IT'S true AID has won a
couple of games down at Chat
tanOOga since the start of the
Southern Associations season,
but, regardless, don't think
we'll bother about bringing him
back here, as Pm convinced
he's not the big league pitcher
we once thought he was. He
may go great this year, but
where he is the pitching does
not have to be up to the stand
ard required in the majors.
Thus our thoughts that he
would not go so well up here,
even though his arm might
have responded to all the treat
mentS given it this spring."
In regards to Walter Masters,
the other hurler Griff had his
eyes on when Manager Johnson's
men stopped off at Chattanooga
about three weeks ago, there's
little possibility of his sojourn
back here because of his neceS-
Sity for more seasoning.
"They haven't used Masters
as yet" said Griff in reviewing
his case. Even though they
haven't, I think he needs an
other year or so in the minors
before becoming real major
league pitcher. Yes, we're go
ing to keep an eye on him, as
he's a better prospect than
Liska."
Such is the latest dope on the
cases of Liska and Masters, the
two Chattanooga pitchers who
would become big leaguers. From
the looks of things only Masters
will be seen in a Griff uniform
in the future and when-only
Griff can and will decide.
The Boston Red SoX hung a
1-to-0 reverse on the Griffmen
yesterday in their first win over
Manager JohnSon'S men for the
season. The Griffs collected 10
hits off Jack Russell but could
not dent the plate at any time
because Russell was so very tight
in the pincheS. Only in the
ninth did the Beantown hurler
look as if he might falter COM
pletely. and Shane Collins, man
ager of the Sox, quickly with

the lone batter to face him.
Tough for CrOwder
General Alvin Crowder pitched
a game that would have been
won nine times out of 10 with
the right sort of support at bat
from his mates. But it was not
there, with the result Crowder
found himself with his second

An Expensive Sport

Within the last three weeks
another well-known owner of
horseflesh instructed his trainer
to sell all of his stock, it being
none other than j. E. Davis,
who has been quartering his
animals at Benning and who
has long been a figure in the
horse racing industry.
Most racing fans are unfa-
miliar with facts concerning the
small number of stables which
really declare profit from
year to year in their racing &C
tivitieS. Would it surprise you
to know that the Greentree
Stable, Of which Mrs. Payne
Whitney is the head, loses
money every year. despite the
presence in the string of such
a money winner as Twenty
Grand?

ney's great stable, which won
over $500, 900 in purses during
1881, just about broke even On
the year, according to Freddy
Hopkins. who is in charge Of
the Benning detachment OF
Sonny's string.
If these outstanding stables
can't do any better than break
even, what do you suppose
happens to the little owners
who have to worry about where
every bag of oats IS coming
from?

veteran in the seventh brought
Big Fred Marberry to the mound
in the eight to finish out the
game. Marberry retired the Sox
without run in the two innings
he pitched.
The Sox counted the run which
proved to be the winning of the
game in the first part of the
seventh when Oliver doubled and
McManus singled after two were
out. All told the SoX gathered
five hits.
The Griffs had several chances
to score but could not because
the needed bingle was not there
in the pinch. The fourth, seventh,
eighth and ninth presented these
opportunities. Of the 10 hits
collected off Russell two were
gotten by Manush, two by West,
and two by Sam Rice.

Jack Dunn's Last Find

"Jack Dunn's last find. =
that's what they're calling
Monte Weaver. following his
fine showing this spring. and
the erudite pitching recruit OF
the Griffs seems destined to
carry on the success that has
attended a long line of Baltl-
more graduates, picked up and
trained by the late leader OF
the Orioles.
His skillful showing on the
mound for the Griffs during
the training season has made
him one of the outstanding
pitchers on Walter Johnson's
staff. Monte is one major
league recruit who is positive
he will not go back to the
minors, for he has declared
that rather than do that, he
will quit the game and return
to his vocation of teaching
mathematics.
Weaver is a rare specimen
among ball players, with his
notable academic background.
In his case, Oxford Uniyersity's
loss is basebal's gain, for he
was headed for a Rhodes
scholarship in 1928 as a result
of his outstanding scholastic
success at Emory and Henry
College and the University of
Virginia until he cast his lot
with baseball and now applies
his mathematical training to
studying improvement in his
pitching, especially the per
lection of his curves.
The Washington times., 1932-04-22
May Again Teach

The only reason Monte entered
professional ball, he frankly
admits. was for the financial
rewards it promised and when
those rewards are no longer
likely, he intends to return
to teaching.
The Washington recruit was
discovered by Dunn when Monte
was pitching for Durham in
the Piedmont League in 1928.
but the Oriole boss didn't live
to see his protege develop into
big league material. Weaver
was sent back to Durham tor
1929 and returned to Balti-
more in the fall.
A botherSome appendix handi-
capped Monte in 1880 and he
won only four out of ten YER
diets, but he had the appendix
removed in the off-season and
last year came back to win ID
and lose seven with a team
that tossed away many of his
games by errors. So far this
spring he has shown the Wash
ington fans that he is of major
league caliber.

