the open forum in the afternoon at 3etaoin Shr
the open forum at pm. But with the launch
ing of the national recruiting drive the Dis
trict Buro took steps to change the forum and
have the class in the afternoon This drew prac-
tically 100 per cent attendance of the white COM
rades to the class. BY this method our Party
units were able to bring some of the young
workers to the. class. And in less than two
weeks the Y.CL had its first shop unit in the
District which will issue the first YCL shop
paper by Feb l.
With these two units working day and night
IN the village, we have had several letters from
workers for the shop paper which contained news
directly from the workers in the shop After the
distribution of the January issue the workers
openly announced that had 1t not been for the
shop paper they would have had another wage
cut this month.
Here l will add challange handed in today
by one of the unit members, after a lengthy
discussion in the unit on the recruiting drive:

Park Improvements

Meanwhile, on the Washing
ton end, Secretary Eddie Eynon
is doing much to complete the
domestic baseball plant for a
successful opening and enjoy
able season generally, with n
particular outlook to the COM
fort and convenience of the
cash customers.
Since the football season
closed, entire reSodding has
been effected from first to third
base and the mild winter has
done much to bring this new
surface to a brilliant green.
The section in front of the
grandstand formerly covered
with cinders, has been con-
creted-oh, it's been a wonder
full winter for cement work!
Then the Scraped part Of
the infield has been treated

any lefthander in baseball. Year
after year, and last season as
a distinct example, he pitched
his head off only to lose games
because his mates could not de-
velop that punch behind him
for victorious runs.
At that, Lloyd was able to
turn in one more game than ne
lost during 1881. which can be
put down as not such a bad per.
formance considering the fact
that he hit q terrible slump dur,
ing the months of June and
July.
Brownie, whose actual record
last year was Is games won
against IA lost, sees a better
record for himself this season
If his spirit and willingness
means anything at all he'll &C
complish his aims as that trusty
left arm of his can truly pitch
with the right sort Of support
behind him.
Brown is still young man
according to the records. Only
26 years of age he has many a
season before him to become one
of the greatest left-handers IN
baseball.
Although weighing but 1855
pounds, the left-hander Is the
rugged type of ball player for his
slight poundage. An excellent
doctor" when it comes to taking
care Of himself, Brownie seldom
has been known to all in his
career. This in itself, is good
reason why he should enjoy
many. a baseball season in the
years to come.
First to Report
Brownie was the first to report
here, by the way. And when he
met Griff for the first time this
year about three weeks ago, Griff
marveled at the splendid condi-
ton of his prize left-hander.
How'd you do it Brownie?
was Griff's question.
"Oh, just a lot of golf, fishing
and other forms of exercise was
Brownies answer.
May the veterans splendid con-
dition stand him in good stead
after the season opens. For in
his arm, along with those of
Marberry's and Crowder's, hangs
a certain fate of the Griffmen
this year.

Planned For
Babe Signing

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
>2.-St. Petersburg plans to make
the formal signing of Babe Ruth's
1882 contract with the New York
Yankees something in the nature
Of a civic event.
John Lodwick, director of pub
lie relations for the sunshine city,
has written to Colonel Jacob Rup-
pert asking that the signing of
the papers be done in public. Ten
tative arrangements have been
made with the sound picture COM
panies to record the great event
for posterity. The signing may
also be broadcast.
For a. man whose job at a
kings ransom per annum is in
the balance, the Bambino is in a
highly elated mood this morning.
He is thinking more of the fact
that his home-run swing seems to
be grooved early this year than
anything else.
Since reporting for steady work
on Monday the Babe has bombed
the Australian pine woods at the
fringe of the field with terrific
wallops. He is hitting with less
effort than in other years. His
form suggests rippling power;
power that is sent crashing home
to you with the boom of the
bat on the ball. Says Ruth:
"ThiS will be a great year.

Judge in Picture

The fact that Judge is sched-
uled to leave here Saturday
rather finally and, in so far as
thousands of WaShingtonianS
are concerned, satisfactorily an
swers the question as to his
immediate future.
Just as Clark Griffith said last
fall, Judge is to be with Wash
ington again unless soma ex-
tremely attractive offer comes
along which would be not only
to the advantage of the club,
but to Judge as well. Judge
could have been disposed of
many times during the winter
to clubs which promised him no
more than chance to sit on
the bench.
Briefly, if Judge warns any
bench, it will be Washington's.
And there is not positive he
won't be in there covering the
initial sack. Certainly, he lends
a lot of color and speed and
intelligence and pep to that in

things being equal, there's no

club finished disappointed sew

Rabbit" Maranville, veteran
shortstop, is the only one of last
years infielders likely to be seen
in there when the gong rings. Nc
Kechnie outlined his 1882 infield
as follows:
Confidence in Shires
81 have the utmost confidence
in Art ShireS, so much so he is
the only first baSeman I'm carry
ing. Bill ,AkerS, drafted from
Kansas City, is almost as good a
fielder as Mcclure, but he viii
hit much harder. rabbit"
...aranville, of course, can lay
second or short and don't
know just which place / will use
him. / hope Bill UrbanSki, pur-
chased from Montreal for $780,
900, will prove fine shOrtStOp.
.WiIfred KnOthe, whom we
bought from Seattle, should do
at third. He hit. .317 last sea-
son and was considered the best
third baSeman on the Pacific
coast"
The veteran AL Spohrer and
Bill Hargrave, brother of "Bub.
bles" Hargrave, will do the catch
ing with John Benson as third
string backstop.
Starting Pitchers
McKechnie'S starting pitchers
will be Seibold, Zachary, Brandt,
Cantwell, Farmhouse and pos
Sibly Sherdel. The pitching staff
held up we'll last year and has
been improved by the addition
of Walter Belts, drafted from st.
Paul, where he won % and lost
13 in 1881.
The outfield will be comprised
of Schulmerich in right, Berger
in center and Worthington in
left. Oscar Eckhardt and E~rl
Clark are good outfield reserves.

