BY FRANCIS E. STAN, Btaff Correspondent ot The Star. ETROIT, June 2.—Carl Fisch- er of the buggy-whip left arm finds himself becoming a more and more important | figure in the plans of the Nationals as the campaign progresses with added dope for the Washington ball club. ‘The southpaw, who has been trying for seven years to fulfill the promise he showed as an International League strikeout artist, is booked to start three games for the Griffs on the Western swing that was to start today against the Tigers. Despite the re- Jjuvenation of Pete Appleton and the hold of Messrs. Monte Weaver, Jimmy | De Shong and Buck Newsom on start- ing-pitcher berths, Manager Bucky | Harris is determined to keep pitching the fellow who was fired from Cleve- land for incompetence a few weeks ago. There is a chance that Fischer will start one of the Detroit games, al-] though Newsom, De Shong and Ap- | pleton all have prior claims. If not,| Carl will be sent against the In- dians, Browns, and even the White ! 8Sox, who will be met in that order before the Griffs finally head for home again. Lazzeri's Steal Queered Carl. CARL‘S 6-to-3 victory over the Ath- letics in one of the Decoration day games at Griffith Stadium clinched his job with the Washington pitching staff. When Fischer came from the Indians on waivers, he pulled on a Washington uniform as a man branded by all other Americ clubs as a failure. Steve O manager who took the trouble to li him from the Internat: whence he had fallen, finally rued the day when Carl let Tony Lazzeri, the creaking infielder of the Yankees. steal third. O'Neill informed Fischer in no uncertain terms to be gone that | same afternoon, although it was two | days later before the Griffs contrived to claim him. In his first start for the Washing- tons the southpaw was knocked out of the box by the Browns in a game eventually won by the Nats. Harris, figuring the Browns no fair test for a southpaw, owing to the great right- handed batting punch of the St. Louis club, rested Tischer and then shot him back against Cleveland. Sox Win Not His Fault. Tms happened in Washington, and all Fischer did that day was to | hold the Indians to two hits and win | 8 4-to-1 victory. The game only lasted 8ix innings due to rain Fischer tried for that important “re- peat” against the White Sox, another club that is notoriously hard for left- handed pitchers to beat. At the end of seven innings he was ahead. 5 to 3, but when somebody led off the eighth with & hit he was removed for Apple- ton. Pete still held the lead going into the ninth, but then, with two out, he was nicked for four straight hits and the Sox made off with the game, 6 to 5. Fischer’s performance on Decoration day, however, was regarded as a “re- peat” in Harris’ book. Facing the A’s, he was rapped for 10 hits, but Carl distributed them so well that he bever was in danger. .F ight Fans Who Like Their Boxing Brutal Figure to Get as Sport Reaches Fill of It . 54 ROUADS & BOXING OF LEETLE JOHNNIE'S %, SUNDAY Tommy, oL _ToNIC HEY Y / = LOU GEVINSON MUST WEATHER PENAS CLOSE MAULING 1P HE HOPES To GET REVENGE . ...

S Five Rousing Bouts Promised Tonight as Ahearn Foregoes ‘“Names” to Produce Action. l Fifty-Four Rounds Billed. BY BURTON HAWKINS. HAT 3-year-old anemic, puny infant, local boxing, temporarily will be- come a robust, healthy youngster tonight when 15,000 spectators con- verge on Griffith Stadium to witness an embryonic war disguised under the camoflage of 54 rounds of fighting. Staged by the Police Relief Association, which seeks to replenish a fund | established to maintain support for the widows and orphans of the Metropoli= tan Police Department, the feucing co-features five 10-round bouts. Match- maker Goldie Ahearn has sacrificed the drawing power of so-called “name” fighters and selected his card with an idea of satiating the fistic appetite of the most gory-minded ringworm. While the show is & benefit for the wives and kiddies left behind by gal- lant guys who often are forced to argue with more deadly weapons than fists, the card by no stretch of the imagination must depend solely on that angle for support. If you like your fighting seasoned with action, likely you will be satisfied. Probably the most focal point of the clouting carnival is the return en- gagement involving Lou Gevinson, youthful, sharp-faced local featherweight, and Johnny Pena, a veteran New York campaigner. Pena dealt the Jewish lad his only loss in four professional starts here in February, rudely joiting the | rosy-hued immediate future of a lad who generally is conceded to be the finest prospect ever to emerge from amateur ranks in this sector. Big Test for Lou Gevinson. lUsT as amateur circles served to vault Gevinson into prominence and popu- *" larity locally long before he pushed a paw for money, so may the stiff pace of professionalism wither his prestige unless the olive-skinned, retiring south- | paw has perfected a defense against an incessant body attack such as dished | out by Pena. Johnny discovered that flaw in Lou's