Just Diamond Tactics.

6GD I'D Ferguson have a right
to stall out there yes
terday?" asked a Wash
ington fan, referring to the Red
Sox pitchers tactics in the sew
erth inning Monday. cit looked
like dirty work to me-"
So we told him the age-old
answer.
Everything is fair within the
rules among professional base
ball players. Sportsmanship is
an unknown quantity. It is up
to the umpire to hurry the game
along. 1t is up to that side seek
ing the advantage to complain
when the opposition stalls. It is
UP to the stalling side to hold its
advantage as long as possible.
If the Griffs could have gained
by Sailing, THEY WOULD HAVE
STALLED. i.
And the strange thing about
all this is that the fans are Just
like the players. They howled
and yelledl because Ferguson did
his best to squirm out with a
victory.
They would have yelled and
howled for the Griffs to stall,
had it been to their advantage.
And that's that.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-04-30

1t is easy to be a scoffer.
That's why there are so many.
1t is easy to watch the other
fellow moiling and toiling and
then, when he has completed his
effort, pick flaws in it.
NO MERE CRITIC EVER
DID ANYTHING.
Bucky Harris is trying to work
his team into shape to finish at
least in the first division. He
faces a hard job. He will try this
and try that, doing nothing hur-
riedly. He wants to be fair with
each and every man on the team.
It's great to be a winner and,
'if the Griffs can hit winning
streak, it will serve them we'll,
putting pep and fire into their
work and bringing more and more
victories.
The Griffmen are going to be
at the Griffith Stadium through
the last half of May, and loyal
fans will have plenty of oppor-
tunity to show them how they
stand. The anvil chorus, which
has already begun, will undoubt-
eddy be on hand, taking advantage
of it's second guess, but that same
anvil chorus can be made to look
mighty cheap if the loyal fans
will only come out and show them
selves. Furthermore, if the fans
will rally to the support of the
Griffs, they will find their ap-
plause far from wasted, for the
natural effect will be to bring out
the best in the players.
Ever get a pat on the back
when you did something you
thought pretty good? Or after
you'd blundered, though doing
your best?
Yes? Then you felt pretty
good, didn't you?
Well, you're no different from
the players down there on the
field. They like the cheering
word, probably more when they
try and fail than when they come
through.
Washington fans like to write
letters to US, hammering the weak
teams we have in the league and
then they go right out and swing
their hammers. How in the world
can they ever expect anything
better? It's about time they came
to life and did something to help
instead of to injure the chances
Of their own ball club.

you, think it over.

the player-writer rule became actl
The proposition afforded the first
concrete evidence OF plan afoot to
raise professional tennis to the
status now enjoyed by professional
golf. Briarcliff Lodge is the same
organization that employees Gene
Serazen, leading American profes.
sional golfer, at a salary estimated
at somewhere between $4,000 and
$4,000 year. They say it with
greerbacks in that locality.
The text of the offer to Tilden
/ follows:
"Briarcliff Lodge desires to nego-
tate with you for your services
should you decide to become a pro-
fessional. The 900 members of
Briarcliff Lodge. deeply deplore the
possibility of your withdrawing from
amateur competition and trust that
this action may not be necessary.
We feel, however, that the splendid
efforts you have made toward popu-
larizing the game of tennis might
be continued as professional at this
club, and the inducements we are
prepared to offer are commensurate
with your standing as the foremost
tennis player in the world"
The message was signed by
Chauncey Depew Steele, whose
name as manager of the Organi.
cation stands for dough and dol.
lars and leaves no doubt what
ever that a determined effort will
be made to launch professional
tennis on a newborn career if
the tennis association fails to re.
cede from the stand that has
caused the resignation of both
Tilden and Vincent Richards.
Early today Tilden had not been
in receipt of the message of good
cheer at his Philadelphia home and
therefore, declined to comment on
the offer. He, however, did not
hesitate to make himself clear as
to just how he stood on the pro-
fessional issue.
Personally, 1 do not favor pro-
fessional tennis" he declared. -
consider myself an amateur and
would prefer to remain such even
though 1 could probably treble my
income by joining out and cut pro-
fessional ranks.
II feel that the entire situation is
being anticipated. The player writ
err rule does not go into effect un
til January /, so / intend to play
in the national championships this
season. Perhaps, by that time SEN
timent against the rule will have
crystalliZed. 1 have been informed
that the West Side Tennis Club
proposes to review the matter. If
such a move goes through, 1 in
finitely prefer to remain in anna

matches in this country. His
match with Sarazen. handicapped
by rain, drew $806 in San Fran
cisco and $1,450 in Los Angeles.
His share of the match at Atlanta
against Bobby Jones was $749.
The largest gate for golf, how
ever, goes back to 1920 when
Harry Vardon and Ted Ray
played Francis Ouimet and Bobby
Guilford, amateurs, at Belmont.
Some $1,000 was taken in, the
Britishers getting a large slice
of it.
Two years ago, at Charles
River, Hagen and Kirkwood play
ing Sarazen and Ouimet, at
tracted $4,000. Also in 1922
Hagen and Kirkwood drew $1,4OO
at Rochester, N. Y.
The BOBBY prize goes to Salt
Lake City in 1923 where Walter
Hagen drew the pitifully small
gate of $24.
Golf is not a grandstand game.
1t is impossible to guarantee
anybody anything for his money.
A spectator might see the driving
from the first tee and never again
have a good view of a single
shot. Or, he might never get
close to the players until the last
green. Therefore, golf must be
looking up when such gates are
attracted by the professionals.

When Augustus Caesar and

schedule of existence, they Didn't
expect any 1924 editors to come

original model was never to be
altered except in case of fire,

both.
There should be something
left inviolate in our lives that
the public can't tamper with
and that fashion edicts can't
change. AS it is, you can't be
sure of anything, not even the
time of day.
