PILOT BANKS
HEAVILY
ON THEM
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent


BILOXI, Miss, March 26.-To-
day and tomorrow will be an in
tereSting period for the official
heads of the Griffmen. For the
reason that Pitchers Lefty Lloyd
Brown and big Fred Marberry
have been assigned their first
starting roles on the mound for
the spring season.
Whatever this pair demonstrates
will be Vitally interesting to Bosses
Clark Griffith and Walter John
son, because on the shoulders Of
these hurlerS along with Gen.
Alvin CroWder, hinge success or
failure for the team during the
coming campaign.
Brown is to engage in his initial
test in todays game against the
Baltimore Orioles at the Biloxi
Stadium. Marberry is to get his
first action of the season in to-
morrow'S contest with the same
Orioles over at Gulfport.
Hoped for Best
Both Griff and Johnson have
kept their heads up and smiled
during the recent ailing days of
Marberry and Brown. But down
deep in their hearts they have
hoped that the two hurlerS would
come around" all right and that
their ailments would not throw
them back too much in their
training.
A pretty good idea of the con-
dltlon Of both Lefty Lloyd and
Big Fred will be cleaned today
and tomorrow. May they be
"oke' for the sake of the teams
chances this year, not to men,
ton for the sake of Griff and
JohnSons feelings.
Bobby Burke and Carl Fisher
will help Brown out with the
mound duties in todav's contest
against the Orioles. Frank Rag
land and Bob Friedrich may get
Johnson's nod to finish where
Marberry has left off tomorrow.
Burke is still complaining of
the soreness in his arm, but Man
ager Johnson is of the opinion
that the slim left-hander can best
work it out by hurting one or two
innings in regular game. Out
side of his sore arm, Burke is IN
splendid condition.

the way. Naturally he's noticed
the weak hitting of Carl Reyn-
olds, Joe Kuhel and OsSie Bluege,
but feels that all three of these
players will get their eyes on the
ball in another wee or so.
Reynolds Hitting

hitting much better in the asst

at the sphere having gone
straight into some fielder's glove
or skinned along the ground
right into somebody's hands. The
big fellow is taking his time in
order to be in the right feJtle

Roy Spencer has finally
recovered from his alleged attack
of malaria. The veteran catcher
is jumping around as of old now,
taking part in both the batting
and infield drills daily.
Rookie pitchers will get the call
on the mound as the Griff

Blonde herself went through
it all with an acquired grace.

of uncertainty about Blonde

Without so much as saying
hello, the neWcomer-an animal
weighing between four and five
tons and standing about 9 feet

tacking, the boss elephant
charged the interloper and
butted him clear of the female.
And then the fight began. >.
What made Lal sick was his
knowing that for years I had
hoped to come upon such a
scrap, by far the most epic
of all jungle hostilities. Here,
by good fortune, the stage was
set, and I was late.
The day of my arrival Lal
told me the story of that ele-
phant fight once, twice, three
times. Then he told it to me
all over again. This was two
days after the great duel of
tusks was over and the thing
was still fresh in his mind.
I had never known the boy
to be so talkative. Nothing in
the past and we had been
through some thrilling expert
ences together-had ever loos-
ened his tongue to such an ex-
tent. He strained his English
vocabulary to its limits, and,
when he had taxed it until it
could serve him no longer, he
sprinkled his narrative with
picturesque phrases in his ma
tive tongue.
A Mad Tussle
Lal had induced the bamboo
cutter to guide him to within a
fair distance of the struggle.
The boy, with his keen knowl-
edge of animals, knew that he
must approach from up-Wind
so that his scent would not be
carried the combatants. AS
he worked his way toward the
scene Of the fight it was easy
for him to tell that the tussle
had been going on for some
time; for the brush had been
trampled down and mashed
into the ground over an area
of several hundred square
yards. Great branches of
eight-inch bamboo had been
snapped off like match-Sticks.
Trees had been uprooted and
pounded into the earth.
Lal, as soon as he caught
sight Of the combatants, looked
around for an unobtrusive roost
that would afford a good view Of
the struggle. He selected a tree
on rise in the ground. From
this elevation he could see
everything. Only if the pachy-
derm gladiators forsook their
battle-ground and disappeared

