ASSN
TAKES STEPS FOR
NATIONAL ADVERTISING
Extensive Budget For This Phase
OF Work Newspapers, Maya
zines, And Booklets

At meeting held Tuesday after
noon by the Publicity Committee OF
the Del-Mar-Via Eastern Shore Asso-
citation, at it's Offices, approval was
given to the copy and schedule for
the initial stages of national ad-
vertising campaign, Action was taken
directing release of descriptive and
news matter and endorsement given
the plan proposed to place sign boards
throughout the Delmarvia Peninsula
This frst phase Of the advertising
campaign calls for a budget OF APP
proximately $4,000, and appropria-
ton Of this amount was made.
The Pennsylvania Farmer, week
ly magazine, it was announced, will
publish an illustrated article dealing
with the agricultural advantage Of the
Eastern Shore. The article will prob
ably appear in an early issue. Copy
and illustration for an eight page in
sert to be run in Country Life In
America next month were approved.
In connection with this advertisement,
an eight page booklet of size similar
to the magazine itself, and carrying
the same illustrative and reading mat
ter will be issued. An initial order of
5000 of these booklets was placed.
The committee also approved copy
for advertising, which will appear in
the leading Sunday newspapers in
Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore
and New York, and which is to be ex-
tended to other dailies, within an APP
proximant radius Of 300 miles Of the
Peninsula. About 100000 readers
will be reached by this source. 1t Is
planned to release the first Of these
advertisements SO that they will make
their appearance not later than Sun
day next.
The bill board campaign provides
for the use of large and Illuminated
boards at the main entrance points OF
the Peninsula. They are to be sup
orted by smaller sign boards at the
entrances of the towns and con1muni-
ties, and will carry message not on
ly of welcome but put forward the at
tractive features which the Peninsula
as a whole, and the community as a
section, desire to advance.
While this advertising covers the
more immediate territory, the COM
mite outlined a program to carry II
further afield in all sections in the
second phase Of it's advertising cam
paign, to be launched about July l.
This will call for an appropriation Of
about SIS, 900, and willg realty extend
the area covered.
It was decided to hold general
meeting of all members Of the Asso-
citation on or about May 81, for the
purpose of p' 4ing before the entire
Memberships complete report Of the
work accomplished, effecting perma-
nent organization and approving the
program for the remainder of the
calendar year.

was Griffith who was placed in
active charge of the club when
the League invaded New York
in 1904.
Griffith resigned his New York
berth in the middle of the 1908
campaign, following club troubles.
Then for three years he managed
the Cincinnati Reds in the Nation
al League. 1t was Ban Johnson
who induced him to go to Wash
ington. managing the club and in
vesting his life's savings in the
stakeholder, today Clark Griffith is
president and a heavy stakeholder
in the club. Under his guidance
Washington has won two pennants
and one championship of the world.
Whether Griffith would consider
accepting the presidency OF the
league is not known. It is possible
that he might be approached from
the sentimental side when he would
refuse absolutely the suggestion
coming from any other angle.
He would probably have to dis
pose of his Washington club. That
is a pet project of his as well a.
a. monument to his life's connection
with baseball and it is by no means
a certainty that he would give that
up to become head of the league he
helped to found back in 1900.
E. s. Barnard, of Cleveland, grew
up in baseball under the tutelage
Of Charlie SomerI, whose millions
did much toward putting the Amer.
lean League in the field and keep
ing 1t there through the bitter war
fare with the National League
Barnard worked we'll with the late
James A. Dunn and upon the lat
ter's death, he became president u
the Cleveland club. He Is minc
stakeholder and might find tn
league presidency to his liking.
A fourth possible candidate h3
been mentioned in the person o
w. S. Harrldge, Ban Johnson's per
sonal secretary. Harridge is tho,
oughly conversant with the detaila'
work OF the League and has frieno
everywhere in baseball. However
he Is not supposed to be as for
midable a candidate for the honor a.
any OF the magnates mentioned.
Ed Barrow, business manager q
the New York Yankees, fOrmP
manager of the Detroit and Boz
ton clubs In the American League
and for several years president OF
the old Eastern League, is aIso
being mentioned as JOhnsOn's pos.
sible successor. However, his can
didacy seems to lack any real
strength, and it may be but a DO.
lite gesture in his direction.
The seriousness of Johnsons
physical condition, while known for
several weeks in the inner councils
of the League, was not generally
known until today. Last Friday
Phil d. c. Ball, owner of the St.
Louis Browns, visited Johnson in
chicago and made arrangements to
have him visit st. Louis and place
himself under DR.. Hyland's care.
Ball and Johnson are close friends.
the st. Louis man standing by John
son when every other magna.e in
the league was against him. Bail In
tighter and he shows his natural
combativeness in doing all he can
to keep johnson alive.
The Washington times., 1926-08-05


