. BUCKWEAVER
BLACK BALL

CHICAGO, July 24.-Buck Weaver,
one of the principals in the White
Sox world series scandal of 1919 and
who has since tried unavailingly to
break into organized baseball, came
to another cropper yesterday after
his entry into the Chicago Midwest
League had apparently Deen assured
by presentation Of a petition carry
ing the signatures Of 100. 900 fans.
The Umpires' Protective Assocta-
ton of Chicago, which furnishes
arbiters for all the league games,
voted unanimously last night at its
semi-monthly meeting to refuse TO
officiate in any game in which
Weaver or any other of the, Black
SoX participate.
THE league may play him, but
fans from the stands will have %
be drafted to act as umpires," said
Steve Cusack, chief umpire.

sure that your clubhead will be in
a position to hit the ball smoothly
with no dipping corners to dig into
the ground, or otherwise interfere
with your stroke. This proper plac.
ing of the clubhead preliminary to
making the shot is a very important
thing because the face of the CLUB
must be exactly at right angles with
the imaginary line Of direction, and
any variation from the angle will
mean hook or slice.

advance somewhat and take the
proper grip, the hands and cIubhead
being even. Bring feet up to COM

BOB MEUsEL WILL TAKE
REST TO HELP HIS ARM

Miller Higgins. manager of the
Yankees, has decided that the place
for Bob Meusel is on the bench
and on the bench the Californian
will remain until further notice.
Hug knows now that the condition
of Roberts wonderful arm is such
that a strain now may cause it to
go dead for all time. And an arm
like that has to be guarded even as
a crown jewel. 1t is possible that
Meusel will break in as a pinch
hitter now and then for the next
fortnight, but that will be the
extent of his labors.

Addressing the ball Is getting
properly ready to make the stroke.
I define right addresses as an ad-
justment of weight that results in
feeling Of comfort. It seems i'm
possible to. take position for thu
stroke, placing the feet on the line
for the square stance, or bit back
for the open, without a feeling Of
great discomfort that tightens every
muscle and turns a firm grip into
a rigid wise.
When I get up to address this
ball I stand with my feet close to-
gether, holding the club loosely in
my hand. Then standing rather well
back I place the head or blade OF my
club behind the ball at right angles
to the imaginary direction line that
leads through the ball to the hole.
The sole Of my club is flat, neither
toe nor heel off the ground.
am also careful not to place
my club too near the ball, for in
the process of adjustment / might
accidentally turn it over, thereby
losing a stroke under the rules.
The position of the clubhead In the
right spot behind the ball is held
loosely with one or both hands.

The warwick Props enemy is the
warwick A. c. Between these two
clubs is feud. 1t is a feud of
words. Nothing physical enters
into it. Simply explained, it is a
battle Of raspberries.
The raspberries began to fly thick
and fast in northeast Washington
neighborhood just before the entries
Tor the sandlot series closed. Origi-
nally the Warwick A. G. dominated
the neighborhood. It seems that
the nine positions on a ball team
were not enough to take care Of all
the young athletes in the neighbor-
hood who wanted to play baseball,
even allowing for substitute and
utility jobs.
Those whose ability was marked
made" the Warwick A. G. team.
Many Of those who were not this
fortunate banded together and
organized another team. They called
themselves the Warwick Props.
Then. the raspberries.

from Warwick A. C. players when
the Warwick Props announced
they would enter the series.
why, with that punk outfit
you'd be licked to death and quit
before the series got half started.

Q joke"
The Washington times., 1923-07-24

But the Warwick Props entered.
Moreover, they endeavored to have
the enemy thrown out. The War
wick Props prepared a list of War
wick A. G. players that looked like
q roster Of the club and protested
their eligibility.
Harvey Bleam, president, and
Hicks Baldwin, manager of the
warwick A. c., were busy several
days gathering birth certificates and
parents affidavits to prove their
players were not over the junior age
limit.
The Warwick A. C. players kicked
on the Warwick Props use of their
name. Their protest on the name
was not vigorous, however. It may
be that they believed the Warwick
Ereps would blow up in a little time
Ead obviate the Objectionable dupli-
cation of names
Right here is where the Warwick

Of ridicule and take" a grand
raspberrying sometimes places a
stronger demand on courage than
O tight championship race.
The Warwick Props faced a
severe beating on the ball field and
worse fate off. They stood to be
the losing team In many a game,
for they knew as well as the War
wick A. Q. that their team was not
q championship contender. And in
losing many games they would be
wide, open to the raspberry attack
Of the hated enemy. To take this
would be harder than to accept
defeat on the diamond.
Today, the battle goes on. And
true enough, the Warwick Props
take trimming after trimming.
In five games 116 runs have been
scored against them. The Mt.
Pleasant Juniors created a series
record by beating the Warwick
Props IS to 0.
