THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, 'D. C, JA | Manush Gets in Line for 1931 Campaign : New Golf President Clarifies Rules A | Record Run Aids Houston Man LEG AGAN STRUNG' To No. 1 Rating as Trapshot . SAYS NAT SLUGGER Heinie May Train Early at Hot Springs—Chattanooga Gets Five Griffs. [ ] N VRN BY JOHN B. KELLER. CLARK GRIFFITH, president of the Nationals, announces with a mile-wide smile the 3 signing of Henry E. Manush for service with the ‘Washington club in the American League's base ball campaign this year. There’s good reason for that expansive smile accompanying the prexy’s announcement, too. During last season Manush in the 88 games he played with the Na- tions following his transfer from the Browns on June 14, not only performed smartly afield, but also was something more than 20 per cent of his club’s punch in attack. Having Heinie now aligned with Joe Cronin, spearhead of Washington’s 1930 effensive, Griffith figures there remains little to worry about regarding the club's power in attack this year. ‘The Manush rpet‘ with the signa- ture of the big fellow boldly penned on 1t, reached the ‘Washington club head- quarters late yesterday and with it was forming the boss how fine is this time the Florida sunshine has done ‘wonders for him. “That leg I had hurt last year in Boston, and which bothered me so strong once more,” Heinie tells “I ought to be in splendid I leave here in March, to take up heavier train- club at Biloxi.” though, may leave West Palm Beach long before March. i= dent Griffith wants the big fellow to Join the Nationals’ Hot Springs squad for a good work-out before to the Mississippl training base. know,” argues Griffith, have a lot of running to do in left as well as on the basepaths anc is Grifith. “You I haven't fully about it,” the Wash- Hot | dymaster, was standing p campaign. With Heinie condition, the club should be able to step out at a brisk pace. If that leg s not so steady, though, the Na ' getaway probably would be easily seen what a potent factor he was in their attack. .JFVERY once in a while reports of Washington club activities reach the Capital by way of Cape Horn, or some other remote , 80 secretive #se the Nationals’ officials their base ball transac tion. It appears that recently the Wash- ington club sent to the Lookouts, under option, Harley Boss, first baseman; Al Powell, outfielder; Gordon Phelps, out- » felder-catcher; Carlos Moore, pitcher, and Dick Goldberg, first baseman-out- ALl but Goldberg are known to Wasn. | and | ington fandom. Boss, Powell Moore have worked here in champion- games and Phelps in exhibition . Boss has been shifted consider- ably since coming up to the Nationals Little Rock, at_ times belonging Reading, Kansas City and Chatta- mooga. Powell has been with Chatta- and New Haven, while Phelps year hit a neat 358 for Hagers- , in the Blue Ridge League. Moore, after a brief trial last Spring, Ppro from Youngstown, Ohio, and in his college days starred for the Pennsyl- wvania nine. Moore may be heard of some of this quintet later.

