y [ e | @he Fpening Stak, HARRIS LONE GRIFF MUCH 700 FLESHY Gardener Must Train Off 19 Pounds—Infield Gets Brisk Workout. BY DENMAN THOMPSON, Sports Editor, The Star. ILOXI, Miss., March 10.—Now that all the Naticnals and near-Nationals—three dozen . of them—have been seen in action, it is found there are only four in the lot who will have to work particularly hard to attain proper playing condition because of too much weight. One of these, Bump Hadley, isn't actually burdened with much super- fluous poundage, but will have to keep busy to avoid taking it on. Fred Mar- berry, the flery-tempered Texan Wwho | gave. the appreciative war correspond- | ents something to write about for a | couple of days by bandying adjectives | with Manager Johnson, is not so well | off, and neither is Red Hargrave, but | both are in_the proverbial pink com- | pared with Dave Harris, who displays | a torso qualifying him to compete With | some of the more mammoth of Daddy Joe Turner's: pachyderms. ILOXI, Miss, March 10.— “There’s & young fellow in town here who's quite a pitcher, but is scared to ask for a trial " Thus was Clark Grifith approached by a Biloxian as he stood watching his Nationals practice. The club_ president told his in- formant to bring the lad out. “Oh, he’s here now,” the fan re- plied as he turned and called, “Come here, Paul.” From under the grandstand where he had been bashfully hiding strode a huge, broad-shouldered chap in a nondescript suit with sleeves too —Paul “Kin Throw Right Hard” Bashful Biloxi Boy With Reputation as Hurler to Get Trial With Nationals.

He voiced the fear other players would make fun of him when told to show up the next day and work out in a regular base ball suit, but was assured all the trimly uniformed athletes on the field had been “bush- ers” at some time. According to his sponsor the youth pitched in sensational style in his peculiar, underhand fashion for the local nine last year, but all he could be induced to say before shuf- fling off with the promise to return was: “I kin throw ’em right hard.” Griffith Spots Another Shires ILOXI, Miss, March 10.—With the passing of Arthur the Great to Milwaukee, the Shires family now is unrepresented in the majors, but Clark Griffith has a hunch the name eventually will appear again in ig league box scores. - The player Griff has his eye on is “Dutch” Shires, youngest brother of “Whattaman,” who is to get a trial under Manager Bert Niehoff at the Nationals' Chattanooga farm this Come to think of it, Dave ought to pretty well in the rasslin’ racket, | br in mamo? to the requislta (ium:tng‘e | b possesses two other essential attri- tes.

EW ORLEANS, March 10 (#).— Inasmuch as the Cleveland Indians’ troubles are mainly of the infleld, Manager Roger Packinpaugh is giving especial attention to Jonah Goldman, who will do the shortstopping, unless Bill Hunnefield beats him out. Peck figures the Tribe can stand Goldman's weak hitting, but not his slowness as pivot man in double plays. Therefore Goldman is getting on how to get the ball away without taking a step first. WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, March 10 (#).—Manager Bill Killefer of the St. Louis Browns gmreued today not to be worried about the continued ab- sence pf Pitcher Warren (Rip) Collins and First Baseman Lu Blue. He sald the Browns were getting along ‘“‘very well” without them. Blue, if he comes to terms, can ex- pect nothing better than to understudy Irving Burns, but Collins would be de- cidedly useful, since he is a first-rate itcher and the Browns’ staff is lack- ng, at least in number. valuable man to his club in the circuit. In fact the entire regular infield, with Ose Bluege at the far side, Joe Judge on | first and Buddy Myer at second, where he divided the toill with Jack Hayes, gave a flelding exhibition that was an | eye-opener for the enlarged assemblage | of natives which had gathered to take | in the initial workout of the entire | squad of Nationals. They judged bounders and speared throws in mid-season form, taking it easy only in the matter of throwing, a necessary precaution until their wings get strong. ’I’HER! was plenty of work for the other newcomers, too. Joe Kuhel, Judge's understudy, gave a chara teristically flashy exhibition around the initial corner, and Baxter Jordan, who is listed at league headquarters as a third baseman but is carried on the Wi n roster as a first sacker and | T ‘sohedaied vs pettorm this season s | an outfielder, displayed a lot of poise, while Tom Gilligan, the Harvard varsity product, if he lives up to his size and pugnacious-looking jaw, should make £00d in a big way.

It will have Buddy Myer leading off and followed by Sam Riee, with Heinle Manush in his accustomed third hole and Joe Cronin in the clean-up position.

