SPORTS Kuhel’s Ankle Heals, Susko Loses Job : Duffer’s Tautness is Despair of Pro CRIFFITH TO SELL | SUB FIRST SACKER Nats’ Pinch Player Makes Mark With Five Hits in Six Times at Bat. BY JOHN B. KELLER. UT in Cleveland last Septem- ber 17, Pete Susko helped himself to five hits in six times at bat, scored three runs and drove over as many. He was swinging for the Washington ball club that day. But Pete will not be swinging for the same club next year. That's the lowdown on the Susko situation straight from Clark Grif- fith, big boss of the Nationals. Susko is to be shipped because Griffith has been informed that the ankle Joe Kuhel had fractured in a fray with the Tigers here last June is healing nicely and that this clever fielder and hard hitter will be quite fit to resume his job at first base in the next cham- ionship campaign. X suskc? hap;?ens to be a first base- man, too. but nowhere near Kuhel's class. He lacked a lot of polish as he performed for the Nationals after | being brought to them from Albany | by way of Knoxville last August. In fact, he is not regarded as good as Red Kress around the initial station. So Susko will be sold down river, | not used for trading. And it will beV‘ up to Kress to understudy Kuhel next season. Susko Hits for Eight Bases. - 4 CCORDING to figures coming from American League head- quarters, however, Susko was the | only National in the past campaign to come through in an exceptional way on attack. He happened to be one of only five players who socked safely. five times in six trips to the plate in a game. ; Earl Averill of the Indians did 0| on two occasions. Eddie Morgan of the Red Sox, Bob Johnson of the Athletics and Goose Goslin of the Tigers each had one game with such a hot hand | Susko was in a great hitting mood | that day in Cleveland and he pun- ished some high-grade pitching. He got to Oral Hildebrand, a crack right- hander when he wants to be, for a triple and a single. Then he smacked | big Bob Weilant, portsider, for a single and a double. And he wound up his | batting spree with a single at the | right-handed Clint Brown's expense. | But Susko was far ahead of him- gelf that day. His batting mark for two months of carpaigning with the Nationals was somewhere in the .280s. Not heavy enough to offset his lack | of finesse afield. Manush Crashes Records. EINIE MANUSH was the only National other than Susko to figure prominently in the big= game statistics, but the big Dutchman | was not up with the leaders. Heinie twice got four hits in five times at bat and once banged for 11 bases in a solitary set-to. He also | drove over six runs in one game and twice pushed across as many as four. | Heinie was the only National to hit as many as two homers in one engage- | ment and he also got into the records | by thumping two triples in a single fray. Other Nationals to crash these one- | game records were Buddy Myer, Eddie Phillips, Cecil Travis, Joe Cronin, Fred Schulte, Clif Bolton and Johnny Kerr. Myer twice got four hits in five | times up and once socked for eight bases in a game. Phillips and Travis each got four hits in five times at bat and Travis once walloped for seven bases in a game. Cronin got in by driving over four runs in a free man- ner. Once he sent in five in a game and twice he hit across four. Schulte, Bolton and Kerr each had a game record of four runs sent over. Hoag, Bob Johnson Leaders. "\NLY two American League bats- | men, Myril Hoag of the Yankees | and Bob Johnson of the A's, made six hits in six times at bat in a single game the past season. All of Hoag's six were singles, but Johnson rapped three singles, a double and two homers. Bob's batting spree enabled him to lead the league with total bases, 13, for one game. Lou Gehrig of the Yanks was the leader at driving in runs in a game. Twice he pushed across as many as seven. Bill Cissell of the Red Sox managed to accomplish this feat in one game. Gehrig five times made as many as four hits in four times at bat and accumulated seven or more bases with his hits in 14 games. Gehrig shared with Roger Cramer of the Athletics and Julius Solters of the Red Sox the honor of hitting for the cycle in a single game. Batting | against White Sox pitching on June 25 Lou cracked a homer, triple, dou- ble and single. Cramer did that against Yankee flinging on June 10 and Solters against Tiger twirling on August 19. They had their days. SUNDAY SCHOOL LOOP BASKET BALL GAMES 30). Lat. Day 8ts. (21). TS, . Pts. 7 McCarthy.f. 2 Lybertt _ Howells.g... Totals. . . 1! .

