TODAY'S
SPORTORIAL
By Kirk Miller

Washington'S golfing clique,
and when you say that you In
clude both the city directory
and the telephone book, must
doff its several and respective
caps to the Washington Golf
and Country Club for it's initia-
tive in giving it's members and
their friends two of the most
attractive exhibitions of the
ancient and honorable game
that the most exacting golfing
tastes could ask.
Only last week the Jewell,
Va, organization energetically
afforded the many who cared
to pause, an all-too-fleeting
glimpse of the British golfing
ace. Archie Compston who by
this time is on the high seas
homebound.
The distinguished Englishman
has hardly taken his leave, be-
fore we have the announcement
from Fred Paxton, Washington's
golf chairman, that Bobbie
Jones, national amateur cham
pion and the man who was run
ner-up to him at Oakmont last
summer, Watts Gum, will drop
over in Virginia on the first
Sunday in May to engage in an
exhibition with our own prodigy,
Roland Mackenzie, and an un-
named star, probably a fourth
member of the American Walker
Cup team.
A very full measure of spring
golf activity indeed for any
club, large or small! Paxton and
Jim Drain and the powers who
be across Key Bridge know how
to create and hold club interest!
The golf clubs throughout the
country which are in a healthy
state at the moment are the
clubs which are eternally pulling
something. Others are having
tough sliding and therefore re-
curing assessments of their
membership.
1t is with no claim to occult
ism That we predict that traf-
fic policemen on the road to
jewell will have their hands full
a few Sundays hence. Club
members over there will receive
many telephone and personal
hints for invitations to see this
approaching match. Those who
are lucky enough to get on the
grounds will be a privileged
group indeed.
Jones and Gum and the un-
named star will be PLAYING on
one Of the sportiest courses in
the South and one of the pref
test. The former has not been
seen here for five years and
Gum has never displayed his
wares for the edification of
Washingtonians.

hurled it into right field. Naturally

REVENGE:
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER

Yep, them thar Giants were
Tucked out in the world series
of 1924. That's what they said
then. That's what they have al
ways said. Now they have proved
it. They took the Griffs camp
in the exhibition series this
spring, five games to four.
"McNeely had horse shoe with
that lucky bounce away from
Lindstrom," said each and every
Giant and each and every Giant
rooter.
We'll show up these guys"
growled John McGraw when the
1925 spring exhibitions began, called
everywhere the little world SERIES"
Gosh darn it, the Giants started in
to prove it. too, only to be brought
up short, the series ending in tie.
This year the Griffs had their
rivals on their backs with four
victories to two, only to have the
New Workers rally and win the
next three games and the series.
So now you all know that the
Grlffmen Tucked out In OCTOBER,
1924, and that the Giants were the
better team and, should have won.
If you don't believe it. ask any OF
the Giants or any of the Giant
rooters.
Hugh McQuillan, McGraw's bad.
bad boy. was Internally good on a
rainy afternoon yesterday. holding
the various Griffmen to five scat"
tered hits. Indeed. only two home
boys reached second base. Rice
landed there in the opener on his
single and a putout and stuck there.
Goose Goslin didn't even pause in
passing on his rousing double up
against the right field fence, but
Frisch's smart relay from Young
to Lindstrom chopped down the
wild goose of the Potomac at the
far corner. In other words, Mr..
McQuillan seemed to think that it
was midseason. Or maybe he want
ed to prove that the Griffs tucked
out back in October, 1924, Never
can tell.
Joe Bush had an inclination to
be wild and was not especially
effective when lie did find the
location of the weIl.knOwn dish.
A couple of passes, with double
by SOuthwOrth and a single by
Kelly, gave the Giants a pair Of

they had a. year ago. Walter French.
former Rutgers and West Point
baseball and football star, is likely
to replace Ring Miller in right field.
He is speedy on the hoof and has
been hitting hard enough to suit Com
ME Mack and his board of strategy.
Sim HaFriss, the lad who doubles
the final letter of his name just to
make il more difficult, has been
prfmed for q real battle with Wal
ter Johnson. They have battled
many times before, with alteTnat-
ing success.
While the champions look good
enough to suit most folks, they are
not yet moving as fast as they
Eventually will. Goslin is not hitting
up to form and neither is Joe Harris.
The latter has been bothered by a
sluggish liver or something and
hopes to play himself into better
shape.
Roger Peckinpaugh has yet to
exert himself. The old warhorse
goes better when the games mean
something so his exhibition form
may as well be tossed into the back
room. He has another he uses in
the championship season.
Muddy Ruei's pegging is not yet
up to the mark, the mark he has set
himself, but Bucky Harris is conf
dent that the little catcher wiz be
right inside of a week.
The Griffmen may not be ready,
but they honestly believe themselves
superior 10 the As and this conf.
dence should bring them up even,
allowing the Maclxmen to be in better
shape on the opening day.
Anyway. everybody should be
happy with the start Of the season.
It's the only baseball opening this
year. you know.
