trotted out on the field and pre-
sented an impromptu pantomime
on a championship fight involv-
ing Johnny Kilbane-a Cleveland
favorite.
Lauds Nick
The fans, some $4,000, rallied
to the exhibition and greeted it
with a veritable ovation. Which,
quite naturally impressed
Griffith.
That, if memory serves, was
back in 1915. Nick had clowned
bit before but, according to
Edwards, his career as a real
comedian dates from the memor-
able day when Griffith packed
his crouch.
Griffith, incidentally, opposed
Altrock several times when both
were pitchers. Their tales vary.
Confidentially Nick will tell
you he bested his boss. And the
Old Fox just as readily tntimates
that his team, the New York
Highlanders, knocked Nick's ears
off.
'Nick had plenty of stomach
though" Griff will tell you.
81 remember back in 1904 when
the White SOx and Cubs were
playing a city series.
"The Cubs were leading, four
games to three. They needed
only one more game to cop.
"For some reason or the i
other" he added, "all of the
Sox pitchers were out of whack.
And Nick had pitched the day
before"
The Sox powers went into con-
ference. Whereupon Altrock in.
tervened.
Gimme that blankety. blank

He shut out the Cubs.
The Washington times., 1931-03-11

Griff passed this remark yes
terday as Nick clowned through
an infield drill. Despite a bad
throwing arm he kept some 200
natives in an uproar as he went
through his PAGES.
Altrock's clowning is becoming
an accepted American League
feature. In company with his
partner, AL Schacht, Nick has

Old Fox was furious. 1t was

"AItrOck was sitting in the

his face" Edwards further ex-
planned, when Griffith spot
ted him.
'What are YOU bOthering

Nick hesitated momentarily.

TRINITY GIRL 8
ROLL MARK

The value of duckpin scores is
decidedly not in their size.
Last night the Arcadia rang
with cheers and joyous laughter,
but when patrons neared the
drives from which the excitement
emanated they found that 1891
set was the cause of it all.
That total, however, is the high
est set recorded in the Lutheran
Ladies League this season, and
brought as much satisfaction to
the rollers, the Trinity No. 2
team, as if they had broken an
all-time mark. It beat out the
1887 of their arch-rivals, lions,
which had stood up for many
weeks.
Last week the same team
rolled 491 to top the record
game of the lions by one pin.
Minnie MenhOrn's 316 was q
prime factor in the achieve
ment, while Miss Miller shot a
1913. Incidentally they white
washed their opponents, Ia
kOma.
You never can tell what is 60
ing to happen. Howard Campbell,
King Pin pilot, realized this truth
last night, when the loWly Rinaldi
Tailors mussed up his high-pow-
cred combination by a two-one
margin in the National Capital
League. Johnny Nicro's 356 was
high for the winners, while Bernie
Frye and Campbell rolled 1862
each. Glenn Wolstenholme's alb
sence had much TO do with the
upset. The King Primers used
their first dummy score of the
year.
Sam Corcoran is determined to
prove himself Georgetown's lead
ing bowler. Last night he banged
out 399 set, with games Of 1876,
1872, and 1872, in the Columbia
Heights League, but his team,
Pioneer Market, bowed twice to
Liondale Shirts. Eddie Espey
starred for the winners with 379,
