WASHINGTON, D. £, SATURDA MARCH 23, 19 35. Griff Mound Vets Nearing Top Feitle : Phillies HARRIS HANDLES THEN WITH CARE Whitehill and Burke Show | Well, Though Beaten in Battle With Tribe. BY JOHN B. KELLER, Btaff Correspondent of The Star. OBILE, Ala, March 23.— Washington's veteran pitch- ers will have reached the peak in their training by the time camp is broken at Biloxi next week, says Manager Bucky Harrls. So | fine will be their condition, he insists that during the barnstorming home- | ward trip the hurlers will be worked only enough to bring them down to the season's start right on edge. Over- training carefully will be avoided. Four of the eight experienced pitch- ers now have shown their wares under fire. Ed Linke, the stocky right- hander, did a good piece of work against Albany at Gulfport and clearly indicated that the mysterious ailment that stopped his arm cold last year has been eradicated. Jack Russell was not at his best because of a cold when he faced the Indians at Biloxi Thurs- day, but there is no cause for worry about his condition. Minus the cold he will be quite fit. Southpaws Do Well. ARL WHITEHILL and Bob Burke, left-handers, to whom Harris looks for much fine flinging this year, appeared to advantage yesterday in their debuts, although the Indians managed to take the measure of the Natfonals, 3 to 0, on Biloxi Field. Today, against the Kansas City club | here, Bump Hadley, brought back from the Browns in the Winter, and Monte Weaver, thriving once more since he resumed a meat diet, were to make their season bows. Tomorrow Al ‘Thomas and Walter Stewart are likely to get their first tests of the training campaign. Then all the veterans will have demonstrated whether time has taken undue toll of their salary wings. Whitehill was touched for four hits and & run by the Indians in his five- inning session on the slab, yet he was fast and had plenty on his curve ball Wildness affected his pitching at the outset. Two of the five passes he gave were handed the Tribe in the first inning. and in this same frame he made a wild pitch. It was not until the Earl's last in- ning, the fifth, that the Indians scored, | however. Kamm opened the attack with a two-bagger, moved up when! Vosmik sent a long fly to Manush and crossed on Trosky's towering arch to — | Burke's Hook Fools 'Em. | URKE came along to chuck a right smooth four frames. He had a wide hook that baffled the In- dians, and he had good control of it. too. He also displaved a change of pace that looked better than any used before in his career with the Nationals The stringbean southpaw allowed the Tribe one pass and two hits. The two hits accounted for the two tallies oft him in the eighth. One, a scratch bounced off the pitcher's gloved hand by Averill, was followed by an honest wallop, & homer rifled far above the center fielder's head by Hale. The drive was slightly misjudged by Pow- ell. Fooled by the tricky sky, he first ran in for the ball. But had Jake broken properly for the drive at the outset he would have had no chance to make a catch. That ball was hit. It was an off day for the Washing- ton batters. Only three hits were rapped by them, all off Clint Brown, right-hander, who went for the In- dians the first six innings. Powell, Stone and Kress got these. Powell's was a bunt, Stone's a well-crashed | clout to left and Kress' a Texas Leaguer to center. It wasn't such a hot power display. Thornton Lee, portsider, twirled through the last | three innings and not a National would have reached first but for a fumble by Shortstop Kamm. Whitehill Gets Wild Start. | HERE is a decided Southern Asso- | ciation complexion to the two clubs that battled yesterday at Biloxi. The Indians are carrying 14 graduates of the Dixle circuit and the Nationals just as many. Birmingham and Chattanooga supplied most of the Washington players. Cleveland got its down-South lot from New Orleans. When the Nationals begin to draw more heavily on Albany and Cleveland | begins to fill its ranks with American | Association talent a couple of civil| ‘wars may break out in the American | League. | ‘Whitehill had a tough start against | the Indians. He wes as wild as a knight with ants in his armor, Made | & wild pitch and walked two in the first frame. It took a fancy catch | by Jack Stone to get the Earl by the round. Berger, the Washington boy | who can't hit—according to the Cleveland scribes—lined a beauty to center at the outset of the second aeasion. Manush lost about all sav glory as he made a sparkling side- | retiring catch in the third. His cap flew away, his shirt tail pulled loose from its moorings, his baggy breeches barely elung to his huge frame as he tore in from deep left to get Wright's looper. Third One Goes by Earl. HITEHILL, with two against him, let a good one go by in the third. “Strike three, he’s out,” yelled the colorful Steam- boat Johnson, then added, “And he knew it Myer was the first of the Nationals to see first base. He drew a pass from Clint Brown after Powell had skied | out in the fourth. Stone got the first hit. He singled in the same round following Manush’s erasure. But Kuhel couldn’t help. A boner by Bolton let Averill advance a base in the scoring ffth. After Kamm crossed .he catcher, holding the ball, took time out to rague with Umpire Johnson. That let Averill go down from first before Bolton realized what was going on. Redmond went behind the bat in the sixth to show some really fine receiving. He made & spectacular catch of George's foul. He sprinted nearly 100 feet to grab the ball off the bat pile in front of the Washington bench. 1t was tailor's day yesterday at Biloxi Field. The Nationals were measured for their 1935 uniforms. The club ordered 28 white suits for home wear and as many gray ones o the road. A Jury Call Adds To Grimm’s Woes | HICAGO, March 23 (#).—Unless Pederal Judge Jobn P. Barnes is a base ball fan, Manager Charlie Grimm of the Chisago Cubs may have to sandwich in some jury duty with his master-minding on the field in April. It is revealed that Grimm, who already has ailing pitchers and lack of hitting about which to worry, has been summoned for petit jury service throughout April in Judge Barnes' court. However, it may be necessary to send the sher- iff after the Cub pilot, who is not due In Chicago, according to the exhibition schedule, until April 5. BRADDOCK STAL FSTIC UPSETTER 3-1 Shot, He Beats Lasky. Carnera Jolts Garden by | Booking Louis. [ TR | By the Associated Press. | EW YORK, March 23.—The apparent winner of Madison Square Garden's heavyweight elimination tournament, James J. Braddock of Jersey City awoke today and wondered just where he would go from here. A 3-to-1 outsider in the betiing despite his reputation for fistic up- sets, Braddock gave Art Lasky, Min- neapolis youngster, an artistic beating last night in & 15-round bout that threatened to bring the tournament to an abrupt and indecisive finish. Yankee Stadium Gets Bout. NOT many hours before Braddock completed his conquest of Lasky, Primo Carnera, the only other winner the tournament developed, an- nounced he was breaking loose from the Garden to sign fo; a 15-round bout with Joe Louls, sensation®1 Negro from Detroit, in the Yankee Stadium June 19 under the promotorial aus- pices of Mike Jacobs. Primo’s managers indicated they were upset by reports that the win- ner of the elimination tournament wouldn't get a shot at Max Baer's title at all—that Max Schmeling al- ready has been lined up for a Baer fight in the Garden's Long Island bowl in June Jimmy Johnston, Garden fight di- rector, insisted he had an oral agree- ment with Carnera’s managers that big Primo would remain in the elimi- nations, and said he still hoped to get Carnera and Braddock together in a week or two. Braddock Is Aggressive. RADDOCK fought a slugging match against Lasky and the Middle Westerner never really got himself untracked. All of Lasky's advantage in weight— it was just short of 15 pounds—did him no good at all in the face of Braddock's aggressive attack, a right- hand drumfire for which Lasky had no adequate defense. Braddock seemed to tire around about the sixth round. but he came back with an attack that had Lasky bewildered from there on Braddock’s decisive victory brought an ovation from the crowd of 10,143 customers, who paid $22.426.04 at the gate. Braddock weighed 182'¢ Lasky, 197. pounds; CANT CONSER PANANA A AN Get $15,000 Offer to Train There Next Year—Clubs Test Rook Hurlers. By the Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla.—The Braves will start one of their “kid” pitchers against the Yankees today. Manager Bill McKechnie says will be either Nefl or Heintzelman.

