PAGE D—1 Sneezes, Wheezes Take Toll of Griffs : Dieting Dodgers Delight Pilot Carey FLOCK OF CASUALS HAS NARTINDZZY Brown’s Arm, West’s Legs Out of Kelter—Baltimore Is Trimmed Again. BY TOM DOERER. | ILOXI, Miss, March 17— St. Patrick’s day, the great big day in the life of Michael Martin, trainer for the Nationals, found no song in the heart of the usually happy little Irishman. There was no shamrock in his coat lapel, no chirp from his lips and no hum- ming of “Erin Go Brah.” Martir is sad on his day. He would be sad on anybody’s day when you take a squint at what has happened to your Griffmen within the last 24 hours. At this moment there are a half- | dozen ill and injured athleies demand- ing the attention of the distracted | e. And all of it happened so | quickly that Sir Mike is ready to be- | lieve that the bad fairies of his native | land have brought their vexes to old | Biloxi. Fred Marberry is ill from a stomach | disorder and a touch of grippe, Spencer is il], Lloyd Brown has a sore flipping arm which was X-rayed yes- terday, Sammy West is out Wwith two banged-up knees, Carl Reynolds has | not been feeling chipper and the sneezes and wheezes have hit the camp. Mike may blame it on wicked Irish sprites, but the thing is that a siege of | damp weather here and at Gulfport | and the attempts of the Griffs to get into top shape in hurried time, are the | rne!:l reason for the growing casualty | A repori on Brown's arm {rom the X-ray force at Biloxi Hospital is said to be favorable, while Fred Marberry, a little piqued and worn, was able fo | be moving about in the lobby last night. ITH sick and injured numerous, | not many regulars were able | to get over to. Gulfport yes- terday to see Monte Weaver turn in a splendid exhibition of pitching and ‘arl Fischer hand over one that was not so hot. Monte held the Baltimore Orioles hitless and scoreless in his three innings on the hill in the game which the Nats took from the Birds at Gulf- port, 6 to 3. Monte was the only one of the trio of Nationals’ hurlers to keep the threaten- ing enemy down. He came'Into action m the middle of the fracas after Carl Fischéer had allowed ' Baltimore three runs and five hits in three innings of mediocre twirling. - Montg popped over a sizzling fast one that, when hit, popped up or dug into the dirt, easy prey for his sup- per.. He silenced the bat of the haughty little Don Heftner, the punchy Oriole second sacker. No other Nat hurler could do that trick yesterday. Mike Delaney, the Chicago boy, held ;:‘e& Orl{lo‘lsu scoreless, but lllllowed two 5 support, was jexcellent, par- teularly that which Sam Rice gave him in the eighth imning. Samuel had on his fire hat and was out and under those balls in no time at all. Carl Fischer’s trouble, like Lynn Griffith’s_on Tuesday, Was none other than Heffner. Don smacked Carl for a single and a double and raised gen- eral trouble not only with Carl's nice, new slow curve, but alsp with his old reliable fast ball. The: southpaw did not bear down. He loafed along, prob- ably under instructions to take it easy. | ITH most of Uncle Clark Griffith's regulars and dependables over at Biloxi either ill pr marked not ready, the punchy part of our batting | order failed to do anything with Beryl Richmond, Baltimore’s hurling ace. Three hits and a run were nicked off | his curves in the opening three innings, | Bluege, M-Ele and Cronin being the | culprits with singles. But Harry Smythe, the Baltimore r who won 12 and lost 10 last year with the Orioles, furnished the right sort of left-hand siants for your hopefuls. Harry gave nearly every one a poke at his delivery and turned over four runs to the Nats during his term on the mound. Halloway held the Nats to one run and four hits, and enabled Ossle Bluege, the silent siapper, to get himself a double, to have his average for the day just 1,000. Ralph Boyle, playing a beautiful game in the field, caught two on the nose for fine hits and brought in a run as the result of one of them. Despite the poor weather, the teams profited by the combat and Manager ‘Walter Johnson was sure that his in- Jured and ill would be around to help the kids in the next combat, which will be with Louisville here tomorrow. tip here is that when the home- ward bound Nationals touch Chat- tanooga there will be a general unloading of timber. They are saying | that only one or two of the seven young | men bidding for berths in the Nationals’ | 1932 line-up will reach the Capital. | Out of the pack of pitchers, Uncle | Clark probably will grab only one young | man. And I'll say it will be Prank Ragland. Rags has that certain some- thing. He has a particle of color, too. Bob Friedrich, pleasing to the eye and with a lot of flourish to his pitch- ing, is not sufficiently seasoned for American League pitching; Mike De- laney is not ready for the majors and Griffith is not likely to step right up this time. Johnny Boyle, the sandlotter from Jersey, needs plenty of seasoning. ‘They are all good boys, splendid pitch- ing prospects, but they need some minor league tanning. The catching staff probably will get a nice trimming. Maybe young Bolton will stay. But I think that Moe Berg's appearance at the pay window means that both Maple and Bolton will go| down for seasoning and the spot, too, will be Chattanooga. il And either before or after the Na- ‘QM -G tonals start for home, you may be practically sure that Ralph Boyle, the outfield rookie who has been sensa- tional in his exhibition game work, will get a return ticket to the Baltimore Orioles. Uncle Clark still looks for that infield utllity man and a pitcher. He may say no. But the truth is he needs them if He is really serious in this pennant matter. 3 JACK DEMPSE¥ STOPS TWO Finishes One in First Round and | Other in Second. CLARKSBURG, W.

