have all bands re- turned to check up on the migrations of the ducks. Government officials are being impor- tuned to cut off about a month at the end of the duck season to save ample seed stock. No doubt some appropriate action will be taken when the advisory board meets in Washington early in December. The seasons are too long anyhow, and certainly a shorter sea-| son is better than a closed season. ‘The Izaak Walton League of Am: in a bulletin just issued says: “We deeply deplore the continued tendency on the part of a small mi- nority of hunters to disregard conservs tion regulations and the loss of com- mon decency, and urge every true sportsman to help eliminate the game hog, the nit-wit who endangers hu 1an life, and the vandal who destroys pri- vate property. We are gratified to note that healthful recreation and true sportsmenship are fast becomm; ‘the prime objectives of those who follow the chase.” Manufacturers of firearms and am- munition have recently produced and widely advertised more sportsmanlike firearms, su~* as a small bore shotgun which cannotu fired more than three times without reloading. But it is not 80 much the .1 of weapon one uses to kill game as it is whether the man be- hind the gun is a true sportsman and does his share to perpetuate the game supply. Conservation of America’s game birds was never more vital than at the pres- ent time Methods of slaughter have contributed materially to lessen the supply. This introduction of firearms built with the basic purpose of bette: sportsmanship cannot help but aid the cause. IR transport is a new and danger- ous menace to game. While 1t is erica unlawful nearly everywhere to hunt | from an airplane, transportation to and from hunting fields by air is coming more and more into favor with sports. men. Air travel by sportsmen cannot be eriticized as unethical but the fact re- mains that it increases the hazard to game, will increase the kill and is just one more obstacle to the maintenance of a supply of wild life. While there is no doubt about the thrills to be experienced in soaring over forests and lakelands seeking vir- I therefore make an | It is the purpose of the Luncheon Club to send to its member organiza- tions and to the Daughters of the American Revolution and State chap- ters of the American Federation of Women's Clubs lists of the candidates | with the notation as to the attitude of | each candidate on the bill. It is said that from 4,000 to 5,000 persons in these organizations are sponsoring the move- ment to pass the bill. Rod and Stream and the local chap- ter of the I. W. L. A. are back of this movement and have been for some years. Every angler in the District of Columbia should do ail in his power to have this measure enacted into law by writing to any members of the Mary- land Legislature he may know or appearing at Annapolis when the bill comes up the early part of next year. TOHN E. THOMPSON, B. B. Hunt and William W. Leishear returned re- | Shore and report wonderful fishing around Tilghman's, Sharp’s and Popu- lar Islands. With Capt. Newton George as their guide, they landed 31 trout and rock on Wednesday and on Thursday caught only seven, owing to high wind and rough water. Hunt landed the largest fish, a rock weighing 7'z pounds. All the fish were caught trolling. Thompson said Capt. George told him that if the weather holds good anglers will not be able to take away with them all the fish they will catch. He said the fish were everywhere, and that he saw one school covering an area as large or larger than the space oc- cupied by Center” Market. Thompson also said that a party from Baltimore had landed 43 rock and trout Wednes- day and that their largest fish was a rock weighing 18 or 19 pounds All the fish were caught trolling. Thompson, who has been fishing on the Eastern Shore of the bay for years, said that the fish were much larger this year than for years past. TELEGRAM from A. H. G. Mears at ‘Wachapreague, Va., recelved Pri- day, states, “Weather fine today. Our boat landed 37 nice trout, 90 croakers and some flounders. Expect more trout when weather favorable, and good fishing until about November 15. Last good catch 1929, was No- vember 20.” As the fishing season for 1930 draws to an end, reports indicate that better fishing is to be found for the small and large mouth bass in fresh water. In salt water, the trout and blues. which have been furnishing excellent sport for some time, are slowly making their way to their Winter homes some- where in the ocean, perhaps in the warmer waters of the Gulf Stream, but their place is being taken by the game rockfish, both in the bay and in the Lower Potomac. When the high winds |of the past week blow themselves out, | anglers, according to reports, will reap a harvest. REPORT from headquarters of the I. W. L. A. says that forest fires de- stroy about $50,000,000 worth of imber in the United States every year. Last year the Pederal Government spent $3,300,000 to fight fires on national forests and the amount expended in helping the States, added to their ap- vrwn riations, totals several times this gure. ‘The real trouble is not with the all- too-meager appropriations.

No other club in the American League has such an aburdance of backstopping material In fact. the catcher shortage has become really serious. So serious that one big league club casting aboi for a catcher was ready to bring back o the big show the venerable John Bassler, but was tipped that the pick of the Pacific Coast League receivers was Hank Severeid. And Hank was catching in the majors before the days of the lively ball. In the East only Washington and Philadelphia are strong back of the bat. While the A’s have little outsice of Mickey Cochrane, he is enough. The trail for the paths of the air. A great part of the satisfaction of a hunting trip comes from the cxperience of camp and trail. Much of the benefit from hunting comes from the physical ex- ertion Tequired Rod and Stream knows the trials and tribulations of fish life and is be- ginning o learn some of the hazards of game life. The fishes in the sea and the birds of the air are having an eternal battle for their existence, and if the Ame hunting and fishing system is to be saved, sportsmen must act_without delay. The cry all over th the fish, save the bircs is nation-wide, but each section of the country should fight the problems most affecting its region. It is with this thought in mind that the national headquarters of the Izaak Walton League of America is forming regional councils. The membership of the league has grown so large and 50 man: chapters have been formed in the coun “save best the West can show is Benny Tate. | yioys States that they hi He has done well with the White Box | ynute oSy W J0e8 BRte g and they regard him as the best they | regional council to receive reports from | have had since Ray Schalk.

Bucky sees little in his to national headquarters. In this man- ner much of the work will be expedited and more ground covered.

On the whole, he thought, concealing | a painful injury Was not as courageous | as saying, “Coach, I guess you'd better take me out; I am not in condition to give the team my best.” That took moral courage, for it was giving over a chance of glory to another man. There was another specles of ness—that of the man uninjured, but almost totally exhausted by a hard bat- | tle. He keeps on fighting when he has | nothing to fight with but iron deter- mination. He will not be beaten. Hor- ween inclined to the belief that such & man might be more courageous than | a man handicapped by pain. Pain, he said, might put a man on edge. But there is no way of keying up utter weariness, Despite these considerations, the Harvard coach saild that one of the most outstanding exhibitions of courage he ever witnessed In a foot ball game was that of a man seriously injured. ¢¢JQ UBBLES" emeyer, Harvard He was play- ing his last year on the eleven, and it chanced that his great show of grit came in the fi game, the annual classic with Yale, played in the Bowl at New Haven on October 20, 1920. Harvard, by the way, had a great team that year—perhaps not ranking with the greatest, but certainly a top- notcher. Bob Fisher, having such men | as Owen, Buell and Horween to work | with, had devised a tactical campaign | which promised victory. *“Bubbles”| Havemeyer played center, and a mighty g00d man he was at the position, too. “Yale was strong that year, Horween, “but we went down to Haven with real hopes of winning. “The game hadn't gone very far when we found we were going to have a hard time getting through their line. We didn't seem to be working our passes well, either. “We outplayed them, but we couldn't make & touchdown. “On_the first play of the game, ‘Bub- bles' Havemeyer got off tthe ground with his left arm hanging limp at his side.
