All IA Starters Finish, Making

DURHAM, N. c., September IL
- For the first time since 1927
the National Association Of
Professional Base Ball Leagues, which
embraces all minor leagues, closes the
books for the year without recording
the failure of single circuit.
The wind-up of several leagues Sun
day virtually finished the minor
schedules, headquarters Of the associa-
tion points out.
Fourteen leagues played the 1888
season. Even during the years of 1928
and 1928, association officials said,
several leagues went ON the rocks
during the Summer
The record of the current year is
in marked contrast to that of 1882,
when six leagues were unable to finish
their schedules" said Judge w. G.
Bramham of Durham, president of the
association. I'VE view this as the pass
ing of the turn and the promise of
brighter outlook for 1884"
There has been nothing more the
matter with base ball than with any
other business. During a year when
every enterprise in the country has
been faced with the task of getting
itself adjusted, our leagues not only
have held on, but have cleaned up
considerable Of their back obligations.
That indicates headway and better
things to come"

Bobby Jones is out Of tournaments,

he still is the master Of the game. He
is big part of the big show which got
under way today at Kenwood, where five
aspiring amateurs from the National
Capital made their bid for place in

Only one of them-Miller B. Stevin-

than likely not more than one of them
will qualify out here in the open spaces
If one of them does make the match

dian Spring youngster, % years of age,
powerful and strong is the best golfer
Of the lot. Next to him Dick Lunn of
Chevy Chase, rangy 18-year-old college

Luther C. Steward, jr., and Martin F.

where he can collect more for
possible strengthening in 1884,

tant persons of other American
League outfits the Nationals need
no more than they now have to
make them pennant winners

Pennant winners again goes,
for having scored their ninetieth
victory while their closest COM

but 80, nothing short of the great
est upset base ball ever has known
can prevent them being at the
peak of the pack at the finish this
year.
Since the Nationals firmly established
themselves at the top of the league,
most Of their rivals have freely stated
that Griffith has club that will main
tain its championship for some time.
They conceded it this seasons cham
pionship more than month ago. And
they don't see how it can be stopped in
the next campaign.
So general is this opinion that
only two American League per-
sOnages are missing from the
band ruefully, but reasonably ad-
mitting the Nationals will be
hard to take in 1884.
They are Joe Mccarthy. Yankee pilot,
who never says anything good Of the
club that has pushed his pets out of
everything but a mere mathematical
chance for the flag this time, and
Rogers HornSby, boss of the Browns,
who has not been in the circuit long
enough to draw any conclusion other
than that his aggregation must under
go a thorough overhauling before it
even resembles a major league club.
The others feel that the Nationals,
with a pennant- winning year behind
them, will be even better.

with twin bill at Wrigley Field.
A glance at the New York clubs

as the older loops blue-eyed baby If it
does no better than come out Of the
Cub tussle with an even break.
While they could be dethroned,
there will be plenty Of the boys
in the back room ready to wager
anything at your price that the
Terrymen are in by merely split
ting with Chicago.
Diamond diagnosticians contend that
the crucial spot in the Giants grueling
flight to flag heights was the recent
Pittsburgh series. They lost three out

yesterday and two today, will leave the
boys from along the Monongahela in a
dizzy state. Like the Braves, the Bucs
are believed to have pointed for and
shot all in Giant series.
Boston, for instance, took 1t on
the chin for three straight not
long after battling the Terrymen.
The Cubs did 1t.
Chicago, now Gotham's only serious
contender for the National League flag,

Thomas Disappoints.

@THER players the Washington
Club had scattered through the
hinterland getting experience
have been shifted from the rolls in
part payment of debts or cut loose en-
tirely.
Among Cancelled options are those
that bound Frank Ragland and Luther
Thomas, pitchers, and Howard Maple,
catcher, to the Nationals. Ragland and
Thomas have been assigned on paper
to Albany, although Ragland has peen
in various places this season, While
Thomas has done most Of his pitching
for Wheeling of the Midatlantic League
Maple will remain with Chattanooga.
the failure of Bud Thomas, the
bon from the Virginia hills, to
deuelop into major league pos
sibility is something OF q bloD to
Grifth.
The Washington boss thought highly
of Bud after the youngster did SO we'll
for Youngstown in the Central League
last year. A little more polish and he
would be ready for the big show, 1t
was believed But Bud lost much OF his
steam this season and the tie on him
was snapped.
With so little in sight, Griffith says
he will take chance on the draft to
be held just before the world series
opens next month. But, being first
place club, Washington will get the last
shot at the minor marvelS. With the
National League having precedence over
the American League in this particu-
lar draft, this means Washington can
get only what Is other clubs don't want.
And that will be nothing worth while.
So Griffith frets and frowns

Only Three Purchases Made.

WET Griffith processes to be worry
y ing over lack of material that
might be needed for patching here
and there an outfit that has withstood
nobly the stress and strain Of a cham
pionship chase. He points out that the
Washington club has on its roster the
smallest number Of players ever at such
a stage of the season since he became
connected with it back in 1912.
There are only 26 players listed
on the books OF organized base
ball as the property of the Wash
ington club. And at this time in
other seasons Griffith has had
strings on as many as 40. Neper
less than IS.
Maybe Griffith has regarded his club
50 good that he did not need to make
purchases. Or maybe the turnstiles
have not clicked enough here to war
rant a heavy outlay for talent. ANY,
way, the Nationals have made but three
purchases, all pitchers, since the cur
rent campaign got under way.
Big Ed Chapman, picked up from
Rochester: Ray Prim, bought from
Albany, and the venerable Alec McColl
obtained from Chattanooga, complete
the lot for which the Capital club put
out cash.
Perhaps not SO much cash, ex-
cept in the deal for Chapman,
for the lifting of McColl from
the Chattanooga farm and the
procurement of Prim from the
International League troupe
headed by Griffith's base ball
protege, Joe Cambria, were large
ly book transactions.
Griffith has exercised only two of his
options on players he had planted with
minor league clubs. Cecil Travis, the
hard-hitting infielder, and Ed Linke,
chubby pitcher, have been hauled in
from Chattanooga.
Travis, with the Nationals now, will
stick through the remainder of the sea-
son. Linke will not reioin them until
the next training camp opens, however.

Course Okay for Peacock.

THE chance Of any of the Washing
ton contingent making the grade,
outside of Peacock, is slim indeed,
for the field is easily the fastest which
has gathered at the amateur champion
ship in many years. Peacock is a stand
out. but even as good as the youngster
is. he will have TO move fast to find a
berth in the match play rounds.
kenWOod is strictly a driving
course, which means that the gent
who can keep the ball straight
for 4 reasonable distance down
the middle, has the best chance
of qualifying. Peacock can do
just that. The kid has the power
in reserve that il takes to knock
the ball straight and far enough.
Furthermore, early today he was out
there on the practice tee, Strengthening
out hook which had developed in his
long iron shots. He got it out, by hard
work, and he thought he might do
rs as he teed of. The others were
hopeful, but rot sanguine of their
chances. The big names don't mean so
much to them, but the golf course has
them licked.
Mccarthy was the only one Of the
local contingent who played the course
yesterday, the last time before the
pencil began to work today. Playing
in a match with Harry G. Pitt of
Manor, he knocked the ball around in
n. But he smilingly admitted that it
would be tougher today after the greens
were cut and rolled Harry arrived
here Saturday in company with Jack
Daley of Manor and played around
the course, He predicts that the man
who can keep the ball straight can

amply big and slow enough to hold a
