BUCK HARRIS NEW
CONTRACT WILL NET
HIM COOL 100000

NEW YORK. April 3. - Less
than two years ago Bucky Harris was
merely second baSeman Of the Wash
ington Senators. Owner Clark Griffith
was looking around for a manager
from whom he could get results and
who would not mind living at the ma
tiOnal capital during tho winter
months.
In desperation he shouldered the
job on Harris as manager. and when
Bucky got the appointment he was
In Florida aud had not even been
asked TO take it.
Much has happened to Harris
since that time to lift him out of
the ranks of ordinary second base
men and make him one of the most
talked Of leaders in baseball. Now
he has started work for the Wash
ingtOn club under a three-year con-
tract worth about 100000 to him.
The terms of the contract have
not been made public. but those
who claim to know insist that Har-
ris got raise of $4,000 a year.
Once Griffith read the opinion OF
the writer's he lost no time in sign
ing up Harris. There is great re-
joicing in Washington because the
boy manager did not hold out.

'GRABBY' CRABS
JOB AS SOX
BACkSTOP!

CHICAGO, April .3.-This little
yarn has to do with John GrabOwski
of Schenectady, n. Y. Our subject is
a catcher, and a mighty fine one at
that Down in Shreveport four catch
ers were working out daily with the
White Sox They were the redoubta-
bic Ray Schalk. Clyde Grouse, Harry
McCurdy. a recruit from Houston and
GrabOwski.
The latter is going to do a lot of
backstoping for the Collins club the
coming season because he has AR
rived" He was vastly improved
catcher toward the latter part of last
season. but this spring he looks even
better.
Grabowski is a young man as ball
players go. TO be exact he is just
26 years of age. He began playing
baseball like all boys on the lots Of
his native city. He played with some
Of the strongest semi-prO clubs IN up
per New York state, but not until
1921 did he gain any professional ex-
perience.
In the spring of that year he
Joined the Minneapolis club of the
American association. 1t was rather
an. ambitious start for a yOungster
lust out of the semi-prO ranks and
shortly after the season opened John
was shipped to Saskatoon in the
Western Canadian League.
But the big boy with the strong
throwing arm was too good for the
same year he was recalled by the
Minneapolis club. In 1922 Grabow-
ski was Harmed out" by the MillerS
to the Western League. He had a
good season and the following year
| found him back in Minneapolis and
doing much of the catching.
In Minneapolis Grabowski remained
until July of 1924 when he and Leo
| Mangum. his battery mate, were sold
to the White SOX.
Grabowski has wcathered the storm
while Mangum driftcd back to the
minors. Last season he was in the
International League and the coming
season will find him performing III
the Coast circuit.
GrabOwSki has one of the greatest
throwing arms in baseball and knows
how to use it. He also packs quite

CHANGE OF PACE.

That pitcher with the frozen face
who seldom drops q game
Has got corking change of pace,
the other pitchers claim.
A fast one tips across the plate like
lightning through the sky,
Then one that seems TO hesitate floats
indolently by.
His team stays right up in the race
from springtime on till fall,
Due largely to the change Of pace he
puts upon the ball.
Some players have a change OF pace
that doesn't help their game,
Their pace throughout the afternoon
is always just the same;
But when the shades Of night drop
down they drop their lazy walk
And hit a pace around the town that
makes the neighbors talk.
Existence soon grows stale and flat
and they are placed on shelves
For such a change of pace as that
fools no one but themselves!
If YOU are DIGGING in LIES race
you'd better watch your step
And try thorough change of pace
and show some life and pep,
But il you want disaster to make
your hair turn gray
You'll make your night pace faster
than the pace You hit by day.
Some of the greatest heroes that ira
dition can recall
Are men that never monkeyed with
a change Of pace at all!
