Dan Howley, a former Amer
ican Lacquer, is doing nothing,
and very rapidly at that, to off
set the impression which seems
to be rampant that the Amer
ican League Is a somewhat
stronger baseball representation
than the National, to which
Howley has recently sworn al
legiance.
Since he took up the reins
laid down last fall by the vener-
able Jack Hendricks. Howley
has effected a strong admixture
Of American League talent into
the Cincinnati team. Besides
his own genial personality and
baseball brains he has brought
into the picture no less than
three players who, heretofore,
have worn the habilments Of
the younger league-Harry He'll
mann. formerly of the Tigers;
Bob Meusel,. erstwhile Yankee,
and Leo Durocher, of the same
American League breed.
Washington fans, as well as
fans Of other American League
cities not so far up in the race
last season, are still wondering
how the Reds were able to get
this trio on waivers, as no one
Of the trio is considered through
his major league career and in
the case of Durocher, he may
not have yet gotten weIl on his
way.
If Lippy Leo, the only COM
petitor Art Shires had for the
jockeying championship Of the
league last season, could lop sew
eral points off his fielding aver
age and add 'em to his hitting
figures, he would be a real
find. You can bet that Smll-
ing Dan Howley will give the
loquacious Leo plenty of spring
drilling with the stick in hopes
Of showing Bob Shawkey what
, O prospect he overlooked in let
ting Leo slip away from the
Yankees and the other Amer1-
can League magnates what Saps
they were to ruthleSSly let Leo
out Of the league entirely.
The marvel of this Durocher
situation is that every club in
the American League waived
on him, whereas three National
League clubs put in claims on
him when his name came along
on the waiver list. Baseball
magnateS have quite a way of
railroading a man out Of a
league, when they get their
heads together in a friendly
agreement.
It is getting in baseball so
that this waiver thing doesn't
mean a thing anyway. Few
players actually change teams
at the stipulated waiver price
of $500. The magnateS "play
BALI with one anOCher IN these
matters. An owner finds some
team in the other loop wants
one Of his players and is willing
to give something over the
waiver price for him.
He gets in touch with the
other magnates in his league
and says, in effect: Here, I
can get a fancy figure for john
@. Mastoids from the Harlem
club of the Triple xxx League.
Now you birds lay off him when
I ask for waivers. Remember
laid off George Y. GumdropS
for you last season and Percy O.
Fiddlesticks the season before
and you owe me this favor Of
letting me waive this Mastoids

In that four days of racing at
the popular and attractive Hialeah
race course at Havana will be
available to those who are contem-
plating the trip with The Wash
ington Times party, the little ex-
ploitation into Florida Is proving
to be particularly interesting to
the local track devotees who usu-
ally have to go without racing
from late November until April
first-the long winter hiatus be-
tween the Bowie fall and spring
meetings.
Truth to tell, several grOul5
have mentioned that they do
not care so much about the
Sharkey-ScOtt fight, around
which the trip is being ar
ranged, as they do about the
chance to enjoy four after.
moons at Hialeah.
Few of the party members who
have already signified their in
tention of going on The Times
tour, have discarded the oppor-
tunity to also have a ringside seat
reserved for them, because they
do not wish to be In Miami and
miss such an important and color
full international boxing card as
will be staged down there two
weeks from next ThurSday-but
the thought which has impelled
many to inquire into the trip has
been the opportunity the trip
gives of witnessing horse racing.
Too, some of the golf enthuSi-
asts are looking more toward the
chance to do a half dozen rounds
of golf in Miami and at Miami
Beach than they are to the fight
card. However, they too, have
mostly decided to "shoot the
works" and take in everything
available during the stay in Miami.
More husbands and wives
are joining the party every
day, the lure Of well-earned
vacations to break up the
long, hard winter pulling at
the heart as well as the
purse strings. Odd, too, the
wives don't want to miss that
fight.
Although he is not to be on the
fight bill as he was a year ago
when Sharkey met Stribling,
Marty Gallagher, Washington's
on-coming heavyweight, is feeling
the urge to get down there among
the mugs, so to speak, and do
not be surprised to hear any day
now that he has joined The
Times expedition to Florida.
Since fighting is Martyrs game,
he naturally wants to be where
fighting is the prime movement.
He feels the few days among the
fellow-members Of his craft won't

HOPE ON, HOPE EVER
By w. H. Landvoiet

M. Alcott first turned it loose on

plays of their type have delighted
juvenile audiences time out of
mind and have introduced many
rising generation to the theater.
It is really gratifying that they
can find an audience in these
days. The talking movies, which
have taken their place with the
younger generation, are so much
more satisfying to the morbid
juvenile taste. They would be,
naturally, now that folks grow up
more quickly than they used to.
It's a wonderful thing to be
grown up.
RUT as commendable as may be
the effort of the Junior Thea
ter to keep young folks from
growing old too soon, it has its
rival. 1t has been said that the
movie is a grasping octopus whose
tentacles reach out where the
imagination fails. Manager Hardie
Meakin of the Fox Theater also
is striving for a share of the
patronage of the young people.
So, enlisting the able cooper
alton of Mrs. Harriet Hawley
Locher, whose later life has been
largely devoted to fitting the
movie to the youngster and with
excellent results, is going to re-
peat the experiment he made with

conflne the visits of their children
