he was given all sorts of encourage.
ment, even when he failed to dc
things.
To obtain one Of the leading short
stops In the big leagues, the Griff.
men have parted with three players
and some money. Not any one OF
the players was absolutely neces.
sary to the success of the team. The
fans do not WORRY much about the
money that somebody else had to
pay. The deal gives the Washing.
ton club a manager and makes the
infield an alright proposition.
Joe Acosta, who goes to the Mack
men, proved Of slight value to the
Griffs, save in a relieving way. The
little Cuban is one of the steadiest
pitchers in the game and can go great
guns for three innings. However, he
lacks the strength to pitch in turn
Connie Mack probably wants him
around when his gang Of wild men
begin climbing mountains out on the
rubber.
Peckinpaugh announces today in
dispatches from Cleveland that he Is
delighted to come to Washington
ne PROMISES 10 give MS very DeSt
to the team. That has been his rec
ord in the past and. inasmuch as he
will be manager, 1t Is expected that
he will try to Guido himself in the
matter Of performances on the dia'
mond.
With Peck playing short, there
should be a great change in Bucky
Harris. The latter was bothered a
lot last season by the lads who
played short. Harris is one Of the
fastest thinkers in the league. He
will shine as never before, with Peck
playing to his right.
While Hank Shanks was credited
last year with covering more ground
than any other third baseman in the
circuit, he should have a picnic next
summer. Last season he had to play
rather wide of the bag to make
amends for O'Rourke's weak throw
ing. Peckinpaugh is a demon or
drives to his right. The new short
stop will cover fully as much ground
as George Mcbride did. This means
that Shanks will be better able tc
get those hot ones over the bag OF
lose to II. 1t was his failures to do
so last summer that set so many fans
against him as third baseman.

During the short illness Of Miller
lIugg'ns last year, Roger Peckinpaugh
replaced him. The Yankees had been
in a grievous slump, but under Peck
they found themselves, hit a winning
stride and romped on to many vic.
tories. The team was in the West
at the time, and many believed tha'
Higgins lost little time in recovering
fis health and appearing in uniform.
Peck ga ned many friends for him
self during that winning streak, AID
some of them are sad to have gone
too far in their well-meant efforts to
have him named as manager.
Thus Peck's performances with the
Yankees last season shape up much
like Zeb NJ la1's. The Washington
veteran took charge of the 81 piping
Gr,ffs dur ng the enforced absence OF
George Mcbride and carried them
through an unbeaten string. Milan's
friends have been hammering on his
candidacy ever snce 1t was known that
Mcbride would not return in the
spring. However, the TennesseeaH
seems to-, have been sidetracked in
favor of Peck.npaugh.
Following yesterdays conference
between Clark G. Griffith, Connie
Mack. and John Shibe, II was an

Then Clark Griffith snapped Joe

Washington fans, while pleased at

ImS mlOReS smith was q Dusy
lad during 1921. In the first place
he has been boxing only since 1920
and is only twenty-five years old.
In 1921 he entered the ring sixteen
times. He lost two decisions. one to
Jack Sharkey and one to Joe Bur
man. He put Young Montreal out
of the running for the title and
definitely settled the championship
pretensions Of Pete Herman by de-
feating him at Madison Square
Garden a few weeks ago. Smith
Is now headed straight to bout
with Johnny Buff for the worlds
championship and those who have
followed his career say that he
will win as sure as daylight.
A MOTHER busy title contender
~ over the stretch of 1921 was
- Tom Gibbons. The st. Paul
light heavyweight who is scheduled
to tackle Georges Carpenter in q
few months for the worlds light
heavyweight championship. fought
twenty-four contests and ran no q
string of fourteen knockouts until
he faced Bartley Madden on De.
cember 10. at Grapd Rapids. Mad
den managed to stay the distance
and now Gibbons must start all
over again.
Mike Gibbons, Toms brother, was
a busy boxer. Twenty times he
climbed through the ropes on his
comeback campaign. He scored sly
mockouts and lost one decision TO
Tommy Robson, at Boston.
Bryan Downey. alleged holder OF
one half of the middleweiDht
championship, fought thirteen bouts
during 1921. He defeated Au0ie
Rather three times and twice faced
Johnny Wilson. holder Of the other
half Of the title.
AYOW that he has landed Roger
~ Peckinpaugh as manager and
~ shortstop, be prepared to have
President Clark C. Griffith chirp
something about the 1922 pennant.
Peck certainly tightens up the one
weak place in the infield, while
little II any playing strength is
lost in the passing OF Bing Miller,
Jose Acosta and Frank O'Rourke.
The pennant possibilities Of the
Griffmen do not depend so much
on Peck's acquisition as they do on
the pitching to be handed them.
Johnson, Mogridge and Zachary,
with a chance for Erickson, are
the only members of last years
staff worth keeping. A likely
bunch of new hurlers will report
at Tampa and one or two may
make the grade. The success of
the Griffs rests on what the pitch
ers do.
Rice, Milan and Goslin will start
in the outfield. Judge, Harris,
Peck and Shanks will hold down
the infield berths. Charity and
Picinich will continue behind the
bat. So far, so good. The lineup
looks strong enough to make some
noise. But, unless the pitchers
deliver the goods, even this las.
trade will prove Of small use.

torlans. biologists, paleontologists or any
other kind Of statistician There is abso-
lutely nothing that an Irish terrier doesn't
know about all other dogs And how well he
bears up under it! Why, if any one of Us
knew much about other human beings as
an Irish terrier knows about other dogs we
would be ashamed to look anybody in the
face. We would have to go around all the
time in closed car, SO that we wouldn't blush
when we saw anybody coming But an Irish
terrier doesn't seem to mind it bit. He just
goes knowing other dogs over and over
again and meeting new ones, in one mad
social whrl, and that of course, is what
keeps him away from home. You mustn't
blame him for that, any than you
would blame your wife or your daughter or
even the hired maid.
There is also another thing that / like
about Irish terrier, that no other dog ap-
pears to have in the same way, and that is
remorse. 1 had one not so long ago who used
to be gone, well, just about one week at a
time And he always came back so bursting
full of remorse that l never had the heart
to do anything but feel sorry for him. 1t
must have been awful to have felt as bad as
he looked. Every particle of self-respect he
had been able to store up during the brief
time he at home previously to his going
away, had oozed out Of the end of his tail,
with which, if he had so desired, he could
have written trailing record Of guilt in
the dust. He would sail out Of the front door
when he went away, but when he came back
he would, fancy (although l never quit

the bats in the world that all the men VINO
