Nv RODNEY BUTCHER

WAShINGTON-Th IS one or
SANITATION in Washington-just one
which isn't seeking any more pub
licity. The Anti-C:garet alliance has
had plenty.
Not that the jolly old league would
object to exactly the r;gnt kind Of
lublfcity, you understand, but some
Ehow it just hasn't been able to get
I,the sort of free advertising it would
like.
The fact seems to be that no Oils
, takes the Anticigaret alliance. very
seriously.
And consequently, the manager OF
its headquarters here, Mr.. Ma.
honey, IS harder to interview thar
President Coolidge himself. That is
literally true.
Mr.. Mahoney breads the news
papers as the burnt child breads the
fire TOO many correspondents hav-
devoted their more humorous moments
to the Ant:-Cigaret alliance and Mr.
Mahoney claims to have been very
seriously misquoted.
q So whenever anyone gets anythins
from Mr.. Mahoney it will take the
shape of a formal statement, formally
approved by the board of directors,
trustees. managers or whatever they
are, and given TO all the newspapers
simultaneously.
STILL one can scare up enough OF
the leagues literature to broadcast
the leagues message to smokers anu
their unhappy families, in spite OF the
league itself.
The organizations abnorrence or
publicity even goes so far that a
visitor cannot lind It's name on the
building directory or on the door OF
its office.
The place is harder to find than al.
obscure sp5akeasy.
Inside, however, is kept . table Of
Pamphlets and placards with which
The alliance carries on its work

ENEMY
Of GR|FFS

TAMPA, Fla, March 17.-Bucky
Harris has a chance to compare
his team with the Mackmen today.
The Buffalo InternationaIs, slaugh-
tered by the Griffs last week, 16 to
l, are coming over from Palmetto
to tackle the American League
titleholders after defeating the
Mackmen, Z to 5. on Monday.
Derby-Day Bill CIymer, aged and
crafty manager, saw the Griffs
walk all over his team, and the
very next day switched his lineup.
1t was his revamped team which
defeated the AS with Gray, Wal
berg and Harriss pitching.
Gray, touted as sure to lead the
League this season, was touched up
for three runs in the very first
frame and for four more in the
third. The game was all over
then and there.
Agains the Bisons today on
Plant Field, Bucky Harris will send
three rookie Flingers-Harry Kelly.
Ray Joyce and Lefty Thomas. They
will be supported by the regulars,
with extra lads like Joe Harris.
Earl McNeely, Maurice Archdeacon,
Tex Jeanes and Hank SEVERED
eager TO rush to the assistance of
anybody needing it, to humble the
common enemy.
Bucky Harris will send his gang
out today to better the work Of the
AS against Buffalo, If for, nothing
more than mental effect upon their
American League rivals. 1t is. pos
sible that the Griffs may get a hop
on the AIS before ever leaving
Florida.
Tomorrow the Phillies come here
with the Griffs playing a return
game with them at Bradenton, Fri
day. ~
The weather is becoming warmer
here, and the last two weeks may
find the Griffmen working under
ideal conditions for the first time
since the training season got under
way on February 10.