year." continues McKechnie. II
figure we are stronger at first
base and third base and that
our Outfield will be better be-
cause Schulmerich and Worth
ingtOn will have had a year
more experience. l regard Ber-
ger as a man who is destined
to class with the star center
fielderS of baseball"
MCKechnie was not satisfied
with the .258 batting average the
Braves registered in 1881. He
thinks the club should hit .290.
The team received excellent pitch
ing last year. but the hitters fell
down. He would not predict
where his club will finish, but
looks for an improvement.

DUST
ATHLETIC
POLICIES
BY HARRY COSTELLO
Georgetown Backfield Star
191O-1S)

Great changes are daily TAX
ing place in the vast institution
known as the intercollegiate ath-
letic establishment.
Elimination of the athletic
scholarship in New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and the District of Co.
lumbia, by direct order of a
strictly academic body, the Mid
die States Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools, has been
followed by several highly Signif-
icant orders issued from the Of
fices of college and university
presidents and boards of trustees.
Such significant orders are un-
usual in more ways than one.
w. and US New Policy
Only recently, DR.. Ralph C.
Hutchinson, president of Wash
ington and jefferson College,
publicly outlined a new athletic
policy for that institution, label
ing the new policy one designed
to eliminate SubSidization of ath-
leticS and loose financial opera.
tion."
No less than eight of the new
plans offered by academic Of
ficers, not athletic officials, call
for return of responsible control
Of intercollegiate athletics to
boards of trustees, which means
reShaping Of athletic policies at
these institutions. Reduction of
the power of athletic coaches and
officers, and in some cases elimi
nation of that power, are ordered.
Evils of the Past
In every case where a college
or university president started
action pertaining to intercollegi-
ate sport, the prexy spoke
frankly of evils of the past" In
other words, the plea was
Guilty."
Several colleges and universi-
ties have decided to abolish the
office of graduate manager.
Some have ruled that the foot
ball coach will not be permitted
to act as instructor for other
sports.
Others have announced that
"intramural athletics will be ac-
lively encouraged with winners
meeting intramural victors Of
other colleges and universities.
High-POwered Methods
This last announcement is most
significant to students of inter.
collegiate competition. BY many
it is said to be the beginning
of the end for high-powered meth
ods of intercollegiate sport"
Some go so far as to express the
belief that the announcement
means the elimination of inter
collegiate sport and the subSitu-
ton therefor of intramural sport.
1t appears too early to form a
definite opinion of what all
these PROFESSIONAL activities mean.
The main point is that boards of
trustees, college and university
academic officers and faculty
members are accepting much
more responsibility for intercol-
legiate athletics than ever be-
fore.

DAYS
AHEAD Of
By GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent


BILOXI, Miss, March 2.
Strange things are happening in
the Griffs' training camp this
season.
Reference is made to the num-
ber of veterans pouring in daily
before they're supposed to. Sell
dom have athletes under Clark
Griffith's wing been so anxious
to report before they are due,
March 6.
The situation is hard to dope.
Most athletes playing big league
ball hate to have to report at all
in the spring-so tedious is the
training grind to them.
1t seems that a good spirit
hovers over the Griffmen this
year, particularly with the
veterans.
Reynolds First
Carl Reynolds was the first to
ask Griff if he might report be-
fore time. Buddy Myer, regular
second sacker, was next, and now
Sam Rice. In fact Sam popped
in last night with Mrs. Rice, look
ing great and ready and rarin'
to get out on the diamond, even
though a bench-warming post
looms as a steady diet this year.
Sam West, Heinie ManuSh, Joe
Cronin, Joe Kuhel, Dave Harris
and Johnnie Kerr, the latter the
utility infielder, are others who
have asked Griff if they might
report carly.
This situation points out the
splendid spirit of cooperation
prevalent among the Griffmen
this year. AS Manager johnson
said following yesterdays practice
session. it's almost too good to be
true to find collection of ath-
letes so willing and anxious to
work.
Hope It Continues
1t is hoped that this desire
for work continues. It will help
greatly toward winning a pen
nant.
Rice is to take his first work
out today. Of course, he's down
here for lots of golf, but that
will come in the afternoons when
there's plenty of time on hand.
Sammy, always an expert in keep
ing in condition, is the picture
of health. He is ready right
now to take anyone's place at a
notice in what looms
as the greatest outfield a Wash
ington club has known in five
years.
The Washington times., 1932-03-02

On this same train ne VIII
find Joe Judge, who will have
departed directly from Wash
ington. From other points of
the compass the remainder of
the regulars and veterans will
have converged on B'luxi by

der full swing for Washington.