into the jungle would they be
lost to view.
AS LaI took up his perch in
the tree the fighting elephants,
forehead to forehead, were
struggling for advantage. Neither
had yet inflicted a serious in
jury on the other. Each was
bleeding from superficial wounds
but both seemed to regard these
as flea-bites.
This first look, Lal said, was
unimpressive. The animals ap-
peared to be Stalling. Barra
Sahib-the boys name for the
older animal-seemed to be per-
fectly confident of the outcome
and almost seemed to be rest
ing. CBarra Sahib means the
big boss" usually applied in
India to the head Of a firm
or governmentD The inter-
loper, whom he designated as
Do (meaning No. q, apparently
had not given the old herd
leader much to worry apouC.
Females Not Interested
What amused Lal at the out
set was that the females scat
tered about in the nearby
brush, grazing, seemed to take
little or no interest in the
fight. Complacently they lum-
bered about on the fringe OF
the battle-ground, munching the
various greens-leaVes OF trees
shrubs of all kinds, bamboo
and other jungle daintieS-that
they encountered as they NOV
ed back and forth. Only now
and then did they look up to
see what was going on. Either
they were accustomed to the
sight of their sovereign dispos-
ing of an impertinent preten-
der or they didn't care who
won, confident that regardless
of the outcome they would have
a leader and their physical
needs would be miniStered to.
After all, that and food was
all that mattered in the life
of an elephant.
After few minutes Of this
stalling, Do backed away about
Is feet and made a charge at
his old adversary, futilely try
ing to sidesWipe him with his
seven-foot tuSks. Barra Sahib's
tuskS were perhaps a little
longer, and heavier at the base,
he being the older animal.
(Which is a good time to
point out that the tuskS of a
full-grown elephant constitute
the most terrible weapon the
jungle knows. The layman has
no idea of the potentialities of
these weapons, for circus ele-
plants are the paChyderms he
is mainly familiar with, and
these are practically all fe-
males, with no tusks at all, or
very small ones. Occasionally
one sees a bull elephant in the
performing ring, but without
exception it is an animal
whose tusks have been sawed
off,
Barra Sahib easily evaded
the attempted sideswipe. The
result was a head-on collision
that left the animals, forehead
to forehead, as they were be-
fore.

Century-Old Drapes Remoped
 From Venus of tue Vatican'

VATICAN CITY, Sept. 28,-The Venus of the Vatican has lost the bronze skirt she wore for 125 years
 The famous statue, nearly 1000 years old, now stands fully re- vealed to visitors.
 The marble life-size figure is known as the Gnidian Venus, an early Roman copy of a work by the immortal Greek sculptor Prax- iteles.
 s When it was brought to the Vati- can galleries more than century ago the then Pope commissioned the Danish sculptor, Albert Thor waldsen, to mould bronze draperies to covar the. lower half of the statue, down to the feet.
 From then until a few days ago the masterpiece occupied one of the most prominent points in the Vatican galeries-at the head of the steps near the entrance to the Etruscan Museum. This position was similar to that assigned to the Venus di Milo in the Louvre Mu- scum at Paris.
 Here millions of tourists have viewed the goddess of love most nodestly garbed. Many of them, however. puzzled over what seemed , garment of painted tin.
 Artists and sculptors for genera
 .ons have complained bitt erly against the bronze clothing. Finally their pleas were successful. Noth- ng was said about it, but one day recently the skirt was taken away.
 But, her skirt gone, the beauti- tul goddess lost her prominent posi- jon. She now presides over small room called the Cabinet of the Masks. because of mosaic taken rom Hadrian's Villa, depicting Greek masks and fitted into the center of the floor.

 Grimes To Secue
 Burleigh Grimes, hero of the Cardinal Athletics series of 1881, was rushed to the mound to re- place Bush. He forced Ruffing to ground to short and Koenis threw out Dickey at the plate. Combs nicked Grimes for a single to center, scoring Chapman and Crosetti, and sending Ruffing to third. Sewell grounded between first and second, forcing Combs at second to end the inning.
 The Tanks chalked up three more runs in the seventh. Ruth drew a pass to first Gehrig sin gled to left center, Ruth racing to third and Gehrig went to sec- ond on the throw to third. Laz- zeri's slow roller to second went for an infield out, Ruth scoring and Gehrig taking third. Dickey was hit by a pitched ball, filling the bases.
 Chapman flied out to Moore in center, Gehrig scoring, but Lazzerl was held at second. Crossetti rolled one to the mount and was safe when Chapman beat Grimes throw to second. A wild pitch scor- ed Lazzeri but Crossetti was caught at third by Hartnett's throw t. that bag. The last Tank tally came in the eighth.
