MOJAVE, Aug. "a (SpeciaD
The old desert-the more
you see of it the more you
can understand folks really
loving it. It's a great health
giver to many a disabled soul.
It's just like a lot of folks. 1t
never had a chance. The min
ute you give 1t any water it
grows more stuff than all
your fertile land.
These old boys sitting away
out here-it don't look like
they have to worry whether
Mr.. Hoover's letter to the drys
will keep them in line or Mr..
Roosevelt's retaining Walker
will help hold Tammany in
tow. Their living has got to
come from a we'll and a pump
and not from any political pat
ronage, so these fellows escape
all that political "hooey" that
hits us every four years. Yes,
sir, when we retire from active
life its the senate or the des-
ert, and, by golly, 1 believe I
will go to the desert.

dent Niceto Alcsla zamora is eX-
pected to sign a decree of clemency
today committing the death SEN
tence of General Jose San Jurjo to
life Imprisonment, the United Press
learned. A majority of members
of the cabinet are said to favor
clemency.
Government leaders received
hundreds of kilograms. asking Gle
mency be extended to the general.
A formal petition for communication
was delivered to the council of
ministers by the French ambassa-
dor. He pleaded the condemned
man had distinguished himself in
cooperating with French troops
during the Moroccan campaign.
During his trial General San
Jurjo had remarked blandly: II
have been in worse situations"
Opposition to the execution was
expected mainly from a group OF
republicans and socialists opposed
to capital punishment.
Police and military officials had
taken such ample precautions,
however, that no demonstrations
of any great consequence were ex-
pected during the day.
Madrid was restless throughout
the night, crowds circulating in
the streets and gathering at al
most every corner.

by his own attorney.

Sunday they were all set to

the weather refused to warm up

To Play Today
An attempt will be made to
play the game today, if the
weather will only decide to loosen
up and give the boys a chance.
The usual routine was on pro-
gram for yesterday. A run around

lowed by a warm-up period for
the pitchers, ending with the
two high lights of the day-bat'

URGE MEX|CANS
FOR OLYMPIC

MEXICO CITY. March IS
President Ortiz Rubio today &C
cepted the honorary presidency of
the Mexican Olympic games com
mittee after Milton M. Golden
representing the governor of Cali.
fornia and the mayor of Los
Angeles, called upon him at Cha.
pultepec Castle, the presidential
palace. and urged him. if possible,
to attend the games at Los
Angeles this summer.
Ortiz Rubio wrote:
Through these lines 1 call
upon all energetic elements of
the nation to second the patri.
Otic labOrS of the Mexican
Olympic committee in order
that Mexico may be, if not first,
at least one of the nations best
represented at the tenth
OIympiad. I am sure every
body in our country will know
how to respond to this moral
obligation"
Eduardo Prieto, L. j. Soto, A. A
Grisi and F. Maldonado Aspe were
chosen to the fencing team today
the first official selections to the
Mexican olympic group.
Horsemen, markSmen and dis
tance runners will make up the
rest of the team. Gen. T1rsc

Olympic committee, announced
that 20 athletes will go to Los An

should any or all of them falter.
OF the infielders and outfield-
ers, johnson is not worrying a
great deal.
"They can keep in shape
better than the pitchers because
they don't have to train con-
tinuously," says the earnest
pilot. "My greatest worry is
over the pitchers"
The same lineup will play
against the Baltimore Orioles to
day as was announced by Mana
ger johnson last week, with one
exception.
Manush on Bench
Heine Manush will not break
into the fracas at all unless the
weather is completely favorable
for the veteran. This means
Ralph Boyle may get his chance
to play a full game in left field
as Dave Harris is not expected to
be used because Of only one days
work behind him.
The entire lineup follows:
Myer, second base; Boyle, left
field; West, center field; Cronin,
shortstop; Reynolds, right field;
Kuhel, first base; Bluege, third
base; Bolton and Maple, catchers,
and Ragland, Friedrich and Grif'
fifth, pitchers.
All the ailments which involved
several players last week are a
thing of the past today. Mana
ger Johnson's stiff neck is gone,
Joe Kuhel's style is healed, while
Lefty Lloyd Brown, who com
planned of a cold, is well and
ready to go once more.

