B-12 NATS NOW HAVE 15 SPORTS. PITCHERS AT HAND Quintet of Vets Nucleus for New Staff—Few Good Rooks Available. C but even though his Winter quest prove unsuccessful, the Nationals’ prexy still should have an oversize flock of flingers to turn over to Manager Bucky Harris at the Biloxi training camp. Of the 33 players at present in reserve to the Washington ball club, 15 are pitchers. At least, they are listed as such. Of course, no few of those the big boss of the Nationals has picked up here and there since last Summer will do a fade-out before the training grind winds up. But Griffith believes he will have left a fair lot of youngsters to back up his veteran moundsmen at the start of the next championship campaign. There will be few additions to the present lot unless Griffith can make BY JOHN B. KELLER. LARK GRIFFITH continues to cast about for pitchers, what he considers fair deals with his | rivals in the American League. Before he’ll fall for a hold-up, he gays, he'll take his chance with the stock at hand. A Lot of Names, Anyway. ~ OOKING over the reserve list of Washington pitchers, one finds several veterans who should go well again, and some young talent that promises to make a brave bid for berths on what was revealed in brief trials last season. Here's the full list of Washington pitching stock: Veterans, first-class—Earl White- hill, Monte Weaver, Jack Russell, Wal- ter Stewart and Bob Burke. Veterans, second-class—Al Thomas and Alex McColl. Near-veterans, class questionable— Ed Linke and Ray Prim. Recruits with ratings—Orville Arm- brust and Reese Diggs. Recruits, so-so—Syd Cohen and Leon Pettit. Recruits—Archie Jack Redmond. Well, that is a lot of names anyway. Scrivener and Much Soupbone Trouble. HAT group of veterans, first class ' should make a pretty good nucleus for a big league staff. But back of te five, one might draw names from a hat and get as good a supporting flock for the old-timers as by any other method. The elderly McColl battled bravely with that creaking soupbone last sea- son and got nowhere. Thomas tried with a soupbone that had been patch- ed much earlier in life with no more satisfactory result. Nothing depend- able in this pair, it appears. And there still is soupbone trouble in the near-veteran class. Linke's “dead” arm still has the docs puzzled. If the limb gets right again, the re- formed fat boy should make a go of it on the hill. But it's a big “if.” And Prim in his two trials with the Nationals left much to be desired. He's coming back from Albany still & doubtful quantity. Some Promise Here. HERE'S some hope in the rated % recruits. The right-handed 4 Armbrust, brought up from the Chattanooga farm late last season, while not a “natural” in appearance got along right well in his few big- time workouts. He revealed enough to lead those in charge of the Nationals to believe he is not so far away from the major stage. About the same goes for the youth- ful Diggs, who, by the way, came to | the Nationals last Summer almost asa gift. The Maryland boy looked so 8ood as a batting practice pitcher that Griffith, at Joe Cronin's urgence, took him on in September. And Diggs right- handed some slick-looking stuff for his ball club. The 18-year-old showed a ball plenty fast and the veterans of the Nationals stamped him a great prospect. Cohen and Pettit are left-handers, the latter with some age on him, and with a club already jammed with left- hand pitchers it does not look so bright for this pair from Chattanooga. Griffith Still Hopeful. CRIVENER, the Alexandria sand- lotter, and Redmond, a product of the Virginia Valley, probably have far to go before reaching big league heights. ‘That sums up the Nationals’ present pitching stock. There is little to boast about back of the veterans, first-class. Yet Griffith and Harris may be com- pelled to experiment for some time with the lesser lights. Too bad the Washington boss could not pick up a pair of experienced per- formers at the New York meetings of the majors. Something like Bump Hadley of the Browns and Leslie Tietje of the White Sox might easily raise the Nationals’ slab staff to & high grade. Maybe something along the line of improvement will be done before the next championship season. Griffith is hoping so, despite his threats to stand pat.

