CLASH
President Griffith All Steamed
; Up Because McGraw Grab
bed Headlines
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

President Clark c. Griffith got
all steamed UP today when he
found that John McGraw had given
out some exhibition dates the world
champions will play next spring.
Griff had been saving them for his
own announcement some Saturday
night for the Sunday morning
sports pages.
Where does McGraw get off with
this stuff" growIed the boss Of the
world champions. HE had no
right to give them out. Then, to
make it worse, he's got 'em wrong.
Fer instance. we don't play at
Miami on March IL. Instead, we
play the Reds at Orlando on that
day."
well, why don't you give out
your dates?" he was asked.
Just a minute and I will. Then,
too, he has no right to say We'll be
in New Orleans while the Giants
are in Memphis. But here are the
dates:
I'VE have arranged to play the
Giants at Palm Beach 3Harch 10
and at West Palm Beach the next
day. On March IL we play the
Reds at Orlando. On March 81 we
play the Giants at Sarasota, and a
week later, March %, at Tampa.
I'VE play at New Orleans on
April and 3, moving over TO Mo-
bile for April and 5. meeting the
local Southern Association teams in
each city.
I'VE hook up with the Giants
again at Birmingham on April 6.
We have April and booked for
Augusta, but Atlanta may get one
Of them yet. That hasn't been
settled
Washington will get a little
world series of it's own on April
and 10, after which we go to New
York for two games at the Polo
Grounds, April II and IL.
But McGraw hasn't any right to
give out these dates, just the same.
and getting 'em wrong with it.
Cincinnati will be burning me up
for booking games at Orlando and
Miami on the same day, see if it,
won't, and all because OF McGraw."
Well, that's all there is of this.

popular from that standpoint, but
those who actually determine the
playing grounds know that the
facilities for staging the game, in
GLIDING seating the crowd, routing
to the point and parking facilities,
are the real factors that count
most.

capacity which the game requires
is the great first condition to play

The Baltimore middleweight is a
native Washingtonian. celebrating
his twentieth birthday on October
.29, 1924. Pete Baum, his father,
was interested in athletic work, and
operated physical culture school,
training his two boys in the science
of boxing since they were first able
to walk. When Charlie was twelve
years old, he and his brother Armi.
stead, his senior by one year, gave
boxing exhibitions before private
clubs, picnics and other social gath
erings.
Often these engagements found
the boys forgetting they were only
giving exhibitions, and they went at
each other in dead ernest, fists
flying. When Charlie reached the
age of fourteen, it was evident that
he was best suited for a puglistic
career. and he was able at all times
to. hold the upper hand in these
battles with his brother.
At the age of sixteen he took
up boxing as a profession, meet
ing all Corners before the profess
siOnaI clubs. His father beirg bust.
! ly engaged i'm business, did not
have the time TO give the boy his
personal attention, and placed him
under the management of Sam
Harris, who developed Kid Will
Jams from newsbOy to the ban
tamweight champion of the world.
Charlie went along nicely, de-
feating all his opponents until he
met Eddie Burnbrook. In that en-
counter Baum gave the most re-
markable exhibition of gameness
that has ever been witnessed in
any ring, by continuing to fight
from the fourth round of the bout
through the full ten rounds with
both hands broken and useless to
him. He shattered his left hand
in the third round, and his right
went in the fourth, but he did not
stop, and warded off Burnbrook' s
attack all the way. >,
This misfortune kept him out of
the ring for six months, as it took
that long for the injuries to heal.
Physicians asserted that his youth
was responsible, for the bones had
been broken because Charlie had
not yet fully matured and they
simply could not stand up under
the terrific force of his blows.
Since that time he has constantly
worked to tougher his hands, using
a heavy sand bag in his training,
| until now there is no danger of a
similar accident occurring.

New King of Timely Hitters
Is Crowned in Ameri-
can League i

A new king of timely hitters was
crowned in the American League
for the 1924 season, the title going
to Leon Goslin, outfielder of the
champion Washington team. Cos
lin is credited in the official aver
ages with being responsible for 1913
runs crossing the plate through
virtue of his batting. He made this
mark In 154 games played
Ruth was second to Goslin for eff
fectiYe hitting, being responsible
for 121 runs in the 153 games the
Bambino played. Bob Meusel, how
ever, has a better percentage Of
runs driven in per game, with his
record of 120 in the 143 games.
In 1928 Ruth and Speaker tied
for the honor of driving in most
runs, credited with 1870 each.
Speaker is far down the list in the
1924 reconds. Joe Hauser again
proved a timely hitter, though he
does not boast of high batting
average.
Harry Heilmann, despite. his drop
In batting percentage, still hit
when hits were needed and drove
in only two runs Tess in 1924 than
he did in 1928.

