GRAFT INVESTIGATORS TELL STORY 0F MURDER
 AND ENGINEERING

NEW YORK, Sept. 28. P) A story of murder, gambling and racketeering, behind the thick doors of Tammany Hall, was told before the Seabury graft investigation committee by two police officers who often raided but seldom got anywhere by their efforts.
 Two professional gamblers were killed by L. Fazzis within the H. o. Perry Democratic Club in January, 1926. For four years since, this was known to the district attorney but no action was taken, supposedly to hide gambling and the fact that murder took place within the club.
 Police also told how two oldup men lost $l4,000, the proceeds of 3 payroll robbery, in dice game in Sheriff Thomas Farley'S political club and linked the name of Alder man Peter McGuinness with the club where dice games were played and bets taken on horses.
 Witnesses before the committee were Captain L. J. Valentine and Detective John O'Neill.

Brooklyn Robins To Go Sout Wfh Cre1v OF Fifteen Pitchers
THREE OLD MASTERS
 GIVE BROOKLYN
 BIG MOUND CORPS
By DIXON STEWART

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Feb 11.-(UP)-Addi- tion of Jack Quinn, 50-year-old spit baller. has given the Brooklyn Robins the oldest-and what Man ager Robinson believes will be the strongest-mound staff in major league baseball.
 The Brooklyn pitching corps now lists 15 men, including six untried rockies and although several of the rocks are youngsters whose only acquaintance with the razor is through hearsay, the average age of the squad is 29 2-15 years. Half Century old? Quinn is the Methuselah of the squad, even If the testimony of rec ord books which place his age at 46 is accepted. Jack admits to Slight ly more" age than is credited to him in the records and old-settlers at his birthdate as Hong about the time Grant took Richmond" leaving It, tie doubt that he actually has passed the half century mark.
 Adolfo Luque, Cuban curve ball tosser, was the former patriarch of the squad. The Cuban, who pitched his first major league ball in 1913, admits 40 years. Dazzy Vance, fast ball ace, is even more bashful about counting the years and lists his age as 37. although he broke into the majors with Pittsburg way back in 1914.
 Other Robin regulars, with their ages as carried on the Robins roster, are: Hollis Thurston, 31; Ray Moss, 2s; Fred Heimach. 28; Watson Clark, 28; Ray Phelps, 27 and Aus tin Moore, 24. The average age for the nine veterans is 32 5-9 years.
 Pea-Ridge" Day. 31-year-old right handler, is the eldest of the Robins six rockies with Lawrence Mattingly. 26; Phil Gallivan. 23; John Krider, 23; Will Greene, 22. and Van Mungo, 19, completing the list.
 Here's Experience. The "old timers trio''-Quinn. Luque and Vance-boast 8 total of |46 seasons in the major leagues. Quinn heads the list with IS seasons in the employ of the New York Yan- kees, Boston Braves, Chicago White , Sox, Boston Red Sox and Philadel- phia Athletics. Luque spent 12 sea- sons with the Cincinnati Reds, had three brief trials with the Boston Braves and was a star on the Brook F lyn staff last season. Vance earned credit for three seasons in trials with Pittsburg and the Yankees and since 1929 has been Brooklyns leading pitcher. t2s
 Although Brooklyn intends to use Quinn chiefly as a relief pitcher, Manager Wilbert Robinson believes the veteran may take a new lease on life with the adoption of the Ma tion leagues "dead ball" and prove a valuable starting twirler. %9
 Luque, who was signed last sea son as a relief pitcher, turned in IA winning performances as a regular member of the staff. -,
 Quinn, Luque and Vance are mas ters at their respective deliveries spit ball. curve and fast ball. and their control, poise and brains should make them wiHners now.tthat the rabbit ball' has been eliminated from baseball. S

The Washington rookie : is far above the average in fielding and was an effective hitter against Amer ican Association pitching. Whether or not he becomes a regular this year is a question as Joe Judge. who has had the deed to first base at the. Griffith Stadium for IS years, led American League first basemen in fielding last year and batted .326.
 New Additions
 Two other infield recruits are list ed in the Washington roster as re- leased today by Henry P. Edwards, manager of the American League Service Bureau. Baxter Jordan, who first based for Newark in 1880 and batted .349 and John Dashiell, who played sensational game at second for Chattanooga and batted .281 will be seeking berths.
 Washington recently was in dis tress as regards outfielders. True, it listed Henry Manush. most effective batsman, Sam Rice, who seems to be growing younger every year, and Sam West, just about the last word as fly chaser, but West had trou- ble with his arm last year and it has been rumored the whip still is both ering him.
 The Nats' only replacement was Dave Harris: whose long suit is bat ting rather than fielding, but Grif- fiths added Harry Rice, secured on waivers from the Yankees, and Tom Clark, brother of Earl Clark of the Braves. as reserves. Clark played with Providence and Portland, Me, last year. becoming free agent when his league disbanded.
 All Set on Twirlers
 The Senators will be we'll equipped with battery men. They had the most effective pitching staff in the league last year with Marberry, Jones, Hadley, Liska. Crowder, Burke and Brown. Added to that ar- ray Carl Fischer, International league southpaw, Walter Tauscher, 8 veteran from Dallas, Lynn Grif- filth, Western Association southpaw and Peregoy and Fidler, Blue Ridge league right handlers, give Manager Johnson formidable array for 1891.
 Muddy Ruel has been sold to Boston but Washington still has five catchers Roy Spencer, first string receiver in 1880, Red Hargrave, &C., ouired on waivers from Detroit, Coach Ed Gherrity, Ed Kenna, re- called from Chattanooga, and Cliff Bolton who also can play the out field.
 Just One Missing
 With the opening of the season two months away, it appears that the Senators will take the field about the same as they finished in 1890, except that Ruel will have givea way to either Hargrave or Kenfa as first string relief catcher.
