Griffith Will Act on
The Amateur Board
Nationals Boss to Be a Member of Rules Com,
n1ittee of Local Baseball Commission.
Hughes Praises Becker.
BY c. w. SWAN.

Clark Calvert Grifith, manager of the
Nationals, will be a member of the rules
committee of the amateur commission
President Bob Young, of the commits
sion, yesterday asked Griff to act on the
board, and the Nationals boss lost no
time in accepting.
ANY time I can be of any assistance
TO the boys why Just let me know said
Griff. The amateur commission is a
good thing for baseball, and the stronger
the ruIer are the better for the game In
general
Griff thinks great deal of the anna
telIz ball tossers, as-he says big leaguer
can be found on almost any lot and as
he is always on the lookout for prom1s-
ing material, the local sand lots will send
more than one star to the Nationals this
year.
Joe s. Jackson, who is chairman of the
rules committee, will call a meeting OF
that body some time next week, when
the plans for next year will be gone over,
new rules made, and the code in general
,overhauled. Howard S. Reside, S. Ed
ward Beach. President Young, and Harry
ShurtIeff are the other members of the
committee
The action Of Clark Griffith in acting
on the rules committee speaks well for
his interest in local doings. That Grin
will take a great deal OF interest in the
amateur situation is foregone conclu-
ssion, and that he will be rewarded is
the opinion of many. There are several
good amateur ball tossers who, with a
little experience, would be ripe for the
big show. and with Griff watching the
games whenever he is able to do so,
there is little doubt that they will
be given a chance to try their luck with
the Nationals.
Buck Becker is a product of the To-
cal sand lots, and that he Will make
good this year is the opinion Of many.
Tom Hughes, the veteran twirler of the
Nationals, was a caller at baseball head
quarters yesterday, and during a tanning
bee was asked his opinios. without hes
itation Tom replied: Buck has the
one asset very few youngsters breaking
into the big leagues possess-that Of be-
ing able to put the ball over the plate.
Almost all the amateur and minor
leaguers, when they first start in the big
show, are unable to locate the plate, and
that causes many of them to drop back
a few pegs. Buck has control and good
bendesNs. and there is no reason in the
world why he should not make reg
ular berth with the club next season"
There are no new developments in the
EIberfeld case, as Grin had received no
offers for the veteran up to late hour
last night. It is true that Kansas City
and Indianapolis would like to secure the
Kid, but there has been nothing done by
the Nationals boss regarding the matter.
The first club which comes across with
the necessary price can have the Tabasco
Kid, and that win more than likely be
one Of the teams mentioned above.