Wyatt batted in los games for
Cleveland last year, reaching the
high mark of ,.342. Only one
backstop, Johnny Bassler, the
Detroit truckhorse, bettered that
average, Johnny hitting for .346
in 124 games.
In the field Wyatt played in
ninety-five games, as against I21
for Bassler. His fielding average
was ,97S, to .979 for Bassler.
Pretty close together, those lads,
when it came to working behind
the plate.
Wyatt was playing down in the
Texas League, acting as battery
partner for Bryan Harriss, when
Connie Mack's scouts found him.
The battery was purchased. Har-
riss has yet to make good, though
given plenty of opportunity.
Wyatt never got much Of an OPP
portunity. Perkins was doing all
the catching for the AS. He
acted as pinch-hitter now and
then and even caught a few
games, but when Connie wanted
Joe Hauser from Milwaukee, he
included Wyatt in the deal.

A year ago, losing the veteran
Steve O'Neill, iris Speaker paid
$4,000 and a couple of players
to land Myatt, then the best
catcher in the American Associa-
tim. He made a good showing
at once with the Cleveland In
dams and his absence, was felt
last season, when the doctors de-
clded that an. operation was neees-
sary on his knee.
Wyatt is a big fellow and built
like a race horse. He is probably
the fastest of all the American
League catchers, frequently act
ing as pinchrunner for slower
teammates. He is a savage right
handed hitter, fitting in well
with the many southpaw sluggers
on the Cleveland club. He has a
good arm and, according to
Speaker, shows baseball sense in
the handling of his pitchers, such
as they were last season. The
pitching staff was the bane of
Speakers life.
Well, here's good luck to Glenn
Myatt! May he return in perfec ct
shape and prove all that Speaker
claimed for him.

TRADES
..NA.I.R
Walsh Smells Deal, But Iden-
,.tity Of Individuals Involved
is Uncertain
By DAVIS J. WALSH,

International News Service sports Editor.
NEW YORK, Dec. Sin spite
Of the fact, that John McGraw
broke into the public prints this
morning with a statement to the
effect that he intended to stand
pat on the Giants, as is, it is
quite within the realm Of posi-
bility that material change may
be effected in the personnel Of
the ball CLUB before night fall. In
brief and to wit the Giants are
fixing to make trade with an
other big league club, and it is
the writer's. information that the
latter is the Chicago Cubs.
The identity of the players in.
volFed is the sole uncertainty about
the transaction, as a matter of
fact. That the Giants and Cubs
have come together on player
deal and are almost in accord on
Its terms is absolute fact, not
fancy.
One man persistently mentioned
in the whispers about the proposed
trade is Irish Meusel, a young man
highly esteemed in those parts sew
efal years ago but not regarded
with any degree or managerial af-
lection at the moment. The Cubs
are said to desire Meusel because
they need "a right hand hitting out
fielder who can slap one further
than second base. The Cubs are
total strangers with outfielders who
have punch. This condition is
particularly annoying because the
Cubs are playing seventy-seven
games year in hat box.
A man with MeuseI's propensity
for hitting them high and far
would get q lot Of home runs
In Chicago, whereas i'm New York
the boys are camping out near
the fences and converting his
long flies into put outs. It is
the writer's understanding that
Meusel is the man the Cubs are
seeking.
Their outfielders are the fast
rowing type and the fences in Chi
cago are cramping their style no
little. A man can't do much row.
Ing with a concrete wall constant
~ at his elbow.
An outfielder and a, pitcher are
the men whom McGraw is believed
TO be seeking in return for MeuseI
One report named arnold Startz as
the outfielder in question but
whether McGraw has been sold on
this part of the proposition is not
known, STATE didn't hit the size
Of his neck band an Chicago last
year and has outworn his welcome
there
He is a former Giant, however,
and McGraw has established some
thing of a reputation for esteeming
ex-employes. The cases of Heine
Groh and Charley Herzog are not
able expressions OF this complex.
The identity of the pitcher in
Volyed in the negotiations has not
been disclosed. He is believed,
however, to be young man who
can pitch three and a half innings
without calling for aid, succor and
assistance something of a novelty
at the Polo Grounds.

before getting off the sub
u ject of football. which is
really an enhancing subject
for those who love it, let not
you folks worry because Knute
Rockne will lose practically all of
his wondrous Notre Dame eleven,
the "Four Horsemen of Notre
Dame"
In denying reports that he would
come East to coach, Rockne says,
81 shall be back at Notre Dame.
Indeed, / am already working on
plans for next year."
Leo Fischer, a bright young
football writer on the Chicago
Evening American, lets the cat
out of the bag in writing of a
game he saw couple of Satur-
days ago. De Paul College, a
small, more or less obscure COL
lege in Chicago, played a team
from Notre Dame, and Fischer
writes as follows:
"Rockne already has his 1925
eleven in mind. Against De Paul
he uncovered a couple of backs
almost in a class right now with
Layden and Don Miller. Mullins
forward passes were the best seen
outside of the Conference games
and as good as most of them. The
Notre Dame team was made up
of freshmen and sophomores not
good enough to make this years
galloping horsemen. But Rockne
can't be worrying any if he has
such wonderful material for next
year."
Then when you recall Rockne's
methods of sending in his second
and third elevens against first
class competitors, you must realize
the amazing amount of football
material he must have at South
Bend. Already he has "fleshed'
the lads who will do his gallop-
ing against West Point and Penn
State next fall. Notre DAME is
a football factory. They turn
out star players about as fast
and as regularly as Henry Ford
turns out wagons on wheels that
run without horses.
