The Washington times., 1930-03-19

Few people, and Clark Grit
fifth least of all, seem to un-
derstand the seriousness of
Goose Goslin's mind when he
says that only one thing will
jar him loose from his Salem,
N. j., moorings, and that is
the offer Of an equitable con-
tract without any bonus clause,
without any verbal understand
ing that a high caliber Of
playing will bring additional
money and without any other
fancy and high-sounding per-
sonal promises from Clark Grit
fifth that he, the Goose, will be
taken care of.
Goose wants a contract with
a figure to his own liking stipu-
lated so that if for any rea-
son, as Goose says he has done
in the past, Griff refuses to give
Goose any additional salary, he
can take the matter to Lands
and force Griff's hand.
Goose has been burned once
by such eXtraneous business re-
lations with the Washington
club, he says. That was when
he was several years younger.
He is a grown man now and
understands better that the
only kind Of business in which
to be involved is business that
is written in black and white.
That Clark Griffith has al
ready yielded and is daily weak
ening in his stand is apparent
between the lines of the news.
Goslin has told this writer over
the phone that while Griffith
is writing him, he is not an
swering, because as yet Griff
is only using personal perSua-
sion, assuring Goose every
thing will be all right, ETC., but
that he. the Goose, is not
falling for such unbusinesslike
procedure and is maintaining a
stiff silence.
You see when Goose first
turned down his contract for
1880, he wrote his only COM
munication to Griff of this
year. He told Griff in plain
terms what he wanted and
that there would be no use of
offering him anything else. UP
to the moment Goslin has kept
this stand and in IT,, mean
time Griff is making overtures,
but he isn't talking figures.
he's talking pretty phrases. Cos
lin has never intimated by
word or action that he wouldn't
gladly play for Walter John
son.
In another respect Griff has
ostenSibly weakened. He hasn't
kept a single promise to sus.
pend GoSlin at two or three diff
ferent headlines" ne set for
Goslin'S reporting at Biloxi,
and, indeed, the club president
has at last discovered he can't
suspend a player until after the
season starts and that he can't
fine a player until the club
owes him money, and then
he's got to hold it out of the
players envelope in order to
collect it.
So, all you have to do to de-
termine for yourself whether
the Washington ball club needs
GoSlin more than Goslin needs
the ball club. is to recall the
various stages through which

EYNON FLASHES
KEEN GOLF
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON


The years have dealt lightly
with Eddie Eynon's golf game and
the veteran campaigner of the
local courses is serving up a
flasl1y brand at the present. Ap-
parently he is unannoyed by the
Goslin- Griffith controversy which
has been raging for two weeks.
He exemplified this yesterday
by touring Columbia, his home
course, in "a, four above par. He
travelled the outward nine in SO
and returned in 38 strokes and
probably might have reduced his
card for the return trip had he
not overdrove the seventeenth
green.
EynOn's ball carried beyond
the railroad track, but he
managed to squeeze a S out
of the situation nevertheless.
Playing with him were his
son, Everett, o. ]. DeMoll and
j. w. Beller. EynOn was
prominent in local golf long
before his son was born.
The United States Golf Asso-
citation has won its test case on
the legality of the 10 per cent
internal revenue tax collected on
purchase Of securities of golf
club when paid by an incoming
member to an outgoing member.
Ector o. Mum, who bought
stock from a retiring member of
the Long Island club, was the
central figure in the case. The
.. S. G., A. retained John G.
jackson as counsel and suit was
brought against Frank K. Bowers,
as collector of internal revenue
for the second district of New
York, to recover $3.50, the tax
equivalent to 10 per cent.
Judge Caffey, of the United
States district court for the
southern district of New
York, ruled that the tax was
wrOn gfully collected. The
Government will note an ap-
peal.

GOSL|N
LOOSE
By BOB THAYER

BILOXI, Miss, Marcn To-
Figuratively speaking Clark Grit
fifth may use one of two holdouts
to plug another position. In other
words, he has officially offered
Roy Spencer as an inducement
for a yight-hand hitting ouJfielder.
Realizing he can't very well
get along without Goose GoSlin,
his main swat, Griff is doing the
next best thing. He's seeking a
substitute. The first overture
made was to offer Spencer in ex-
change for one of Cleveland 5
right-hand hitting gardeners, Ed
Morgan, Of course.
"NOt interested" Roger
Peckingpaugh barked mack
over long distance, "but l
would consider a swap for q
seasoned pitcher" $50 would
T." was Griff's terse reply.
Griffith has since made it
known that he has approached
virtually every American
League club.
He wants a right-hand punch
and if Roy Spencer has any
magnetism he will get it. Griffith
tried repeatedly to land one Of
the White Sox pasture guardians
during the past season. But
Comiskey lost little time posting
the nothing doing sign.
Probably the best deal could be
negotiated with the st. Louis
Browns. That is if the Washing
ton Club wakes up and takes ad.
vantage Of it's opportunity. Fred
Schultz, an orthodox Swinger,
last year connected for .307. He
played 121 games, and got in a
lot of extra base knocks.
1t is understood Schultes
could be had for q reasonable
consideration. And he would
probably fit in snugly with
the present Washington COM
bination whether Goslin Is
signed or not.
So far as Goslin is concerned
he'll stay with the Washington
club this season. Griff has firmly
convinced the writer that he will
not part with the Salem boy.
It would relieve things consid.
erably if Griffith and Goslin came
to terms. Also it would play a
prominent part in promoting the
1880 prospects of the Griffmen.

the controversy has passed and
you will find Mr.. Griffith back
ing down both in the matter of
GoSlin'S promised suspension ns
well as in his statement that
after a week ago last Sunday,
Goslin would have to make the
next move. Plenty of mail has
been moving meanwhile from
Griffith to Goslin, but none has
been moving the other way.
Since that time Griff has
written Goslin at least two let
terS and to no avail, because
instead Of talking turkey, Griff
is talking spring poetry.
One thing which President
Clark Griffith apparently hasn't
taken into consideration in his
dickering with Goose Goslin, is
the fact the Goose plays ex-
actly one-haf of his 154 games
year in the toughest field in
the American League.
Washington's left field is the
worst sunfield In either loop
for that matter, and the man
whose constant job it is to
roam its reaches isn't in what
most fans would call a soft
spot.
But Goose Goslin is thinking
of that spot plenty, as he medi.
tates the future and ponders
the past. It's no snap out
there at best, he believes, and
that is an additional reason
why he's going to get his price
or else.
There has been much in the
public prints recently about
Jack Dempsey travelling the
back trail to pugilism.
There are certain heavy
weights and former heavy
weights in the land whom
Dempsey couldn't beat in a
month just as there are GER
tain others he can beat six
nights out of the week.
One Of the latter group is
Jack Sharkey, and the funny
thing about this situation is
that Sharkey knows this just
as well as does Dempsey. 1t
is almost a sure bet, as things
stack up now, that if Jack
Sharkey is given the verdict
over Schmeling next June and
the championship with it, he's
got Jack Dempsey on his hands.
For Jack will certainly come
back against Sharkey, the easi-
est route for Dempsey to re-
gain his throne and then-if
he chooSeS-retire a la Tunney
as the undefeated heavyweight
champion of the world.
In such case, there will be
those who will want to see the
two retired heavyweight cham
pions meet, but such an event
will not come to pass and prop
erly should not come to pass in
all fairness to the fans who
would be sucked in on such a
fight.
To begin with, Tunney will
never return to the ring, and if
he did return to meet Demp-
sey, it would be with the same
result as their two other meet
ings. Tunney has youth on his
side, something which Jack
can never regain and which will
not always, of course, be at
Genes command.
