Washington registering his protest in

''In answer to this communication I

sides his objection to my offer.

I would leave for the South on certain

lin that I would be in town a week
longer and would like him to come to

answer to this letter.
81 wrote Goslin twice after arriving at
Biloxi without any reply.
1.-THE Washington club, as you can
easily perceive, has made every effort
to get Goslin to talk business and while
we would like to have him on the team
we will not endeavor to open negotia-
lions unless first hearing from him.
IF Goslin is DESTROYS of playing ball,
it is up to him
In this statement Griffith is nothing
if not frank. It is a sincere effort to let
club side of the controversy.
Unfortunately, no one with the club
in training here has been able to learn
from Goslin directly how he stands in
the affair.
There was little action yesterday at
Engel Stadium, the training ground of
the Nationals. A chilling gale, accom-
panied by rain, swept across Chatta-
nooga the greater part of the day and
only the pitchers went through brief
workouts. Two more sore arms were
reported to Trainer Mike Martin, but
they do not belong to the hurting corps.
Jack Hayes, utility inf1elder, has
tender spot in his right shoulder and
Sammy West has a swelling in his left
arm, with which he does his heaving
from the outfield. 1t is believed West
hurt the wing during batting drill Mon
day. However, Martin does not consider
any of the arm troubles serious and
looks for the three ailing ones to be in
good form again in two or three days.

Schif, LoOed as Boxer,
Hated as Referee, Dies

LOS ANGELES, Calf, March &c.
An irony of fate has brought death
to Johnny Schiff, former feather
weight boxer and more lately known
as Southern CALIFORNIA; most I'M
popular" fight referee.
Schiff, who attracted worldwide
attention twice during his career,
died in hospital yesterday from an
infection which followed a blow de-
livered to his jaw by an incensed
fight fan.
Little is known of the referees
private life. None of his Los An
geleS associates know his age, birth
place or early history.
In 1912 Schiff's popularity reached
its height when he made a boxing
tour of the world. During the World
War he was decorated personally by
the King of Italy and by repre-
sentatives of three other govern
ments for bravery shown while driv-
ing an ambulance in the front line.
The last and anti-climatic phase
of Schiff'S career was lived here,
where he was called Southern Cali
fornta's most unpopular" fight
referee
His real name was Porter S. New
man, jr. He took the name of Schiff
when he launched his career in
Australia to avoid embarrassing his
father, Porter S. Newman, ST., then
bank executive in Southern Cali
for1lia.
The father has not been located.
