OW successful were Clark Grifith and Bucky Harris in rebuilding the Washington ball club’s slab staff within the last two seasons is bespoken to- day with the official release of the 1936 American League pitching rec- ords. From a hurling corps to which was 1aid most of the blame for the sev- enth-place finish of the Nationals in 1935, Griff and Harris produced a staff which ranked as the third most eflective in the league, figures dis- elose. Washington pitchers finished s creditable total of 78 games and v« showed an earned-run average of ¢.58. Only two clubs—New York and Boston—showed more effective pitch- ing, as far as the averages go. The Yankees, whose pitchers finished one less game than Washington's, had an earned-run average of 4.17, while Boston's slabbers, also finishing 178 games, had 4.39. The standing of the Washington pitching staff comes as a mild sur- prise in that it outranked such high- ly-rated curving corps as Cleveland’s, Detroit’s and Chicago’s. The hurlers of these clubs placed, in that order, after the National pitchers, while Philadelphia and St. Louis slingers brought up the rear. Appleton Ranks No. 5. 'HE mellowing Peter Appleton, making good on his fifth major league trial, was Washington's most | effective pitcher. Pietro held the fifth best earned-run average, a 3.52 clip that clearly shows why he was able to win 14 games, lose only 9, and wind up with a .609 percentage. Buck Newsom, the garralous South Carolian who “wants away,” was the | next most effective Washington hurl- | er, ranking fourteenth among the | league’s hurlers with a 4.31 earned- Tun average. Closely pressing “Blushing” Buck, slthough he saw far less action, was Monte Weaver, the sedate right- hander, who was sixteenth in the rat- | ing with 4.35; Jboe Cascarella, the | crooner obtained from Boston, with 8 No. 20 rating and a 4.44 average, and Jimmy DeShong, the youthful | former Yankee, who was No. 22 and had a 4.62 average. Not so effective- was the .veteran Earl Whitehill, who was traded last week to Cleveland in a three-cornered deal which will send Johnny Salveson to Washington via Chicago. White- | hill ranked thirty-third and had an | earned-run average of 4.88, but the | “booby prize” went to roly-poly Eddie Linke, who spent a part of the season with Chattanooga. Linke was No. 60 with 7.10. a Grove Leads Seventh Time. { 'HE individual stories told most viv- idly by the agate type were the stories of Boston's veteran Lefty Grove | and Cleveland’s young right-hander, @ Bob Feller. N.C. STATE PROBE Two years ago Grove was being written out as a star, but after slump- ing to the bottom of the list in 1934 he rallied the following season and led | the American League. During the 1936 season he held his position as the | | | run average of 2.81. As in the previous season, Grove | was the only pitcher of the 66-man | group to work 45 ifnings or more in 1936 and allow less than three runs a | game. It was the seventh time in 12 seasons he has been under the three- run mark and the seventh time he has led the league. He appeared in 35 games, winning 17 and losing 12.. | The brilliant trail blazed by Cleve- land's Feller, then 17 years old, led | to the No. 2 ranking. Bob pitched only | 62 innings, worked in 14 games, won | 5 and lost 2. Yet he distinctly showed the mark of pitching genius when he finished with an earned-run aver- age of 3.3¢ and fanned 76 of the 227 | batters to whom he pitched. This is | approximately one out of three. In" other words, the team for which Feller pitches has to concern itself with getting only two batters out per in- ning.

Wes Ferrell, for the second successive year, pitched the most immings, 301. Bridges, with 295 innings, was second and Newsom, working 285 innings, next. Others who worked in 250 or more innings were Grove, 253; Red Ruffing of New York, 271, and Vernon Kennedy of the White Sox, 274.

Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of the greater University of North Caro= lina, of which State is a unit, and Col. John W.

