TOURISTS HERE
DROP IN YEAR

The way visits of tourists here
have declined this year is seen in
figures compiled by H. P. Clarke,
manager of the Washington Tour
iSt Camp.
The camp register reveals a
one-third drop during December
as contraSted with December,
1881. This December there were
614 tourists and 226 cars; in 1881,
906 persons and 318 cars. The
count does not include 140 per
sons attending the National

CH|CUBS v A n 7.
DAZN VANCE

CHICAGO, Mar. Rum o r
persists that Dazzy Vance, erst-
while member of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, will be pitching for the
Cubs this summer.
It seems that Vance is not
exactly happy about the $4,000
offered him by the Cardinals.
The Cubs would pay Vance
more than $1,000. They would
even give him $4,000. For years
they paid Charley Root $22, 500.
At one time they paid Hack Will
son 500, 900.
Under the eagle eye of Branch
hickey, at st. Louis, it is not
likely that Dazzy would be a
happy warrior. Certainly he
would not be happy working for
a mere $4,000. Moreover, Hickey
is a disciplinarian who would re-
quire Vance to pitch more than
once q week and this would so
grieve the DaZzler that he might
not be too greatly concerned with
fooling National League batters
and this would not do.
The Washington times., 1933-03-01
Revived Interest

We believe things have been
done to the club in the last
three months which augur a re-
vival in fan interest over the
three previous seasons. No club
in the majors has received such
q thorough overhauling. It's out
field will have two new faces
and two mighty bats that it
didn't boast last season in Fred
Schultz and Goose Goslin.
Tits pitching department has
been weeded of much dead tim
ber which had years to prove
its worth, and replanted with
three rather substantial names,
viz: Earl Whitehill, Walter
Stewart and Jack Russell, the
first two named being south
paws with regulations.
Furthermore, one of the sweet
est catcherS of the last decade
has been grated to the Wash
1ngton vine in the person of
that young veteran, Luke Sew
ell, so this dynamic though in
visible force which is sending
the local fandom to the reserva-
ton window even this far ahead
Of the inaugural game, seems
quite a natural result of the
winter trading season here
abouts.
Secretary Eddie Eynon, Sec
retary of the Washington ball
club, believes also that the
heavy advance reservations can
be accounted for in the fact
that the public has learned
better how to apportion it's re-
duced incomes with reference
to their amusements and en-
tertainment and that also the
sixty or so thousand Federal
employees better understand the
workings Of the legislative and
administrative furloughs.

From all Cne Reports Travis
has a fine chance to make the
grade providing his fielding holds
up. At bat he's said to be a
real marvel as his excellent swat
mark for the Chattanooga Look
outs in 1892 reveals.
Playing third base in every game,
and at times under trying condi-
tions, the kid hit to the tune of
362-the best mark of all the
Lookouts, and topped this off
by being one of the most valuable
players to his team because OF
his ability to keep going despite
a torrid pennant race.
Big Question
Whether Travis will be able to
hit big league pitching or not is
the big question at this hour in
the minds of Messrs. Griffith and
Cronin, the boss men of the
Griffmen. But they plan to find
out as soon as the batting drills
start and then they'll form their
definite opinions.
Also, these two officials will be
interested in the way Travis han
dies himself around that third
sack. If he can field in any man
ner, shape or form at all. they'll
give him several favorable points
in his battle to oust Bluege: but
even this won't be definitely de-
cided upon until Bluege is seen in
action again and better compari-
sons made.
Travis will be one of the tallest
and heaviest men in camp when
he arrives. The records give his
height as 6 feet 112 inches and
his weight 1876 pounds. He is a
left-handed batter.
Bat Drills Friday
Manager Cronin stated def
nitely today that he'd commence
batting practice by Friday or Sat-
urday for all those on hand. The

gin it earlier than this. but has
