MOUNDSMEN
NOT IN TOP
CONDITION
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 5.
Although Pitchers Ad Liska and
Walter Masters did not make
such good impressions when they
performed against the Griffs Sun.
day, their chances of being picked
up have not been dropped en-
tirely.
This is the latest dope handed
out by your Uncle Clark Griffith
today. Griff believes that both
men are better pitchers than they
showed Sunday and declares that
they will be brought to Washing
ton if their later performances
warrant.
Neither LiSka nor Masters
are in their best condition."
says Griff, "but a month or so
under Chattanooga's hot sun
should bring 'em around, 1 be-
lieve. Then, if We need them
well grab one or the other,
maybe both. In regards to
LiSka'S arm, it's all right from
his actions on the mound, but
the youngsters physical condi-
tiOn is not good just yet"
So much for Liska and Masters.
The Griffs are in this town
for the next two days to engage
the Knoxville Smokeys, new
entrants in the Southern Associa-
ton. Lefty Lloyd Brown was
down to pitch for Manager
Walter Johnson this afternoon
with Big Fred Marberry in line
to get the call tomorrow.
Home Thursday
The Griffs will be home Thurs
day for their initial appearance
of the year with the Boston
Braves as their foes in a game
at Griffith Stadium. Friday
Baltimore will be visited for
tusSle with the Orioles, while
Saturday the final contest of the
grapefruit series with the MaiSel-
managed club will be played at
Griffith Stadium. To complete a
summary of the Griffs exhibition
schedule for the spring, the
Buffalo Bisons are to be the
opponents Sunday in the first
Sabbath contest of any sort this
year at Griffith Stadium.
Manager Johnson is greatly
encouraged over the way his gang
has been hitting the past few
days, by the way. Eighteen hits
Sunday against the LookoutS was
indeed pleasing to watch while
yesterdays continued exhibition
was not the most boring in the
world.
Particularly is johnson inter-
ested in the manner in which
his supposed punch. Carl Reyn-
olds, has been hitting the ball
of late. The big outfielder has
come slowly all spring, hardly
impressing at any turn. But the
past week or so has seen him
travel at fast clip, his hits being
not only of the consistent variety
but of the "punchy' kind as we'll.
Strong HitterS
Naturally, johnson hopes these
latest hitting signs of Reynolds
and the remainder of the team
are indications of what his team
will do. once the regular season
opens. It certainly will bring out
a most general thought at any
rate-that the Griffs promise to
be the strongest hitting combina"
ton ever assembled in the last
three or four years.
The sending of Joe Cronin to
Washington by johnson yester.
day is more of a precautionary
measure than because of any ill.
ness for Joe. Johnson wants to
have his "big punch" in absolute
readiness by the time the gong
rings opening day. Thus, the
reason Cronin is being given the

Wrestling is one sport they
can't touch, particularly in the
form it is being conducted to-
day. In the old days when
the best two falls out of three
ruled the game, there was
some wagering as to whether
an opponent would get one
or two falls or no falls at all,
but in the one-fall game, the
gamblers, who are always look

another big stranger appeared very
early in the spring. He was big fell
low, just wee bit bigger than Red
tail the Hawk, and wore handsome
white waistcoat and his head was
largely white. Altogether, he was a
fine looking fellow. But he was a
member of the Hawk family. There
could be no doubt about it this time.
One good look at his hooked bill and
great clawsNwas enough to settle that
question in the minds of all who saw
him. So there was no welcome for
him when he first arrived at the Green
Forest. He wasn't wanted there.
"Just as if we honest people haven't
enough worries as it is" grumbled
Peter as he watched the stranger fly
ing toward the Big River. 81 suppose
now we'll have to keep our eyes open
for him as we'll as for Redtail and old
Whitehall"
Danny Meadow Mouse quite agreed
with Peter. So did all the birds.
Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote felt
much the same way toward the stran-
ger, only for a very different reason.
"That fellow will make our hunting
all the harder" grumbled Reddy to
Granny as they watched the stranger.
"The more there are to hunt, the hard
er the hunting. Somebody ought to
send him back where he came from"
Granny was watching the stranger
sharply, and pretty soon she caught

BuZZard was regarded when first he

the little people of the Green Mead
ows and the Green Forest, around the
Smiling Pool, and along the Laughing
Brook shivered with fear every time
they looked up and saw him sailing in
circles high up in the blue, blue sky.
Why did they shiver with fear? Be
cause they mistook him for member
of the Hawk family. Yes, sir, that is
what they did All summer long they
had to be everlastingly on the watch

Whitehall the Marshhawk. All winter

AFTERNOON TEAS

THE cool afternoons in late winter
l. and early spring offer splendid OPP
portunities for afternoon teas and "at
homes.' Nothing could be more at
tractive than -four feet on fender"
with cup of tea to drown all cares.
One of the nice things about an
afternoon tea, is that everything but
the tea may be prepared beforehand.
There is no hurried, worried hostess
when entertaining in simple manner
There is no burned roast or roasted
hostess to detract from the pleasure
of enjoying ones friends.

sandwiches, to meet all tastes Max
ing them in different shapes and the
color combinations always appeal to
the eye.
Here are two suggestions for sand
witches:
open-Faced Sardine Sandwiches.
Drain twelve medium-siZed sardines,
remove skin, tails and bones. Pound
to paste with two tablespoonfuls of
lemon juice. Cream two tablespoon
fuls of butter, add one teaspoonful of
minced parsley, salt, pepper and
cayenne to taste. Add to the sardine
mixture and spread on thin spices of
rye bread. Mix three hard-cooked egg
yolks with little mayonnaise and
make a border around the edge of
each sandwich. A slice of stuffed
olive in the center of each makes an
attractive touch.

ALWAYS
CHOOSING
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

A LWAYS pushing good aside,
- To take some poorer thing,
Passing something true and tried,
To something else to cling.
Always losing happiness,
Some poorer thing to hold,
Trading something hearts possess
For something that is sold.
Always man must make his choice,
And often chooses Ill,
For it seems the still small voice
Is altogether STILL
Always thinking nights Of JOY
More good than days of bliss.
Treasures squandered by the boy
An aged man will miss.
Always like marketplace,
Life displays its wares;
Some will pass the things of grace
And buy themselves the cares.
Always ours the chance each day
TO keep our joy, or sell.
Since it is forever, may
We wisely choose and well.

IF you have a hammock in the
l. shade. or a comfortable porch
swing with a table for cooling bev-
erages beside it, you might as well
fortify yourself for the hot weather
by laying in few detective stories.
Somehow, they seem to go with
hammocks and porch swings.
One that you might like is "a
Dagger in the Dark" by Walter F..
Eberhardt Morrow: so. Here we
have murder, assorted theftS, and
an abduction or two, all linked up
with New York underworld gang
and all solved by private detec-
tive; and the odd part about it is
that the whole business is far more
realistic than thrillers of this kind
usually are.
The detective is hard-boiled, pro-
fame and rather INSCRIPTIONS and
the gangsters are true to life.
The action is fast, the puzzle is
properly puzzling, and all in all it's
very passable mystery yarn.

the house gets snowbound, and the
host is poisoned, and people begin

This one is not nearly as good as
the same authors earlier mystery,
