In his only appearance against
the Shawkeys this season, Jones
registered handsomely. He hopes
to duplicate that performance
during the approaching set.
Although the regular big-league
trading season is at an end,
Clark Griffith is still hopeful of
picking up a seasoned infielder,
preferably over the waiver route.
Only recently when the St.
Louis Browns asked waivers on
Third Baseman Sammy Hale
Griff put in his claim. 1rnmedi-
ately the Browns withdrew
waivers.
Although the Old Fox claims
he has abandoned hope of get
ting Hale, something may break
yet.
Also it is understood that Jim
Dalrymple, Baltimore Oriole sec
ond-sacker, is getting Griffith's
once over. AS much was learned
from a recent Newark dispatch.
Should either be landed, young
Jim Mcleod would undoubtedly
be turned back to the minors for
more seasoning!
Nor, Griffith admits. would he
be amiss to buying another
catcher. That is If one could be
had.

BYNRK MILLER -

Along about a year from
now, / think 1t would be a
splendid idea for the same
committee of citizens which
made such a success of the Joe
Judge Day to give Washington
a Sam Rice Day.
Do hear a second to that
motion?
I think I hear many seconds
and I believe this city will rally
to a Sam Rice Day Just as
solidly as it did to the Joe
Judge celebration which gave
Joe nearly $4,000 on which he
can bank to see him through
after his baseball days are over
Heaven stay that hour!
In fact. would 60 a step
farther than proposing publicly
a Sam Rice Day for 1881
believe once a year a committee
of fans should designate some
Washington player to be thus
signally honored along about
mid-season.
These celebrations at the ball
park are good for the game.
Even with q winning team, it's
a good idea to stick some
"spizerinctum" into the daily
routine at the park and break
UP the schedule with similar
demonstrations to the Joe Judge
Day.
It's good idea to be unset.
fish about baseball too, and to
slap a bit Of the human touch
in there from time to time to
show some consistent and ageing
ball player that the fans. over
and beyond their paid patron
age through the years, are ap-
preciative Of artistry afield on
the part Of a ball player.
Clark Griffith was one of
the happiest men. in the en-
closure Saturday when the
town turned out to pay homage
to Judge. He'd be equally glad
to divide the gate receipts on a
similar basis with his old
friend Samy Rice next year and
I'd bet all he'd need right now
would be a suggestion from
some fan and he'd designate
Muddy Ruel as the chap to get
the big ovation in 1882. How's
that for a program-Rice in
1881 and Ruel in 1882. Ho-
wait-there's another - Bluege
in 1898. Well. let's let 'er go
at that-but don't forget the
program up to 1898!
Meanwhile we have seen some
The Washington times., 1930-06-30

long faces around the ball park
over the inevitable replacing Of
such men as Judge and Rice by
Shires and Harris, respectively.
That is the wrong attitude
for the fans to take, for the
timely acquisition of capable
substitutes for any ageing
player merely means those old
favorites will be with us that
much longer through the opp0r-s
tunity to get plenty Of rest as
q result of acquiring capable re-
lief players for them.
If Judge can't take plenty Of
time to recover from his charley
horses, he's going to be in there
playing when he's really not
fit. and the sooner viii come
the day when he folds UP en-
tirely.
The same goes for Sammy
Rice. His stomach ache would
be worse than it is If he didn't
have the satisfaction of know
ing that Harris can swing that
right field job to the queens
taste any day Rice doesn't feel
up. to snuff.
Muddy Ruel comes in the
same class. They've worked
Muddy like a plow horse around
this town the last half dozen
years. # ever a catcher de-
served the quiet satisfaction Of
sitting in the dugout and feel
ing his absence from the game

that man.
All three of them-Judge.
Rice and Ruel will be In uni.
form far longer through the
medium Of having capable sub
stitutes, than If we let 'en go
in there every day-until they
dropped in their tracks.
So the fans who have been
having the attitude that the
presence of Shires in the lineup
means "good-by Judge" or that
Dave Harris coming means Rice
is ready for the shelf, or that
we've almost seen the last Of
Muddy Ruel. are all wet. Ali
three of those grand old cam
paigners are getting q deserved
relaxation and like Pat Char

around a ball club for many a

"YOur infielder, Werber, is

would be pleased If you use
him during series here.
CLARK GRIFFITH"
Within the next two days
President Clark Griffith, of the
Washington Club, is expected to
wire such a message to the New
York Yankee business office.
Bill Werber,, a graduate mem
ber of Washington Tech High
Schools &c class, is the per
former mentioned.
Werber, who stood out as an
infielder with Duke University's
nine for four seasons, recently
joined the Yankees. Since re-
porting with Bob Shawkey's con-
tingent he has appeared alter
nate1y at third base and short
stop. In the chances presented
him he has hit well and has
handled over 20 chances afield
with only one error.

And, New York critics claim,
he is due to make his mark
in the majors.
In recent years two other
Washington products have shown
in Yankee livery against the Griff-
men. Both were pitchers.
Lem Owen was the first to
turn up. Then Walter Beall, in
his hey.day q $4,000 beauty, re-
turned to his home town hero.
Frankly neither made the big
league grade. But. If advance
reports mean anything, there is
reason to believe that Werber may
succeed where his fellow-towns.
men failed!
The Yankees are to open up
here after the Browns have con.
cluded their four.game series.
Resting Thursday, the Griffs then
are to take on the Shawkeymen
in a four-garne set over a three
day period.

to be offered Friday. July 4, while

 MT. Cain states the tourists he met on his Northern trip were en- husiastic in their praise of Alas kas magnificent scenery and only regretted they could not spend more time and visit more of the country.
 Concerted advertising of Alas ka's wonders and potential re- sources through a central bure eu, representative of each section of the Territory would arouse greater interest in the Territory and would result in more extended tours of Alaska by the visitors who would return home with a better concep- tion of the North country.
 MT Cain returns to Seattle v booster for Alaska and deeply ap- preciates the courtesy and co-op- eration shown him. He is leaving for Juneau on the steamer Watson Monday.
