s. s. NEW YORK, April a.
They IL try again today to
stage a ball game in the
Yankee Stadium, though the
outlook is none too good.
If they do get together. Lizzie
Lisenbee and Waite Hoyt will hook
up in a duel which may well be
worth watching. Lizzie was a 1inx
to the Yankees last season and
Hoyt has ever been a tough nut for
the .Griffs to crack. However. the
rain gods may spoil the program
entirely, forcing both teams to lole
away another day.
There are certain compensat1ons,
though, about idling in New York.
Loafing In Philadelphia for a day
is simply one day lost to life. In
Boston it's two days lost beyond all
recapture. In Birmingham, the
count is about five days lost en-
tirely. In Spartansburg let's be
still.
The movies were played
heavily all afternoon. AFTER
dinner the boys shifted to the
musical shows. Even the ladS
who ordinarily play casino or
rmnmv were off to the shows.
Joe Judge scooted away to get
acquainted with his father 1t
seems that the elder Judge, yielding
to the call of the ads in the papers
ana on every blank wall, has parted
with his ancient moustache.
s.I'II have to be introduced 10
dad all over again." laughed Joe.
Il never saw him in my life with
out that noble moustache. ne
chopped it off last winter and
hopes to cheat somebody, I sup
p0 Rnclv Harris acted as host to his
brother Merle. down from Plttston'
Pa, taking in a show.
Al Schacht struggled down TO
the Ansonia, found the game post
poned and struggled back to ms
home in the Bronx where ne
ofiickIy got under the sheets and
nlirsed his heavy cold.
y Zeb Milan was . BIT surprised
when his younger brother,
Horace, arrived. Horace was
WashingfOn's left fielder before
the coming of Goose GOslIn. He
has been playing in the minors
with fair success ever since get
ting aawy from the Gr1tfmen.
s Coslin sat in the hotel lobby and
fnourned a savage pain in his
Fight arm, complaining that the
had weather more than doubled his
tortures. =,
Nothing but come hot days will
DO me any good he groaned. i've
tried everything without any
benefit. Sometimes I feel like cut
ting the darned thing off alto
Stanley coveleskie, now with the
Yankees, visited with the boys for
a. while. He says he's ready to
ty%irl and especially wants to face
the Goose.
s"Yes?" said the Goose. "well,
you'll have to have all your stuff,
Convey, for I'm sure going good this
spring"
Covey insists that his arm is in
fine condition. His Washington
friends are all pulling for him, but
they are also waiting TO be shown.
Five dOubleheaders are now
!. facing the Griffs. two In Boston
: and one each in Washington,
Philadelphia and New York.
: The Red SOx, according to
9. Eddie EynOn. will play off last
= Saturdays skirmish on June 10.
:. Mark your calendar accordingly.
= As result of too much loafing
Milton CASTOR and Bump Hadley
have lost the fine edge of their
stitching form, and as soon as they
return to the Capital, will be given
extra duty under the eye of Sir
Miqus Martin. Sitting around in
stead Of pitching regularly il add.
ing to their weight in no unmistake-
able manner. 1t must come off,
says Sir Mique.
: Bucky Harris grOwls at the
threatening skies. He figures the
Yankees In a bit of a slump right
now and wants to leap at them. BY
The way. he's going to stay in the
lineup, he says. It's either that or
begin training all over again and
he doesn't care much for that.
