Griffs Are Seeking For Pitcher
Jack Ryan Visits Richmond to Give His Opinion
About Player-Harpers Arm
Continues Weak
by LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

The Washington club is angling for
q pitcher now performing for the
Richmond Rebels in the International
League.
The Washington club is also said
TO have its eyes on a pitcher in the
South Atlantic League, of which Au-
gusta is a unit.
Manager Griffith does not believe
in quitting just because his team is
not going good and so he is casting
about for players who would strength
en- his outfit. Right now it would
appear as If the team needed imme-
diately pitchers and at least one out
fielder who can slug the ball.
Jack Ryan, the aged but agile scout
OF the Griffs, paid Richmond a visit
last week and took a look over the
players tipped off to the Old Fox.
Just what his report was remains un-
known, owing to Griffs well-known
secrecy in all such cases. If the
report is adverse, the player is spar
ed humiliation. If it is favorable
well, he'll have to come here some
day and then we'll know all about
him.
Has Many TipSters.
The Old Fox has many tipsters
scattered around the country. Some
are managers, others are umpires and
one or two are travelling men who
have been his friends for years.
Through some such channel he has
been informed of a possible star in
the Sally League, but thus far Scout
Ryan has not been obliged to hike
down there for a peek at him.
Manager Griffith has about con-
cluded that heroic methods are need
ed, IL his team would get out of its
present lowly station. His switch of
the infield yesterday brought good

WEST WILL HOLD MEET.

CHICAGO, May Although many
of the teams will be weakened
through the enlistment of athletes for
military service. officials of the West
ern intercollegiate Conference decided
last night to hold the outdoor cham
pionship meet here June 8. There had
been reports that the conference. fol
lowing the action taken by the East
ern universities, would cancel the
meet.
Three of the nine universities in the
conference, however, probably will
not be represented. Iowa has def.
nitely decided not to enter a team,
and Minnesota and Wisconsin are con.
sidered doubtful.

RIGLER is REJECTED.

CINCINNATI. May 1.-Charley Rig
Ter. National League umpire, was
ready for a try at the trenches In
France, but twisted finger, bunged
up in a ball game years ago, caused
his rejection today. Rigler believes
many ball players will be barred be-
cause they have damaged mitts.
Two Cincinnati sport writers, Jack
Ryder and W. A. Phelon. who have
seen active service and applied for
commissions, were rejected on the
ground that they had accumulated too
much avoirdupois.

ROLLED BY MISS DREW
Member of Grand Central Team
Gets l28 Count.

Although bowlers on opening night
OF the District Association tourna-
ment battered the headpin with un-
common skill in many instances, the
most interesting performance seen at
the Grand Central alleys last night IS
accredited to Miss Nellie Drew, a
member of the Grand Central girls
team, who established a record for
high game among the shriller sex OF
Washington by rolling 12s. This
beats the previous mark by three pins.
Miss Drew made five marks. start
ing the game with three spares, spar
ing in the ninth and striking in the
tenth. Her opponents at the time
were Mrs. George Isemann and Mrs.
John l. Vaeth.

third game of pocket billiards with
Tommie George coaching him.
