| G4 » Ca_stiglia of George The SPORTLIGHT Old College Try Goes Into Flag Victories By GRANTLAND RICE, Bpecial Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, April 26 (N.ANA). ~—There were vague rumors und the sunny skies of St. Petersburg back in March that something was Just a little shy in the camp of the Cardinals ‘so far as any flaming team spint was concerned. These rumors have carried along into the starting season. Maybe they are true—maybe they are not. But if they are true the Cardinals are going to hear no gon- falonic flapping in the next flurry of autumn winds. For team spirit happens to be a vital part of any ball club, no matter how strong their individual play. This brings up the point as to what teams in baseball history, looking back 30 years, belong around the top where the matter of team spirit is concerned. Here are just a few that I can recommend from rather close contact: 1905 — McGraw’s Giants with Matty, McGinnity, Bresnahan, Dev- lin, Dahlen, Donlin. 1906—The Chicago White Sox with Fielder Jones, Donohue, Isbell, ‘Walsh, Altrock. 1907—Frank Chénce’s Cubs with Chance, Evers, Tinker, Sheckard, Steinfeldt, Kling. / 1914 — The Boston Braves of George Stallings with Evers, Maran- ville, Rudolph, Tyler, James, Gowdy. 1934—St. Louis Cardinals with Frisch, Pepper Martin, Medwick, Dean, Delancey, Collins, Durocher— the old Gas House Gang. 1936 - 1939 — The New York ‘Yankees, of whom Joe McCarthy! demands team spirit, even when hef has to get rid of a great pitcher and a star outfielder. Chisox of 1906 and Braves | Tech. | with Art Faircloth of Anacostia op- Of 1914 Tops in Spirit My selections from 35 years of | baseball would place two teams un] top in thjs respect—the White Sox | of 1906 and the Boston Braves of | 1914, Neither was anything like a great ball club. The Sox then were known as the Hitless Wonders. Their team batting average was around .223. They floundered most of the year, and then under the crabby leadership of Fielder Jones and the almost raving upheaval of | i Jiggs Donohue at first they came along to win 19 straight, bag the pennant from much better teams, and then whip Frank Chance’s | Cubs who had won 116 games that | season and were supposed to be in- vincible. That record of 116 victories still stands. But even such fighters as Chance, Tinker, Evers and others had nothing to match the whirl- wind assault of the keyed-up Sox. I recall asking Hughey Fullerton, one of the best of the baseball sages, about Isbell at second. “Here’s a funny angle,” Hughey said. “Isbell can't hit a lick, he can’t run, he has a bad arm, and he is only a fair infielder. But he is one of the greatest ball players I ever saw.” Isbell had brains and spirit to a high degree. The Sox were that brand or breed of team players. In 1908 Ed Walsh worked in 66 ball games, won 40 and saved 12 others. It takes spirit, plus an arm, | to carry this load. Vital Spark Transforms Club Led by Stallings George Stallings’ Braves were much along the order of the 1906 | White Sox. They were no great ball club. ‘They were around last place in early July. They were supposed to be the league flop. And then the vital| spark arrived. They began over- | hauling one team after another with Rudolph, Tyler and James working in order, Rudolph, Tyler and James—Rudolph, Tyler and James—day after day, week after week, month after month. In addition, there was Hank Gowdy back of the bat, and there were Johnny Evers and Rabbitt Maranville working at second and short—two “disembodied spirits”— two diminutive chunks of nerve, brains and courage. ‘They won the pepnant. They had to face Connie Mack's brilliant team that had won three pennants —a team that had Bender and Plank in the box, and MclInnis, Collins, Barry and Baker for an in- | field—one of the great teams of all| time. But the Braves beat them four | straight. Brooklyn and Pittsburgh Inspired by Managers Neither may bag a pennant this season but you won't stumble over any keener spirit than Brooklyn and Pittsburgh will show this sum- mer. Frisch demand hustlers. The Yankees depend more on 1 deadly efficiency in all departments, ‘6" Hill.2 rather than any competitive uplift. ‘The lone detail that could beat them this summer would be a deficit in the old urge, after four years of mopping up. The vital spark can't carry on forever. But the Dodgers and Pirates will have sparks flying all over the land- scape. They may not be two of the | szger. best ball clubs that ever piled into a pennant scrimmage, but neither were the White Sox of 1906 nor the | ¥ Braves of 1914. The “old college try”*can make a whale of a difference. Those looking for all that makes . & great sporting event will find it Saturday afternoon in the 47th rus- ning of the Maryland Hunt. Run over a 4-mile course of natural country with 22 solid oak timber fences barring the way, here is a rare test of skill, speed and endur- ance open only to amateur riders and blooded horses. More tran 20,000 spectators will be on hand to see whether or not Blockade, the favorite, can make it three in a row and set a new record. Blockade, 11 years old, owned by Mrs. E. Read Beard, certainly will be the one to beat. Navy Captains Selected ANNAPOLIS, Md., 'April 26 (P).— Central Leo Durocher and Frank 1 Navy has announced election of Hubert W.

Central scored in all innings but the fifth. Eight Georgetown errors helped the rampaging Vikings. Danny Murphy, who started on the mound for the young Hoyas, hurled five innings, during which he gave 6 hits and 10 runs.

