FANS CURIOUS
OVER MATCH

Two wrestlers of different char
acters will oppose tonight when
Karl Vogel and Tony Felice mix
in the headline attraction at the
Strand Theater. Local mat fans
are curious to see the pair in
action.
Vogel is a mild-mannered Ger
man who only gruntS when his
opponent becomes abusive. He
gives one the impression that he
is a Gallaudet alumnuS.
Felice is an Italian heavy
weight who does an Art
ShireS in the arena. He tears
at his foe with the fury of
a lion and raves if dealt with
unkindly.
Pete Schultz, of Logan, w. Va,
and a newcomer for District mat
fans, will try to end the vic.sory
string of Daddy" Joe Turner.

mellow age of 46 years, is no

weak on ground balls. Riggs Stew
enson, of the Cubs, Bob MeuSel,
the former Yankee outfielder now
with the Reds, and Jack Rothrock
of the Red Sox are examples of
this. AS outfielders they have been
stars. But if some smart manager
hadn't been wise enough to shift
them, they probably wouldn't have
lasted half dozen seasons as in
fielders.
The most unusual switch of all
probably is from some other posi-
tion to the box. Right now can
recall only two players who have
made that switch. One is Red
Lucas Of the Reds, who for two or
three seasons was a utility man
in the infield and outfield. And
the other is Bob Smith of the
Braves, who started pitching SIM
ply because the club was up
against it for pitchers. Bob was
an infielder, but once he started
taking his turn in the box the BoS-
ton club suddenly found that he
was d real p1GC11cI.
Mel OFT, of the Giants, and
Jimmy FOxx, of the Athletics,
the two kid members Of the
big leagues, both started their
careers as catchers. Now OFT
is one of the most promising
young OutfieIderS i'm the buSi-
ness and Jimmy is equally at
home at first base or third
base.
There are a lot of other in
stances of switching that turned
out great. Johnny Hodapp, the
Cleveland second baSeman, started
out as a first-Sacker. Max Carey
played a season at ShortStop in
the Central League before he
shifted to the outfield to become
one of the great outfielderS of all
time.
Randy Moore, the third base
man for the Boston Braves, was
an outfielder until this spring,
when Bill McKechnie shifted him
to the infield as an experiment
and found the boy o. K. from the
start. Andy High, the Cardinal
third baseman, started out as an
outfielder, too, and Whitley Witt
was a very poor ShortStop before
he developed into a high class out
fielder.
The whole story of baseball is
filled with things like that. Play
ers sometimes hate to make a
switch--but it's fact that dozens
of our greatest stars at one posi-
ton were dubs at some other post
before they found a manager
smart enough to see their possibili-
ties and start them right.

JOURNEYS END
FOR CUNTS
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

It's the end of the road tonight
for the Frenchs' and Skinker
Brothers Eagles when these teams
clash in the George Washington
gym, 1920 H st. N. W., in what
will most likely determine the
champion of the Independent
Basketball League. Action is to
begin at $3.50 o'clock. The Stew
arts and CreScents collide at 1880
O'Clock in the preliminary.
The Eagles and French'S are
at present tied for first place,
with seven wins and one defeat
apiece. Each will have one more
league game after tonight.
A victory for the Eagles
will practically merit them
the banner as then they must
only dispose of the Wood
lawns. The path for French'S
will be more difficult, how
ever, for in case they upset
the Eagles tonight they must
next score over the Grays in
the Silver Spring ArmOry.
The WOODLANDS have won only
two league engagements. The
Eagles will play the WOODLANDS
either Sunday afternoon or Wed
neSday night in the Silver Spring
Armory.
French's will start tonight's
game with Mickey Macdonald
and Eagle" Anderson, forwards:
Eaton Chalkley. center, and
"Pepco" Barry and Eddie Coli
flower, guards. Edie Webb, Ralph
Bucca, Heinie Gubisch and Lefty
Trtpp will be in reserve.
The Eagles will lineup with
Jack Faber and Joe Sweeney,
forwards; Duke" Allen. center;
Dick Streeks and Ralph Bennie
guards. Bert Thompson and Nor
ris Clarke may be called upon for
relief duty.

Some of the other fellows were
sitting around and got into the
conversation. And right on our
own club it developed that Lou
Gehrig and Mark Koenig had
started their baseball careers as
pitchers. So did I. Tony Lazzeri
had played the outfield as a kid.
George Pipgras had started out
as a first baseman. Bob Shawkey
started as a first basenaan too,
In the kid games and happened
to start pitching because the reg
llar pitcher came up with a sore
arm.
All through baseball there are
cases Of men who started at one
position then switched to some
other. The most common switch
is from pitching to playing the
outfleld. The answer to that one
usually is hitting. A fair pitcher
who can hit that ball is a lot
more valuable to his club play
ing everyday in the outfield than
he is getting into the game every
third or fourth day as a pitcher.

pitchers-and they are only a

shifts that become perman-

One of the best examples of
this is Moe Berg of the White

Then nne day all the White Sox
regular catcherS were hurt and
Moe volunteered to go behind

Moe Berg has been listed as a
catcher and a good ~one. Prob
ably II 1t hadn't been for a couple
Of split fingers Moe Berg would
have finished his career as a
substitute infielder without even
realizing that he was better
fitted as a catcher.
Switches from infield to outfield
and vice versa are more or less
common. A lot of kid infielders

Mellon Opposed to
Bank Restriction

Washington, June 25.-(P)-Secre-

that he believed it against public
policy to adopt the house resolution
designed to prohibit federal reserve,
national and state banks from invest
ing in German reparation bonds or
other certificates issued pursuant to
the new plan to settle Germany's war
debts.
The secretary said that under the
present law federal reserve banks
have no authority to purchase such
securities and that the resolution, in
so far as they are concerned. was
meaningless. National banks, he said,
are limited to purchasing securities
that r marketable" under rules
issued by the comptroller of the cur
rency. There is, in my opinion" the
secretary said mo more reason for
congress to say that a national bank
should not purchase a r%eparation bond
than to say it should not purchase a
specific railroad OF industrial bond.
TO do so would place our government
directly in the banks management.
It is unsound and unnecessary"
