A—16 SPORTS. THE EVENI NG _STAR, WASHINGTON D. C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1937. SPORTS. Appleton Seen as Opening Hurler : Tradition Is Against Feller DUEFORASHHEAP IN'35, NOW SHINES - Hogan, Also Seemingly Done Year Ago, Likely Will Be Battery Mate. BY FRANCIS E. STAN, Staff Correspondent ot The Star. AKELAND, Fla,, April 7.—Less | than two weeks from now the 1937 Nationals will race over the turf at Griffith Stadium and the new loud-speaking apparatus is likely to bellow: “Batteries: For Washington, Apple- ton and Hogan; for Philadelphia—" A year ago Mr. Pete Appleton and Mr. Shanty Hogan were regarded s a pair of washed-up major leaguers. The Washingtons condescended to give Pete another chance in the big show, but Shanty wasn't wanted by anybody. Now, as the Griffs prepare to break Spring training camp, it looks as if Mr. Hogan may catch the slants of Mr. Appleton when the American League curtain rolls up on April 19. With only a northward trip and a few exhibition games separating the Nats from the season’s opener with the A’s, Manager Bucky Harris today confessed to confusion as to his prob- able pitching choice for the day of days. Off what the hurlers have shown in “Grapefruit League” play it seems to lie between Appleton and Monte Weaver. Joe Cascarella is a “dark horse,” but withal a candidate. So is Jimmy De 8hong, although the walking page 124 of Esquire is being pointed for the opener in New York on April 20. And, always, there is Buck Newsom. Schedule Favors Newsom. A YEAR ago Newsom was the one and only logical choice. Earl ‘Whitehill wasn't ready, De Shong was & doubtful quality, Cascarella didn't exist as far as Washington was con- cerned, and Weaver and Appleton were rated strictly as bull-pen inhabitants. ‘This year five hurlers are gunning for the prized opening game assignment. The American League schedule favors Newsom. During 1936 he won the majority of his games from the A’s and Browns. If Harris pitches Buck in the opener the Nats seem to have better than an even chance of winning. Then, after keeping Newsom out of a three-game series in New York with the Yanks, Harris can throw him back at the A's in a subsequent series in the Capital. No tribute is this line of reasoning fo Newsom, but as far as the welfare of the Nats is concerned it is logical. But, then, there is no denying the bid of Appleton, Weaver and Cascarella for the assignment. Cascarella Asks to Go Rov . ETE became the first Washington pitcher to work as long as seven innings when he was credited with yesterday's 5-to-0 victory over the Tigers in Orlando. All Spring Ap- pleton has pitched steady ball and looked better each time out. In hurling seven innings yesterday he gave up six hits (one a fly misjudged by Johnny Stone), and never was in danger of being scored upon. For the year so far he has pitched in four games, given up five runs and 17 hits M 21 innings. Weaver's record is even more notable, although Monte had worked anly three times and pitched a total of 13 innings. Over this stretch he has ellowed only five hits and yielded only & single run.

Joe lost ground when Detroit slammed him for a seven-run inning, but to atone for it he has asked Manager Harris' permission | to hurl the first nine-inning game of | the year tomorrow against Chatta- nooga. Must Cut Down “Big Five.” UCKY acquiesced, and if Cascarel- la can go the route there will be no relief for him. Nor does he want any. De Shong and Newsom of the so- called “Big Five” have been least effec- tive so far this Spring. De Shong has been very good and pretty bad. New- som didn't show anything until early this week, when he did a fair job against the Cardinals. It is almost cer- tain that De Shong will be saved for | the Yanks, against whom he has been effective. Thus Newsom, Weaver, Ap- pleton and Cascarella might be viewed us the only pitchers battling for the opening-game assignment. As a matter of fact, Harris' puzzle- ment over his pitching is more deep- rooted than naming the pitcher for the opener. He was saying today that he cannot use five pitchers as starters and must demote one of his ranking quintet to a relief role. “But T'll be damned if I know who to drop,” he added, bluntly. There is no chance of dropping Appleton. Nor Weaver, on the strength of his Spring record. Cascarella is ranked 1, 2, 3 in Bucky's estimation and it would be a trifle embarrassing, to say the least, if he demoted his big winner of 1936, De Shong, or the sometimes brilliant Newsom. “The next 10 days or so will have to produce something to make up my mind,” is the philosophic way Harris puts it. Tigers Aid in 0-5 Defeat. DICK LANAHAN shared with Ap- pleton the glory of shutting out Detroit. The Nats pair gave up seven scattered hits, and while the Griffs made only five safe blows, they in- serted them at timely intervals and capitalized on four Tiger errors. ‘Washington took a 3-0 lead in the third inning on a walk to Myer and successive hits by Chapman, Lewis and Kuhel after two were out. In the fourth, Travis’ double, Myer's sacrifice and a long fly by Hogan scored another run. The final score was added in the sighth when Myer tripled with Travis on first base. Today the Nats were to meet the Tigers again here and tomorrow they will break camp after entertaining Chsttanooga in Orlando. Sports Mirror.

