Island to reach deep water. The
document was signed by 20 Har-
lingen citizens, including five at
torneys and two doctors.
Calling Of a mass meeting was
condemned as IAN antiquateo
method OF steam roller politics
The circular set forth that the Ar
rovo could be dredged and the island
cut for about S400. 900, pointing out
that s500,000 is available for the
project.
The circular stated that no one
is fighting bringing the Intra-CoaSt-
al canal TO Harrington. but contend
ed that IL would not reach here
during this generation. while the
Arroyo project could be pushed at
once.
Mass Meeting Opposed
THE voters and taxpayers Of the
Arroyo Navigation district are not
going to be herded into a mass
meeting where carefully selected
speakers. with carefully dictated
speeches will endeavor TO befog the
issue and railroad them into any
program of action or inaction
which will sound the death knell Of
the Arroyo project. Why should we

This years crop Of rockies,
frankly speaking, is mediocre.
And if three newcomers are re-
tanned after the start Of the
American League campaign there
will be cause for Wonderment.
OF the first year men there
are four standouts: Pitchers Car.
los Moore and Herbert Pyle. Out
fielder George Loepp and Third
Baseman Jimmy Mcleod. who
are standing the best chance of
making good.
Probably the most prOmis-
ing Of the lot is Moore. The

the Washington Club from
S2O,OO Built strikingIy
along the lines Of Fred Mar
berry and possessing unusual
stuff, his chances of hang
ing on are well above par.
Loepp, acquired from the Balti-
more Orioles last fall, had a
previous fling in fast company
with the Boston Red Sox. He is
a righthand hitter and in 1929
clouted around .3l5 while CON
Meeting for q flock of home runs.
Since .315 batting averages and
home run hitting are neither UNI
usual in the international League,
however, Doepp may or may nor
measure UP to the major stand
ard.
Pyle, brought up from Chat
tanooga in the draft during the
winter, enjoyed fair success with
the lookouts year ago. He is
righthanded pitcher, stands 6
feet 2 inches and has a good
fast ball.
Mcleod, 20-year-old Little Rock
third baseman, stands a fair
chance of being carried as a re-
serve infielder. His extreme
youth, If nothing else, may re-
suit in his retention.

CONTRACTS BAR
GOLF FOR MATS
BY BOB THAYER

BILOXI, MISS, March 1.-Bau
players representing the Wash.
ington club must get in all Of
their golf before opening of. the
American League season.
A provision in the contract Of
each player makes it clearly un.
derstood that participation in the
links pastime will be positively
prohibited once the actual cam
paign starts.
Last year Manager Walter
johnson permitted his men to
undertake this sport until mid
season. An uncalled-for trans
gress on them caused him to
clamp down for the rest of the
year.
When contracts were drawn
up this past winter President
Clark C. Griffith considered
it advisable to ban the game
altogether.
Therefore the athletes with
golfing tendencies are busy max
ing up for lost time while await
ing the deadline.
Today, the battery men now in
camp will bring to a close their
first week of training Late this
afternoon they will be joined by
several important teammates.
Outfielder Sammy Rice, due
March 8, is to report early after
a session at Hot Springs, Ark.
while First Baseman Joe Judge
and Third Baseman Ossie Bluege
are to pour in from another di-
rection. Sam West. newly wed
Outfielder, now in New Orleans
with his bride, may also show up.
Emile ("Red") Barnes, another
gardener, has been instructed to
report at once by President
Griffith.
Following Rice's lead, a small
parade of regulars are expected to
drop in prematurely next week.
Buddy Myer, Joe Cronin, and
George Loepp, ex-Baltimore Oriole
outfielder, are understood to be
getting away early and will prob
ably turn up any day.
Believing that the hitting
ability, of his pitchers should
be brought out more than In
the past, Manager Johnson
is planning such q course for
next week. We've got some
good hitting pitchers on this
team" Walter remarked to-
day, "and there's no sense in
passing them UP.
MY idea is to let them swing
at a couple and bunt one; you'll
be surprised how it will help.
johnson, himself a good hitter
in his day, has offered to' per-
sonally supervise this practice,
starting Monday.
Some of the older heads will
naturally horn into these batting
drills before they are far ad-
vanced. And, before the entire
squad reports a week from today,
some lively clouting should be
in order.
With the final reporting date
due next Saturday. great
majority of the players are signed
UP. The exceptions are Outfielder
Goose Goslin, Second Basenlan
Jack Hayes, Catchers Benny Tate
and Roy Spencer and Pitcher
Garland Braxton, Spencer and
Tate are expected to drop in
shortly. Knowing full well that
President Griffith. has offered
his best terms, they are not likely
to sacrifice their own welfare by
baking unnecessarily.
