HaAey Looks
Best ofYoung
Fingers on
Gri Staff
By LouIs a. DoUGHER

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Marcn
6.-Irving Hadley, Ray Joyce and
Lefty Thomas are the pitchers to
face the Boston Braves here to-
day in the first exhibition contest
Of the season for both teams and
of the three Hadley alone has
made i really favorable impress
sion upon Manager Ha us.
OF course, / cannot say much
about him, remarked Manager
Harris today. HE hasn't used
any hooks yet, but his general
style and form indicates strength
and I shall give him good trial."
Hadley is but % years old. He
came down here with q note OF
introduction from Jack Cheshire,
former coach for the Griffmen.
Chesbro had watched the big fellow
hurting for East Douglas in the
Boston Twilight League, and con-
cluded that he might have chance.
Hadley had been flunked at Brown
University and So, with college
baseball closed to him, he Joined
the Massachusetts, semi-pro club.
Today he looks like the best rookie
hurler with the Washington team.
according to such veterans as uncle
Nick Altrock and AL Schacht.
HadIey Is still d bit over weight.
He is q chunky yOungster, weigh
ing almost 200 pounds and stand
Ing some five feet eleven inches
He has loose action and plenty Of
speed. He has used no curves
as yet, but his general intelligence
has convinced Manager Harris
that he Is worth looking at.
So today he is carded to face the
Boston Braves. who number several
really good hitters. II the young.
ster makes good. he will have gone
far toward cinching further trials
during the coming exhibition series.
Thomas, the rookie south-paw,
has also made a good impression
upon Manager Harris, though hard
~ up to Hadley's standard. Thomas
lacks control. a typical fault for
a southpaw. Unless he acquires IL
he will hardly be of much use to
the champions.
Joyce, a tall right handler, is hav-
ing his second trial here and not
much is known of him. He may
not hang on once the regular sea-
son gets under way.
With the exceptions of Buddy
Myer and the pitchers, the Griffs
are presenting veteran lineup
against the Braves today. The
Boston management cannot make
q howl that Washington is no at
traction at the gate.
Muddy Ruel. who quickly came to
terms after inhaling one of Presi-
dent Griffith's famous debate cigars,
looks to be in excellent condition.
He has little etxra weight to lose
and should be ready for his best
work long before the Griffmen
again see Washington.
Tomorrow will be a day of rest
for the athletes, most OF whom will
go fishing.

VICTORIOUS FRENCH NET
STARS SAIL FOR HOME

NEW YORK, March 6.-Carrying
home the American indoor cham
pionship cup for the second time in
two years, the French tennis play
ers were to sail for home today on
the liner France.
Not only did Rene Lacoste own
the championship trophy for a
period Of one year, but Jean 30.

tation Of being the foremost liv-

sinuates that Helen played the
greater tennis, but showed the
lesser experience.
Writing for the London Daily
Telegraph, he says in this connec-
ton: ''She fought against odds all
the time, but fought with superb
courage and with skill that lacked
only more experience TO bring
greater reward"

correctly at this point, he wants to
say that Miss Wills, given more ex

But, you know how those things

Myers, by the way, is not all
praise for Helen. He takes her

that Suzanne failed to obIige.
Judging from the evidence al
hand, England Is more sold on
Helen Wills as a tennis player
than some Of the self-elected ex
perts here in America.

Since 1T is the principal duty OF

On the twelfth the fairway has
been considerably widened and the

clearing up the tee shot tangle.

Washington has a lot of credit
coming for the changes that have
been made over the winter. The
golfers who have played the course,
and the sitters who have played the
lounges, have given their officers
many thanks.

the Yankee bad boy. He reforms
just as enthusiastically as he sins
and at this particular momen. tbs
reform movement has assumed fhf
proportions of an engulfing tidal

The systematic training Ruth
followed during the winter has

are no longer haphazard.
Right now, he weighs 222

as nails, his eyes clear and his m.no
free from worry and misapprehen

his former home run records would
be foolish. Probably he won't. But
he will be a much improved bal
player this year, nonetheless--and
unless the unforeseen happens, he's
due for great season.

Hotc to make
Strawberry jam
keep Tie color and favor
Of the fresh berries

Your jam will taste enough like
fresh berries to use in strawberry
shortcake If you make it this new.
easy, short-boil way with Certo.
Save the following recipe to use for
your first batch Of strawberry jam.
Cut in halves lengthwise with
stainless knife about 2 quarts Of
small or medium-sized fully ripe
berries. After halving, weigh out
2 lbs. berries. or measure AZ level
cups Of berries. packing solidly into
the cup until juice and fruit come
to the top of the cup. Add Z level
cups 6 lbs.) sugar and mix we'll.
Use hottest fire and stir constantly
before and while boiling. Bring to q
fun rolling boil and boil hard for 2
to 3 minutes. Remove from fire and
stir in y cup Certo. Skim and stir
repeatedly for just 5 minutes after
taking from fire. to cool slightly.
Pour quickly and cover hot jam at
once with hot melted paraffin.
The short boiling time, possible
only with Certo, prevents the loss
Of delicate flavor and the darkening
in color which used to occur during
the old long boil. 1t also gives you
. larger amount Of jam. SINCE you
save. the large quantity Of juice
which used to boil away.
Certo is pure fruit product
the iellying substance Of fruit re-
fined and bottled. A book Of simple
recipes comes with each bottle.
Your grocer carries Certo, or you
can send l0c (for postage) and get
trial half-size bottle which will
make from to 10 glasses Of jam
or jelly, depending upon the recipe
used. Address Douglas Pectin Cor