I can see where he's raring to play the for some reason, and that meant the fans rode him, too. Give him a break.” Mr. Harris, of course, is speak- ing both for Al's welfare and for a selfish purpose. He cannot be blamed for campaigning for either motive. If Simmons plays good ball and hustles, he might well “make” the Washington club. Mr. Harris, brought jup on the theory that it’s great to be on a winner, naturally believes it will develop into an extremely Utopian situation all around. Simmons will be pleased with himself, Mr. C. C. Grif- fith will be pleased with Mr. Harris, and Washington fans will be pleased with the Nationals. Is Personification of Hustle. IN SAYING that Simmons is happier with the Nationals than he has been at any time during the last four years Harris, at best, is drawing upon limited observation. It seems to be fairly obvious, however, that Al is, indeed, satisfied with his present lot. ‘With the White Sox it seems that Simmons did not hustle too much in the fleld and on the base paths. Chicago moved its home plate closer to the fences for Al, but somehow he couldn’t hit in Comiskey Park and when home runs did not rain in abun- dance from his bat the wolves began to howl. Mr. Simmons, who probably is a very sensitive person, felt the criti- cism keenly. At Detroit it was worse, even, be- cause the ball players were on him, too.

At any rate, with the Griffs so far Al has been the personi- fication of hustle. < Hits Hedge, Saves Shutout. | AGAINST the Cards the other day he | went from second base to third on a short outfield fly. The throw seemingly had him nailed but Al threw his body into a head-first slide, a la the most ambitious busher, and reached his goal. The average rookie, seeking to make good, is willing to risk having | his fingers cut off by the baseman’s | spikes, but few veterans of 13 years’ service, like Simmons, are seen to make such slides. And, not to be overlooked, was the setting. Not a championship game, by any means. It was just another exhibition. Yesterday, sporting a Washington uniform for the second day, Al showed no let-up in his hustle. He saved a shutout against the Tigers, when, with & runner on second base, Simmons plunged recklessly into the thorn- studded 8-foot hedge in left field to grab a drive by Hank Greenberg. Twice he grounded to the infield and twice he was fortunate in that ‘Tiger flelders juggled the ball mo- mentarily. In both recovered in a flash and in time to flag a runner who was not digging. But on neither occasion did they get Al. He ran them out. Adds to Nats’ Throwing Ability. SINCE Simmons pulled on a Wash- ington uniform the Nats broke a four-game losing streak and won two in a row. This, of course, is not con- clusive evidence that as Mr. Simmons goes so will the Griffs, but it is pleasant to report that the Griffs look better with Al in left fleld. For one item, the defensive ability of the Washington outfield was in- creased. Stone is a good right fielder and the shift affected him none at all. Simmons, on the other hand, is far superior to Fred Sington and Taft Wright, defensively, and a better thrower than Jesse Hill. His throwing arm he demon- strated yesterday in the second inning. Fleet-footed Chet Laabs was on second base when Catcher Tebbetts singled to left. On the ball like a flash, Al whipped a perfect strike to Shanty Hogan at the plate and Laabs was caught by several feet, retiring the side. And offensively, as Harris put it, “he looks great at that bat, even if he does go hitless now and then. Let Washington fans give that fellow a break and he'll do a lot for our ball club* instances they | RANGERS STILL FEAR ROUTED HOCKEY FOE Move to Detroit for Remaining Four Games After Pasting Red Wings, 5 to 1.