Whether Dick Shikat, ex-champ and former German naval officer, still rates in the rassling racket will be deter- mined Thursday at the weekly rumpus at the Auditorium. Shikat, since losing the alleged crown {to Jim Londos last Summer, has puzzled fans by his performances— some of 'em being very good and some very bad. It's no secret that Shikat wants another crack at Londos, but since he dropped the supposed title none | has been forthcoming, McMillan, Pojello | and others crowding him out. Shikat, in tackling Matros Kirelenko, 1aursday meets an opponent who has twice been beaten by Londos, but who made Dick look very bad a couple of weeks ago here. Matros has been get- ting better as time goes on. Shikat and the ex-Cossack have wrestled three times, Dick winning the first; the sec- ond going two hours to a draw, and Matros mussing Dick up in a 30-min- ute draw the last time. * Shikat's feelings are hurt by his in- | ability to get another match with | Londos. If McMillan, never the holder | of the near-title, can get five bouts with Jim, Shikat thinks rates a re- turn. Promoter Joe Turner, however, has made known his intention of trying to match Shikat and Londos here in ‘Washington at the ball park during the Summer—that is, providing Dick gets by Kirelenko and some more to boot. A powerful bout looms in the George Hagen-Milo Steinborn meeting. Rudy Dusek is taking on Chief Son Jennings, a newcomer, in another bout. Billy Bartush tackles ‘George Tragos, and Babe Caddocoks opposes Ivan Vakturoff. Tickets are on sale at the Annapolis ‘Hotel ‘office, S v = MEET AT HYATTSVILLE.

CLEARWATER, Fla,, March 10 (#).— They do say that the powers-that-be in the Brooklyn business office have lost patience with the famous hold-out twins, Dazzy Vance and Babe Herman, and have instructed them to take it or leave it. “It” in Vance's case is said to be $22,500 and in Herman’s, $19,000. Babe would like $20,000 and Vance could use $25,000. . BRADENTON, Fla, March 10 (P).— Instead of worrying about getting down to playing weight, as most _ball players do, especially after they have turned 37, Burleigh Grimes, ace of the Car- | dinal pitchers, said he hoped to add | six pounds before the start of the Na- tional League race. Grimes now weighs Grimes and Jess Haines, who also looks fit, have just arrived from Hot Springs.

As stated by Robert Stead, jr., chair- man of the Golf Committee, these changes would involve the sixth and ninth holes to such a degree that the holes probably will not be in condition for the playing of such an important event as the District championship. The ninth green will be entirely rebuilt and will be raised above the level of the fairway, Stead anncunced, and in addition will be retrapped in'front and | at the sides. He did not reveal just| how the sixth hole will be changed. but | indicated it will not be in condition.| for the playing of a championship in | Sentember. Stead said the Chevy Chase Club will be glad to hold the District event | this year, but he doubts whether the course will be in shape at the time proposed for the competition. With this issue before them, delegates to the annual meeting of the District Golf As- sociation gathered last night at the Racquet Club voted to hold the tourney at Congressional if Chevy Chase can- not hold it. The tourney was held at Congressional two years ago and was won by Miller B. Stevinson. The course of the Burning Tree Club also was of- fered by Walter R. Tuckerman, but the champlonship was held there last year and the delegates voted against holding it over the same course in two consecu- tive years. Not since 1921 has the Dis- trict” tourney been played at Chevy Chase. Two propositions which may have in them the germ of some future action were laid befcre the meeting last night. Tuckerman suggests that there may be too many golf clubs about the Capital and that merger of some of them might be a good thing for the clubs involved in view of mounting expenses. No ac- tion was taken on his suggestion. Then D. L. Thomson of Manor, newly elected president of the association, said the organization 'should maintain a “black- list” of floating members, who do not pay their obligations at clubs and join other clubs. The association did not take action on this matter either, but in both ceses the idea may be carried forward for future use. The association approved the sugges- tion of Dr. Bruce L. Taylor, retiring president, that a senior tournament be held snd left the place and date to the Executive Committee. The junior. championship goes to the Manor Club, to be played on_September 2. The association ratified all the tour- nament dates, as previously announced in The Star, beginning with the Wash- ington Golf and Country Club tourney, on April 28, 29, 30 and May 1. In addition to Thomson, officers were chosen as follows: First vice president, . 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. ¢ OSTELLO, all-around athlete ;: Georgetown Unversity, will lost to the Hilltoppers both in track and base ball the coming sea- son, it appears, because of an injury.
