showed me, he should hit almost a
handed hitter with a real wallop.
,rTurk, the pitcher, was a wonder
full all-around athlete at Oglethorpe
College. He has been with Columbia
only short time, winning four out
OF his six games up to last week. j
bought him because he looks like a
conner. He has fine, loose action.
plenty of speed and fair curve ball
In addition. he is an intelligent young
fellow who should benefit greatly
from training in this, league
Deeply Foss. utility infielder with
the Griffs, knows Goslin well. He
played against him last year when
the Tampa club played postseason
series with Columbia. Deeply has
good things to say about Goslin.
A Southpaw Hitter.
srGosiin is big fellow" says Foss.
He is a southpaw hitter, and a real
hitter, too. He can hit q ball as hard
as the next man. He went to Column
bia as a pitcher but was turned into
an outfielder because he could hit the
ball on the nose. In addition. he's
right good fellow and hope he makes
good in the big league"
President Griffith is keeping close
watch on the performances OF Eddie
Eoebel, the young outfielder he sent to
Reading last spring.
1T begins to look as II he could
hit" says Griff. He showed himself
an excellent fielder at Tampa. All he
needed then was to learn how to hit
and. judging from his record to late,
he has benefited greatly from his ex-
perience in the International League
He has climbed well above the 800
mark now and is going strong"
President Griffith is keeping close
watch on several young infielders
around the country and which the
bush leagues shut down in September
he will very likely have a flock of
youngsters in Washington uniforms.
Because the Griffs close at home this
wear. local fans should have first
views of a number of these new
players.
Fans Are Enthusiastic.
Washington fans have not lost their
enthusiasm. They turned out In
goodly numbers yesterday to greet
the Griffs and cheered wildly when
Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary overcome
Urban raber, to o, thanks to
hearty two-bagger by Bing Miller IN
the sixth inning.
II was noticeable that Miller and
Shanks were the only members OF
the home team to receive applause on
coming to bat. This was In lpp:ecii-
ton for their good work on the long
road trip. Miller's timely rapping and
Hanks fine fielding featured the
games Of the Griffs in the West and
the fans let them know about 1t.
l. . yrro q
gone, more than Miller and Shanks
had heard the applause for their good
deeds. Sam Rice contributed several
fine running catches in the garden.
lfilan had one pippin all to himself,
and both O'Rourke and Harris CLEAN
ed like stars in the inrield.
Zachary's fine pitching, too. was
appreciated The big southpaw was
in fine form and, as he went along
neck and neck with his famous OPP
ponent. Red Faber. the fans
cheered his every effort. The Wash
ington finger turned In a fine exhi-
bition of hurting. 1t gave his sup
ysorters plenty of pep and they quite
ontdid themselves in the field behind
him.
Acosta May Twill.
For today's contest Jose Acosta
NAV be on the hin Tor the Griffs.
The wee Cuban has usually been most
effective against the White Sox, and
il. he can maintain his past record
he may hang up the second victory
~ the series for the Griffs. Given
the fielding Zachary mad, Acosta will
have only himself to blame for los
ing.
Giuseppe Bratchi, VINO played right
field for the White SoX yesterday, Is
green kid from the Mint League.
He Joined the White Sox Sunday,
played in an exhibition game at Ge-
neva, n. Y, on Monday and was tried
out in a major league game Tuesday.
That's Kid Gleason's way Of doing
business. He likes to get an early
peek at a candidate IN a real game.
So Bratchi played against the Griffs
yesterday.
The youngster hammered a clean
single to left center on his first trip
10 the plate in the second inning.
Then he gave Bing Miller a long gal
lop for his fly in the fifth. He rolled
to 'Shanks in the seventh and finally
ended the game with a long fly that
sam Rice grabbed after rum to left
center. Bratchi Is rlght-handed
hitter, who looks worthy of com.
plete trial.