AN PEDRO, Calif., December 1.— ‘Tanned and “itching for things to start again,” Mickey Coch- rane, manager of the Detroit Tigers, American League base ball champions, arrived today from a vacation in Australia aboard the liner Mariposa. Asked what he thought of a rumored deal several weeks ago that would have sent Charley Gehringer, Detroit second baseman, to another club, Cochrane said he had heard nothing of it. “But if it's true, that's the worst news I've heard since they told me Dizzy Dean was going to pitch the seventh game of the world series,” he stated. CUBS STILL SEEK ANOTHER HURLER Grimm Is Ready to Trade Cuyler or English for Slab Starter. By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, December 1.—Charlie | Grimm’s campaign to tear} the Chicago Cubs apart and put them back together with | new parts is not finished yet, if he | can find some one willing to swap a | good starting pitcher for Kiki Cuyler, or, if necessary, Woody English. Grimm 1s pretty well satisfied with what he accomplished at the minor league meeting at Louisville last week, but still yearns for another starting hurler. The Cub pilot won individual hon- ors in trading at Louisville when he swapped Jim Weaver, Guy Bush and Babe Herman to Pittsburgh, for Southpaw Larry French and Freddy Lindstrom and Bud Tinning and Dick Ward to the world champion St. Louis Cardinals, for Tex Carleton. Not Bad Off Now. 5 E ARE pretty well set with Lon Warneke, Bill Lee, French and Carleton for starters, but I still want to trade for another one. “There are several teams that would like to have Cuyler, English or Stan Hack. and we might be able to make a deal with them. I don’t want to give up English unless I absolutely | have to. He can play three infield positions, and I want to keep him for utility. “We can let Cuyler go as we have Chuck Klein, Tuck Stainback and Frank Demaree for our regular out- field next season, and it's hardly fair to expect a man of Cuyler’s ability to | sit on the bench most of the time.” | Grimm hopes to make that deal during the major league meeting ntl | New York, December 11. ! SANTA ANITA GETS TWO DERBY KINGS Mominations of Cavalcade, Twenty Grand Added to Impressive List. BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. OS ANGELES, December 1.— Two Kentucky Derby winners, Cavalcade and Twenty Grand, were added today to the im- pressive list of nominations for the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap here February 23. With the exception of Discovery, which went bad in training, almost every big stake winner of the last season was included in the ever-grow- ing field, including Equipoise, Mate, Mr. Khayyam and Gallant Sir. Besides Cavalcade, 1934 champion, Mrs. Dodge Sloan entered Good'Goods, 3-year-old colt of the Brookmeade Stables. Twenty Grand, active rival of Equipoise for several‘seasons, was brought out of retirement several months ago and has been pointed for this race. Twenty Grand won the Derby in 1931. Seek Money-Winning Title. QUIPOISE, along with Mate, will | be shooting at the title of world’s leading money-winner, now held by Sun Beau, since their earnings to date, plus the $100,000 added money for this event, would put them well over the $376,744 amassed by the big thoroughbred, now in retirement. Mate is expected to leave England | { Monday. His earnings are $297,660, compared with $338,450 for Equipoise. Sixteen nominations were made to- day, bringing the total to 48. Besides Twenty Grand and Cavalcade, there were Mr. Khayyam, Good Goods, Gil- lie, Thomasville, Teralice, Indiantown, Polydorus, Mad Frump, Stickson, Lar- ranga, San Cloud, Ted Clark, Tick On and Azucar. Among those previously named were Statesman, Ladysman, Faireno, Gay World, 8ir Thomas, Head Play, Gal- lant Sir, Riskulus, Chance Line, Royal Blunder, Pomposity, Semaphore, Boardwalker and Trombone. It was the opinion of Webb A. Ever- ett, secretary of the racing club, that approximately 20 of those nominated would start.

He removes from | the water many species of food fish| not classed as game fish, and also | many predatory fish. «yN MY contact with anglers and | commercial fishermen I have been | impressed with the fact that both ! groups at times have blamed the other for destruction of a fishery. For in-| stance, the anglers fishing for blue- fish in Chesapeake Bay ofttimes com- plain that the commercial fisherman is ruining this fishery. I wonder if the sportsmen have ever heard the other side of the story, as I have, that the commercial fisherman blames the sportsmen for breaking up the schools of bluefish so that he, the commercial fisherman, is unable to make the catch. I think instances of this na- ture are really the crux of the situ- ation, for, in the past we have had but little meeting of the minds rela- tive to controversies between anglers and commercial fishermen. “If our commercial fishermen can get together with the anglers on the different problems existing or that may arise, I believe that there is an equal chance for them to co-operate in effecting conservation. The ex- tremists among both groups in their zeal to oonserve certain debatable species of fish may rush to the State House with a proposed bill which the other group may never have heard of until they learn of the committee hearings, thereby erecting opposition to the actual passing of the law which might otherwise be avoided. All too often these bills have received too lit- tle consideration before being pre- sented to the State legislators, and, as a result, we find that many of them have a most adverse effect. How | much better it would be for both groups to get together before such bills are presented. I believe the re- sult would be more and better con- servation legislation. “ URING my work with the N. R. A. I contacted thousands of persons en in the commercial fishery industry. It would be hard to find a better or more con- scientious lot of men. I am sure this group will co-operate with the anglers in developing