NEW YORK, April 1.-THE
Philadelphia Athletics and st.
Louis Cardinals are favored to
win the 1882 baseball champion
ships in the opinion of IS sports
writer's among the newspapers
serviced by international News
Service.
The Philadelphians received a
total of so votes to win the Amer
ican League pennant and the
Yankees "a. With the exception
of Washington, which had one
ballot cast in its favor, no other
team in the league was consid-
cred for first place.
Washington clinched third
place and the Cleveland Indians
we're outstanding choices for
fourth.
The Detroit Tigers gained top
position in the second group, the
Boston Red Sox were placed
sixth, the Chicago White Sox
seventh and the st. Louis Browns
eighth.
The Cardinals held decided
edge over the New York Giants
for favor as National League flag
winners. The st. Louis team ran
up a total Of 46 ballots against
% for the New Yorkers. The
Chicago Cubs took six first place
votes. No other club was given
a vote for top place.
The McGrawmen were ranked
as outstanding choices for the
second berth, with 40 of the
IS ballots cast in their favor.
After a close race, the Cubs
were voted into third place with
27 votes over the Brooklyn
Dodgers, which had "a.
The Pittsburgh Pirates clinched
fifth place. The Boston Braves
were ranked as sixth.
The PhillieS and Cincinnati
Reds ran a neck-and-neck race
for seventh place, the Phillies
winning by a margin Of 4 votes,
thus giving to the Reds the un-
happy honor of habitation in the
cellar.

POJELLO-M GILL
FEATURED

In a semi-final to the top go
featuring Karl Pojello and Pat
McGill, old, belligerent "Bool"
Martin will fail away at rough
Rudy LaditZi, another arch vii
lain who fails to mellow with the
years, at Boiling Field tonight.
Judging by past performances
the "Boor' and Rudy are ideally
matched, both being willing and
aggressive mixers and hardened
to the jeers of the multitude.
For sheer class and competi-
tion the PojelloMcGill clash
stands out. Both are smart, col
orful and experienced, being
rightly ranked among the head
liners of Paul Bowser's trust.
Preliminaries find Sam Cordo-
vano returning against Joe Mas
simo; Bull" Garnon mixing with
Danny Winters, and John Sic
jack opposed to Fred Locke.
Particular interest surrounds
Cordovano, former Georgetown
University footballer, who will be
shooting for his third victory in
row on the Boiling mat.

Two Years Away

Unknown quantities to assist
the three big shots of the
Washington staff are Monte
Weaver, who set the Interna-
tlonal League afire last year,
Carl Fischer and Bob Burke.
The first two seem to be steady
Grade-A prospects with a rare
opportunity of developing, but
they are a couple of years
away from being of substantial
assistance in the matter of add
ing any considerable number of
victories to the right hand side
of the ledger.
Bob Burke has had the bene-
lit OF several seasons in the big
league and has yet to be of
any sustained service to the
Griffmen. Should this happen
to be his year to deliver, the
Washington pitching prospects
would be much brighter than
they appear now. 1t is doubt
full if he will round-to this
season, although it is possible
he will, despite his sore flipper.
AS we intimate above, our
offensive, outside of the pitch
ing, is splendid and our de-
fensive couldn't be improved
upon. With outfield regulars
and substitutes second to none
and an infield fast and steady
although needing more second
string men on the left hand
side, Washington undoubtedly
is one-two-three team, with
accents on two and three.

a NeLU Season Born
It's the Thirty-third
WaShingtOn's Chance

Washington goes into the new
race minus one of the two great
est essentials to a flag-winning
baseball combination.
Washington has NOT the
pitchers to hold back the cali
Der of teams which usually
make strong bids for leader
ship.
But Washington HAS the
hitters. The question, there
fore, is whether its heavy
hitting will offset its indiffer-
ent pitching.

