RlCNDEYIE'IR'h'I THING!
bY u0E H0L NAN

Rumor has it that another year
will find Capt. Joe Judge, crack
washington club first sacker, at
the helm of either the Detroit
Tigers or st. Louis Browns. Most
emphasis, of late, has been placed
upon the Detroit angle. Joe, a
born fighter and great ball player,
is highly thought of in the cities
mentioned.
Clark Griffith, Washington
president, says he would do moth
ing to interfere with any move
by which Judge may better him
self. In fact the Old Fox init
mates he would like snothlng
better than to see Judge blossom
out as a big league skipper. But,
until the right proposition is
made, it's q sure thing that Joe
will stay right where he is
Griffith adds.
While Judge appreciates the
esteem in which he is held, 1t Is
gathered that he prefers being q
private in the ranks at present.
$50 long as I'm playing base
balI-and i think I've got a
couple more years in my system
yet-Fd just as soon be ball
player" he told this writer to-
day.
81 think the player.manager
idea is gradually fading out.
Personally / want to play ball
as long as / can"
While it would not surprise il
the above mentioned clubs sought
Judge as manager, certain facts
indicate that considerable shifting
about would be needed to effect
such an arrangement.
The Detroit club, for instance,
is progressing famously under the
gallant leadership of Bucky Har-
ris. Harris, one Of the finest
pilots in baseball has worked
wonders with the jungle Cats
since July. and now has his team
fighting for a first division berth.
The Washington times., 1930-08-14

The Browns, it is understood,
signed Bill Killefer to two.term
contract last winter. Which means
that he has another year to go
that is unless some special agree
ment Is reached.
Certain it is that thousands
of WashingtonianS would pro-
test Judges transfer else
where-that is unless we'll
wishers of the little field
leader figured he was getting
a break.
And who ever got a break in
st. Louis!
Eventually there is no doubt
but what Judge will fit in as a
major leader. But, at present, he
seems satisfied to stay put with
the Washington club.
Usually big league ball players
get their nicknameS through their
pals. Either that or the press.
Here's one on Floyd Herman.
Brooklyn's home-run hitting Babe.
According to H. G. Salsinger,
sports editor of the Detroit News,
Herman one day was asked to ex-
plain how he picked up his wei
known title, Babe.
Everybody calls me that"
the big fellow replied, ''but I
made up the name myself"
Why" was the next ues.
tiOn. 49,
Because I'm just like Ruth
and hit that way" Herman shot
back.
But you don't look like
him." the questiOner rejOined.
"HOw d'yOu know, ever Seen
him?", Herman flashed back.
"YeS. have yOu."
"NaW, but l seen his picture
and I know him and me are
exactly alike" the National
Leagues Babe declared.
And that was that!

WANTS
HIM To TAKE
REST
Breaks and Bring Defeat to pengJer Post Nine
BY JOE HOLMAN

Walter johnson can remain
manager of the Washington club
as long as he pleases. AS much
was gathered from an interview
with President Clark Griffith
tbday
walters contract has another
wear to go. But it seems sentl-
ment more than a written agree
ment is governing the alliance be-
tween Walter and his boss.
Speaking professionally and not
sentimentally, Griffith said:
"JOhnsOn's the most improved
marager in the big show today.
And / won't be satisfied until
the big fellow leads his own
club to q pennant-I don't care
how long 1t takes"
Despite heart-breaking rever-
sails. Griff points out, Walter has
made amazing progress as a
skipper during the past year.
"T've never seen q good ma
tured, easy going fellow change
ms much as Walter has" was
the compliment he passed this
morning.
"He's chock.fulI of fight and
always on the job. Baseball
needs more men like him."
Following a series of headaches
and q siege of stomach trouble
Yesterday, washington club OIL"
cials this morning were striving
to persuade johnson to take q FUR
Tough. It was announced today
that Johnson's health was Q. &.
! Not onl--. from a physical, but
from a mental standpoint, 1t Is
Thought, Sir Walter would benefit
by 9 lay-off. Game to the core,
johnson is bent upon getting back
on the Job. If he decides to rest
for a time Capt. Joe Judge Will
act as manager.
The Washington club is looking
to Ad Liska, Carl Fischer ana
LLOYD Brown to come through ON
the mound. In the thick OF its
fight for second place, Washing
ton must get along, for the time
st least, without two Of its best
singing bets, Fred Marberry and
Sam Jones.
Marberry has q broken bone
In his right wrist, while Jones
this morning complained OF .
sore arm. Until Sad Sam is
ready to shoot in rotation
again which may be shortly,
it looks like LiSka or Fischer,
Brown. CrOwder and Hadley.
Left-handed Carl Fischer, fire
ball manipulation, is expected to
stack up against Pat CaraWay
when the Washington and Chi
cago clubs come together in the
final of their three-game series
today. Caraway handily disposed
of the Griffs his last time out.
Tomorrow the reiuvenated De-
troit Tigers are to lnaugurata a
four-game series against the Grlff-
men here. Earl Whitehill, Bucky
Harris prize left-hander. who has
won nine games in a row, may
be started in the box against the
residents.
A year ago Whitehill was a
real bugaboo to the GriffS, fail
ing them on no fewer than six
occasions. This season, however,
he has failed to do anything
with the team he once mastered.
Save for one fat period.
the seventh, Bump IIadley
pitched invincible ball as
the Washington club dOwned
DOME Bdsh's Chicago White
SOx yesterday. The score was
z to 4.
In the lucky installment the
visitors showed home four tallies
but could do no more. Garland
Braxton, Dutch Henry and Al
Thomas took an old.fashioned
licking as Washington maces
pelted out the verdict.

HOT WRESTLING
DUE TONIGHT

Well. it looks like the wrestling
matches at the Washington Audi
torium tonight will present sew
eral stirring moments. At least
Promoter Joe Turner holds to
that opinion.
Wrestling Is going over
big here" declarIes Turner.
This is shown by the in
creasing number of fans who
attend my weekly shows.
And I'm bringing tOpnOtch
heavyweights here, too"
For tonight's main event Pro
moter Turner will show Billy
Bartush, the Lithuanian, and
Mike Romano. the Italian. They
toiled to a Commute draw in
their last meeting here and
repetition of this match will suit
the local fans.
DOC" Wilson, late of Indiana
University, faces Chief White
Feather, full-blooded Sioux
Indian. The Indian won't fear
the white medicine man. Milo
Steinborn, the ponderous Ger
man whose brute strength strikes
fear into the hearts of opponents,
faces Moose Norbeck, the Can
adian woodchopper.
+ George CalZa, who has
thousands Of admirers among
local Italians, will hOOk-up
with Frank BrunOwicz, the
Polish grappier. zUrO Agha,
