Who Seeks a

By THOMAS KIRBY.

Herman James Schwartje. one Of
the younger generation Of Griffithian
gunners. Is a veritable white hope.
While he has not yet reached the
age when he Is entitled to cast a bal
lot, he has already stretched more
than six feet three inches. and may
do even better in a few more years.
Schwartz commanded attention as
a pitcher while he was with Helm
Institute. near his home in Brooklyn.
His work as a schoolboy got him
several offers. but he finally decided
to 90 in for Saturday and Sunday
games. While performing In one Of
the latter. Schwartz was seen by
Fred Jacklitsch. the former big
league catcher. The veteran got into
communication with Griffith and
Schwartje was sent a contract
Whatever ability Schwartje pos
sesses is principally natural. for up
to the time that he reported at Char

whole Of his scholastic and semi
pro career. While he will probably
be sent back for seasoning. Schwartje
will be held as the property of the
Washington club. and will be

While there is an unTritten law

praise any new manager who assumes
control of the club which claims them
as its property, there appears to ring
of sincerity to the tributes that the
Brooklyn players pay to Wilbert Rob
