HURLER ALSO.
SOUGHT BY

BY GARRETT WATERS

Your Uncle Clark Griffith and
Manager Walter johnson are still
looking for that extra infielder
and pitcher these days. And with
Joe Cronin still a doubtful starter
at shortstop opening day because
of his sinus trouble, the Unfolding
part of this search becomes de-
cidedly important.
All this not because Johnnie
Kerr has failed to fill the bill as
Cronin's substitute, but because
should anything else happen to
the few left as infielders, the club
would find itself in bad shape.
Griff and Johnson, from the
dope on the situation, have been
looking everywhere during the
past two weeks for a capable ad-
dition. but as yet have found
nothing, much to their diSmay.
They do have Harry Geisler on
hand at the present moment, but
this lad, the property of the
Youngstown Club of the Middle
Atlantic League, has had little eX-
perience in professional baseball
with the result he probably will
not be kept.
A seasoned infielder will become
a Griffman, however, in the next
week or so, according to the two
chieftains. Who he will be they
do not know right now, but the
player corralled will be an ex-
perienced one and one who will
be able to step into any assign.
ment with little notice and play
up to snuff.
It might be said Griff has
been scurrying the waiver lists of
all clubs in the American League
the past week or so in the idea
that maybe some player might be
picked up. But even these tactics
have failed to produce anybody
of note.
Minors Offer Nothing
Scanning the minor leagues,
Griff has found the only way he
could secure '"his man" would be
by the trade route and as known,
the Griffs have no real trading
material on the present roster.
Minor leaguers sought have been
WeS Kingdom, of the Chatta-
nooga Lookouts, and Bill Regan,
of the Baltimore Orioles.
In regard to the pitchers, not
only sought, but needed badly,
nothing has developed along
these lines the past week or so.
Quite like getting the infielder.
all clubs want players in return
for their stars, or so-called stars,
such as they may be.
Cold weather kept the Griff-
men from engaging the Baltimore
Orioles at Baltimore yesterday.
The inclement weather forced the
poStponement of today's game
with the same team scheduled at
Griff Stadium.
Weather permitting, Manager
Johnson'S men conclude their ex-
hibition schedule tomorrow, by en-
tertaining the Buffalo BiSonS at
Griffith Stadium at $3.50 o'clock.
Weaver and Fischer no doubt will
divide hurting honors for the home
team.

Golf Practice Grounds Use OUer 49,
WALPER BUYS
SPHERES To
SU|TSELF
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEOhGE "A. SlMfSON
According to the estimates of
Leo Walper, golf, practice
driving course uses over $4,000
balls during the course of the
season. At the most, this season
lasts from early spring to- late
fall, q period of six months.
There is slight trade in the
winter months, however mild.
Walper is owner of the Bethesda
golf practice grounds, located on
the Rockville Pike, a short dis
tance beyond the Bethesda Bank.
Associated with him this year is
j. Monro Hunter, sr., former pro
at the Indian Spring Club.
Hunter Gives Lessons
Hunter will give lessons at the
Bethesda driving course and also
appear in exhibitions, which will
be featured around his driving.
Hunter is accepted as the longest
driver around Washington.
Walper has already ordered
1000 dozen balls for this year. He
used 1000 dozen last year, but
doesn't think he'll require more
than 1900 dozen this year. He
explains thuSly:
81 have ordered the ball con-
structed along my own specifi-
cations, and 1 think it will be
more durable than the one we
used last year. 1t is made by
one of the largest golf ball
manufacturers in this country,
though my contract will not
permit me to reveal the name
of the company.
Balls Wilted Last Year
Last year, the balls wilted
under a hot sun and sometimes
the dimples were SmOOthened,
even when left in the showcase.
81 have also improved my
practice grounds by installing
green's for approach shots from
any distance. Besides, there is
a sand trap, while, within a
month, we'll have a putting
green"

John Fans Chance

Since the baseball fan is
the real backbone of the sport,
we believe his opinion should
count for much. BY way of di.
version, how would you like to
rest an eye on the selection of
Joseph E. Goodkey, who de-
scribes himself as just an ordi-
nary cash customer.
Sir Joseph likes his Ma
tionalS. but he doesn't like
them very much, if the posi-
ton he grants them on the eve
of the start of the race is an
indication. Here's his pick:
New York st. Louis
Philadelphia WASHINGTON
Cleveland Boston
Chicago Detroit
If you fans are interested
in each others selection, we
shall be pleased to print as
many as possible through the
six week days of next week.
They should make interesting
comparisons as Sep e m b e r
draws on. Just place the eight
teams in the American League
where you believe they will
finish and be sure to sign
your name to them so that you
can either take credit or blame
when the season ends.

1t is interesting to note that
from March 16 up to the present,
Johnny Kerr, reserve infielder, is
the leading Griff batsman with a
percentage mark of .445.
Although Johnny has never
played a full game until his re-
cent few, due to Shortstop Joe
Cronin's absence, he has hit well
in every instance and therefore
hangs the tale why he has the
best percentage among his mates
for spring hitting honors.
In 13 games, Kerr has gone to
bat As times, scored II runs and
Socked out 20 hits. This figures
out to .445 no matter how many
times you go over it so Johnny,
not only must be, but is the lead
ing Griff swatsman at the pres
ent moment.

