BALLYHOO SCHENE HERE LED BY GRIFF Offers Park and Trophies to High Schools—Moriarty BY JOHN B. KELLER. ASE ball spends plenty in Is Traveling Emissary. ballyhoo that brings little in return, so it certainly is surprising that it keeps un- | der cover a movement calculated to do it much good and besides get a deal of favorable publicity. We refer to the base ball educa- tional work that Umpire George Moriarty carries on under the sponsorship of the American | League. George has been instruct- | ing the young idea in the virtues of the national pastime the past two Winters, it seems, yet not a peep about it has come to the press from base ball headquarters. In carrying on his educational cam- paign, it appears Moriarty has confined his activities mainly to rural localities. He has hit the larger towns infre- quently. Thus the sports scribes of the bigger cities who would willingly have helped in furthering this worth-while work did not hear of it. And there has been no disposition on the part of the American League to tell them about it. Odd, too, as for several years the waning popularity of base ball as a sport among the collegiates and scho- lastics of the country has caused an acute pain in the necks of the big- league moguls. Such a pain that they have yelled loudly for relief, but seem- ingly unable to suggest a remedy them- selves. OT until the sport was threatened with extinction, so far as the! Washington high schools were con- cerned, was anything learned here of Moriarty's missionary work and then | the information did not come from a base ball source. But for a friend in- terested in sports generally and base ball particularly, who happened to stumble across information relative to the umpire’s Winter work, we would still be in the dark. Bul that’s base ball's way of handling any proposition that has nothing directly to do with the game on the field or in the money chests. Clark Griffith, president of the Na- tionals, of co . has known what Moriarty has been doing. He admitted that today. But not until it appeared base ball in the city high schools was doomed did the Washingion prexy begin to think there might be something §00d in Moriarty's line. vhen first Tech and then Roosevelt nder over the advisability national pastime Gruifiith really got busy. Not only did he offer a perpetual trophy to be put up for 2n annual high school base bail series, but a yearly team trophy. medals r members of the winning e and rds for the “most valuable” play- ers. He also has tendered the use of Griffith Stadium for the high school | title scrics and topped it off by mak-| ing almost frantic endeavors to locate Moriarty that he might bring him to Washington to preach base ball to the | scholastics. Now it seems that Tech will continue | base ball. Three other high schools announced some time ago they would carry on with the game. Only Roose- velt still is doubtful. But that’s not enough for Griffith. The game of his heart has been threatened in a way that hurts deeply—and right in his home town, too. So he's looking lor“ r. Moriarty that the intellectual ump | might tell the boys what a great game is basc ball and how bad it would be for them to quit it. ¥ ETTING hold of Dr. Moriarty, | though, is something else. When | last heard of he was doing mis- sionary work in and around Boston. As| they are doing in other big cities, the, boys of Boston are being weaned from the national pastime, so Morry was hustled there to do a good turn. Grif- fith was unable to locate the good doc- tor in Beantown and, as a last resort, he has wired William Harridge, presi- dent of the American League, to track down Morry and get him here pronto. According to reports of his Boston efforts, the man who played such a storiing third base in the big show be- fore he became an umpire, made a big hit with the New England schoolboys. There’s no reason why he shouldn't. Besides knowing his subject thoroughly, Moriarty is a personable character and a speaker of parts. He drives to a point quickly, too. That no doubt comes, from his newspaper experience. He is an accomplished writeér on sports. In talking to the New England | youngsters, Morry, the Boston yarns told, warmed right up on his subject in | an entertaining way, embracing all| angles of the game from the comic side | to the more serious business. He | sketched the inception of the game from the time Abner Doubleday, who later fired the first gun at Fort Sumter | to start the Civil War. first traced out the initial diamond at Cooperstown, N, Y And he tried to make the way soft for the rest of the umpires when he ex- | plained to the boys that umpires, after all, are only humans. Athletics and good citizenship go hand in hand, was Morry's claim. He told the boys the lessons learned on the athletic ficld have contributed to the upbuilding of the country. All through his talk, the good doctor kept base ball to the fore. | Great work, Morry. Carry on. And we hope Griffith succeeds in getting you here to talk to the Washington school boys. We'd like to hear you talk, too. Rockville in Walk Away. ROCKVILLE. Md..