Personally ] think Eddie Plank
was one Of the greatest pitchers
who ever stepped into the box.
He wasn't a big chap, and he didn't
have the natural ability of Wad-
dell. or Johnson or some of the
others. But he had a head. He
knew how to pitch, and what to
pitch, and when to pitch.
The more / stick around big
league baseball, the more I'm SIRE
there are two classes of pitchers
One class is the big, husky bull.
backed chaps who have all the
natural ability in the world, but
in manys cases never learn to pitch
with their heads. The others are
the smaller chaps like Herb Pen
mock. Eddie Plank and fellows of
that type who lack the ability of
the others. but who more than
make it up by studying the game.
Eddie Plank was the real
daddy" of the brainy pitchers.
I've seen him strike out heavy
hitters with pitched balls that
didn't have a thing on 'em-balls

SANDLOTTERS
SALT AND
PEPPER
~xYAaRa0
By z. D. THOMAS

Not the least interesting fact
about the first game between
Fashion Shop and Chevy Chase
Dairy in the Commercial League
finals was the wide open space in
the grandstand.
The sandlot fans TURNED
DOWN THE HOTTEST ATTRAC-
TION OFFERED THEM THIS
SEASON.
The hundreds who saw these
same teams play in ordinary Com
mercial League games on the
WHITE HOUSE Eclipse, re-
fused to PAY for the privilege of
watching them perform at the
Griffith Stadium.
Not In recent years has a
leagues games been so well at
tended as have been the Com
merciaIs this season. And few
important sandlOt events have
been given the icy shoulder ac-
corded the Commercial Leagues
grand finale.
Probably the significance Of all
this is that Washington sandlot
bugs are adamant in their objec-
ton to commercialized games played
by men who are supposed to be
spurred by the amateur spirit. =
At the very bottom of the fans
objection, however, probably would
be found resentment of the ego
tism of some of the players who
think their performances are
WORTH AN ADM S S o n
CHARGE.
And herein lies the baneful ply
chology of the Griffith stadium as
applied to the sandlotter. When a
fan pays money to pass the stadium
turnstiles 1t is with feeling some
how that he Is to see big league
stuff. It's habit, that's all.
The sandIotters strut on the
field, makeshift, clumsy. out of
tune with surroundings and the
big-time trimmings. The fan can
hardly help visualizing big
leaguers out there on the diamond
and contrasting them with the
sandIOtters. All of which makes
the sandlOtters look pitifully
cheap.
If the Commercial League series
has lacked patronage because IF
commercialism the post-season series
among the various league champions
should benefit immensely by refrain
ing from it.
Many a fan today accepted with
enthusiasm the announcement by
the Capital City Baseball As5ocia-
ton that the post-season series
would be played on the municipal
fields, where no admission charge
or collection Is permitted.
Watch the bugs flock to those
games!
Action will start late this month
in the big play-off. Every league in
the city has affiliated with the
Capital City Association, and today,
for the first time in history, all the
championship competition Of all
classes Is under the direction of a
single organization. Sandlot base
ball at last presents a solid front.

that would hardly break pane
OF glass. / was talking to Ed
die Collins during our last series
in Chicago and something was
said about Plank.
"There was a pitcher" Eddie re-
marked. '.Give me a couple OF
Eddie Planks and you can have
al the Waddells, the Raymonds,
and Groves you want. I'll win
pennants from all that kind YOU
can send against me-"
Chief Bender, famous team mate
of Plants, but now coaching the
White Sox, was standing near while
we were talking. Finally he joined
in: II guess 1 rated as a pretty
good pitcher in my day." the chief
said. But let me tell you learned
more about pitching from Eddie
Plank than ever learned from al
the other pitchers in baseball thrown
together.