Some two weeks hence Mary- land tracks will begin opera- tions that will carry through till near the end of May, pro- viding 40 days of racing, and the extent of the attendance and play in the mutuel ma- chines at the four ovals will give a line whether interest in sports in the third Spring of the depression is confined to big league diamond doings. An 1l-day schedule will be ushered in at Bowie April 1, with the Inaugural Handicap, with $5,000 added, and two other stakes of equal richness are carded in the Rowe Me- morial Handicap, April 9, and the Baltimore Handicap, April 13, the final day at the nearby strip. Hagerstown Is Optimistic. AVRE DE GRACE, most distant of the major Maryland tracks, swings into action April 16 and runs for 13 days, through the 30th, with Pimlico staging a 12-day meet from May 2 to 14, and Hagerstown rounding out the program with five days of rac- ing from May 17 to 21, inclu- sive. The demand for stable reser- vations from horsemen who have been racing this Winter in the South is reported brisk at all four tracks and well filled fields are in prospect. An evidence of the faith of the Hagerstown officials in the outlook is found in the an- nouncement by Race Secretary Edward J. Brennan that the Waite stall starting gate, which has seen service this Winter at Miami and Tropical Park, Fla., as well as at Jefferson Park, New Orleans, will be installed at the half-mile plant, in addi- tion to being used at at least three of the four Maryland mile circuits. HILE on the subject of it may be men- tion: the “sport of kings” is likely to figure in a i}romlnent way in the celebra- ion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Wash- glgfion, although not until next all. Director Champ Pickens has been in touch with Andrew J. (Cy) Cummings, president of the Maryland State Fair, and the outcome probably will be that the plant on the Baltimore pike will add something new to the attractive list of events it always presents. Details of the thing have not et been worked out, but it may ake the form of a “day” of articular interest to Washing- onians, with perhaps a dupli- cate of the silver service used at Mount Vernon offered for a “Bicentennial Handicap” or some other such race. The Bigger the Better? REAL battle of behemoths will be-on tap this evening when Tiny Roebuck and Leo Pinetzki tangle on the mat at the Auditorium. Pinetzki, with his 280 pounds distributed over a frame that measures 80 inches—from sole to crown, as well as across out- stretched arms—is the bull of all pachyderms now active. The gigantic Pole in Roebuck will be meeting a playmate more nearly his size than any other extant, hereabout, how- ever. Tiny is supposed to weigh 247, and it may thc figures, accurately presented, would be 274. In any event there is enough of him to make it in- teresting for any matman if he uses his head and shoots the ‘works. ‘The prospect is for a real rough session, and while there is no guarantee of the quality of wrestling to be provided there ought to be plenty of action, and that’s what the fans dote on.