Plays Golf After Inducing Hi
FINDS
GAME HAS
APPEAL
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

He induced his wife to join a
golf club but fell for the game
himself.
That happened to William R.
Stone, member of the Indian
Spring Club who passed fifty-one
years before he knew the differ
ence between par and birdie.
Last June, Stone went out to
the Indian Spring Club and en-
rolled his wife but had no in.
tention of playing himself. Out
of curiosity, he picked up
driver and, fortunately, punched
out good drive.
Appears Next Day
The next day he appeared at
the club wearing golf clothes of
the latest style and possessing a
golf bag, equipped with the most
expensive clubs. He was all pre-
pared to find out something about
this game which he had previously
considered folly.
Since then Stone has never
a playable day, summer or
winter, at Indian Spring. Some
times, he has played 18 holes and
36 holes on others and has grad
ually cut down his score under
the expert handling of George
Diffenbaugh, pro at Indian
Spring. Only a Snowstorm or
heavy rain kept him off the
course. He doesn't mind windy
days.
Twice Under 80
Twice, he has been under 80,
which is notable for a player who
took up the game less than a
year ago and also one of Stones
age when muscles are not as loose
as those of youths.
Up until last year, Stone was
an ardent horseman and never
permitted day to pass without
taking his steed for a gallop over
the Rock Creek Park bride path.
He admitted he felt sluggish after
these rides, but never gave
thought to golf until hitting the
ball off the tee last year.
Gives Up Horse Riding
His riding tack and suit has
grown musty in his home for he
hasn't ridden horse since falling
strong for golf. Stone declares:
81 haven't felt sluggish since
playing golf, and find the
game enjoyable. know its diff
ficult for one my age to mas
ter the game for they tell me
one must perfect a grOOved
swing when muscles are softer
and more pIiabIe. Yet, I intend
to shave several strokes off my
present score"
Funny part of it, Stones wife
doesn't play golf.

On the Go Is Motto
For Jim Busick,
Md. Athlete

Jim Busick, of the Univer.
sity of Maryland, doesn't really
know whether he is track
man or a tennis player. When
the varsity track and net teams
are home on the same day he
high jumps, pole vaults and
plays No. 2 in singles for the
racqueters, and also figures in
the doubles.
There are no conflicts in
the schedules this year, but
Busick will be in acton often
from now until May 25, as
there are six more dual meets
and 10 more tennis matches
carded for the Old Liners.

last year.
Griff is sending Delaney to the
Youngstown club of the Middle
Atlantic League. Mike was eX-
pected to pack his grips and leave
this afternoon to join Joe Cam
bria's club, which is training over
at Baltimore.
Delaney'S release comes on top
of the announcement that Jimmy
Mcleod. Chattanooga infielder
had returned to the Griffmen late
yesterday.
The two transactions help to
solve two interesting questions at
the present time. The first is that
Griff intends keeping Johnny
Boyle and Bud Thomas for a little
while before cutting them adrift,
while the other is that Mcleod
looms as the answer to the utility
infield problem which has both
cred the Griffmen since the start
of the baseball year.
Too Many Infielders
Chattanooga sent Mcleod back
to the Griffs because they found
out they had too many infielders
on hand after the return of
WeS Kingdom from the St. Louis
Browns. Mcleod may be side
tracked for a more seasoned player
by Griff later, but at the present
time he is slated to be that extra
infielder the club proxy has been
looking for all this time.
Mcleod is not new performer
to local fans. The lad was with
the Griffmen several years ago
and was cut loose only because
your Uncle Clark Griffith figured
he would gain more experience
by playing regularly in the minor
leagues than by hanging around
on the Washington bench wait
ing for some veteran to hurt him
self, etc.
Hes still a good ball player"
said Griff this morning. "And
one who might help us a great
deal right at this important
moment. still think he should
play regularly with some minor
league club to get that neces-
sary polish, but while waiting
to place him again, 1 think
we'll keep him for a while, at
least until we feel we must get
somebody better"
In regards to Boyle and
Thomas, the two rookie pitchers,
Griff' feels that they are not
exactly ready for places in the
minor leagues yet. 1t is the club
prexy'S plan to hold on to the
pair for a couple of months in
the idea of teaching them every
thing possible in the way of pitch
ing so that they both will be able
to go at top speed when they are
sent to the minors. which case is
to be their fate.
To Serve Batters
Pitching to the batters in the
daily stick drills before each
game will be the duties of the
pair from now on, says Griff,
Maybe they'll be carried all