SANITY OF FORMER GRID STAR DOUBTED Father of Rusty Gill, Ex-Bear, Files Complaint After Son’s Alleged Ruckuses. By the Associated Press. AKLAND, Calif., December 15.— Ralston (“Rusty”) Gill, former University of California foot ball star, who officers said was in- volved in a row yesterday with a Stanford University coach and who today caused a police riot call here, was named today in an insanity com- plaint signed by his father, Frank Gill. A hearing was scheduled for Thurs- day. One of young Gill's doctors, who asked that his name not be used, said the condition did not arise from foot ball injuries. The youth, fifth of a foot ball fam- ily famous at the university, caused a police riot call at an Oakland serv- ice station this morning. Allegedly, he demanded from the operator & nickel to make a telephone call on threat of “wrecking” the station. He was under treatment for a long period for arthritis and Thursday night left the hospital on a trip to Palo Alto. During the evening he at- tempted to beat Jim Lawson, Stan- ford coach, with a bottle, officers said. Gill married Nan Louise Joy of Oakland and formefly of Santa Maria last January, and they were divorced in Reno recently. ROOSEVELT BY A SQUEAK Scores 21-20 Basket Ball Win Over Alexandria High.

EW YORK, December 15.—Bill Terry, manager of the Glants, signed a peace pact with New York base ball writers today just before heading South to Mem- phis and his new 100-acre farm. Terry called the scribes, with whom he has been feuding for years, around the luncheon table. Both sides laid their cards face up in two hours’ of grievance airing. In the end Terry agreed that per- haps he has been ultra-independent, which condition developed largely be- cause of his unfamiliarity with handi- caps and conditions under which newspaper reporters and photog- raphers labor. Gives in to Camera Men. HEN it was brought out that during the training trip to ' Miami last Spring some of the reporters were not able to contact Terry for as long as two weeks at & time, Terry agreed to receive the press at least once a day during the forth- coming training jaunt. Also he promised to ditch the edict which barred photographers from snapping the Giants at the Polo Grounds later than 1:30 p.m. About the only other news to come out of the love feast was Terry’s state- ment that he believes he has the best club since he took charge of the Giants, and his confidence that he can sign Carl Hubbell, his star south- paw, in two minutes, despite the fact that Hubbell is reported to be peeved because he was offered in a trade dur- ing the minor league meeting at Louisville, FIVE SOCCER TILTS ON PROGRAM TODAY Miller Furniture, Italian A.

A HANLEY PRAISED AS HE QUITS 0B President, Alumni, Athletes, Students Express Regard for Resigned Coach, By the Assoclated Press. VANSTON, Ill, December 15.— For a man whose resignation came unwillingly, Dick Hanley formally ended his connection with Northwestern’s gridiron affairs today with more bouguets than many | a coach has won for turning out a championship team. | to Hanley's announcement merely made official something that has been known for several days, but he stepped out of the job, after eight years, with nothing but praise from Dr. Walter Dill Scott, president; the alumni, athletes and students. In accepting the resignation, forced by opposition from within the faculty, Dr. Scott characterized Hanley as “one of the greatest foot ball coaches in America,” and assured him of sup- port in quest of a position for next year. His statement made it clear that faculty feeling was the reason for Hanley's departure from Evanston, he said. Hanley declared he left without rancor toward any one connected with the university, and with no apologies for his record. With Hanley’s resignation, it was reported that Ossie Solem, head coach at Iowa, would fill the Northwestern vacancy. There was no comment from either Jowa or Northwestern, however. Also said to be under consideration were Dana X. Bible of Nebraska and George Veenker of Iowa State College. WILSON IS TRAPS STAR Walter S.

The one-mile and one-eighth fea- ture, climaxing the first meeting of the new Bay Meadows track, will pit 12 outstanding thoroughbreds and America’s greatest jockeys for a purse that nearly doubles the highest stakes offered during the golden turf era from the 80s to 1909.