By the Associated Press | T. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 17. | —For the first time in 10 years Babe Ruth today is working | for the old firm of Yankees | under a 1-year contract. It calls for $75,000, representing a 6 per cent cut of $5,000, but the de- pressicn, relatively, has not hit the homerun king mcre than a mild tap in the region of the bank roll. | Among base ball men the most sig- | | nificant feature of the Ruth situation | is the Yankee management's unwill-:| | ingness to risk more than one season's pay on the chances of the Babe stick- ing arcund the peak in his well known specialty. His general health and condition never have appeared better, but his legs. most observers agree, show un- | mistakably the strain of 18 years in the | major leagues. His batting eyes were none too sharp in his first exhibition game yesterday. when he failed to get a hit in six tries and was calied out twice on | strikez with Ed Brandt in the box for the Braves. But no fears are felt for Ruth's hitting prowess. He will | be blasting 'em, as they say, until they move him up to the plate in a wheel- | chair, | Ruth feels he is good for at least |two or three years more of regular work. He may be ready to take it easier after rounding out 20 years, which he considers his goal for active play | Meanwhile, for playing 150 ball | games, more or less, Ruth will get a | presidential salary for 1932. Roughly | speaking, he will be paid around $500 for each afternoon’s work or relaxation | during the regular American League season.

He showed composure under fire by retiring the Coast Leaguers with- out & run in the sixth after two singles and a pass had filled the bases. He allowed only one other hit. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 17 () —What started out to be an experi- ment with the New York Yankees, sta- tloning the newcomer Frank Crosetti at shortstop and moving Lyn Lary down to third, now appears to be the permanent arrangement of the Yanks’ line-up. Lary has been giving a dazzling de- fensive exhibition in his new post, while Crosetti has done just about as well in the fleld, besides hitting hard.

If Judge can beat Kuhel for the Job it is his.” In the meanwhile Judge walks around, getting in his batting prac- tice licks and saying nothing much at_all. Deals with Detroit and Cleve- land, in which Judge was figured, are said to have fallen through. It also has been said, and not con- firmed, that Judge wants to buy his release from Griff.

Lynn Griffith Is Strategist In Maneuvers at Meal Time ROCKVILLE LOOKS Campaign of Summer Sporlsi Laid Out at Meeting of Athletic Body. OCKVILLE, Md., March 17.—A big year in base ball is Rock- ville'’s hope, following a snappy meeting of the Athletic Asso- ciation, in which the groundwork for the Summer sports campaign was laid. J. Paul Brunett was named chairman of a committee to have general super- vision cf the team, with Dr. Barrett P. | Willson, Clarence E. Anders, John G. | McDonald and Eugene B. Gingell as fellow members. The committee will | | select a manager, arrange a schedule and look to finances. As a means of raising money for base ball, a raffle will be conducted under | the ‘direction of McDonald, Lowry Riggs and Gingell, with the prize winner to be drawn at the opening contest. OCKVILLE has had a generally suc- cessful Winter in sports. Willson Carr, in charge of soccer, reported the booters had won six games, lost six and tled two, but scored 29 points against 16 for opponents. The boys' basket ball team, it was announced by Manager McDonald, has won 18 games and lost 12. It remained for the girl basketers, however, to bring | Rockville its greatest honors. Under | the directicn of Clarence Anders, the girls have won 22 games and lost only 3 and are still at it. A proposal to hold an annual athletic meet, so popular some years ago at Rockville, was given consideration, with the outlook bright for its consum- mation. Barnard Welsh, president of the Ath- letic Association, was optimistic over sports prospects for the Summer, par- ticularly in base ball Most of the material from last year's winning team is available.