BY GRANTLAND RICE. OS ANGELES, Calif., Decem- | ber 16.—John McGraw once | said that Art Nehf was the greatest world series pitcher | he ever knew. Maybe the “old mq'"i as the ball players used to call Mc- Graw, was speaking in a moment of exuberance following some notable victory of Nehf's in a world series back in the years when the Autumn ri- valry between the Giants and Yan- kees was new. But, even allowing for that, McGraw wasn't far off the mark—if, indeed, he was off it at all. | Statistics compiled on some other pitchers who have figured in the Oc- | tober tilts may be more impressive than Nehf's record. But the Terre Haute left-hander was a handy bloke | to have around when the Giants were | trying for the pot of gold. Certainly Nehf was one of the greatest money pitchers the game ever saw. For six straight years he was the mainstay of the Giants’ staff—six straight years in which they won the pennant or struck close to it. He was the fellow who always was | hurled into the breach when the Giants' main contenders had to be beaten off. The Pirates, the Cubs, the Cardinals and the Reds—for the Reds were in the thick of the pennant jam in those years—always had to contend with Nehf in the pinches. And none | of them ever grew to like it. He Always Stood Up. Omm Gfant pitchers rose and fell as the seasons whirled along. They won and they lost and they swayed the crowds, but, when they fell, Nehf always was left standing. He never was hampered by the state of the weather or the pennant race. Hot or cold, he was in there when- ever McGraw called on him. And the tighter the race, the better he seemed to like it. If he had any nerves, he must have checked them in the club- house when he started for the fleld. He beat Walter Johnson in the opening game of the world series of 1924. Before the game, he and Walier posed for pictures shaking hands. After the game, he said: “I felt sorry for Walter. I never saw a fellow so nervous before a Maybe he should have been nervous, too. Apparently he never looked at it that way. Not Big, But Big Enough. AT HIS pitching peak, Art wasn't a big fellow. He was big enough to win—five feet eight or so and 175 pounds—but from the stands he looked rather small because he was s0 compactly built. Somebody once tagged him “Little Arthur.” That was when he was in the minor leagues, pitching for Terre Haute. He never liked the name. He figured it cost him a couple years of major league salary checks. It seems that once a Washington scout was told by Clark Griffith to | look him over, but the scout heard him referred to as Little Arthur and lost interest in him. He didn't like little pitchers. Nehf didn’t hear the story until long afterward, when he was swinging along at the top of his stride. Even so, it burned him up. He felt that he was as good a pitcher when the Washington scout turned him down—sight unseen—as he was two years later, when the Braves grabbed him. ART dropped out after the 1929 sea- son, when he was with the Cubs, and came out to Phoenix, Ariz. He is one of the more, fortunate ball players, because the end of the trail found him One of the Fortunate. with more than a worn-out glove and | a lot of memories. He has done extremely well in busi- ness and built a beautiful home in Phoenix for his wife and three chil- dren. His health was poor a couple of years ago, but he is in perfect health again and looks very much as he did when he was pitching for the Giants— | barring a touch of gray at the temples. He gets up to New York once in a while and keeps in touch with his friends there. “When I was a kid,” he said, not long ago, “my mother wanted me to be a church organist and my father wanted me to be a ball player. “My father was very proud when I became a ball player. He said it was the only argu- ment he ever won from my mother.” Art's oldest son, Arthur, jr., is an athlete at the University of Arizona, but leans more toward foot ball than he does toward base bull. The ball Co == player in the family, now that Art has retired, is thé younger son, Dan, who may make the big- leagues some day, too. Arts favorite team still is the Giant’s and his favorite ball player is Hank Leiber, which is natural because it was he who brought Leiber out of Los Angeles in the Spring of 1832 when the Giants were training here, and turned him over to McGraw.

(Note: This is the third of a series of stories analyzing results of the sirth annual Associated Press sports poll . . . It covers re- plies of the country’s sports editors to the query: “What were the out- standing teams, in any branch of competition?”) BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. New York, December 16 —For the fifth consecutive year, major league base ball's dominant club takes a bow for the outstanding team achievement in any branch of sporting competi- tion. To the world-champion New York Yankees, for their record-smashing triumph in the American League pennant race and their decisive vic- tory over the Giants in a spectacular “subway series,” goes the No. 1 rank- ing position of 1936. Col. Ruppert's latest title-winning ball club thus becomes the first re- peater in the six-year history of the Assoclated Press sports poll. The Yankees topped the list in 1932. IN AN Olympic year marked by ex- ceptional team performances in many branches of competition the Yankees polled a surprisingly de- cisive margin in the Nation-wide bal- loting. Gehrig, Di Maggio & Co. rated No. 1 on 43 of the 76 ballots re- turned and sccumulated high totals| of 179 points. Their neighboring rivals, the Giants, finished far down the list witn only nine points despite a wonderful come- back after being counted out of the National League race in mid-season. Minnesota’s foot ballers, for the| | third straight year, emerged as the | runners-up in the poll. Despite their first defeat in four seasons, the Golden Gophers clearly were regarded the outstanding college gridiron outfit. They were No. 1 selection on a dozen lists and collected 107 points. B/IOST highly rated of the Olympic| performances were those by the American track and fleld team and the University of Washington's eight- | oared crew. Thirteen experts listed the track team first while six pre- ferred the boatload of huskies which swept the waters of Die Lange See at Gduenau.