Woodward of Houston, Tex., heads theé list of the Nation’s trapshooters, with an average of 9905 for the year 1930, and the long- est run of targets on record, 606, with- out a miss. 4 He stepped to the front in official avezages released by the Amateur Trap- shooting Association, the governing body of target shooting in the United States, Canada and the Canal Zone. ‘Woodwarti always has been regarded as one of the best shots of the Lone Star State, but this is the first year that he has won national recognition. He was the singles champion of his State last year and defeated all other State champs during the Grand American tournament here last August. The A. T. A. awards high averages in five divisions in order to arrive at some basis for handicapping the shooters. ‘Woodward’s mark was attained in the 1,000 and 2,000 target' division. He broke 1,783 of the 1,800. Had Few Misses. Steve Brothers of Philadelphia led the division for 4,000 targets or more with an average of .9839. E. L. Ford of Ogden, Utah, was su- preme in the 3,000 to 4,000 class. His average was .9781. In the 500 to 1,000 division, Karl Maust, Detroit, was high with, an aver- age of .9800. Alvin Sims, Akron, Ohio, STRAIGHT O HAT is the hardest hole on 7 which to score a birdie about Washington? Some folks might say that holes like the fifth and eighteenth at Indian Spring, the sixth and eleventh at Co- lumbia, the seventh at Congressional and the fourth at Burning Tree are about the hardest to play in sub-par people that the hardest birdie hole around the Capital és also a dne-shotter on which the par is 3. Therefore for Elwood Poore, one of Bob Barnett's essistants in the Chevy Ghase golf shop, to score an eagle ace on what | meny people regard as the hardest the birdie hole around the Capital is con- siderable of a feat. Poore was playing with William M. Guthrie a few days ago, before the ground was completely frozen, and tak- ing a.wooden club from his bag at the ninth he took & mighty cut at the ball. Sandy Douglas, the Chmtcmm:e cad- al and saw the ball hit in front of putting surface, take a couple of hops and roll in the hole for a one. There may have bean other aces made on this hole, but they are not recorded in the memdry of the boys who are holding down the fort in the golf shop while Barnett is in Florida. ‘The hole measures 230 yards from the white or middle maikers and the to_cover tively short flig] tbandm‘ll = comparatively and roll in the present heavy atmdsphere. The green is big enough, but it is quite a stunt to make .the on this looking ninth just ,. and it is quite probable that there are fewer deuces made on this hole than on any other 1-shot, par-3 hole around Washington. . Next 8 the galters of the Chevy Chase Club will not find the tenth hole such an easy affair as it has been By the Associated Press. STEWART, a 20- was selection to fill the big shoes left vacant when “Stretch” Mur- phy, Purdue’s star center, was grad- uated Jast year. Stewart, 6 feet 2 inches tall, 4 inches shorter than Murphy, has some task to make the Lafayette, Ind, school forget the sharp- shooting Murphy, who holds the ‘Western Conference record for points scored in a season and during a single game. « In his first Big Ten game Stewart netted only one basket from the floor. He was, however, facing the CHARLES STEWAKT. veteran and versatile Michigan ath- lete, Norman Daniels. Purdue lost the game 22-29. Stewart, who, like Murphy, is a product of the Hoosier basket ball belt, handles himself somewhat like, “Stretch,” moving arcund the floor somewhat awkwardly and apparent slowness. Murphy's great height and eye for the basket nullified his awkwardness. A Stewart, an Intiana product, came to Purdue from Attica High School. Murphy was graduated from the Marion High School and in his last year played upon the Indiana State championship team. Murphy was Purdue's center three years—1928, '20 and '30. During his first year he set a new Big Ten scor- ing mark for cne game by dropping in 10 baskets and adding six free throws, He e%unuzd that last year by net- ting 13 baskets from scrimmage. Purdue tied with Indiana for Conference title in 1928, was runner- to Michigan in 1920 and won un- ted claim last year by gallop- !'n'lthrmh the season without a de- eat. Stewart, who weighs 185 pounds, hes a more rugged physique than Murphy, who was exceedingly slen- der and raw-bcned. Coach Lambert ts Stewart’s worth will be con- 12 '“'"4““‘ ly figures, but it seems to a good many | ed Maust's mark, but he was not eligible for recognition as he did not attend the Ohjo State or the Grand American tournaments.

Moore, Klamath Falls, Oreg, who had a mark of .9437 on 800 targets. " At the head of the 1,500 division and over in the handicap averages is Frank M. Troeh, Portland, Oreg. His mark was 9212 on 25 targets. Another Klamath Falls, - took honors in the handicap sverages. He is E. Nitscholm, who the 1,000 t0 1,500 class with 9165 on 1,150 clays.

Harrold, of Pittsburgh, an average of .87 on 4,460 clays. Averages in the doubles were as fol- lows: Fred R. Etchen, Wichita, Kans, 9425 on 400 targets; E. W. Renfro, Dell, Mont., .9415 on 770 targets; William Lambert, Oklahoma City, .9300 on 500 ‘Women’s doubles: Mrs. W. P.

