They have been up and have gone back—unwanted by 15 other major league ball clubs. Yet Griffith, even before he offi- cially inaugurates his “add-a-pitcher campaign” at the diamond mart in December, is pining a measurable portion of hope upon them. Appleton Has Good Record. OF THE pair, Appleton is easier to ‘sell” to the local public. In the first place Griffith thought enough of | Pete to draft him from the Interna- tional League for $7,500, which is a pretty sum for a 30-year-old pitcher who could not stick when he was up with Cleveland a few years ago. A second and perhaps even more convincing point in favor of the gent who was Pete Jablonowski while hurl- ing for the Indians is his 1935 record. Appleton either finally is ready for the big show or destined to go down defi- | nitely in base ball's bridesmaid-but- never-a-bride brigade. Working in 45 games, Appleton finished with 24 victories as against only 10 defeats for a percentage of .706. He gave up 213 hits in 279 in- nings, limited the opposition to 93 runs, struck out 137 batters and walked only 88 “That kind of record should indi- cate that he is ‘ready’” Griff. “Maybe Appleton is one of those fellows who takes a little longer to| ‘arrive’ I'm willing to gamble on him, at any rate.” Weaver With Poor Team. \‘/EAVER. three years ago the freshman pitching sensation of the American League, will turn up in the Orlando training camp next Spring as a question mark. May, he could not win. And yet Grif- fith, bitterly disappointed in Jack Russell, Leon Pettit, Bump Hadley, sees definite hope in Weaver as a man to regain a big-league job. “You can throw out his record with Albany.” Griff was telling Manager Bucky Harris yesterday in their daily | conference which, bit by bit, is fash- joning the personnel of next year's club. “In the first place the club he pitched for—Albany—is terrible. A lot of sandlotters. He lost many a game by bad support, many more when his team wasn’t hitting behind him “I'm basing my hope on two things -—a game I saw him pitch in Balti- | more late in the season and his own physical condition when he dropped in town on the way home for the Winter, That Baltimore team has a lot of good hitters, but Weaver beat ‘em, 8 to 2, and Baltimore shouldn't have scored.

VWEAVER'S record in the Interna- | BSi tional League contrasts sharply | with that of Appleton. Monte won only seven games and dropped 15 for & 318 percentage. In 174 innings he gave up 225 hits and 131 runs. He walked 67, fanned 63. They are straight from base hall's Junk yard, this pair of veterans who may enter competition training paled by Newsom, Linke, Lanahan, Coppola and the new hunk of pitching flesh which Griff intends to bring back from the marts later this Winter. But when the ax has been swung there is better than an even chance that Appleton or Weaver or both will be back in the big show. | This has been a year of “forgotten men.” Red Kress stood on the brink of Southern Association obscurity and bounced back as a regular. Mose Grove came back. So did Hartnett, Goslin, Crowder and Ted Lyons. There is just a chance that the reign of “forgotten men” will con- tinue—and that Weaver and Jab- | lonowski will fall in step. — D. C. GIRLS DEFEATED Drop 5-to-1 Decision at Hockey to Mount Washington Team. BALTIMORE, Md., October 26 (Spe- cial) —Mount Washington's girls’ field hockey team trimmed the visiting ‘Washington squad, 5 to 1, today. Miss Plinton was the lone scorer for the Capital team. Anne Vernon-Williams started the scoring by tallying twice in the first hall, which closed, 2 to 0. Florence Lowe put over a pair of points in the second period and Ruth Zinkhan counted once for the locals. As Mount Washington is entirely a club team, its victory over a city ag- gregation was viewed as thoroughly creditable by followers of the sport. Line-ups and Summary, )fl Wash.

The petition, filed in Circuit Court by Pred L.

TRY CLUB is going in for changing its golf course in & big way if the recommenda- tions of Wiffy Cox, the pro, are adopted. And if they are, those Ken- wood members will be playing next year over a golf course quite different, particularly on the last nine, from the layout which now has been in use for five years. Most of the proposed changes come on the back nine, which first was opened up in 1931, although one or two of the holes on the old first nine will come in for some reconstruction work. As Wiffy sees the job, two of the holes on that last nine are more or less ridiculous and should be changed. These are the twelfth, now a par § affair, the hole of the famed “bird | baths,” and the punch-bow! sixteenth, | | District's Best Four to Engage in Matches for Tara Club Championship.