7 { AM DRILLS
ON DIAMOND
Of SNOW
By SID KATZNELL

Where there's q will, there's a
way. The Clarendon midget base
ball team braved the wintry winds
and the snow covered diamond
to hold it's initial practice ses-
sion of the season yesterday on
the Arlington field.
Thirty-two Reported
Thirty-two players participated
in the drills which were made up
of batting and outfield workouts.
The infielders we're idle due to
the slippery ice which covered
the infield, giving it the sem.
blance of a hockey rink. The
pitchers got the kinks out of
their arms by tossing the apple
to the catcherS on the side-lines.
The setto lasted two hours.
The players have Clipped in
and bought a secondhand truck,
which they will use for transpor-
tation. They painted the car
blue and gray, the teams colors.
Meet Again Friday
Coach Henry Smith already
has equipment for is players,
and when the season actually
begins he expects to have enough
paraphernalia for Is.
The next meeting will take
place Friday night at 7::30 o'clock
in Major Goff's office. All
players are urged to report, as
matters of utmost Importance
will be discussed.
The Washington times., 1932-03-15

partment. Bump Hadley, OBJ
tanned from Washington in the
Carl Reynolds deal, stood fourth
in earned runs per game in 1881
and is counted on as a regular
starter. Sad Sam Jones who
came with him, is an early
starter and counts on a half
dozen spring victories before men
of equal age get started.
Milt CASTOR is another new
conner, but there is little cheerful
in his record. Ted Lyons arm,
which went dead last season, is
functioning again, and he has put
on weight. AL Thomas is his
usual self, and Vic FraSier ought
to be better. Frasier won 13 and
lost Is for a tailend team last
season, and that was his first year
in the majors.
JOlley Interests All
Pat Caraway, who lost "a
games in 1881. and came within
two of tying the American League
record, has a companion left
handler in r. L. Erickson, up from
the TexcS League.
Miscellaneous pitchers Of lesser
note include Joe Bartulis, a big
fellow from the University of 1lli-
nois, and John w. PoSey, who
turned to baseball when he could
not make the academic grade at
Wisconsin.
Great interest has centered in
the catching endeavors of Smead
Jolley. The big man has displayed
commendable perseverance,, but
the longer he works behind the
bat the more the discerning
critics doubt if he is a backstop
by trade. He has developed an
alarming number of thumbs on
both hands. Frank CRUDE and
Bennie Tate are the other catch
erS.
Hayes on Second
The SoX have a better infleld
than heretofore. The rejuvenated
Lu Blue will be at first base.
Second base duties fall to Jack
Hayes. late Of washington. He is
one Of the best fielders IN the
league, but none too strong at bat.
CisseIl has first call at short,
while Carey Selph win start at
third. Selph was drafted from
Houston, where he played second.
He hit 1922 in the Texas League.

Those Old Clippings

You know, next to his two
fists and his fighting heart.
the most valuable things in the
world to a professional fighter
are those old press clippings.
What has a fighter got to take
to climes where he is unknown
to show his pugiliStic prowess
other than the newspaper &C
counts Of his victories.
True, the majority Of them
seldom fill their scrap books
with the stories Of their de-
feats, saving the space therein
for the banners and the top
heads describing their wins.
We know not whether God
win follows this practice, but
he'd have a sweet time finding
any accounts of his Barry vic
tory that would reflect due
credit on his ability against the
likes of Reds. It may be. at
that, that Reds looked better
in defeat than Bob did in vic
tory. but we doubt it.
All of us have heard of home
town decisions cooked up by
ring officials here and there,
but let none of us be guilty
of deliberate home town stories
to make a local lad look good.