AN FRANCISCO.—The Chicago Cubs today headed into a busy week end during which three games, two of them on Sunday. will be played with Pacific Coast League clubs.

Not another pitcher in either league cranks himself for the plateward toss by corkscrewing arotnd to second base, gazing at the score board and the outfieid, giving a momentary squint at the dugout and winking derisively at the first base coach, be- fore finally he lets the pellet fly at the exasperated batsman. This vet- eran of many pennant campaigns is a riot of color; he's a fighter, a gen- tileman, a sporting proposition from the top step of his terraced black locks to the metal toe plate on his shoe. He is moody; at times seems sunk in contemplaiion of the blackest blacks. Again he will be a fast- spreading malady of deep frame- wracking mirth. In the dbstract he is quick solace for a time-harassed columnist; speaking concretely, he is the cartoonist’s day off. Another Step in Heavy Elimination Series Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto.

But along comes another Whitehill just the same. Earl's kid brother, | George Edward Whitehill, 19 years old and aspiring to a pitching career His appearance to what the now | famous left-hander's was more (for- give us, Earl) than a decade ago, Ed is slim everywhere but the shoul- ders. He is slightly below average ball-plaveig height. Facially he is marked unmistakablv as of that Cedar Rapids clan. The arched and heavy black brows overshadow gray- blue eves. He is quiet but friendly. and for a youngster, sports a droll and catchy sense of humor. But there is one serious obstacle in the path of his hurling success—he is a rizht-hander. No pitcher, opines the second of the Whitehills, ever can rise to the supreme heights of twirl- | ing. throwing the ball from the orthodox side. Of course not. Doesn’t Earl heave it from the south. TIhat makes the left side the right side. | But the little brother of the Na- | tionals’ ace moundsman has the de- | termination to carry on neverthe- | less. He has made up his mind to be | the second best the league ever has| | known. | HE elder Whitehill never had seen the next in line perform, | but had heard stories of the young fellow's prowess on the home- | town’s sandlots. Ed's diamond exper- | ience has been limited to the pitcher's | | box of the American Junior League | team of Cedar Rapids. He never has | | played in organized ball of any sort, | but he has vast hopes on the subject. Earl, on his return from the Orien*. | decided to bring Ed South to a big league training camp as a combina- | tion vacation and schooling trip, and | thus he has spent three weeks toiling | daily under the watchful eye of the | old master of the twisted wind-up. Whitehill senior reserves any but the barest comment on the kid brother’s showing. All he says is: “Not bad—not so bad considering the experience he’s had; matter of fact, I don't think I had half that much stuff when I was getting started.” Camp Base Ball By the Associated Press.
