Hands Burned,
Teeth Broken

PARIS, Mar. IA (By MaiD. - A
Vienna dispatch to the conservative
Petit Journal" gives details of the
torture and maltreatment of prison
ers interned in the Spandau fortress.
A German who was interned in the
fortress for two weeks by the Nazis
states that he himself saw persons
who had been beaten almost to death,
with their eyes gouged out. Most of
the prisoners had their teeth knock
ed out by brass-knuckle blows; their
hands were SCARED by burns, and
the fingers Of many had been mutt
lated.

Connie Mack declares he is
not worried over the passing

the absence of Simmons, Haas
and Dykes.
They are Coleman, Cramer

Indian Spring
Pro Sharpens
Golf Game
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Whipping his game in shape for
the approaching North-South open
golf championship at Pinehurst
the latter part of this month is
the primary object of George Diff
fenbaugh, Indian Spring pro.
Since the weather took the up
swing along with the bank stock
market, Diffenbaugh hasn't passed
up an opportunity to brighten his
game. Yesterday, he toured the
first nine, of his home in 36.
The Indian Spring pro, one OF
the three from this section ex-
tended an invitation by the Pine
hurst authorities, is more than
anxious to make a good showing
in this tournament, one of the
blue-ribbon prizes of the winter
season.
He is hitting the ball well, but
isn't pleased with his short game
or putting. Placing particular at
tention to both, he hopes to have
them up to grade by the time he
visits PinehurSt.
AL Houghton, of Kenwood, and

Judge Will Start

Manager Max Carey has al
ready indicated Joe Judge will
be on that first cushion when
the season opens. Joe has been
there in all of the practice games
to date, Del Bissonette still show
ing some signs of favoring that
bad set of legs. Carey has said
he can't figure on Bissonette be-
fore June.
In the meantime Judge is
more than likely to cinch the
job, as it is not considered good
baseball to take a man off the
job when he is hitting on all
cylinders.
What Judge will do to that

his lack of control. AS soon as
he overcomes this, also becomes
more polished, he will be ready
for a thorough big league trial.
Griff hopes to teach him lots
about pitching in Washington
this summer.
Manager Joe Cronin announced
his pitching program yesterday
for games over the weekend, and
interesting to say, several notable
disclosures were made.
He is going to give the young
sters, Eddie Linke and Bud
Thomas their biggest tests of the
spring season by sending them
against the Cleveland Indians
Sunday, at New Orleans in three
inning shifts.
Veterans Line. Up
Cronins other pitchers will be
worked as follows: Gen. Alvin
Crowder will begin against the
Indians tomorrow and will hurl
three innings. Earl Whitehill, vet
eran Southpaw, will get his first
test of the year in the following
three innings, while Monte Wea-
yer. former Baltimore Oriole and
winner of % games last season,
will finish out the string.
Lefty Walter Stewart, acquired
from the st. Louis Browns in the
deal which also brought Goose
Goslin and Fred Schultz to the
GriffS, will start Sundays con-
test. After having worked three
frames, he will be followed by
Linke and -homas.
The veterans of the group have
been patiently waiting for these
assignments as they've been
ready and rarin' to go ever
since the start of the exhibition
games a week or so ago.
There is only one veteran
pitcher excluded from the list of
those to work either tomorrow
or Sunday. He is Alphone
Thomas, the former Chicago
White Sox star, There is moth
ing wrong with Tommy, except
Manager Cronin plans to nurse
him along for another week in
order not to risk Thomas arm.
Tommy will go to New Orleans
with the club and will be worked
during the batting drills before
each contest. Then next week
he'll be given a real chance on
the mound.

Fred Grobmier. idol Of local
fans, endeavored to halt Steele
at the Washington Auditorium
last night but found the job too
great. Steele was victor after 26
minutes. using a series of body
slams to squeeze the last fleck Of
resistance out of Grobmier.
Grobmier put up a stubborn
battle and the 5000 spectators
were more than once brought to
their feet. The lanky 1owan

1t would be just as easy as roll
ing in a rocking chair, and may
be easier than that.
"I'm not worrying about
right field" he said, II played
the position when I first came
into the big leagues and 1 can
play it again even though left
field has been my place during
the past five or six years."
Goslin stalked out to right
field for the first time this season
when the Griffs met the Atlanta
Crackers last Sunday. He
looked quite at home and, in
fact, made that sector of the
outfield appear stronger than it
has been in several years just
because of his peppery presence.
Wednesday, when the Griffs
met Atlanta again, the Goose was
still the colorful player in right
field and on one occasion caught
a fly ball as if he really was roll
ing back and forth in that rock
ing chair.
Goslin should easily have an
other of his great seasons this
year because, for a most impor-
tant reason, he's back home"
where he likes to play, and
secondly, because he won't have
to look up into the sun in right
field when travelling after hard
hit fly ball.
Didn't Hit So Well
With the st. Louis Browns in
1882, he experienced his worst
campaign, batting 229, but even
with this supposed low figure for
an outfielder, he was still able TO
drive across 104 something
that's not to be sneezed at, re-
gardleSS of average.
With the Griffs this year, Cos
lin should Smote across many a
run as he's always possessed the
happy faculty of doing this and
should keep on doing it because
Of the great team around him.
In this connection the Griffs
will present an imposing array of
run SmackerS this year, with such
men as Manush, Cronin. Schultz,
Kuhel and Myer around to help
the Goose out. Manush and Gro
min were the Griff leaders last sea-
son. while Kuhel and Myer did
their share of the work, as the
records will reveal. And Schultz,
last but not least, was no slouch
in 1882 when it came to driving
in those runs in the pinches.
Must Hit in PincheS
A ball club to be winner must
always boast of an array of per-
formers who can hit in the
pincheS. One or two can't do all
the work, as past history will
prove. But when there are sew
eral in the line-up-Well, it's just
O different story, that's all.
This situation promises to pre-
vail with the Griffs this season.
Not only will Goslin be present to
carry the load, but Manush,
Cronin, Schultz. Kuhel, Myer and
the many others, including Dave
Harris and Sam Rice, of. the out
field reserves; Bob Boken and
Johnny Kerr, of the infield util-
tty list and CatcherS Cliff Bolton
The Washington times., 1933-03-17

although before anything was
started for the day, Manager
Cronin had his men engaged in
special inside baseball session
which featured the cutting off of
runs on hits to the outfield or
infield, and the running down of
base runners. Cronin had his
entire team lined up on the field
and had Nick Altrock hit infield
and outfield bounderS. The men
at their respective positions drilled
themselves into throwing to the
right bases while Johnny Kerr,
Cecil Travis, Bob Friedrichs and
Bob Boken acted as the base run
nerS.
Cronin announced later that
Jack Russell, John Burrows and
probably Bill McAfee would pitch
today's game against the New
Orleans Pelicans. Each would
travel three innings.

ALEX. FIGHTERS WIN

The Alexandria Boys Club de-
feated the Corbett A. c. boxers
of this city, 2 to l, in their
matches last night. Phones and
Tap were the Alexandria winners
with Dittelman winning for the
Corbett A. C. The bout between
Morrell, Alexandria, and Fletcher,
Corbett A. c., was declared a
draw by Referes, Billy Schwartz
The Washington times., 1933-03-17

and Moe Berg, of the backstop-
ping department.
All these men are excellent hit
ters in the pincheS and should
"come through" even more than
ever this year because of the new
deal" and new spirit predominate
with the entire club. AS much is
hoped for at any rate.
