touch last evening, converting
the gardens of the Pan-Ameri-

land for the concert devoted to
Latin American music at which
DR.. Leo S. Rowe the Director
General of the Pan-American
Union, was the host.
The ESplanade, bordered
with tall trees resembling the
Italian cyprus, Towering shrubs
and beds Of flowers, formed the
setting for the affair, which
was given out of doors, the
chairs arranged on the terrace
and in the garden encircling
the pool in which was reflected
the annex, faced with blue tile
on which soft lights played,
making a glorious effect.
The flags of the Americas
were massed at either side and
the Navy band, the members
of which wore their white uni
forms. occupied the fore
ground.

gracious speech at the end, a
tribute to the artists taking
part and a welcome to the

all the diplomats, and resi-
dents of note now in Washing

pect of a host who at all times
says just the right thing to
make all present feel that per-

Even the driveway was
adorned with the flags Of the
Pan-American countries wi h
lights playing on the building.

through the patio abloom with
tropical plants and palms, with
the parakeets asleep on their
perches. they Immediately got
the atmosphere of other climes
which when approaching the

STAFF
COULD USE
ADDITIONS
BY GARRETT WATERS

With the deadline for player
trades during the regular season
only a matter of two weeks away,
there is a possibility that the
Washington Griffmen might grab
themselves a pitcher or two, it is
the indication at this time.
The Griffs could use an addi-
ton to their mound corps with
Marberry still out. Liska on the
voluntary retired list and the re-
mainder of the staff in an un-
certain condition in regards to
stamina and ability to win games.
Only Six on Hand Now
The staff comprises six men at
this writing, namely. Jones,
Brown, Hadley, Fischer. Burke,
and Crowder. and with only
Brown and Jones going in top
form, it is not such a formidable
collection of beavers when you
come right down to it.
True, Fischer won his game
yesterday, but he is not in the
midseasOn fettIe of either Jones
or Brown when everything is
considered.
The executive heads had little
to say regarding the aquiSition Of
new talent when broached yes
terday, and Manager Walter
Johnson was content to feel that
his team would get along with
the present crop of hurlers.
But, with all that. it's hard to
figure just how the Griffmen will
go through the remainder of the
schedule with their present staff.
Which gives every reason to be-
lieve that before long Uncle Clark
Griffith, president of the Grltf-
men, will hand out announce
ments heralding the addition OF
one or maybe two new hurlers TO
help out.
johnson Confident
Manager johnson is concentrate
ing on how he will work his pres
ent staff at this writing. He feels
that any or all of them are ready
to give their best. even Crowder.
Says Johnson:
"My pitchers know how
things are at this time and
they're all set to work and work
hard every day. Burke and
Hadley especially are ready to
step in there at any time as re
lief men or starters, and I'm
going to use them more often
from now on with the staff in
its present condition. When
Marberry comes back, things
will take on a new angle. It's
all in how you look at it,"
johnson, while naturally con-
cerned, is not worrying too mucn
about how things will turn out.
The case of Ad Liska was set
tied for the time being yester-
day. The young submarine hurler
was placed on the voluntary re-
tired list after a conference with
Clark Griffith and left Washing
ton for months rest at his
home without pay.
Marberry Coming Along
Griff says he believes that Ad
will still come around before the
season is out and help the team
in the stretch run.
Fred Marberry should be back
in uniform in another three or
four days ready to take his turn
on the mound, according to
Trainer Mike Martin.
