Griffs Look to 1936 With Optimism : Sailing Races Sure io Attract Fans <« SEE REBUILT CLUB AS “TOUGH" QUTFIT Some of Vets Come to Life, Several Recruits Give Great Promise. BY FRANCIS E. STA UIETLY and painlessly local base ball for 1935 passes away today, but from the| twin viewpoint of “front office” and fans there is immediate consolation in the future. In fleeting retrospect, the campaign may appear one to go down among the Capital's sorrier diamond memo- ries, and yet a more complete autopsy might well promote cause for general optimism comparable to Clark Grif- fith’'s when he predicts: “We'll be a tough club next year.” As the Griffs wind up their home | geason today, little resemblance can be noted in the current club and the team which Bucky Harris herded | Southward last Spring. Harris was | as bitterly disappointed &s any one in the showing of his Nationals, whom | he regarded as strong enough to at least finish in the first division, but Bucky has wasted no time in taking out some insurance against a second straight disappointment One need not grow hysterical to say | that the team which bows out today against the Yankees will be a bet- ter and more pliable club next Spring than Harris' squad of last March. Spring Slab Slnfl Collapses. CARCELY had the present season opened than half a dozen cogs began to collapse. Lyn Lary, stance was to fill Joe Cronin’s shoes— or at least make a mighty try at it— but Lyn lasted only half a season. Walter Stewart was of no help, nor were Monte Weaver and Bob Burke, &ll of whom have long since departed. Among them, they turned in three victories as against 10 defeats. Thus was the nucleus of a promising pitch- ing staff, on paper, at least, shot to pieces. Nor was that all in the way of pitching trouble. Bump Hadley, ac- quired for $20.000 and Catcher Luke Sewell, failed to live up to expecta- tions and Jack Russell experienced one of his toughest seasons. The spearhead of the offense, Heinie Manush, floundered in the worst campaign of Lis 12-year career and finally one of the American League's great modern batsmen wound up on the bench. There also was the little item of Buck Newsom sustaining his purchase. Yet, with all of this, the Nationals are nearing the end of the campnxan\ reasonably certain of finishing sixth ~—a jump of one notch—and with a far better general record than the 1934 crew, which was the same band that won the championship in '33 and was wrecked by injuries. Causes for Optimism Plentiful. TODAY the Griffs are 27 games be- hind the pennant winner, whereas last year they were 34 games back. They are assured of finishing second to Detroit in team batting in the American League. Finally straight- ened out to some extent, they've been playing at a 509 pace for nearly a month. While the reasons for their down- fall are many, the causes for regard- ing the future with optimism far out- | number ‘em. For one thing, Chr Bolton has proved himself a big league catcher in his first full term behind the bag. Then Jake Fowell has fulfilled fondest hopes by blos- soming into a really fine outfielder. All doubts as to Ed Linke's arm, ! which was a big question mark in the Spring, are gone now. Ed prom- ises to be a winning pitcher. Buck Newsom has shown signs of being worth the 40 “grand” which Griff gave for him; Earl Whitehill has held up well despite advancing years: the outfield experiment involving Cecil Travis has been a pleasant revela- tion, and Buddy Myer is better than ever, VIEWING the flock of recruits as a \¥ whole, it is hard to see anything but promise. If not a big-league fielder, Bobby Estallella seems to have all the earmarks of a hitter and he is Recruits Promise Much. by far the most colorful National in | & decade. Buddy Lewis, who may divide the third base assignment with the Cuban next year, is a better player than he's lpoked and will de- velop all the time. Dee Miles may not play regularly next season, depending upon Whether Griff gets the outfielding object of his affection this Winter, but he'll be around and improving, without doubt. Johnny Mihalic, 2 second baseman may wind up by being shortstop. If not, Red Kress is likely to do a more than passable job. Henry Coppola, though hampered by a sore arm most of this season, has benefited by experience and has shown that he can win in the big show when ‘“right.” Dick Lanahan is regarded by Harris as a ‘“can't miss” proposition. Harris and Griffith have started a big job and done much in remarkably short time. The team today still is in its early stages of face-lifting, but even now it must be regarded as a better ball club, potentially, than the Nationals of Biloxi. ‘Three years ago—Santa Clara de- | feated California, 12-0, upset. in foot ball TUESDAY, SEPTE!

FULLERTON, Jr, Associated Press Sports Writer, HEN Charley Grimm, man- ager of the Cubs, traded Big Jim Weaver to Pitts- burgh last Winter, he probably didn't realize that the over- size right hander would pitch Chicago into the National League pennant.

HICAGO, September 24— Back to the pennant wars go the dashing Cubs tomorrow, determined to run their amazing winning streak to 29 games. ‘Tonight the Chicagoans, undefeat- ed in 18 straight games, pull out for St. Louis, where, starting tomorrow, the world champion Cardinals will attempt to break the grip the Cubs now have on the 1935 National League championship. "The goal of the Cubs 15 20 straight victories, which will give them the undisputed title. They must take two of the five games from the Cardinals to win, unless the Pi- rates lambast the gas house boys again today. Then only one victory will be sufficient. Ace Pitchers Ready. CHARLEY GRIMM, boss of the Cubs, is going to give the Cardinals the “works” right at the start, taking no chances at all, and waste no time do- ing it. Lonnie Warneke, the sturdy right-hander, will pitch against the Cardinals tomorrow, leaving Rill Lee to go against them in- the second Roet ready to go to their relief. Every time the Cubs and the Car- dinals met this season the pressure has been on the Cubs, as they have won only 5 of the 17 games played Tomorrow and the next day, the Cubs feel, the Cardinals will be under pressure which, the Chicago players believe, will give them a big advan- tage. Angther practice session this morn- ing and another afternoon to loaf ends the Cubs' two days of idleness Two days of rest have stored them with enough energy to tear into the Cardinals with a vengeance, Grimm believes. ‘Work on 12,000 temporary bleacher seats to .increase Wringley Field's capacity to approximately 50.000 was hurried today, and plan§ were com- pleted for the sale of tickets for the series.