Allen Hall Offers S;ldium For High Series LARK GRIFFITH, president of the Washington ball club, has offered Griffith Stadium for the public_high school diamond series next Spring, in the hope of stimu- lating interest in the national pas- time among schoolboys here. It is expected the offer will be accepted. The games the last few seasons have been played in. the Eastern High Stadium and the attendance has been decidedly discour: 3 The Old Fox also will award a large trophy to the winner of the 1933 series and will present this re- ward annually. In addition, he will offer medals to members of the winning team and trophies for the most valuable player, leading hitter and the leading fielders among both inflelders and outfielders. Griffith plans to appear with George Moriarty, veteran umpire, at assemblies of high school students here to tell of the glories of base ball. Moriarty is on a lecture tour in the interest of the e, which is taking him all over East this ‘Winter, TONES TITLE PLAY Eastern Springs a Surprise to Tie Series—RooseveI; Trims Western, OW for the fight. And what a grand scrap the battle for the public high school basket ball title now promises to become, following the stunning 35- 34 upset defeat handed Central yester- day by Eastern, defending titleholder. As the result, Central, which had won 20 straight until yesterday and was stepping out in front in the title race with four wins and with the path to the crown apparently clear ahead, is tied with the Indians. Each has won 4 games and lost 1. Roosevelt drubbed Western, 46 to 25, in the other game yesterday. The Rough Riders now have 2 wins and 3 losses in the series to stand fourth, be- hind the third-place Tech team, with 2 victories and 2 defeats. Western is a poor last, with five losses in as many starts. ENTRAL idles in the series Friday, but Eastern meets Roosevelt and may find the Rough Riders not so easy, either. In fact, the Braves con- quered Roosevelt only 35 to 32 in their first-round encounter. There's nothing Coach Lynn Woodworth’s boys relish more than thre the well-known monkey wrench in the way of an am- bitious team. Soundly licked, 51 to 29, in their first-round tilt with Central, the Kelley- coach Eastern quint was given only the fightingest sort of chance to throt- youngsters from out Capitol Hill way. To little Tommy Nolan goes most of the credit for the Indians’ triumph. He seemed unable to miss the basket, and his floor manuevers had the Streaks, themselves experts in this de- partment, bewildered time and again. What a game that kid played. Early in the tilt he received a jagged cut abtu the eye, but, wiping the blood away with disdain thrusts, he pro- ceeded to carry on in & style that seemed almost Inspired. Then there were Al Waters, who counted 10 points; Dizzy Dean, Tom Davis and Jack Bayliss. Al played bang-up ball. ASTERN for some time has per- formed in improved style and while it was expected to do better against Central than in their first meeting, few gave the Indians a real chance. Central's play was not up to standard, but nothing can be said or fho!lifld be said to gelrld from the re- lentless apparent hopeless fight waged by the Easterners. i i Carroll Shore, Bill Burke et al. struck back desperately, but they just couldn't subdue the fighting Capitol Hillers, Eastern was off strangly and led, 9 to 4, at the end of the first quarter, and still was in front, 17 to 11, at the half. Central lashed back desperately in the third period to gain the lead at 21-19, but Nolan caged a pot shot to even the score at 21-all and Waters and Shore each scored to bring the count to 23-all as the third period ended. In_the final period Waters. Nolan and Dean found the hoop to give East- ern a lead it never relinquished, though Central, struggling furiously, came within a single point of tying the score on goals by Nau, Burke and Shore just before the final gun barked. 'ESTERN flared at the start against Roosevelt, gaining an early lead | and ‘managing to stay in front until Billy Harris and Joe Sherman entered the game in the second period. Then the Rough Riders went to the front and were never headed. Summaries: Centrsl (34) GF. Tipton, Totals ...15 434 Referee—J. Mitchell (A. B.). . Mitchell (A. B.). Roosevelt (46). Western (24).

While no financial statement of the international classic has been made, this figure was revealed in a statement from the Community Development As- sociation that it “hoped to con- tribute to the city and county of Los Angeles the final surplus of the Olym- pic games, in the neighborhood of $150,000.” The Los Angeles Organizing Com- mittee, almost the same as the Com- munity Development Association, has announced it would retire the boncs of a million dollars, voted by the State Legislatuie for promotion of the games | The $55,000 premium on the bonds also Wil be paid. HIS would raise the net over op- erating_expenseS to approximately $1.200.000. "Such costs as construction and handling of the Olympic village and additions to the various games sites, estimated at half a million dol- lars, were not covered by the bond issue. On the basis of these figures, it was unofficially said that the gross gate re- ceipts for the games, which were the m:d successful lr‘i‘n):nmlgnul any ever , were 8 Tt of - 000,000. 5 i A friendly suit is now before Supe- rior Court to determine the proper manner in which to retire the bonds.