any program to sustain our fish supply. In fact, these men have made the first overtures. In September members of the National Fishery Code Authority met with the National Planning Council of Fishery Conservation Commissioners in Mon- treal during the American Fisheries Society meeting. This is the first time in history that these two groups have assembled around the table to discuss their common problems. More will come of this meeting when local groups gather in the various zones in the country to discuss conservation. ‘They will, no doubt, settle many con- troversies still pending between anglers and the commercial fishermen.” In closing, Mr. Fiedler said: “I wish into your confidence the next time you | think there ought to be a law. Coun- sel with him at round-table discus- sions, and I believe you will be sur- prised at the favorable results.” HE bass season above tide water closed Friday in Maryland and west of the Blue Ridge Moun- tains in Virginia. A long spell of | clear water brought some good re- sults. But at the close of the sea- son—on the last day. in fact—heavy | rains muddied all streams in this vicinity. Upland game hunters have the up- per hand over nimrods seeking ducks. Plenty of quail and turkeys are re- ported in Virginia, but rabbits are rather scarce this season. The duck season so far as been exceedingly poor. There must be a lot of game in Maryland also, according to & letter from E. Lee Le Compte, Maryland State game warden, which he asked to be published. The letter said: “Ernest N. Smith, executive vice president of the American Automobile Association, has called our attention to complaints coming from A. A. A. members riding over Maryland roads to the effect that hunters are very careless in shooting near traveled highways. Such action is very un- becoming the hunting public in Maryland, and very serious accidents may occur from such practices. “‘Whether it be a State or a county highway, hunters should not shoot across or in the vicinity of any trav- eled roads. I am sure that the ma- jority of the hunters in Maryland do not desire to cause any casualties and would be grief-stricken if their carelessness was the cause of some one being injured. We appeal to you at this time not to hunt or shoot near traveled highways at any time.” Straight Off Tee ECOVERING from an attack of toxic poisoning which almost cost his life, Dick Lunn, the 1933 District champion, plans to spend the first half of the Winter resting and playing a little golf. Few pecple know that Dick was desperately ill in Sep- tember and that for several days his life was despaired of. But the young man is feeling much better and is again playing good golf. He may go to Florida to spend part of the Winter. Obviously, he has not been able to return to college at Princeton. “What is this golf game all about, anyhow,” asks Jerry Blazek of Wash- ington. For after shooting a 73 on Wednesday and feeling pretty cocky about his game Blazek went out against his arch enemy, Thurston Furr, and took about 86 whacks, losing to Furr, who goes him one better for cockiness. “Let that be a lesson to you,” said Furr, ‘not to get out of your class.” OAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY golfers have just wound up their most successful golf season with Mark L.

Davie shook his head “That's a tough question” he burred in his best High Country Scottish. “But I guess they are all hard for the duffer, who insists on getting himself into the most uncomfortable position he can find, contorting his body into a posture even the Greeks couldn’t put in marble, and then try- ing to hit the ball with every muscle strained and tense.” “That's right,” said Al “but get- | ting cdown to brass tacks, I think the average duffer has more real trouble | with the pitching clubs and the in- termediate iron clubs than he does He can use the old base ball swing with the wood and get away with it, because the face of the club is so big it gives him confidence and he loosens up those straining muscles.

So what does he do? He attempts to over= come one fault with another and by the time he has stretched all those muscles into an unnatural pose he cannot hit even the fairway with the shot—let alone the putting green.” No Strain on Muscles. = EP, that’s right.” said Thomson. “It's the hardect thing we have to do, to get the average golfing duffer to relax. He is so full of theory, so crammed with ideas, mostly wrong, that when he comes to the pro our first job is to get him to hit the ball naturally, with relaxed muscles. And the biggest job of all is to have him swing like a boy, in a nat- ural groove. If he would only forget his muscles entirely, swing the club like he would swing an ax and remember that the club-head is the hitting object and not his hands or his shoulders, he would get along much But what happens? He become locked as if in a concrete slab, a wild heave at the ball and he hits it on the toe or on the top: he flings the club away and gives up the game, all because he wouldn't relax those muscles. I have had men cdme i from a round of golf complaining that every muscle in their arms and shoulders was sore. Golf is not an athletic game of that type. All the muscles are used in the golf swing, particularly those in the back. but there shouldn’t be any reason for soreness in any of ‘em. They are not called upon for any strenuous work. “But you see many a fellow come in complaining of aching muscles | when he shouldn't have had anything more than a mild muscular work- out.” “One of the hardest things I have to contend with.” said Houghton, “is to make your average golfer believe that the golf swing is a mixture of a lot of small moves. And right at the start of the swing you will find him taking the club back with his hands. Nothing will wreck a shot quicker than to have the first movement made with the hands. The initial move- ment is made with the hips and the body. and the hands follow along naturally, as they have to do.
