Shanghai is in the east-central part
of China, not many miles from the
coast of the East China Sea. Its popu-
lation is placed at 2.674,000. Fuchow,
Peipine, Canton, Nanking and IAnchow
are among the other important cities
About per cent Of the people IN
Shanghai are of foreign Stock-chlef1y
Englishmen, Americans and French
men. They live in quarters separated
from those of the native citizens, and
have streets, houses and offices very
much like those in their own countries.
One difference, however, is the presence
of many rickshas in the streets--carri-
ages pulled for hire by human beings.
The rest of Shanghai has more in
terest because it gives view OF ordinary
Chinese customs. The streets are mar
row and crooked some are so narrow
that they do not leave room for passage
Of an ordinary automobile.
Automobiles are not common in the
native quarters Of any Chinese city.
China has become republic. and much
progress has been made in some fields
but from our point of view the people
are behind the times. They pull carts
and push wheelbarrows to an extent
that is amazing to the foreign visitor.

How 1t Started
That Word "Abominate."
By JEAN NEWTON.

To say that we abominate something
is merely to say, though in q much
stronger way, that we dislike it. A
much more colorful significance, how
ever, is written into the story OF this
word.
We have abominate from the Latin
"abominari''-ab away, plus omen,
foreboding. Literally this was ito turn
away from an evil omen" That is the
kind of aversion the ancients expressed
in their past participle. "abomina tus,"
from which, directly, we have abomi-
nate.

Bob is really not his first
name. But he likes it better than
anything else as he doesn't know
yet why his parents put such a
twister as Lloyd in front of his
name.
One OF Greenest
Bob, or Lloyd, have it your way,
is probably the greenest rookie
ever to have taken a trip south
with the Griffmen. To top it off
he's as clumsy as the we'll known
OK, his feet get in his way and he
tells the weirdest stories ever
heard from any country lad.
With it all, Bob is attracting
no little attention by his willing
ness to do everything in a pitch
ing way told him by Prexy Clark
Griffith, Manager Joe Cronin and
Coaches Nick Altrock and AL
Schacht.
"It's the only way to learn"
he says.
And this spirit is opening the
path for what may be a glorious
big league career in the near
future.
Distinct Mannerism
Bob has a distinct mannerism
as do most all people. This is in
addition to his clumsiness, his big
feet and his mentioned spirit.
It is retort which follows
every sentence he speaks. Here it
is, no doubt copyrighted and

given the most work to do, while
in the medicine ball drills his
mates feed him the ball with such
a decided umph that it's really
pathetic to see him try to recover
in time to pass to the next man
beside him.

ever, with his serious but laugh
able yeah, mani" And, no mat
ter how hard he's forced to work,
or what test he's put through,
that yeah, mani" always smooths
over the situation.
Wants to Impress
To be sure, Bob would like to
win himself a baseball job some
where this year. That's what he's
down here for, even though the
chances are slim this season at
least-that he'll impress enough
to hang on with the Griffmen.
But he's hoping for some sort Of
break to turn up.
Maybe that yeah, mani" will
help him attract some attention
if his pitching does not in the fu-
ture. Both are 'there," all right,
and probably it'll be a case of
which blossoms forth first. OF
course, Bob hopes it'll be his
pitching. It's not an impossible

JUDSON SPILLS

k@ nrt,"
.

There's one grappler who won't
be bluffed by Fred Grobmier's
Japanese frog" scissors. And
this certain grappler is Frank
Judson, whose appeal to local
wrestling lovers is mounting every
day.
Judson pinioned Grobmier in 33
minutes in the feature Of the pro"
gram at the Washington Audi
torium last night and thereby
gained additional admirers. A
wrist lock and body press brought
victory to JudSon after being IN
the jowls of defeat.
The former Harvard wrestling
coach opened up in desperate
fashion and assailed Grobm1er
with a varied assortment of wrist
locks, arm locks, leg splits, etc:
The IoWan successfully thWarted
the attacks and then assumed the
aggressor's role.
Six minutes before Judson ap-
piled the "heat," the situation was
dismal for him. Grobmier had
buttoned on his famous "Japahese
frog" scissors and "hook" scissors
and there was Judson grovelllhg
around the ring, trying to shake
Grobmier from his back. Finally,
after many attempts, he freed
himself and then hastily ended
the skirmish.
Paul Jones wrapped his scissors
about Jim Clinstock's torso to re-
move the Indian after II minutes
of the semiwindup. DR.. Ralph
Wilson found Jim Atlas like the
world on his shoulders and OBJ
tained only Commute draw with

