WALLOP
By BOB THAYER

Ossie Bluege and Goose Goslin
should improve the offense of the
1880 Washington Club so per
cent. Such is the claim advanced
by Manager Walter Johnson.
In the first place, johnson be-
heyes that none of the Washing.
ton players listed as holdouts de-
serve that rating,
"Just because they've been
backward about signing doesn't
mean they won't agree to terms, .
he contended today they're
merely taking their time about
coming around. n
81 believe GOslin thinks too
much Of baseball and Clark
Griffith to stay out perman-
entity. He's got the stuff to
come back and that's what 1
look for him to do"
AS before stated, Walter frank
b believes the Goose deserves a
salary cut y But he sees no rea-
son why he can't work his way
into the big money again.
Goslin had bad year IN 1929,
John volunteered today" but the
chances are he will be all the
better for his slump.
Naturally, the ball club can't
pay off on predictions. Under the
bonus system outlined, however,
Goose can, by making good, get
the coin, or most of it, he pulled
down last season."
Bluege, says the big train, will
be better than ever. following the
operation on his trick knee.
For some three years, OsSie has
been forced to be cautious with
that member. With his knee
properly healed, he can take
chances which formerly were i'm
possible, not to mention mad
visable.
"Bluege was just getting in
tune when he was hurt last
year." Johnson reasons. And
Goslin. usually a rapid starter,
hit the bumps when it hurst most.
Both will be ready to get
away at top speed this campaign.
Goslin, following his downfall,
should show up better than ever.
With everything to gain and
nothing to lose, he figures to inn
prove 100 per cent?"
Barney also thinks that Joe
Judge, Muddy Ruel, Sammy
Rice and a flock of others
will hit their normal PAGES
at the start of the 1899
American League schedule.
"Rice was about the only player
Of the lot to start and finish
strong last year." he admitted,
"and there's no reason for it.
"Joe Judge played the greatest
ball of his life late in the year.
My idea is to get him started
when the race begins. And if he
doesn't bat $40 I'm way off"
The same, says Walter, goes for
the majority of other veterans.
He is confident that the entire
lot, or at least most Of them, will
eventually be brought into line.
And. once this is accomplished.
he looks for a much faster start
when his men inaugurate their
1890 booking.

Even after the announce
ment came from General
Manager Frank Bruen yester-
day that the Sharkey-Sc
bout and the four preceding
heavyweight bouts would not
be "micriphOned" over the
ether waves, The Times
sporting department and the
SeabOard Air Line railway
were beSieged by late starters
to be taken on the trip.
The best that could be done
was to take the names of The
tardy applicants and promise to
notify them when and if hotel
and ringSide reservations could
be arranged today or tomorrow.
Wires were busy today effect
ing accommodations for those
who were unable to make the
original list which was forwarded
to Florida last Saturday. But
the formal announcennt from
Miami yesterday that under no
considerations would the fights
be broadcast, sent Washing
tonians to their telephones trying
to get reservations for The Times
tour to Miami.
Coming barely a week before
the fights are scheduled. the
bad news about the lack of a
broadcast of the fights. caught
many who had planned on sitting
beside their radios week from
tonight and getting a second
hand description of the conflict,
unaWareS.
When these unfortunate ones
reflected that q week ago for
the investment of q mere SIPS.
they cOu Id be on the scene in
q ringSide seat, there were
plenty of blues moaning about
the National Capital.
The Seaboard Air Line railway
officials who have been handling
the Times Tour said this morning
that If enough applicants arrive
within the next two days, and
provided they can't get enough
sleeping quarters in Miami, they
will charter Pullman cars and
permit the late comers to live
in Pullmans during the three
night stay in Miami.
However, it was hoped and
expected that room could be found
for everybody, which is nothing
more nor less than a break for
those who had been holding off
because they thought they could
listen to the heavyweight card
over the radio.
Today and tomorrow only re-
main for any late corners. so
don't lose any time. Just register
your names with the railroad
ticket office and Immediately
arrangements will be effected to
book you on this attractive seven
day trip at the original price of
$l25, including q ringSide seat
and all major living and travel
ing expenses except meals. Also,
remember, Saturday is a business

in the American quartet could
get himself a fair bankroll if he

I've fixed.

Fifty dollars on SharkeS

That would win about $105 il

If these were the old days

CRASH DAMAGES
L|PTON'S YACHT
Steam Craft Loses Port
GangWay and Tender Boat
in Collision During Race.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEWPORT. r. l., September 13.-The
steam yacht Erin, owned by Sir Thomas
Upton and carrying the owner Of the
Shamrock down the course Of the race
with the Enterprise today, was in COLI
sion with the motor yacht Gay Jane of
Boston, owned by Louis WeaSy. The
boats came together broadside and
little damage was done.
Both Erin and Gay Jane were run
ming together along course parallel to
that of the racing yachts when the Bos-
ton boat, a few lengths ahead Of the
Erin, veered too close to the Irish sports
mans yacht. The boats came together,
the Gay Jane scraping the length of the
Erin, crumpling the port gangway and
damaged a tender Slung near the stern.
The Gay Jane had part Of her starboard
rail torn away and was scraped con-
siderably.
Although no one was injured, the
Gay Jane, caught in the wash from
larger vessels, was in danger OF swamp
ing for several moments, and in the
Erin's stern. Neither ship hailed the
other after the collision, and both con-
tinued down the course.
In another collision during the race,
the excursion boat City of Lowell of the
Providence Line. carrying about 800
members of the Rotary Club Of Provi-
dence and other passengers, hit the
Coast Guard boat Wilkes. in command
Of Comdr Fletcher. Brown. The bow OF
the City of Lowell pushed into the
wilkes slightly abaft of midships, in
line with the engine room, denting
several plates.
The bow Of the City Of Lowell was
damaged slightly. The wilkes sprang
leak in her oil tanks below decks, but
continued on the course. There were no
injuries.

Rev. Edward J.. Sweeney, S. J., to

Rev. Edward j. Sweeney, S. j., born
and educated In Washington. where he
has become well known as a teacher,
preacher counsellor and friend to many
thousands of young men, has just re-
ceiveo one of the most important as
signments in the Jesuit order. He is
to take charge today as pastor of st.
Ignatius Loyo,a Church, Eighty fourth
street and Park ave, New York City.
Scores of Father Sweeney's boyhood
companions and hundreds of the young
men, especially of st. Aloysius parish.
whose studies and athletics he guided,
are arranging to give him a rousing re-
ception IN Gonzaga Hall on his next
visit to Washington. -.
Father Sweeney was reared in the
shadow of ST. Aloysius Church, North
Capitol and streets. He was gradu-
ate of Gonzaga College, and after be-
ing ordained to the priesthood later re-
turned to Gonzaga College as professor
OF the senior class, holding this posi-
ton for nine years. During the same
time he was we'll known as the director
