FORVET, SAYS BOSS ‘.Nationals' Owner Declares Joe Had Right to Make Terms With Dodgers. ITH Joe Judge and Max Carey unable to make a deal for the former's services to aid Del Bis- sonette at first base for Brooklyn next season, Clark Griffith is in- censed as being named responsible for the balking of the deal, as in- timated in dispatches from New | York last night. Griffith, according to the wire stories, is said to have a 00 for Judge which Carey re- ) pay, only agreeing to deal with Washington veteran as a free agent. “This information is incorrect, and injustice to me and the Washington Base Ball Club,” said Griffith when informed of the New York view of the Judge-Carey situation. “1 told Joe in New York that if he could get the signature of the Brooklyn Club to show it as his employer, I would him bis unconditional re- lease. I want to help him get another position, one where he will be satisfied. But i have not asked the waiver price on Joe, and the Brooklyn Club will bear me out in this statement. I have talked it over wth Brooklyn representatives.” IN' ings it was understood Judge had propositions with several clubs, one in the American League, but that Grif- fit 1ld not give him his release and insisted that he might talk business only with the Dodgers. There is ever between Joe and the Wash- ington club has been strained to the pomt where the veteran first sacker is own and out base ball can offer. Griffith’s con- his status has caused him to tell the Cleveland and Cincin- nati clubs, said to be after him, that they would have to talk with the Wash- ington club owner when they sought his services. At the New York meeting Judge and Carey held numerous conferences, all of which ended blankly for the first base- man. At the time two stories were ent in the lobby concerning the ility of the Brooklyn club and Joe to get together on a deal. as that Joe was holding up the by demanding a signing the Dodgers would the other that Griffith sharc of money in the deal, Which Brooklyn refused.

YORK, December 17.—The heavyweight boxing bout sched- uled between Stanley Poreda of Jersey City and Ernie Schaaf of Boston at Macison Square Garden next Friday night has been ap- proved by the New York Boxing Commission. This action was taken despite the fact that the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission had notified the New York board, with which it has a working agreement, that Poreda and his manager, Billy Reppenhagen, had been suspended for an alleged attempt to fix a fight with big George Godfrey in Philadelphia, which Po- reda and his manager canceled be- cause of a reported injury to the fighter. Jimmy Johnston of the Garden forces argued that the match had been made before the Philadelphia trouble had cropped up and the Garden should not be penalized. The commission took that view and filed the notification from the Quaker commission without comment.

FOUR GARNER 685 INPASADENA OPEN Two More Beat Par in Play for $4,000 Purse—Many. Others in Running. BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. ASADENA, Calif., December 17 (). —Half a dozen professionals, dis- dainful of par, led the way for more than 100 golfers into the second round of play in the Pasadena $4,000 open tournament today. With four of the array tied for first place because of their scores of 68 yes- three under standard, and eight more within three strokes of the lead, the drive over the Brookside Park |course to the $1,000 first prize money moved toward the halfway mark un- escorted by any one favorite. There was Harry Cooper, little Chi- }cago pro, who cracked out a 35—33 in the defense of the 1931 championship. Big Fred Morrison, pro at Annandale, Calif,, turned in the same figures and played as he did in the Agua Caliente open a year ago to win the big stake. EO DIEGEL, former P. G. A. cham- plon and pro at Agua Caliente, Mex- ico, was in a money-winning mood as his 33—35 card indicated.

So far the South has carried a dis- tinct edge in these intersectional jousts, with Alabama’s Crimson Tide leading the charge. Southern California’s vic- tory over Tulane was practically the only major triumph for the Pacific Coast over Dixie for some years. But there are three games today to this effect: California vs. Georgia Tech. Oregon vs. Louisiana State. U. C. L. A. vs, Florida. From this array Louisiana State has much the better chance to win. L. §. U has been playing fine foot ball all Fall | and is now rated one of the main Con- | ference leaders. Oregon has beaten Santa Clara and Oregon State, tied Washington and lost to Scuthern California. But Louisiana State has a strong line and a good backfield, and should have the call. In the sme way, California has a little to spare over Georgia Tech, beaten by Kentucky, Auburn, Vanderbilt and | Tulane. But Georgia Tech was strong enough at its peak to beat Alabama. which means that the golden tornado is no mild zephyr. California should have too much man power in this test through a close, hard | game. Florida has only an outside chance against U. C. L. A. later on. This has | been an off-year for Florida, the Gators | losing to North Carolina State. Georgia, North Carolina, Auburn, Georgia Tech and Tennessee.

Griff not only wants new faces, men with new ambition, good players, but he wants an aggregation that will click as a team. And he is going to get it, or else. Listen to Griff: “So far, the team that I have ar- ranged ought to be a winning com- bination, That's what I am after, and_that is why I cracked up my . outfield and sought mew pitchers. “For the last three years the Washington club got a shade weaker each year. It gave me the impres- sion that it was convinced it could ot shoot for the top. It was banged from the lead three times in a row. Each year its efiorts became weaker, and_the team’s morale lower. “When I saw that the team as it stood in 1932 could not make the grade in 1933, that it would be worse, and not better, I immediately planned to protect the fans of Wash- ington, who pay to see a team with a chance for the top. Once a team is convinced it cannot make the grade, it is best for every one to break up that ball club. 7 “Maybe this mew combination will not work as well as I figure it should. If it does mot, I will try again; and again, too, if the aggregation ar- ranged does not click, as I want a good ball club to hit.” That's Uncle’s declaration, and you | can't say anything about a fellow and | his plans if the scheme is one to give | the customers a break. Griff argues against some criticism that the Nationals would be a shade less effective on defense with Sammy West's place being taken over by Fred Schulte, late of the Browns. Schulte, says Griffith, is a sure-fire fielder, fast and sturdy of leg and a far better hitter than Sam. He lauds the outfield work of his former center flelder, but believes that Fred will give plenty of protection out there in the. meadow, plus something Sam was not able to do last year at the plate. Schulte is a powerful puncher at bat. To prove that Uncle knew his way | they curtailed the judge’s authority . . around the trading marts in New York this week I was tipped off just But a query on the subject to Grif- fith only brings the enswer that he is | after “a winning combination.” Post-meeting Thoughts.