The situation can be said to
be unusually encouraging for Joe
Cronin, youthful pilot, who must
do all the worrying for the Griff-
men this season.
In short, all in camp are
"ready" and are waiting for the
arrival of the final guard when
drills will then become speedier
than ever.
Even Bob Cassell, the rookie,
is around and about again ready
to do his durndest to win a
pitching job somewhere, if not
with the Griffmen.
The others of his cult are also
instilled with that up and at 'em
spirit which helps to develop
stars.
Veterans Ready
The veterans? It is to smile
happily. They're ready, yep,
plenty ready, and seldom in the
past has such a situation ex-
listed with the Washington ball
club.
First off, there's General Alvin
.Crowder, last years greatest win
ming pitcher in the league. He
looks as if he could go nine
innings right now. Next, there's
Earl Whitehill, the veteran OBJ
tanned last December in the deal
which sent Marberry to the De-
troit Tigers. He's ready, too.
Then there's Wally Stewart,
the former st. Louis southpaW,
Alphonse Thomas, Monte Weaver,
and Jack Russell. They're the
picture of excellent shape-may
it never turn out to be a bad
DIRE m.
Getting around to the catchers,
all three, Luke Sewell, Moe Berg,
and Cliff Bolton, have trained
themselves into fine shape.
They've had to work every min
ute to do this as their routine
has included running plenty
around the old ball yard besides
handling the shoots of the
pitchers, loosening up their "soup-
bones" for the batting practice
and appearances in games ahead.

Detroit Tigers is misnomer.
Tame tabbies would fit them
better this year. If one were to
pick out the team least likely
to show improvement over last
year, one would unhesitatingly
name Detroit.
The pitching is fair, the infield
is fair, the outfield is fair. It's
just a fair ball club any way
you take it. It is a club that
looks better on paper than it
does on the ball field.
Take a look at the pitchers.
Tom Bridges is fine. George Uhle,
once the best right handler in
the country, is years past his
peak. Wyatt is pretty good and
so is Hogsett. Vic Sorrell is very
good and Fred Marberry, OBJ
tanned in trade for Whitehill,
will be a wonder, as usual, start
ing from the bull pen but not
so good starting his own games.
There seems to be no good rea-
son why Marberry shouldn't be
a great starting pitcher. He SIM
ply isn't.
Davis Is Star
The right side of the infield
is fine. Harry Davis is undoubt-
edly the best fielding first base
man in the game and Gehringer
beside him is a good hitter. Ro-
gell is fair at short and Marvin
Owen may or may not live up
to his minor league record at
third.
Owen was a sensation with
Newark in the international
League. He was by all odds the
best player in the league, nice
fielder and a corking hitter. He
is said to be ready for the big
time, but, of course, you are never
sure of this until major league
pitchers have had a chance to
work him over few times. Every
year there are Ty Cobbs and Babe
Ruths coming UPON paper but
their performances somehow fail
to live up to their press notices.
Well know more about Owen in
June, and so will Bucky Harris.
Outfield Needs Help
The outfield could stand plenty
of bolstering. Jack Stone, Gerald
Walker and Earl Webb rate only
$3.50 among the outfielders. They
are good enough but by no means
great, and certainly not the stuff
of which pennant winners are
made.
Hayworth is an improving
catcher and this season should
take rank with Bill Dickey, Of the
Yankees, and Mickey Cochrane'
of the Athletics.
Bucky Harris may develop q
young pitcher or two, but untrleo
youngsters are always a gamble
on the advance dope, and unless
Bucky works a baseball miracle
he will be lucky to finish as high
as he did last year.