The Chicago group was expected today, bringing with them Adolph Kiefer, Olympic back-stroke cham- pion; Gus Horske, breast-stroker, Jay Brown and Coach Stanley Braun- ARLE CHESNEY, Veterans’ Buredu official, is the new golf chairman at the Con- gressional Country Club. Ches- ney's appointment was made public today, heading the golfers at the big club near Rockville. He has called a meeting of his committee for tomorrow night, at which time the personnel of the en- tire group will be made public. Ches- ney succeeds William W. Jones in the golf chairmanship job. The new committee head is one of the leading golfers of the club, gen- erally scoring in the low 80s and high 70s. '‘HERE won't be any division this year among the pros of the mid- Atlantic sector, nor will the much- discussed pulling away of the local group take place, as predicted earlier in the year. It hasn’t been talked about since the annual meeting Mon- day, but the boys talked it all over and decided it would be silly to form two associations, with the District of Columbia outfit seceding from the Baltimore pros. So they are all together now in just one big, happy family. ‘The meeting lacked the presence of Bob Barnett, twice president of the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. Bob was at Augusta for the late rounds of the Jones tourney, then slipped over to Pinehurst, and is expected home today at Chevy Chase, after an absence of more than four months. We saw him at Augusta and have to report that the Barnett man looks like he is ready for a big season of golf—ruddy and tanned by a Winter under the burning n at Miami Beach. Bob had a good ason and & busy one, to hear him tell it. JACKIE McCARRON, the all- weather one from Congressional, didn’t set a new record for the last nine at Congressional when he played it in 33 whacks yesterday, but he did enough banging in of lengthy putts 1 1 | to give Bill Ullman a pain where | it hurt most—in the pocketbook. Jack scored 40—33—73, his best effort of the season to date and one of his best of all time. That Winter in Florida did him some good, just when he thought Florida golf was so much hokum. The worst part of the round was that Jack didn't get in on the “animal” game on the back nine. Of course he had a flock of one-putt greens in that 33, and they pay off in phone | numbers on one-putt greens in the?l “animals.” ' WFFP'Y COX didn’t get a shot at the California tournaments be- cause of iliness, but he's making up for lost time now. Wiff, fresh from a twelfth-place finish in the masters’ tourney at Augusta, is playing at Charleston, S. C. today, seeking a slice of the five grand put up by a lover of golf for the tournament which Henry Picard usually wins. But Henry was far off his mallet at Augusta, and one of the other par-busters may bust through and win this one. A SMALL field of boy golfers from all the private high schools was playing at Georgetown Prep in the qualifying round of the annual Little Hoya tournament.

This query comes through the mails every week. And the answer is an em- phatic affirmative. In the Nation’s Capital the women are taking to chess like a duck takes to water, and many ladies are attend- ing the instructional chess lectures that are being given by the chess edi- tor of The Star, under the auspices of the Social Chess Divan and the Metro- politan Chess Association. Several women have ex- pressed themselves as desirous of competing for the woman's chess championship of the Dis- trict and have registered for this event. The tourney will be initiated soon, and a medal will be awarded the victor. During January and February of this year the Marshall Chess Club of New York City sponsored an open tournament for feminine chess stars the country over, and the winner, possibly the runner-up, too, is to represent the United States in the international tournament this Sum- mer at Stockholm, in which Vera Menchik, woman’s world champion, will vie with Sonia Graf for titular honors. There is no doubt in my mind as to who really is the best chess amazon in these United States. To date the expenses of competing in national frays has been prohibitive, and of course most of the strong feminine BOWIE RACES April 1st to 10th, Inc.