They said they fa- | vored the formation of a new four-| team circuit embracing Waynesboro, | Staunton, Harrisonburg and Char- lottesville. | If this move fails, Waynesboro may |attempt the revival of the Augusta | League, which operated successfully for {13 years. LLANGOLLEN RACES OFF| Big Meet Is Canceled to Avoid | Conflict With Garden Show. WARRENTON, Va., October 26— It has been announced definitely that the Llangollen races will not be held this year. The reason given is that | the usual date conflicts with that of Madison Square Garden Show, in which Mrs. Whitney expects to ride | and exhibit. These races held in early November on the Whitney estate near Upperville have been a prominent event in the late season for the last four years. The course which is built on the Eng- lish model is said to be one of the most difficult in the United States. GALLAGHER, incidentally, confesses | to an eagerness to climb into the same ring with Louis. Nor is his argument without logic. | “I wouldn't go to bat against Louis! as most heavyweights do—a beaten man,” Marty avers. “I really believe I could make plenty of trouble for Joe. “I'll be frank about it and admit | that the financial end would be the real inducement so far as I'm con- cerned. I've got to make all the| money I can in the remainder of my fights and a shot with Joe Louis would help the old bank roll plenty.” NEW 1936 %W%m .. .. don’t buy any car at any 4* | fourteenth, a drive and pitch affair on which, if | you hit the green, you are sure to have | a fairly short putt for a birdie. The other holes, with one or two exceptions, will remain much as they are, but a lot of steam shovel work must be done by way of trapping the golf course to make it tougher, Wifly says. New Golf Shop Planned, BUT that work on the course isn't all. The club pro wants a new golf shop. For years the old shop has been tucked away in the basement of the club house, out of the path of the golfers, which is darned poor for busi- ness, according to Cox. His idea will be to have the golf shop installed in a spot where the golfers must go through or at least see the shop on their way to the first tee. So he plans to have a new golf shop built right up against the first tee. It will be put between the swim- ming pool and a new first tee, which will keep the first hole as a par 4 of moderate length. On that first nine Wiffy thinks the third green should be put closer to the road, and the hole should be | lengthened some 20 or 30 yards. For the fifth he thinks a longer hole could easily be made by putting a new green out on a hilltop some 60 yards beyond the site of the present green, making it a good par 5 and a very tough 4. The rest of the holes are good, he says, but they need trapping. Many Major Changes. OVER on the other nine, across the road, the major changes will come. The tenth from the back tee now is a par 3 gf 275 yards, which is ridiculous in itself, for par 3 distance | stops at 250 yards. Wiffy would build a new forward tee about 220 yards from the green, trap the green a littls more and make it a real par 3 affair, The eleventh will be left unchanged, but the twelfth, the hole of the “bird baths.” a set of concrete tubs contain ing about 4 inches of water, will be made into a par 4 affair of drive and long iron length. The thirteenth, a par 5 affair of around 530 yards, will remain much the same except for construction of a new tee and a few bunkers to be scattered around the green But the now a good drive and pitch hole, will be lengthened to about 420 yards by construction of a new green. The fifteenth will be an entirely new hole, an iron shot affair around 160 yards, to be built out into what | now is a practice field. And the prese ent fifteenth will become the six- teenth, under the new set-up, but a much longer hole. It will be stretched out to around 360 yards from a new tee to be bullt near the new fifteenth green. Just & few days ago Cox himself planted a tee shot in the middle of the present fifteenth green, 320 yards from the tee. New Seventeenth Hole. 'HE seventeenth will be another ene tirely new hole. Abandoning the present sixteenth green, the play for the seventeenth will be along the route to the old sixteenth, but the sevene teenth green still will be used. The hole will thus become a dog-leg affair of around 440 yards, making a tee shot to reach the corner of the woods necessary to open up the green. The man who hugs the left side and hits the ball far enough will have a pitch shot to the green, while the gent who plays wide to the right will have a long iron or wooden club shot left for his second. The eighteenth will remain as it now is, but the tee shot will be trapped to make it tighter. With these changes Wiffy thinks Kenwood will have a pretty good goif | course and one on which future Na- tional Capital open tournaments can be played. “These changes won't cost a lot of money, and they can be done without interrupting play very much,” he said. “After they are completed we will have a good course and a good test of shotmaking.” ARE comNG price until you see them! * &