The Weather Man, and not Old Man Depression, kept the New Years greetings from Busby Island residents from reaching The Gate way until the last mail from the South.
 MT. and Mrs. Angus Mcdonald, who have a prosperous fur farm on Busby Island, in the Valdez vii cinity, extended the seasons greet ings to The Gateway and stated also that depression seems to have made no advancement in their To- cality.

If you feel sour and sunk ard the world looks punk. don't swallow a lot of salts. mineral water. oil. laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling Is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels- Gas bioats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes- Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
 It takes those good. old CAMPERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful. harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when 1t comes to making the bae flow freely.

Treasure Beyond Price
Is Excavators' Reward

From east to west psychologists
have announced their discoveries Of
tombs filled with the treasures and
splendor of ancient kings.
Professor Garstang has found the
tombs of the kings who reigned in
Jerico 30 centuries ago as vassals
of the Pharaohs.
Over 500 vases were found In one
of these royal tombs. and in tomb
of earlier period, 1000 years old,
hundreds of Bronze age objects
were discovered.
Don Alphonso Case, excavating
in Mexico. opened a tomb of the
rulers of the Mixtecs, who preceded
the Aztecs as lords of Central Amer
lea.
This was about the time Colum-
bus first reached the New world.
Little did he guess that he had come
to a land with a civilization which
had achieved the treasures brought
to light.
Don Alphonso reported that the
finds were worth millions-utensils
of gold. jars of onyx, skulls encrust-
ed with turquoise, vases, and beau
tiful ornaments made by skilled
craftsmen.
The scene of this find is among
the ruins of Monte Alban near
Oaxaca.

EXPERT EXPLAINS
FREAkISH WINTER
Caused by Solar Radiation
and Lunar Pull, He Says.

Washington.-A theory for the
freak weather a large part of the
world has been experiencing has
been advanced by Herbert j.
Browne, celebrated long-distance
weather forecaster. Of Washington.
While his explanation is looked
upon by official United States
weather bureau men as merely Il
theory. to many persons it sounds
plausible.
Brownies system is built upon
the observations of a scientific man
of the highest rating-Dr. Charles
Greeley Abbot. secretary Of the
Smithsonian institution and discov-
erer of variability In the SUMS radi-
alton.
Browne believes the sea reflects
solar changes, gradually gaining and
then gradually losing heat, with the
gradual increase and elimination in
the intensity of radiation from the
big luminary. through the 11.2O-
year swing which Doctor Abbot has
fixed as the length Of the cycle.
Moon Also Responsible.
With due allowance for a lag Of
about three years. to give time for
ocean currents to effect a distribu-
tion of the waters throughout the
seas, from the equatorial to the
most northerly and southerly and
back again, is the groundwork of
Brownies theory.
He also takes into consideration
the cyclical changes in the position
of the moon, with what he presumes
to be it's accelerating drag upon the
currents, as well as its tidal uplift.
Now the lunar cycle is of 1876
years. Thus at a given point (say
in the maritime area to the south
east of the Florida coast) the COM
bination of influences of maximum
solar radiation and the maximum
lunar pull would be felt only once
in 55.8 years.
And this, says Browne, is just the
influence which, In that area, re-
Gently has been approximating its
climax.
The result, he asserts. is the crea-
tion Of barometric conditions which,
moving inland to the northwest
ward, not only are giving much of
the country its peculiar warm
winter but also have been giving
1t increasingly peculiar weather for
several years past.
Severe Winter Felt.
The Gulf stream, under the same
influence, has penetrated much far
ther than usual, past Spitzbergen
into the Arctic, where the warmer
water. remaining at the surface, be-
cause lighter, has squeezed out the
colder water underneath, hasten
ing its movement southward along

LEGION HEAD TO

Commander Stevens Schedul-
ed to Address Meeting to be
Held at Newark May 10th

H H. Hanson, Department Com
mander of Delaware, has received
official notice from American Leg
ion National Headquarters in In

named chairman of the committee.
For the purpose of completing def
mite plans, Commander Hanson
called a meeting of the Depart
ment Executive. The American
Legion in Delaware officially does
not favor the cash payment of the
balance of the soldiers bonus at
this time, according to the senti-
ment expressed by Captain II. H.
Hanson, of Dover, Department
Commander of the Legion, who
recently sent a letter in opposition
to the payment plan to DelaWare's
representatives in Congress. In
addition to stating his own person
al objections to the payment of the
money at this time, Captain Han
sons letter pointed to the fact that
the Detroit convention of he Leg
ion voted against the cash payment
plan and that the Delaware dele
cation in the convention cast their
votes with the majority on this is
sue. although they were not IN
structed in the matter by their De
partment convention. According
to information received by Captain
Hanson no Post in Delaware has
taken any action on the bonus
question, although it was placed
before a recent meeting Of one OF
the larger Posts in the State and
after some discussion the matter
was laid aside without any action
being taken on it. When his at
tention was invited to the fact that
a recent petition presented to Con-
gress urging the immediate pay
ment of the bonus money contain
ed the names of more than two
thousand Delaware veterans, which
is almost double the total member

Captain Hanson had no comment
to offer. The annual poppy sale