He holds that something may happen to the other fellow, as it prob- ably has happened to him, and so he plays every stroke with care, regardless of whether he is three or four strokes behind his opponent. : Dickey and Gruver have had some great battles. Both are good golfers and they fight to the last stroke for the de- cision, regardless of how the foursome matches may go. In the match in question Dickey was 1 up on Gruver, then Gruver squared and virtue of playing the’ holes from twelfth through the seventeenth in one better than par, he went 1 u&:n Dickey after the seventeenth. And then Dickey hook- the pin in Well, you know the rest. and Gruver missed and “the gent who never gives up” had squared another golf match because he wouldn't give up.

Julius | WHEN CAMPS OPEN Minors’ Draft Fight Will Be Ended Before Majors Start Training. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. HEN the major league clubs get into their Spring train- ing camps next month, and perhaps before then, the customary exchanges of players will be going on between them and the three class AA leagues. This can be pre- dicted today on rellable authority, for the “base ball war” that some folks thought was brewing this Winter simply won't come off. The American Assoclation has ac- cepted the new national agreement, not unplnimemly, but by a majority vote, the Pacific Coast League has voted owners, took them and developed them and then sold them back at a profit. The American Association has always been in close co-operation with the major leagues in regard to players, ac- cepti them on option freely, show- ing in conducting well fought races for the championship, and yet not hav- ing much player strength left at the end of each season because so many men have had to be returned to the big leagues. Ints Split Evenly. The International League has been split on the new national agreement, four clubs being in favor of it and four op| .

Even if the double A leagues did not all into line, there would not be any “base ball war.” There has been 2 wholly wrong idea in some sections in regard to this. The relations between majors and minors would be exactly as they had been before, except that there would be no exchanges of players tlntween the mjur’ and the double A able to draft players from double A and the latter would not be able to ob- tain players on option.

NO game under the star- about by more conventions, rules and regulations than studded sky is hedged the game of golf. Disputes over | minor points of golf rules have FOR TUESDAY SHOW o arisen so often and have resulted n so many interpretations of the rules governing this game and its code of etiquette that it has come to be almost axiomatic that the rules may be twisted and distorted to fit a particular case. Ruling and interpretations galore fail utterly to clear up the ambiguities re- vealed in many sections of the rule book, even though every golfer realizes that golf is a game of sportsmanship alone and rule interpretations are and should be based on the intent of the rule and not its actual wording. President Herbert H. Ramsay of the United States Golf Association realized as a lawyer that the rules of golf are capable of much distortion and con- many ambiguities. It has been Nis aim ever since he first came into the councils of the U. S. G. A. to so clarify the rules as not to permit ambiguities of meaning and non-literal interpretations. It is not s , therefore, that in assuming the cl of president of the Nation'’s most powerful golf body, he makes a vigorous attempt to clear up ints in the rules which are €a) of misinterpretation. o fewer than 14 interpretations and definitions have been outlined by Presi- dent Ramsay and the Rules Committee, to be effective immediately and to be printed in the 1931 rule book, which will relieve doubt in the minds of many players as to the intent of almost as many rules. First Recent Major Revision. It marks the first attempt in many years on a major scale {o revise the rules of golf and make them clearl} understandable in specific cases and not capable of distortion, even though the U. S. G. A. has had before it for several years a completely revised code of rules which would permit of few e s dchnition 3 ition 1is this: “Grass covered side walls leading to a bunker are not part of the bunker. A ball Lylniuen these grass side walls does not lie in or touch a hazzard and rule 25 does not apply.” Which means that the hazard or bunker is the area covered with sand and all outside of the actual sand-covered area is mnot bunker and therefore the club may bes‘?“x:“fim ing paragra) ui c] yi rule 27, h 1, the new definition is this: Onps.s within the boundaries of a water hazard is part of the hazard and when a ball lies thereon the club shall not touch the ground.
