after more than 200 years of disuse,

the fact that the curved surface of

The trench periscope is an adaptation

it even more intimately to its proto-

pointed iron instruments that always
stand with one point upward how
ever they may fall-are survivals Of
medieval warfare. The catapult of
the Romans that once threw stones

GRIFFITH WILL HAVE
ONE REAL SCRAPPER
Claims AgneW, Red Sox Catcher.
Who Hit Him in 1916.
Washington Manager Has Thought II
Shame That Such a Fighter as
Sam Should BE Wasted in
Hubs Fine Baciestop.

Clark Griffith wants to have a
scrappy club this year. SO he ex-
poets to close a deal by which Sam
Agnew, Red Sox catcher, will play
in Washington, he announced. And
when he signs Agnew, Griff will know
he has a fighter on his pay roll. He
has first-hand information on the point,
for Sam busted him on the rose here
three years ago, when the Nationals
and Red Sox had an argument at the
local park, writes J. V. Fitzgerald in
Washington Post.
Griff was right there then to show
he wouldn't finish second in an argu-
ment of fists with any player in the
business, let alone Agnew, but kind
friends interviewed and the Washing
ton manager didn't have to be listed
as a bed-ridden casual. Ever since
Griff has thought 1t a shame that
such a fighter as Agnew has been
wasted up in the Hub. Hereafter.

Sam AgneW.

unless there is a last-minute hitch,
Sam will do his fighting for, instead
OF agin', Griff.
Little chance of anything develop
ing that will keep the fighting Sam
off the Washington pay roll is expect
ed. When the Red Sox asked waivers
OF him, Griff claimed the catcher, and
he had a talk with him in Lebanon
the other day. They long since bur-
led the Ratchet over that crack on
the beezer, and Sam allowed he would
be perfectly willing to come here-if
he gets his price.
This, according to Griffith, is not
exorbitant, but in order to complete
the deal for the smuggling Tin a pugi-
liStic sense) Agnew, the boss of the
Nationals, wants the Red Sox to cut
the waiver price of $1,000 for him.
He says if Boston will do this he will
be able to pay Agnew what he asks,
thereby giving Boston some money,
Agnew a job and Griffith a smuggling
(still speaking in the pugilistic YER
nacular) catcher.
When 1t comes to slugging, as we
know it in baseball, Sam is in the
never-was class. Anything over 200
batting average is as found money
to him. But Sam can catch, even if
he can't win a fat mans race or hit
a ball hard, and he is a regular Demp-
sey when it comes to punching.
So if he doesn't win a few games he
may at least win a few fights for
Griff.
