Record Reservations

The reservations for the
opening game here a month
from yesterday with the lowly
Boston Red Sox as Washing
toms opponents are by far
greater than they were a year
ago at this time with a debut
twixt Washington and the
world champion Athletics the
attraction.
Furthermore, the season res
ervationS-those for Saturdays,
Sundays and holidayS
throughout the 1882 season
are greater now than for any
year in the history of the club.
Both opening day and season
reservations have broken all
records for a similar span be-
fore the season opens. Now
what do you think of that?
Is there a depression. or isn't
there?
So. with generally reduced
salaries and a smaller player
limit, the local club stands in
> a fair way to pay some income
tax for the calendar year of
1882; that is, if the advance
interest in the local games
may be taken as an indication.
The Washington times., 1932-03-12

The reason? The 22-year-old
youngster is more polished in his
work and not as clumsy as was
Gill in the latter's showing before
Griff late in 1881.
"AN Boyle needs to learn is
how to hit little better" says
Griff. This because of his small
.312 average last year as an
OriOle, which could have been
better with the proper inStruc-
tiOn, and aid in his stance and
work at the plate"
That the youngSter is better
fielder than Gill can be taken from
a picture of his prancing around
in the outfield sessions Manager
johnson always sees to before the
daily practice drills are ended for
the day.
Goes After 'Em
Boyle goes after 'em like he
knows what it is all about. while
his throwing is all that could be
desired. Ralph bats leftrhanded
and heaves the same way.
The lad may stick with the team
this year instead of Dave Harris,
the chubby outfielder. This be-
cause Griff feels he has a real
conner in the performer, where he
knows Harris weaknesses both at
bat and in the field.

ton. He weighs a little more than
Sammy, however, as his poundage
of ITS against Vests 1855 tells.
Still, he doesn't hit exactly like
he can because of reasons men
toned earlier in this yarn. The
lad is not slugger, however. In
truth he never has been known
as one. But to stay in fast COM
pany the necessity of becoming
a better hitter faces him, all of
which he must work out for him.
self before the pruning time
arrives, at which time either he
or Harris must go.
Ralph is a likeable chap in q

He is a great friend of Monte

last year.

COLD WEATHER
H|TSD. c. GOLF

The weather mans prediction
of continued cold weather with
the possibility of further snow
did not salve the unpleasant dis
position of the local golfers who
have been deprived of their sport
for the past week.
There is small hope that the
courses. closed for the first time
this winter on account of last
Sundays blizzard, will be opened
for play before Wednesday or
Thursday. Only a bright sun
and warm day will thaw the ice
covered courses.
! At that. another day or two
of wait will be necessary as the
thaw will leave the courses in a
Soggy condition, unfit for play.
However, the greenskeepers are
thankful for the blizzard because
the thick covering of snow and
ice will help nuture the early
spring grass, giving a heavy
stand.

Mccarthy stopped a waywarc

Larry. conspicuous. in the rec
shirt, came up with a hard drive
over third base. Mccarthy
smiled:
How can you keep that fel-
low out of the lineup? Great
ball player"
Saltzgaver? How about him
Well. Mccarthy just didn't know
whether this rangy chap can take
Lary's job. Sewell still is a
mighty fine third baseman, Nc

Hes just about ready now

prospect" --.
McCarthy's underslung jaw
worked furiously as he chewed
gum and seemed to be trying tc
dope out that infield. Like a
puzzle, trying to put the pieces
together.
Catching to Dickey
. Dickey will do most of the
catching. Cy Perkins will not
be given very much work. Con.
tinues Mccarthy:
'Pipgras looks fine; may
stage a great comeback. OF
the young pitchers, Allen has
3 chance. So has Dusty
Rhodes. PennOck can't work
often, but he will be good
when he does. / probably will
have four starting pitchers
in Gomez, Ruffing, Pipgras
and Johnson and possibly
either Rhodes or Allen"
All very indefinite. It was
apparent that Mccarthy is going
to do a lot of thinking before
deciding on the 1892 team. And,
later. as Joe Strolled toward the
clubhouse, he remarked:

off your right leg, you must
continue on around with it,
with left arm and the wrists
maintaining approximately the
same relationship to the club
that is, no lifting of the club
as it swings.
The turning of your body,
and the natural order of things,
do cause the club to swing on
a gradually ascending plane,
but you must be careful to
avoid accentuating this. The
swing, or throw, of the club
head directly back. and low,
