Swiss guards, designed by Michael

the scene, reminiscent Of the splen-
dor of the papacy in past centuries.
The early eighteenth century was
represented in the uniforms of the
gendarmerie, who resembled giants
in high busbees, black tail coats,
white breeches and high buckskin
boots.
The Palatine guards presented an
even more martial appearance in
their more modern uniforms of
green, with white and red cockades

Judge Alone Plays Through.
Judge at first base was the only IN
fielder to hold his position all the way.
With these many changes, the infield
was unsteady most Of the time.
The experimenting extended to the
outfield, too. Red Barnes was tried as
a right gardener. but was lifted early
In the campaign. Sam West, never able
to get going at bat. was relieved Of his

greatly in his right-field work.
All was not gloomy, though. During
the season Washington developed such
worthwhile infielders as Hayes, Myer
and Joe Cronin. And some of the
young pitchers showed sufficient at
times to indicate they may blossom into
regular big leaguers before long.

Under cloudless sky and in the

AS the train stopped, the hundred

GRIFFMEN'S 1929 PACE
FAILS TO CHEER FANS

THIS year the washington Base
Ball Club was more Of disap-
pointment than in many years
i past. Hailed as a pennant con-
tender when it came out Of the
South In the Spring. not only by local
sports writer's who had watched 1t In
training, but also base ball authorities
throughout the country, the club proved
a failure from the start of the cham
pionship campaign and barely man.
aged to finish at the head of the Sec
ond division of the American League.
Teh Nationals played 153 games.
They won II and lost 81. One tie game
was played and two scheduled contests
we're washed out by rain. Fifth place
was the poorest finish for a Washing
ton club since 1922, when the Nationals
wound up their campaign In sixth posi-
ton.
An unpleasant year. too, for Walter
Johnson. handling big league club
for the first time in his long base ball
career. Like others, johnson regarded
the club he brought up from the South
as good one, but he was unable to
make 1t go once the flag race started.
The Nationals went through their
season never reaching the 500 mark in
winning percentage. They started
poorly, steadily grew worse and for
three months were all but helpless.
Then, suddenly, they braced and went
through the last two months of their
campaign at clip better than 500. It
was this brace that enabled them to
beat out for fifth place the Detroit
Tigers, managed by their former pilot,
Bucky Harris.
Two Glaring Weaknesses.
The Washington club h-l two glar-
ing weaknesses this year. 1t lacked
good pitching and 1t lacked power at
bat. Fred Marberry was the only
pitcher to finish with a good record.
Three others managed to break the
500 mark, but this trio was too spotty
in its work to be of much aid.
The washington attack was weak the
greater part of the year. With the
punch of the club. Goose GoSlin, fall
ing from the heights Of a league bat
ting championship won last year to
below the 800 mark, there was little
left in the lineup to produce the hits
that meant runs. But for the efforts
Of the veterans Sam Rice and Joe
Judge and the youngster. Buddy Myer,
the Nationals would have had virtually
no offensive.
When the club cracked suddenly after
coming up from the South, Manager
johnson felt compelled to do a deal

this had its Ill effects II was soon
learned that Myer would not do as a

BASS NEW CROWN
MAY Be ABOLISHED
Junior Lightweight Class
Menaced by Questioned
Morgan Battle.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL,
Press Sports Writer.

N YEW YORK, December 21.-The
junior lightweight class, youth
NJ full hybrid among the eight old
4 divisions that have existed
since boxing was organized,
seems about to die sudden and nat
ural death in New York State, land Of
its birth.
The death blow, experts believe, was
struck last night in Madison Square
Garden, where Benny Bass, Philadel-
phia veteran, knocked out the defend
ing champion, Tod Morgan, in two
rounds of title test that aroused def
mite suspicious in the minds of the
faithful and the critics alike.
Shortly after the raising of Bass
hand as the new 130-pound title
holder. Chairman. James A. Farley of
the State Athletic Commission an
nounced that neither boxer would be
every phase OF the match had been
made.
May Abolish Class.
Today, although no official statement
could be obtained, it. was generally un-
derstood that the commission will
abolish the class at its meeting Tues
day as the one definite means of pun
ishing the participants for any irregu-
larities that may have prevailed In the
ring last night.
A dearth of direct evidence that
things were not ION the up and up is
admittedly the bar to more drastic ac-
ton. Chairman Farley ordered the
sending of the fighters checks to the
commission after 1t was discovered that
gamblers in the lobby of the Garden
were offering as high as to 1 that
Bass would knock out the defending
champion.
Reports circulated before the fight
that Morgan had been guaranteed
$35, 900 by Phil Glassman, manager of
Bass, in event that the title changed
hands, caused Farley to instruct Referee
Jimmy Crowley to be on the watch dur
ing the action.
Glassman said today that stories of
the excessive guarantee were only pub
licity," issued in an effort to stir up in
tereSt in the match. Entire receipts
tctaled only $3.50
There appeared no hint today that
Morgan, who held the upper hand dur
ing the first round, was not completely
knocked out In the second round. He
was felled for count of nine by one
right-hand punch, and finished by an
other that landed sQuarely on his chin.
Frank Bruen, vice president of the
Garden, suggested today that the 130-
pound division. several times in ques-
tionable repute since its Inauguration
here seven years ago, be abolished i'm
,mediately. He said also that in the
event the commission took action against
Morgan and Bass they, too, along with
any other boxers of the managers in
volved, Glassman and Frank Churchill,
would also be abolished" as far as the
Garden is concerned.