By this method his emotional as | well as physical strength would have built up so that his flashes of savage fighting would not tire him so much , or so quickly. Mat Matches By the Associated Press.

Blackburn may send Louis out in the sixth to deliver a knockout. Louis may come back unsuccessful. What would happen to Joe Louis’ mind if he failed several times? He might become less confident.

Spriggs, all boats were landing blues. He said he counted 100 boats on these grounds. Most of the fish were caught chumming. Capt. Spriggs had out a party from Pennsylvania and they landed 28 blues, ranging from 4% to 9 pounds, the ma- jority weighing 6 and 7 pounds. Spriggs says the blues are getting larger. Twenty-five of them were landed with a Japanese feather and three by chumming. Capt. Harry Woodburn at Solomons Island sent two boats out yesterday, one to Southwest Middles and the other to James Point. Both returned with the same number of fish, 18 each. The boat - fishing off James Point landed the largest fish, the smallest weighing 5 and the largest 912 pounds. Woodburn also reports that a good number of large spot are now being caught. TALBO’IT DENMEAD, chief of the black bass division of the Bureau of Fisheries, selected James Point for his Sunday fishing trip.” He said the blues were breaking water all day, but did not seem hungry. He landed 18, all weighing in the neighborhood of 3 pounds. U. E.

CARDS TO KEEP FRISCH Rickey Says Flag Race Outcome | Will Have No Bearing. DELAWARE, Ohio, September 24— Branch Rickey today asserted Frankie Frisch would be retained as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals next year whether they win or lose the National League pennant. “We have not offered him a con- tract,” said Rickey, general manager of the base ball club, “but I personally am in favor of keeping Frank for the fine job he has done.” Rickey stbpped here to visit his daughter Jane, student at Ohio Wes- leyan University. | enough to cause them to hit in thelr usual fashion. Bass fishing is reported exceptionally good in the Potomac, Shenandoah, Susquehana and Patapsco Rivers. All bass streams are clear. Sunday, Don Carpenter and G. M. Haynes fished the Potomac above the dam at Great Falls. Using many lures and casting until their arms were played out, they did not land a fish. Finally they resorted to live minnows | and caught six small-mouth bass and six catfish. Capt. W. W. Wilkinson at Old Rock Run Mill on the Susquehanna River reports bass and pike fishing very good, but that rock are slow in hitting. At Rock Hall Capt. Lewin Blackston, jr.,, reports rockfish hitting and that the largest catches last week were 68 and 82. Blues are running from 1 to 2 pounds. R. R. T. J. BARBER, well-known local angler, gives a good report about rockfishing in the lower Po- tomac off St. George Island. Fishing | Saturday and Sunday with some of | his buddies, he landed, 78 fish. Two were speckled or salmon trout, three were blues and the rest rock, the| largest weighing 12!2 pounds. George E. Vickers and 8. M. Mer- chant also give a good report about rock in lower Potomac. They went| out Sunday with Capt. Cleveland Chesser and landed 15, weighing 2 and 3 Mndl- 3 | only run yesterday with a neat double | ing for Lynchburg during the Summer, INISHED with their campaign- ing at home for the year after s finale with the Yankees to- day, the Nationals tomorrow | will hit the “road” for a last brief jaunt in the East and then disband until another season. In fact, three of the Griffs al- ready have been excused and today were homeward bound. Earl White- hill. who failed to get his fifteenth victory of the season yesterday when {the Yanks scored a 5-to-1 victory, was given permission to take prema- | ture leave of the club, as were Heinie Manush and Alan Strange. ‘Whether Manush will be seen again | in a Washington uniform is doubt- ful, persistent rumors having linked the big outfielder’s namc in a Win-| ter trade with the Red Sox and In-‘ dians. Yanks Still Are Poison. NEXT to the Indians the visiting | Yanks have been the biggest reasons why the Natlonals haven't been able to climb out of the second | division this season. When Goofy Gomez whipped our side yesterday in the opener of a two-game series, it marked the thir-| teenth triumph in 20 games for New York over Washington. The base ball question today—if any one is concentrating on base ball | | on’the eve of the fight—is the Tigers | or the Cubs. The Pirates’ 12-to-0 victory over the | Cards yesterday while the Cubs idled would seem to have about ended the National League pennant quest. The defeat put the Cards three and one- half games behind the Cubs, who again idle today while St. Louis tackles the Pirates in another tiit. Even if the Cards win today they'd have to take four of their five remain- ing games with the Cubs to tie. And teams that lose, 12 to 0, when the chips | are on the table don't pull stunts like this often. Little Johnny Mihalic seems bent on getting himself in solid with his new bosses before the Griffs’ campaign | closes. Mihalic batted in our side’s and handled eight chances in the field in faultless fashion. Mihalic probably will be back at short today and during the double- header with the Yanks on New York Thursday. Red Kress will be left at home until the Nationals move to| Philadelphia Saturday for snother double-header. The season will be closed Sunday with a single game in Philly.
