EAST COMES As
FISHER TAKES
GATE
Smuggling outfieIder of Ameri-
can Association Gets Berth
With Griffs
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Carl East, the newest member
of the Griffmen, is due to be in
uniform today. He comes in ex.
change for George Fisher and will
probably be given bench duty until
Memo Leibold begins to show wear
and tear. Then he may go to right
field for a real test.
East has been knocking at the
big league gate for a couple of sea
sons. He has been a smuggling out.
fielder in the American Association
and big league scouts seem to have
overlooked him. They have claimed
him too slow for the big show.
Disappointed at failing to get
big league trial, East was rumored
this spring to be ready to hop into
the outlaws In Wisconsin. Indeed,
there was talk at Tampa that the
Griffs might get him then. He was
induced to report to the Millers
and has been playing right field for
them this spring.
Carr Smith, the young outfielder
from the Piedmont League, has
been sent to Chattanooga by Man
ager Harris. Smith promises to DO
a big Lacquer in few years. Lack
of experience sends him back %
the minors, but he should benefit
by being played regularly and may
be recalled in two days notice.
The Red Sox close their first
visit to the Capital tomorrow. The
Griffs leave for New York tomor-
row night, opening three-game
series at the Yankee Stadium on
Thursday. They return FOR Sun
DAY game with the Mackmen and
then move on to Boston for four
games. Stopping in New York for
a single game on Friday. May ..
the Griffs will open a long home
stay on Saturday, May 10, meet
ing the Detroit Tigers, first of the
Western clubs to come to Wash.

Thanks to q sudden storm Of
wind and rain and blackness. the
second skirmish between the Red
Sox and the Griffs ended in a tie,
2 to 2. Indeed, judging from all
that had passed, that might have
been the count even with twenty
innings. 1t was one OF those nip
and-tuck affairs, just loaded with
nip and punches of tuck.
Fred Marberry was in fine fettle,
but so was Alex Ferguson, making
everything even. Each was found
for six hits. Bobby Veach got three
off Marberry and Bucky Harris did
the same to Ferguson. Again every
thing was even. 1t seemed an even
sort Of a game.

from the bench to the plate and

darkening and the wind breeZing
up, the break came.
Bobby Veach opened with a
single, his second Of the day. Joe
Harris, the Red Sox captain. cracked
smart triple down into left field
and over came Veach. Ezzell's long
fly to Leibold brought Joe Harris
over with the second and last run
for Boston.
In the latter half Bucky Harris
led off with a double to left, also
his second thump of the fray.
Goose Goslin brought him in with
slap to right

for them. The clouds hung heavy

MUST WIN
GAME TODAY
DR. SINK

Tech is fighting for it's life today
in the high school baseball cham
pionship series, meeting Eastern at
3:15 o'clock in Central stadium. A
victory for Eastern, which appears
likely, would finish Tech as a title
contender.
Eastern is a favorite to win the
series, but not a particularly strong
one. Central is formidable.
Gladstone Roudabush, Eastern,
and Tew, Tech, both stars, are
slated for the mound today. Tew's
wildness gave Western a victory
over Tech in the series opener.
1t is .Eastern's first series game.

ter the only team in q position to

The league race already has
demonstrated the futility and the
fallacy of the Internatioual's lone
stand against the draft. Clubs like
Jersey City and Newark should be
able to get the pick of the Yankee
and Giant recruits and develop
them.
1t is we'll enough to say that the
International League prefers to de.

man some teams with semi-pros,

The fact that the Paumonok has
attracted the best sprinters in the
United States, as we'll as some of
the best known route coverers has
served to make it an important turf
classic. The great international
champion, Zev, from the Rancocas
stable, winner over Papyrus, the
EPSON Downs derby winner, makes
the initial bow of his four-year-old
season in this famous -furlong
speed test.
Zev has received a first-class
preparation for the classic, having
done most of his work down at the
stock farm of Harry F. Sinclair
down at Jobstown, N. J.
Evidently Zev was frightened up
for a winning effort before being
placed on the car for transpOrta-
ton to Belmont Park. In his
first trials he showed a fine work
out OF 1:27 20 for seven furlOngS.
Last Saturday he breezed six fur
longs in faster time than he won
the PaumOnOk last year.
All Of which would indicate that
Hildreth has his champion fit and
ready to show at his best. Few will
question the right of Zev to rule
over the present crop OF thorough.
breds.
II Hildreth decides to keep Zev
in his barn he will have Tester, a
three.year.old, who has been work
ing out with Zev almost daily. and
Rigel, four-year-old real worth. to
carry his colors. Tester is in under
the light load of 105 pounds, while
Rigel must carry Ill pounds. Both
look to have a chance to take the
purse should their more illustrious
stablemate fail to start.

Scientists have picked out
some day this coming June to
signal the planet Mars. It will
be the day that that celestial
apple is nearest to the earth,
but so far nobody has sug-
gested calling in the Bambino
for assistance.
1t only seems logical to sup.
pose that if they are sincere in
wishing to establish neighborly
suspicion with those total
strangers they wouldn't over
look a sure bet like the Khediv
of Swat.
He could spank a leather
covered capsule right up into
Mars back yard and knock all
the clothespins back into the
bag. The heavenly housewives
would then wax indignant and
tell their chagrined husbands
about it when they staggered
home from work.
An investigation by the Plane
torial Counsel of Unwarranted
Phenomena would more than
likely ensue in which a diplo-
matte exchange would be set
up between this strata and that.
The probe would develop the
nimble news that a star of this
magnitude had just been play
ing a friendly prank on a star
of another and that there is no
need of either body declaring
war.
This suggestion will probably
be ignored by one and all, but
if they fail to wig-wag Mars
this summer, they can't say
they weren't warned.
