PITCHERS SAY.
BALL LIVE AS
OLD ONE
BY JOE HOLMAN


BILOXI, Miss, Feb. 27.-Wash-
ingtonianS need not be surprised
If they see a new face in the
starting order of the 1881 Griff-
men.
Though unsigned, Jackie Hayes,
crack utility man, is expected to
give Second Sacker Buddy Myer
q rousing scrap for the keystone
assignment once spring training
gets under way. So far Jack has
rejected the salary terms offered
by President Clark Griffith. But
In due time, his team mates be-
lieve, Hayes will compromise with
his boss and prepare himself for
the big shot awaiting him.
Quick On Double Plays
If anything, those in the know
declare, Jacks ability to start and
follow through with double plays
earns him a slight margin over
Myer. Too, his improved batting
argues Smartly for his chances.
For two years these youngsters
have battled tooth and nail for
the midway job. Heretofore
Buddy's superior sock has earned
him the call. Manager Walter
Johnson and President Clark Grit
fifth are among those who readily
concede Hayes an excellent oppor
tunity of landing the regular call.
eff Jackie accepts my salary
offer and gets down to hard
work you'll hear plenty from
him." is Griffith'S way of put
ting il. Hes one of the pref
tieSt fieIders I've ever seen, and
it looks like he's started hitting.
I've made him my top bid,
though. Whether he takes ad-
vantage of his opportunity is up
to him."
johnson, a long time admirer
of Hayes, thinks the Southerner
has arrived. He intimates that
if Jackie lives up to what is
expected of him, Buddy will have
to bat 1925 or better to hold his
job. Myer barely topped 800 last
season. Though a greatly i'm
proved defensive man, he was
perceptibly slow on the pivot and
none too Snappy on dual killings.
The Importance of double
play combination dates back to
1924, when the Peckinpaugh-to-
Harris-to-Judge trio figured most
Importantly in the Washington
clubs pennant and world series
triumphS.
New Ball Condemned
The new baseball now in vogue
has failed to impress Washington
club players. Veteran singers at
tempting a comeback under the
impression that the raised stitches
will give their hooks a better
break, they claim, are doomed
for disappointment.
"LOOkS almost like the same
old ball to me-" Manager John-
son insists. 81 can't see how
it will help the pitcher much"
General Alvin Crowder and Sam
Jones backed him up.
"The balls as live as ever"
CrOwder declared after yeSter-
days workout. Its better made
up generally, but the rabbits
still in it, at least 1 think So"
Following yesterdays workout
under SeaSonable weather condi-
tions, the Washington battery men
today we're prepared to settle
down to some real toll.
Outfielder Sam West, whose in
jured left arm kept him inactive
during the last month of the 1890
campaign, was among those pres
ent. He tossed the ball to his pals
and pronounced his salary wing
sound.
Special attention was paid Cliff
Bolton, the slugging Chattanooga
catcher. Coach Patsy Charity
was appointed to lift high foul
pops to Bolton. The youngster
was notably weak in spearing
these flies year ago.