"POPPI OFfF Ytan Classified Ads PAGE C—1 aff Third in League : Yanks Named World’s No. 1 Team N Mr. Crosley Rises in Protest. \HIS seems to be open season for sticking out chins, which re- putedly is a dangerous sort of practice unless you pick your spots carefully. The other night in Cleveland one Eddie Simms exposed his mandibles to Joe Louis, and in lees than 30 seconds he was asking the referee which way to the roof. Now they are painting Owner Powell Crosley, jr, of the Cincinnati Reds as pointing the finger of suspicion toward base ball’s Judge K. M. Landis and yelling, “raw deal.” In all fairness to Simms and Cros- ley they have not picked their spots, but if Crosley wants to carry it further he is likely to be asking the way to the roof, or the river, too. The Reds’ owner is criticizing Lendis for his ruling on Cleveland’s Bob Feller and maintaining that Cincinnati got a raw deal when Landis ruled that Cincin- nati’s catcher, John Peacock, and Inflelder Lee Handley were free agents. He says that he (Crosley) will investigate Landis when he finishes basking at Daytona Beach, to which port of call his pleasure yacht recently car- ried him. Prom what could be gathered from base ball men in New York last week at the Winter meeting of the major leagues, the Reds and the St. Louis Cardinals are in no position to be | kicking up any kind of a fuss. It is hinted that Landis already is eyeing them suspiciously, and it is natural to assume that the old judge would not hesitate & moment to confirm his suspicions, if possible, once they tried to put the blast on him. They Suspect a “Shuttle.” T}m more suspicious-minded base ball folk are convinced that St. Louis and Cincinnati are working a “shuttle” and contriving to help out each other in the distribution of ball | players. It is further suspected that | reason for this alleged “shuttle” is that somebody in St. Louis has a finger in Cincinnati’s pie, or vice versa. It has never been proved, of course, but this is not to say that it is be- yond proving. Landis has proved many things since he was installed upon the highest throne of base ball after the 1919 scandal, including how long a man can go without & haircut and how long a felt hat will last. Moreover, he has plenty of clues, help- fully dug up by somebody just prior to the Winter confab. Johnny Mize, the Cards’ sen- sational first baseman last sea- son, bounced from the St. Louis “farm” at Rochester to Cincin- nati and then, by some devious route, to the Cards. Billy Myers and Lew Riggs, two good Cincinnati inflelders, came to the Reds from the Cards’ “farm” at Co- lumbus. Ival Goodman, a fair sort of an outfielder, went to Cincinnati Paul Derringer, one of the best pitchers in the National League, bounced from St. Louis to Cincinnati. Rickey Put in Place. le’r Spring will find Jack Rothe rock in a Cincinnati uniform. Jack was released by the Cards to Rochester, from where the Reds plucked him. Phil Weintraub, an outfielder-first baseman, will come to the Reds via Columbus. Bill Walker, the left-handed pitcher, once journeyed from St. Louis to Cincy to Toronto to St. Louis again and Dazmy ‘Vance made the trip from Red- land to the Gas House Gang. Bob O’Farrell, the catcher, and Pitcher Frey have bounced to and fro in this exchange of Redbirds and Cardinals. Of course, it may all have been strictly in accordance with base ball law and, if so, Crosley blithely can conduct his proposed investigation of Landis, whatever that will prove. But if everything has been according to Hoyle the so-called “zhuttle” has been no flattering commentary on the abile ity of the Cincinnati and St. Louis officials to pick ball players. Just before the joint meeting in New York closed, with the celebrated Feller case finally seftled to the complete satis- faction of American League owners, Branch Rickey of the Cards put in his car and made a crack to the ancient judge. Landis cleared his throat and put Rickey back into his place with a few well-chosen words. The story goes that every American and Na- tional League clubowner leaned for- ward to hear, perhaps, a counter- crack on the “shuttle” and, with it, a threat by Landis to investigate. The judge did not follow up at the meeting but more than one club- owner was inclined to believe that Landis was having no wool pulled over his eyes. If he can keep his own hair from handicapping his sight he hardly is likely to be a wool-pulle ing victim. t { !