RUTH AND..BOSS.
FAR APART

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
15.-The salary wrangle between
Col. Jacob Rupert, owner of the
New York Yankees and his hold
out slugger, Babe Ruth, appar-
emily had reached an impasse.
The Bambino still stood firm
in his demand for $4,000 for
one year, with the Colonel de-
claring $4,000 was his limit.
Although there was no evidence
Of compromise, it was believed
Ruth would sign a one-year con.
tract today or tomorrow for
$4,000.
Colonel Rupert is using Ruth's
slownesS afield as his main talk
ing point, declaring fielding was
important.
The Washington times., 1932-03-15
Or Are We Wrong2

Understand us, we are by no
means criticizing the journal
iStic touches which some of
our colleagues like to give their
work and indeed it may be that
a new school of reportorial
genius has overtaken us the
while we are still laboring
under the old, old impression
that any fighter who wins
ought to get some glory, par
ticularly when he is fighting
q man with 26 more pounds
Of meat on his hulk.
So it might be we'll for God
win, before he goes into the
ring with Lawson tonight, to
make up his mind to do the
thing as decisively as possible
because even If he wins by a
knockout, if last weeks reports
are a criterion. he will have to
hire an expert clipping bureau
to find his name prominently
mentioned in the reviews.
OF course, the real test Of
what Goodwin showed is re-
vealed in the fact that they
brought him right back this
week, but only after the pre-
viouSly billed feature fell
through. Anyone who saw the
fight last week knows Goodwin
couldn't be brought back soon
enough to appease the fans
even if he does come back in
the form of a second thought.

Bob Goodwin should make 1t
four in a row tonight over Eric
Lawson. Won't be a walk.away
however, for the Daytona Beach
boy. Looks good on paper.
Billy Schwartz is due and has
been placed in the proper spot.
Pick him to beat of Joe Finazzo
in the semi.
Patsy Lewis would stop Jack
Quigley in six rounds. AS it is.
Jack will take a lacing in the

BILOXI, Miss, March Is.
Time is passing more and more
every day for your Uncle Clark
Griffith's employees in training a.
this base. Almost before anyone
will be able to yell Jack Robin.
son." the season will be upon the
players. ..
Manager johnson is instiIling
into his athletes the idea OF play,
ing each exhibition game as II
championship was at stake.
The team plays several contests
this week. Today the Baltimore
orioles are being met at the spa
cious Biloxi stadium. Tomorrow
these same orioles are to be en-
gagged at Gulfport, their training
base.
Play COIonels Thrice
Then comes three games with
the Louisville Colonels of the
American Association to complete
a busy week. The Colonels are
to be met at Biloxi in the first OF
this series Friday. The remain
ing two trays are scheduled at
Mobile Saturday and Sunday.
The Biloxi State champions are
also listed in a contest Sunday.
Manager johnson plans leaving a
flock of his young pitchers to
make up a nine for this very i'm
portant engagement.
The weather being much
warmer, johnson sent his gang
through strenuous workout yes
terday. Big Fred Marberry and
General Alvin Crowder took long
shifts on the mound during bat
ting practice, and both we're al
lowed to cut loose for several
minutes.
Mike Delaney, Bud Thomas and
AL Schacht followed Marberry
and Crowder in the box. The
batters saw real curves for The
first time this season.
The same lineup as announced
for Sundays game called off on
account of the cold weather, was
to see action today. Frank Rag
land, Lefy Lynn Griffith and Bob
Frederick will do the pitching.
Cliff Bolton and Howard Maple,
the catching; Joe Kuhel, Buddy
Myer, Joe Cronin and Ossie
Bluege, the Unfolding, and Ralph
Boyle, Sammy West and Carl
Reynolds, the outfielding. OF
course Joe Judge, Johnny Kerr
and Sammy Rice will break into
the game before it is ended.
Weather Warns Up
Both Griff and johnson were
pleased over the change in
weather. Now that it is warmer
they have 10 fears that their
athletes will be retarded in their
training. Naturally it is hoped
that good weather will continue
for the remainder of the training
period.
Lefty Lloyd Brown and Carl
Fischer are expected to get the
call for tomorrow's game against
the Orioles at Gulfport. One
other finger will be used, but
Manager johnson has not made
known his name.
Dave Harris took his first work
out at third base yesterday. Of
course, the chubby one was merely
trying to get his bearings. But
as soon as he's had a couple of
days more practice work, and that
includes everything in the usual
routine, he's expected to receive
real trial at the hot corner
with the idea that an infielder
may be made of him for emer-