Terp Second as Hoya Sets Capital Pace With .546 Mark Garber of G. W. Is Tops In Extra-Base Blows; Leaders in Action For the first time since Brother Charley picked up a bat and poked & hit into the outfield for Maryland the Keller dynasty in the realm of collegiate clouting is threatened by & slugger from a neighboring tribe. Charley passed on to more fruitful sniping grounds, but left the situa- tion in the capable hands of Brother Hugh, who, while not as powerful as Charley, has displayed the same fence-busting tendencies. Hugh led the collegians by a com- fortable margin last year. There wasn't a pitcher he couldn’t or didn't hit, and his rule over the pack seemed assured for another year, at least. But, lo and behold, as the boys head into May a pugnacious, slightly bow-legged catcher fairly oozing with color heads the clouting parade with a robust .546 average. He’s Jim Castiglia, burly Georgetown receiver. Keller on His Heels. Keller isn’t far behind with a 500 average nd there’s enough of the campaign left to give him ample opportunity to climb back on top, but it looks strange to see a Jimmy- come-lately at the head of the pa- rade and pounding the pill as though he meant to stay there. They lead the first 10 sluggers by & wide margin and it is not improb- able the two will settle the batting championship between them, al- | though college baseball is as un- | predictable as Mr. Roosevelt’s third- | term ideas. | Here’s how the top 10 rank at i this writing: Castiglia (G. U. Keller (Md.) e Gnecas (G.T.) hmitt (G.U.) B e 5 McFad'n (G. U) Keller has more hits to his credit than any other player, but the lead- ing extra base swatter is George Garber, George Washington third baseman, who has a double, triple and home run on the books. George’s -273 average is far below par for the course, however. Keller has 14 hits and the next most prolific are Johnny Schmitt and Julius Koshlap with nine each. Colonials Hardest Hitters. Maryland has only two extra base blows to its credit and only three home runs have been hit among all | the schools—Schmitt and McFadden, in addition to Garber, driving out one each. George Washington, with seven doubles, three triples and one homer, leads the teams in the mat- ter of extra bases. All of the leaders had hopes of Y | fattening their averages today as on | Maryland played host to North Caro- | Mo: lina at College Park and Georgetown entertained George Washington at the Hilltop. Still another opportu- nity awaits Keller tomorrow when the Terps ferry over to the Eastern Sho’ for a duel with Washington College. North Carolina defeated Maryland in their first engagement, 8-7, in an overtime struggle. Since then the Tar Heels have beaten Michi- gan, 15-12; Washington and Lee, 18-1; V. M. I, 14-2, and Davidson, 7-1. They lost to Penn, 8-7; Har- | vard, 6-5, and Cornell, 12-6. With Carolina will be George | | Stirnweiss, all-Southern quarterback, | along on the trip. Stirnweiss, pow- | | dering the pill for a .500 average, is | regarded as big league timber. (Continued From Page C-1.) | Also it was the last well-pitched game the Nats were given. Hudson, in his debut against Bos- | ton, did well for a few innings and | then committed a couple of tactical mistakes which cost him a 7-0 de- feat. Chase went sour from the start in his first try against the Yankees. Haynes looked great for a few in- nings against Boston but then blew up. Krakauskas yesterday had speed to burn but, after four innings, it was Joe who burned. He burned himself out. In the last three games, two of which the Nats won, Harris has| been forced to use nine pitchers. This hurts. Bucky hasn't got a staff able to keep at this pace, not with the Yankees coming into Griffith Stadium tomorrow for a three-game series and the Indians and Tigers following. Harris originally had intended to shoot Hollingsworth back at the Yanks but he decided to give the veteran southpaw a fairer chance to make good and pitch him today. This means that Chase, Leonard and Krakauskas, in that order, will op- pose the Bronx Bombers tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. Getting back to a more pleasant subject, here was the picture at 5 o'clock yesterday. George Caster of the A’s had held the Griffs to seven widely scattered hits and an un- earned run, going into the ninth. The A’s, meanwhile, had slammed Krakauskas, Gilberto Torres and Carrasquel for 13 and the score was 6—1, Cecil<\Travis and Jimmy Blood- worth, )rst up, went out and the crowd began to do the same thing. Then Jim Pofahl tripled and scored on Centerfielder Sam Chapman’s wild throw. Jake Early added a single to his triple and other single of the afternoon. Pinch-hitter Johnny Welaj doubled, George Case and Buddy Lewis singled, Jim Was- dell walked and, in the clutch and facing Relief Pitcher Lee Ross, Gee Walker drove a line double to left to clear the bases and break up the game, Nurmi Sails Tomorrow NEW YORK, April 26 (#).—Paavo Nurmi, Finland's sports ambassador to the United States, will sail for home tomorrow, leaving Taisto Maki behind to complete the tour for the Finnish relief fund. Maki has left races at Minneapolis' May Punch Gets Steadier Work for Early, E Carrasquel to Be Shipped; Walker Winning Fans; Quinn on Nats’ ‘Bad Umps’ List The Nationals have three catchers—Rick Ferrell, Jake Early and Al Evans—and, according to Manager Bucky Harris, there is no such thing as a first-stringer . ..