TOBIG BALL YEAR < ¢ The oL FIRE HAT, AND THINGS ,GET MOVING DOERER vy = gy “Toi Doarer, GULFPORT, MI Traveling to Toughen Griffs Stands and Crazy-Quilt Ball Parks Now on Training Program. BY TOM DOERER. ILOXI, - Miss., March 17— Bus Expeditions, One-Night Grapefruit skirmishes now have been launched, and the rigors of one-night stands, bus punishment and crazy- quilt ball parks will be the order of the day for your Uncle Griff's ensemble. In a few days those Nationals will be so hardened, an old pal from Chattanooga will bounce back into the hotel clerk’s lap if he slaps one of them on the back. Yes, sir, after a few days of bus touring the boys will come bounding into the dining room with as much hop as a grounder on one of these flelds. They will have big hearts, but calloused backs; kind looks in their eyes, but loose collar buttons and untied shoe laces. Those boys will be undergoing the toughest part of Spring training, that section of the drilling where thezlmeet good bus drivers and bad roads. It begins the real work for Frankie Baxter, the potentate of the club house, who knows every little sock and shirt by its middle name back home, but gets no reply in Chattanooga when he calls Marberry’s left sock which he must have left in Selma. 1t is that period in training when a player’s trunk is in Gulfport when he needs that extra shirt in Biloxi, and when he gets so dizzled that he forgets whether he was talking to hlmfllthobfleIrthlln le. But it’s the first start back home, and to. Al Schacht that's the start toevery- where. Al has been walking the cor- ridors of the Biloxi Hotel for days, getting into shape to hop off the train at Knoxville in a couple of weeks and | start running for Washington. The other night he was pacing so furiously in a confined quarter of the hotel that he ran into himself. Up until April 1 the Griffs will be bouncing in and out of Bilozi, like an unwelcome guest at a whisper low. They will be overnight guests at Mobile and tarnished tourists when they leave. They will see so much of Guifport that they will think they are victims of a real estate agent 8/ ’em around. And Baltimore’s Orioles will be met so often that most of the boys will swear off eating crabs, while others will go home and shoot the canary bird. There is nothing so boring down here as meeting the same fellow too often. You begin to feel that he is responsible for your plight. When the team gets through ca- vorting on some of the ball orchards in this territory they will think they are phylni a new game. When a grounder hits the asphalt infield and bounces off the concrete out- field, nothing less than a special de- livery letter will retrieve the onion. But it is the start of action and that's what the boys down here crave with their grapefruit, chicken a la creole and corn bread. And, as Nick Altrock says, the bus trips will throw the boys together a little more. Your uncle’s hired hands have at last donned the fire hat. e SEEKS BASE BALL FOE. ALEXANDRIA, Harch 16.—Del Ray A.

(Note—This is the tenth of a series of stories of major leaoue ciud prospects.) BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. LEARWATER, Fla, March 17.—Base ball history is crowded with the table-sit- ting achievements of play- ers who have eaten themselves right out of the big leagues. Among this year's rapidly reform- ing cast of Brooklyn Dodgers the process is being reversed, with the result that a curious collec- tion of cast-offs is eating its way back into condition and threaten- ing to disrupt the National League pennant race. His renaissance was bound to follow the passing of the old warrior, Uncle Wilbert Robinson, and the succession to leadership of Prof. Max Carey. Calis- thenics, salary cuts, the big deal with Cincinnati and finally regulation of the cor department, all have con- tributed to the most interesting shake- up in recent big league history. Hoyt Diet Big Help. Carey credits the so-called Waite Hoyt diet for his preliminary success in reducing waistlines and avoirdupois. Discarded by the. Athletics and the American League, Hoyt joined Brook- lyn with a promise to ve and win 20 ball games. He reported in the best cordition in years, minus 30 pounds of excess weight and filled with the zeal of a missionary. With the veteran pitcher as an ex- ample and preacher of his dietary doc- trine, Carey persuaded heavyweights like Hack Wilson, Dazzy Vance and Babe Phelps to adopt Hoyt's eating gos- pel. Like the calisthenics, the diet’s popularity has spread throughout the camp, and even the corres ts are nfickfil&) Imumiud,!xunt. 3 at HOyt diet involves classification of foods.
