B—8 8 PORTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., - FEBRUARY 1937—PART ONE SPORTS. Schedule Shows Nats Few Favors : Club Has a Master Ground keeper IBOUTHANGING FRE| P isie BEST DATES HERE ARE AWARDED A'S Visit for Opener, Also Lone Holiday Bill—Club Away for Early Play. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. N STRIKING contrast to the 1936 slate, whose choice dates enabled the Washington ball club to de- clare a rare dividend at the end of the year, the new American League schedule, released today, reveals that its makers showed the Nationals few favors. Concocting another of the fly-by- night schedules which so intrigued base ball club owners last season, the schedule-makers granted the Griffmen a couple choice financial set-ups but, 1or the most, Philadelphia’s lowly Ath- letics will cross the path of the Wash- ington club too many times. The A's will help the Nationals to open the season at Griffith Stadium on April 19. Last season it was the Yankees who assisted in raising the curtain and they helped to establish a new all-time local opening-game at- tendance record. Awarded an annual Decoration Day double-header, the Nationals again face lukewarm financial prospects be- cause the Athletics will be their guests while the usually lucrative Inde- pendence Day date, on which Wash- ington and New York clubs last year set another record—an all-time local attendance mark for a non-world series game— will find the Griffmen in Philadelphia. Base ball this year will celebrate Independence Day with double-headers on July 5, begause the traditional Fourth falls on a Sunday. Opener in Gotham Is Boon. ESPITE the “misfortune” of hav- ing to play the Fourth of July twin bill in Philadelphia, it will be on the road that Washington gets its best breaks on dates. After opening the major league sea- son here on April 19, a day ahead of the rest of the clubs, the Nationals will entrain for New York and help the Yankees to open the season. This is certain to prove & bonzana to the ‘Washington treasury and remove some of the sting inflicted by the prospec- tive Athletic bugaboo. The only other holiday date on the slate is the Labor day double- header and for this affair the Na- tionals will play the Red Sox in Boston, which is second only to New York in the East as a base ball town. Most of the early campaigning of the Griffmen this season will be done on the road. Including the opening game, they will play only 7 of their first 26 games at Griffith Sta- dium, visiting every city in the league before they come home on May 15 to start their first long local stand of the season. Cohen Latest Griff to Sign. SYD COHEN, the somewhat vener- able rookie southpaw of the Na- tionals, is the latest to send a signed contract to Clark Griffith, who now is vacationing at Orlando . . . Griff will be joined early this week by Becretary Edward B. Eynon, jr, who will make his first trip South in many Yyears . . . Eynon, however, will get no opportunity to see the Nationals start Spring training . . . business duties will force him to return to ‘Washington before the first ball is thrown and sweated off. ‘With the exception of Philadelphia, every American League club has its shortstop practically chosen . . . Connie Mack, however, has at least five candidates for the job, including Lamar Newsome, Russ Peters, Jack Peerson, Broadus Culler and Oliver Blakeney . . . of the quintet Newsome is far and away the best flelder . . . in fact, it is doubted if any short- | etop in the league can touch the youngster.

Jim’'s scope must be broadening . . . last year he had all he could do to be the Brown's first baseman.