mauling machinery and, although floored twice, capitalized on that lack of infighting knowledge to win the decision. p Utterly courageous, Gevinson effectively has demonstrated he carries a chilling wallop in either glove, but his sweeping southpaw shots, the leveler of 56 opponents in 78 fights, may be nullified if Pena’s body drilling clicks. It s back considerably. Collegiate rings served as an incubator for Norment Quarles, a baby- | faced North Carolina blond, who clashes with Cowboy Howard Scott, a thin- I nish counter-punching lightweight. Quarles hopes to soothe the wounds of | two previous defeats inflicted by the cowboy, who compiled an impressive record last year, but who has slipped a bit in recent months, Both Quarles and Scott are the “hungry” type of fighters, as are most of | the others on the card. The transplanted Texan is the father of a 7 oid | 7-year- | daughter, while Quarles became a daddy of a pretty little girl only 12 weeks | | ago. The boxing game strictly is business with them, but a rather cruel busi- | ness which exacts its toll through the medium of battered noses, swollen lhips and caulifiower ears. | Ingram and Archibald Attract. | ANOTHER scrap which doubtless will entice many customers is the Ray Ingram-Joey Archibald fuss, which features, on one hand, a mild-man- nered Ingram, whose chief fault is his politeness, and, on the other, a rough, mauling Archibald, who is so unorthodox he was tossed out of a Rhode Island ring recently for employing illegal tactics. Archibald, who is talented despite his unnecessary antics, will be sec- onded by Lou Ambers, world lightweight champion, who is slated to appear here in a non-title fight this Summer. Joey's style is patterned after a Mexican jumping bean, the slick-haired bantamweight eternally being on the move, much of which consists in bobbing up and down, but which was effective enough to whip Lawrence Gunn and Buddy Grimes decisively in his only local appearances. Ingram is the fancy dancer of local larruping—a trim, elusive strategist. who offers a poor target for the simple reason that it is difficult to land a solid blow on a perpetually slippery object. Ray weaves in an out of range, flicking | light punches, but may encounter considerable difficuity in employing that style against the aggressive Archibald. Ingram, who for many months fought as a lightweight and only recent! | switched to the featherweight class to be ranked eighth in his division by the National Boxing Association, must balance the beam at 126 pounds for Archibald, who is a legitimate bantamweight.

By the Assoctated Press. EW YORK, June 2—Burleigh | Grimes is ready to lead a one- | man campaign for the return of the spitball, the freak deliv- ery that made Grimes himself one of the major leagues’ most effective pitchers for years. The fiery manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers thinks the batters now have a big edge on the pitchers, and that the return of the spitter would help to even up a hit. “The spitter should come back to the major and minor leagues,” Bur- leigh said today, “and I'm going to see what can be done about it. The spitball was ruled out by the blzi league magnates not because it was considered a dangerous pitch, but be- | cause some of the club owners, par- | ticularly the late Barney Dreyfuss, | owner “of the Pittsburgh Pirat | classed it as objectionable. The name of the pitch offended sensi- tive ears. Derides Danger Angle. “’l‘HE spithall was less dangerous than many of the pitches that are being made today. I under- stand some umpires rub the gloss off new balls with emery powder. A ball may come into a game with so much emery powder on it that it salls. A sailer puts the batter in serious danger. The ball that frac- tured Mickey Cochrane’s skull sailed, but Bump Hadley, who threw it, had |no idea what was going to happen | after he released the ball. | “I'll match my entire pitching rec- ord against any one. In my whole ca- reer I hit only one batsman with a | spitter. That was Mel Ott of the | Giants. I used to pitch outside spit- | ters to him and he knew it. He leaned | | over the plate one day and I threw him | | a spitter right down the middle. The | ball wasn't outside as he expected it | to be and the ball hit him on the head. Pitchers Need Break. “JF PITCHERS were allowed to throw | spitters again they would be better | equipped to stand up before the hit- ters. The ball is livelier this year than last and the hitters have a dis- tinct advantage. Why not give the pitchers the extra ‘ammunition the | return of the spit ball delivery would | provide?" | Big league club owners in 1919 ruled out all freak deliveries, including the spitter. They modified that regulation to the extent that spitball pitchers then in the majors were permitted | to continue its use as long as they were in the big leagues. There were about 15 spitballers at that time. | Grimes was the last to go. B0Y SCOUT TROOP AUTO AGE'S GOAL Shaw Tells Ambition as He and Other Drivers Get Spoils of Grind.

