Ohio State will have relay teams

H. j. Swarts, manager Of the

Buckeyes are regarded as likely

PHIL HURLERS
FALL DOWN

It's hard to discourage Burt
Shotton, manager Of the Phillies.
He realizes his pitching has been
terrible all spring, but he's in no
wise downhearted.
"My pitchers" he cOnfesses
cautiously, "dO not look good.
But I'm finding out the ones on
whom I can depend. I think ]
can soon be able to announce
my five starters. Old Alex looks
good right now, and ! want to
see him get away TO q good
start. Our hurIers have posi-
biIities right down the line and
wen get going yet"
One thing that makes the Phil-
lies slabsters appear worse than
they probably really are is the
fact the team isn't hitting behind
It's pitching. II some of those
losses had been victories the poor
pitching would have been forgot

BY JACK DEMPSEY

just read where the New York
Legislature is considering q law
whereby the boxing commission
would be allowed to fine a fouling
fighter a mere $1,000 for swing
Ing q low punch. And if I read
the thing right, a ringman who
claimed foul but wasn't fouled
would be subject to the same
penalty. Let's suppose 1t becomes
Q law.
Seeking Brown and Roughhouse

They are the headliners. Rain

attendance Is nothing to speak
about. and Socking Browns share

fouls McGinty That makes him
subject to a 5000 fine. OF course.
the commission can grab his $3.50.
But where do they get the other
S4,260? Does Brown owe it to
them? If so, and Brown hasn't
the $4,250 and can't pay, do they
sue him?
Or is it what you may call an
lnstallment plan collection? If
Brown has only $3.50 due him,
that means he still owes $4,250.
Will the commission have the
right to grab each purse he earns
until the $1,000 is paid off?
And what happens II he
should land another foul,
smack before he has paid off
the original debt Of $4,000?
The way figure it about rs per
cent of the foul blows are acct
dental. Certainly Won Porat's
drive into Scott's groin was an
accident. I hear that Larry john
ston's low drive into Make Rosen-
bloom was an accident. There
was nothing malicious about those
punches.
Are men to be fined $4,000 be-
cause their aim of one punch in
perhaps 500 is bad?
II so, why shouldn't the base
bail powers fine or suspend q
pitcher who throws a wild one. or
hits batter? Both types Of ath-
letes are human and thus are not
infallible. But the bill which the
New York legislature is consider
ing forces the boxer to be 100 per

his punches or risk the penalty of
an enormous fine of $4,000.

OF every 1000 fighters in action

NARBERRY,
RUEL To
START
BY BOB THAYER


In keeping with his searly spring
promise, Manager Walter johnson
is prepared to bear down on Bump
Hadley.
Despite Bumps 1929 flop, Wal.
ter still considers him a blue RIB
bon pitcher. More work, he thinks
will keep the youngster in trim.
Hadley will get it starting Mon.
day.
Bump has already been lined up
for two assignments next week. He
will do a turn against the Red Sox
in Boston. A few days later he
is to come back against the Phila-
delphia Athletics at Shibe Park.
Bumps in great shape"
johnson explained today "He
can stand lots Of work. And
I'm going to feed il to him."
"Hadley used to stop the Ath.
letics regularly. He can do Il
again. Anyhow that's how
he feels. And I'm going to let
him play his hunch to the
limit"
In the Boston Red Sox series
starting Monday, pitchers Fred
Marberry. Lloyd Brown, Bump
Hadley and Bob Burke will likely
appear in that sequence.
Marberry and Herold Ruel will
make UP the Washington clubs
opening day battery against the
Red Sox at Griffith Stadium Mon.
day. The clubs will then shift to
Boston where three games are to
complete their set.
Concluding the Boston series,
Walter Johnson's team will move
on to Shibe Park where the maui
ing AS will be battled Friday and
Saturday. Fred Marberry, who
opens up Monday, may be called
upon to share mound duty with
Bump Hadley in this abbreviated
stand.
Another powerful opponent, the
New York Yankees, are to make
their 1890 debut before q Wash
ington audience. April 20. Man.
ager johnson has already in
structed Sad Sam Jones to pre-
pare himself for this gala en-
gagement.
By getting the most out Of
his nlOundSmen johnson be-
IieveS he will automatically
get his: bali club away to q

Bobby Burke. one of the Griff.
mems improved slabsterS. seems
destined to supplant Ad LiSka as
a nine inning pitcher at the start
Of the 1880 season.
Ad. who has faltered his last
two times out, seems to need more
work before undertaking q regu-
lation stretch.
For the first time in years the
Washington club seems to have
lined up two crack portside
pitchers. Bob Burke and Lloyd
Brown have shown plenty in
spring games.
The Griffmen yesterday made
it is triumphs In II exhibition

were outslugged in q pretty battle
at Oriole Park, rs.

In fact, all Travelled q pace fur

nous Blue Grass stake.
II has been the exception
to the rule when an outsider
won this race tuff classic.
The history Of the race, dat
ing back to 1873, substanti-
ates the assertions that more
favorites have won the enOr-
mOusly rich stake than any
other Of the big turf classics
Of the season.
Many big turf patrons have
made it a point to back the favor
ite irrespective Of the reputation
Of rivals. Favorite players have
received dividends regularly. They
are wondering II their good for
tune will continue for another
season.
The Kentucky Derby scheduled
for Churchill Downs next May
is not the cut-and-dried contest
of former renewals. The refusal
of Harry Payne Whitney to NOM
mate either Of his great colts,
Whichone or Boojum, left q def
cit in the ranks Of three.year-
olds which has not been taken
care Of.

olds would have been installed

alton the coming, blue grass
classic is one Of the best open
events in the long list OF derbies.
No 3-year-old is receiving strong
enough report to be rated the

In fact, most trainers and own

til they are certain how their

in their training. The result has
been such a wide distribution OF
small wagers that as good IL

Although Representativ e
Thomas L. Blanton Of Texas does
not want to be assigned to the
House District Committee in the
next Congress. there were indica-
tions today that he may accede
to the wishes of his friends and
accept the post when the next

His appearance Saturday before
the Mapes special committee in
vestigating fiscal relations Of the
Federal and District governments,
showed that the Texan still re-
tains an active interest in local

viewpoint on the issue Of local
taxation.
Even members Of Congress who
oppose many Of Blanton's ideas
on District matters, say he will
prove a useful member of the
