SOUGHT BY

By BOB THAYER

PHILADELPHIA, April %.
With interest stimulated by
the impressive getaway of the.
favorites in the 1929 Ameri-
can League pennant chase,
Philadelphia fans are pre-
pared to pack Shibe Park to
capacity when Manager Wal

Griffmen, along with Connie
Mack's battering A s, inaugu-
rate the 1929 American
League season here.
A sell.out of the reserved seats for
this opening attraction was assured
several days ago while grand rush
for the unreserved sectfonl was in
order this morning.
Since Johnson himself is rivahng
the fast.stepping Elephants as a
drawing attraction, the three games
scheduled here. if the weather holds
up, should go far toward recouPlng
some of the financial losses sustained
by the Griffmen to date.
When yesterdays closing game
with the Boston Red SOx was
postponed at the Griffith Stadium
because of wet grounds the
Washington club was forced to
fOregO action for the third time :
in its seven starts to date.
Sentiment here is running high re.

big league manager. Ever an idol
In Quakerland the big fellow likely
will be a target for several testi'
monials today before game time,
Much of the pageantry and crowd
color that was evidenced In the
Capital week ago may surround
todays spectacle, though the ball
game" itself means most to the pen
nant crazy fans.
The showing of the AS against
the New York Yankees in their aD-
breviated series at the huge 1an-
kee Stadium has materially hearr-
ened Connie Maek's well wishers.
Breaking even in these two per-
formances the Mackmen impressed

years final drive.
After Jack Quinn had dropped
a stubborn duel to Hoyt in the in
ausural, Lefty Grove, who last year
was repeatedly victimized by the
champions, did a comeback in
five-inning performance that was
stopped by rain.

Grove, Philadelphia Scribes
contend, has shaken off the
mental hazards that have so
handicapped him during past
seasons and is consequently
fitted to tackle anything coming
his way. "
He is particularly eager for
crack at his old nemesis, the Griff-
men. and it is understood that he
has requested an opportunity to
work the third game of the series
starting today.
Rube Walberg, the big left
handler who always shows best
against the Griffs, is expected to
engage either Bump Hadley or
Garland Braxton in today's attrac-
tion, while Fred MarberrV also Is

year il effort to make it easier for
the m to obtain leave from their
civilian employment. Heretofore. the
orders have indicated that the citizen
sailors were going because they had re-
quested It, and for that reason alone.
The orders were made to read that way
because of the law prohibiting the CALI
ing to active duty of any reservist,
during peace time, without his consent.
However the law also requires these re-
servists to spend Is days each year
in order to maintain efficiency. II they
do not. they face possibility of being
transferred from the fleet reserve to the
volunteer branch.
In order that the engine and fire room
contingents of the local organization
may be thoroughly familiar with the in
tricate machinery prior to departure on
the annual cruise, they are being given
detailed instruction in each branch by
Lieut.. Comdr. Lockhart, chief engineer
Of the battalion. It is a progressive
scheme Of instruction. One night they
are taken down and. with the boilers
cold, are shown how to prepare them
for the fires. At another time they are
shown how to raise steam" to test the
safety valves and to control the fires.
Other branches are then shown how to
warm up the engines, preparatory
to putting to sea. In fact, every detail
is to be shown, so that the men will
be well trained in their duties before
the vessel leaves her dock here. All
divisions are. being given this instruction