Paddock Notes

HAVRE DE GRACE, April %
Fred j. Hughes. Of Poolesville,
Md, whose English Knight, bay
son of Bright Knight and Ash
toreth is a nominee for the Ken
lucky Derby informed the writer
today that he had wagered $500
in the Future Book" on his colt
at 100 to l: but the money was
returned to him.
English Knight was a starter
in the Calvert, today's six turlong
feature, and permission was Sc
cured from the stewards to work
him to the mile pole. This was
done by Owner Hughes in an
effort to see just what his three
year-old possesses.
If English Knight works his
mile satisfactorily today he will
be sent over a distance of ground
in competition next week, and
then shipped out to Louisville
for a try at the mile and one
quarter race on May 7.

Army and Navy Course Par Test For Golfers
SERVICE PLAY.

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
A different type of army will
soon take possession of the Army
and Navy Country Club course
wherein Civil War combatants
waged bitter battle.
1t will be a pillaging band Of
golfers searching for the elusive
par that has defied the assaults
of all but two. Par of u for the
service layout has been eclipSed
but once, Arthur Thorn, Wood
mont Club pro, going around in
SO two years ago. Only one other
golfer, an amateur, C. A. Meals,
jr., son of Colonel Meals, has
toured the layout in par figures.
The course, opened four years
ago, covers historic ground, FAM
Gus in Civil War pages, and oc-
casionally a golfer comes upon
an unexploded bullet that times
rust has deadened.
Course In TiptOO Shape
The course, notable for the alb
sence of a single artificial trap,
is in tiptop shape. The green's,
closed for the past six weeks,
were re-opened this week.
The Army and Navy Country
Club invitation tourney, the first
in the short career of the organi-
cation, gets under way May 3
with the first days qualifying.
The course will be open to en-
trants for practice on May 2. En-
tries are to close Sunday night
at 6 p. m. with the golf commit
tee at the -lub.
The new golf committee in
cludes Lieut.. Col. r. M. Danford,
chairman: Major L. H. Hedrick,
Lieut.. Comdr. R. T. McIntire,
Major H. K. Pickett, and Lieut..
Comdr. M. L. Rawlings.
Fielder Scores
Lionel Walker, club pro. at
tends to the duties of keeping
the course in shape since Major
R. D. Newman has been trans
ferred elsewhere.
Capt. K. j. Fielder, U. S. A.,
member of the club, served notice
he will be heard from in the invi-
tation tourney when he fashioned
dazzling rs over the service
course. He was playing with
J. William Harvey, jr., golf chair
man Of Indian Spring, and Tom
Belshe, one of the leading players
in the Indian Spring Club.
There are $50 resident MEM
bers in the club and the number
is steadily growing, so much so
that the officials are planning to
add another day where it will
be necessary to obtain a starting
time in advance.
At present. starting times are
ordered for Thursdays, Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays, while
Wednesdays may be added to
this list.

WORK
MUST COME
At BAT .
By GARRETT WATERS

They claim it's pitching that
wins ball games. With the Griff-
men to date they've been for
tunate enough to have gotten the
light sort, as their encouraging
standing in the race will tell.
But this important fact hovetS
into the order of things when q
look is taken toward the future.
They must continue to get the
right sort" if they expect to
weather the huge task before
them in defeating or matching
the AS and Yanks in victories be-
fore the first annual invasion Of
the leagues Western clubs. $500
So far this season, General
Alvin Crowder, Professor Monte
Weaver, Lefty Lloyd Brown and
Bobby Burke have won games for
Manager Walter Johnson. Carl
Fischer, Fred Marberry and Frank
Ragland have appeared in the
other contests, but have yet to
turn in triumphS because they
either have not finished games as
starters or have been worked as
relief men.
Reversals! No!
At the present rate all of
Manager Johnson'S FINGERS should
register on the mound in the
games to come. That is, unless
sudden reversals of form bob up.
But, of course, Manager Johnson,
not to mention everybody else, is
hoping that such will not bob
up, particularly with the AS and
Yanks just managing to break
even in their meetings at the
present time.
One other important item will
make or mar the Griffs in these
early contests besides the success
or failure of good pitching.
That's the hitting of the club
which has been both excellent and
bad to date. The team can't win
just by good pitching, it must
have hitting, too, and Manager
Johnson is also pinning hopes
that his men will find them
selves at bat soon in order that
the pitchers will be backed up
in the right manner when they
turn in such splendid efforts on
the mound.
There will be no game today
as the schedule makers have
made it an off-day. Tomorrow,
however. hostilities will be re-
sumed with the Boston Red Sox
which will conclude this particu-
lar series.
Manager Johnson has decided
upon Carl Fischer as his hurler
for tomorrow with Monte Weaver
as his selection to face the AS
Sunday, who will appear for a
single game.
Fischer in Trim
Fischer, johnson says, earned
himself the right to become a
starter by his work against the
AS last Monday when the Griffs
won so handily, Is to T.. The
young lefthander, for a fact,
seems in better trim than at any
time in 1881 and coupled with
the fact that he holds an as
founding belief in himself.
argurS we'll for his success not
only tomorrow but many more
times this season. Carl won -
games and lost 9 last year.
The Griffs may be idle as far
as a game is concerned today,
but not in downright action, as
practice session IS on tap this
morning. The drill will consist.
of batting mostly, as Manager
Johnson is anxious to bring. out
the punch the team really pos.
seSses. Maybe these sessions,
which are on tap for several days
ahead. may develop that punch
yet. Time will tell.