STAN. Hayesman better. For one item he seems to be the only M base ball observer who fails to appreciate Joe Kuhel's flelding ability. This, alone, makes Hayesman a part in the workings of the Wash- ington ball club. Winter's winds howl in desolated,Grif- are associated with Spring training camps under a warm Southern sun, Emil will swing into action. He is, you see, the groundkeeper at the local plant. Ahead of him is the little matter of plowing up the diamond and laying a brand-new infield. Hayesman is one of the few ground- keepers who dig up their infields every year. It's a pretty expensive item on man estimates that he uses 16,000 square yards of sod and that, when it finally is laid to rest, it costs 50 cents per yard and this does not include the grading of the field. But Griffith and Hayesman figure it's worth it to have call the best infleld in the game. Kuhel Rough on Ground. AS FOR Kuhel, Washington's spry first baseman 1is one of the chief reasons why Hayesman recommends a brand-new infield every year. To the average fan, Kuhel looks as if he treads on air while playing first base. According to Hayesman he does any- thing but. “He tears up more ground than Gehrig or Bonura or any of the bigger fellows who seem a lot clumsier. If you will notice, he doesn’t merely run stationary position. Kuhel moves in | quick steps and jumps up and dow:n while the pitcher is delivering the ball. thing while waiting for an infielder’s throw. “I could walk onto any ball field | and, without having seen the game, | tell’ you whether Kuhel played first base or not.” Groundkeeping, it seems, involves a good deal more than mere ability tn handle a rake. It's a job for a spe- cialist, a student of soil, and Hayesman has been doing it for more than 45 years now, which is the lengest term of service of any groundkeeper in major league ball. He has one of th> toughest jobs of any groundkeepe:, too, inasmuch as Griffith Stadium is used more frequently the year 'round, probably, than any ball yard exceut Sport-man's Park in St. Louis, whicia is used by both the Cardinals and Browns. As a scene-shifter, directing the changing of a base ball settinz to a boxing. wrestling or foot ball stage, he is tops. Got Job Playing Hookey.

HICAGO, February 6 (£)— Two star rookies of the 1936 major league base ball show, one a $75,000 “beauty” and the other an unher- alded high school youth, are go- ing to toss plenty fuel next Sum- mer on an argument that goes on each year among critical fans—"is he the goods or just another flash in the pan?” Joe Di Maggio, one of the most highly publicized rookies ever to come up into the big time, deliv- ered sensationally for New York's ‘Yankees, particularly in the world series. Bob Feller, the 17-year- old small town Iowa boy, was signed without fanfare and then almost kicked down the door to fame by his blazing strikeout ball. But the second vear usually tells the story. Di Maggio, a great thrower and a fine fielder and hitter, apparently is set to become one of the game's biggest stars. But many things, some fans recall, have happened to youngsters who went great in their first year and faded thereafter. Every fan in tht country will be watching Feller, who won his first major league start and in turning the trick struck out 15 St. Louis Browns, then followed that per= formance by setting a new Amer= ican League record of 17 strike- outs per game. The batters may “get onto him” or he may become one of the greatest hurlers of the era—the fans will be watching for the answer. The records are studded with in= stances of highly touted and ex- pensive players who looked good and then couldn't deliver. Fifteen years ago Connie Mack, who says bhe knows Di Maggio's weakness, paid $50.000 for Outfielder Paul Strand of Salt Lake City, the pur- chase being attended by much bal- Iyhoo. Strand flopped, whereas Al Simmons, who was not highly pub- licized, became a great star. The Chicago White Sox ob- tained three players from the Pa= cific Coast League, each receiving tremendous publicity because of the purchasé prices. Kllhe Kamm cosz Di Maggio, Feller Meet Real Test in Second Season Fans Are Set to Check on Players Who Were Marvels in American League as Recruits. $123,000, Bill Cissell the same amount and Smead Jolley $50,000. Of the three, Kamm was the best investment. Jolley, bought because of reported hitting prowess, flopped badly as a fielder and never was of much use to the Comisky club. Plenty highly publicized players came through, however, after their big time debuts, among them George Sisler and Joe Jackson. Such players as Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, Ty Cobb, Mickey Cochrane, Charley Gehringer, Na- poleon Lajoie, Tris Speaker, Wes Ferrell, Joe Cronin, Babe Ruth and ‘Walter Johnson attracted compar- atively little attention when they came up—and their names will be baw bau lore for years to come.

PROMOTER JACOBS, who holds Louis’ contract to fight when and where Mr. Jacobs thinks best, was a bit worn and frayed over all the bickering. “As long as Gould wants Soldier Field, or else,” said Jacobs. “You hardly can blame Gould.

The 64-year-old Chicagoan has confirmed likes and dislikes.

There's | where the big work comes in.” He doesn't like. either. to see pitch- | ers and outfielders and catchers in the infield. He says nothing, of course, but the sight of a big pitcher suc- cumbing to the urge to practice at| second base brings a wince to his face “Infielders are light on their feet,” explains Hayesman. “They can make a mad dash to the right cr left with- out cutting huge holes in the ground like the other players. “Managers of today have changed.