A 1y k] in local ranks, has been ordered by her | physician to give up the game until she returns to Honolulu. Although unknown to those who watched, Miss Greason made her last net appearance in the United States yesterday at the Edgemoor Club when she and her partner, Mary Cootes, made a valiant but futile attempt to take the City of Washington women's doubles championship away from Mar- garet Robinson and Edith Clarke. Placed under a doctor’s care over the week end after she had collapsed following her losing effort in the singles semi-finals, Miss Greason was advised that the unusual hot weather had been too much for her. Tempera- ture in Honolulu, where she has done most of her playing, seldom exceeds 80 degrees. Loss Weakens Team. LTHOUGH cautioned against play= ing yesterday, the pretty 22-year- old George Washington University student insisted upon pairing with Miss Cootes in the final doubles match. Both put up a great battle before bowing, 6-4, 10-8 Her loss from the Sears Cup team, however, means that the Middle At- lantic squad will lose one who had been counted upon for singles and doubles—with Miss Cootes. Despite the fact that Washington's weather has taken its toll from one who certainly would be ranked among the first four were she to remain and play here, Miss Greason looked any- thing but a weak sister yesterday. True, it was her service that was broken in the eighteenth game of the second set and her lob that fell out- side that ended the match, but withal she gave Miss Cootes plenty of as- sistance in taking a 5-3 lead of the Clarke-Robinson duo in that final set. Champs Show Pluck. BVT in the end, it was the courage of the defending champions who, saving the game which would have deadlocked the match and forced them to play a third game in the enervating heat, three times rallied to tie the score and eventually win. That last set saw the score tied at 5-5, 6-6, 7-7 and 8-8 before Edith and Marge could take two games in a row. In the final game the score was deuced three times. Not until the third time did the ad- vantage go to. the eventual champs, however, Mrs. Robinson smashing a placement past Miss Cootes. Miss Greason's too hardly hit lob ended it all when it comes to regarding the failure Takng exception to remarks published in one of the Chattanooga rags, young Griffith directed a note to E.«* T. Bales of the Chattanooga Free Press as follows: “You are hereby notified that your pass is revoked for the remainder of the 1937 season. Sincerely yours, Calvin Griffith, president Chattanooga Ball Club.” Washington's Mr. Griffith, hearing of the incident, could find no words to condone adopt- ed son Calvin. It would have been futile, anyway. for almost from the start Chattanooga has resented our Mister G.'s yank- ing Joe Engel out of the presi- dential chair and putting young Calvin in his place. Now it i= too late. War has been | declared against the firm of the Grif- fith & Griffith. 'HE subject of young Calvin's some- what silly form of punishment, a Mr. Bales, is getting used to the old heave-ho. A few years ago Mr. Engel personally stormed him out of the Chattanooga park because Bales, who is one of those apparently incurable club-owners-by-proxy, wrote a few words that Joseph did not like. In the end, however, Engel and Bales got together and were doing well together until Joseph was sent to beat the bushes and Calvin Griffith was hand- ed the presidency of the Lookouts. Mr. Bales obviously. takes some pride in his banishment. In his opening blast at the Chattanooga club he writes: “With his sinking Lookouts just three games out of the cellar, a posi- tion now held by the Knoxville Smo- kies, Calvin Griffith, P. B. R. C. (pres- ident by remote control), today noti- fied the writer that his pass for the remainder of the 1937 season had been revoked. The letter, printed else- where in these columns, carried no explanations, but it is assumed that Griff's (Calvin's) inability to take #t i of the ball club as & civic catastrophe. resulted from a recent campaign which ‘yours truly' has conducted in an effort to get a square deal for the base ball fans of Chattanooga. | “Lousy Deal,” Says Bales. :“I.\' VIEW of other policies inaugu- rated by the newly elected presi- dent of the Lookouts,” continues Mr. | Bales, “today's action was anything | but a surprise. However, I am happy | to say that I happen to be employed by a publisher who allows his sports | editor an expense account, and the little matter of paying to see ball ! games will in no way retard the prog- ress of the free press. “If little Griff thinks he's helping himself by revoking my pass, then well and good. But here and now I want him to know that I have no apologies to offer for what has been said. “The Chattanooga Base Ball Club is giving the fans of this city a lousy deal. We deserve much better, and until we get what we deserve I intend to continue to write what I think. If Griff likes it, all right. If he doesn’t, that will be all right, too.” Mr. Bales pauses a moment and finally adds: “I have never uttéred one word against the club, or its individual play- ers. I have tried at all times to boost, when I felt it was justified. But I have thrown some light on the tight- fisted policies of the management, and the apparent refusal on the part of the so-called ‘higher-ups’ to put out a little money for players that would help us.” Really Aiming at Old Fox. MR. BALES carried on to mention cent base ball for 75 cents, but that isn't important. From his writings it is apparent that he really is at- tacking Mr. Clark Grifith of the Washingtons. When young Calvin “couldn’t take it,” Bales included him in his general blasting. Now it's war. It's all very exciting, at least to Chattanoogans and the Grifith & Grifith firm, which, incidentally, has carried chips galore on its collective shoulders for some time. “Big Griff” never has been known to revoke that Chattanooga is getting 25- | thing that ought to command attention and high praise. | Down in 'Nooga, after a few more blastings, young Calvin and Mr. E.
