Tommy will travel the first six
innings and will be relieved by
Earl Whitehill, who also will be
appearing before Washington fans
for the first real time this sea-
ton, not many having witnessed
his fine performance Of last
Wednesday when the Griffs met
the Boston Braves.
Both hurlers are expected to
be great aids to the Griffs this
year, also it is the general con-
tention that both are about ready
to turn in their best perform
ances of their careers because Of
the expert manner in which they
have conditioned themselves this
spring. Professor Monte Weaver
was due to get the call for to-
days opener with the Bisons and
was scheduled to go the full nine
innings, which fate befell Gen
eral Alvin Crowder in yesterdays
scheduled contest with the Brook
lyn Dodgers.
Gr1ffS Beat Dodgers
The Griffs won this particular
game, to /, with Crowder go
ing along easily and feeling none
the worse for his efforts at the
finish. The veteran right-hander,
who led all other pitchers in the
American League last year in the
matter of victories with 26, al
lowed the Dodgers seven hits,
and in only one inning was in
danger of being scored upon-the
Dodgers turning this trick by
opening the fifth round with
singles by Wright and Judge.
A try for a double play with
Wright on third base enabled
them to register as Judge was
ruled safe at second on Mungo's
grounder to Myer, which Buddy
tossed too late to Cronin for the
force-out. Mungo was thrown out
on the play as Cronin'S heave got
to Kuhel in time. Meanwhile,
Wright crossed the platter with a
run that didn't mean a thing as
events finally turned out.

TEAM READY
FORCRUC|AL
TEST
BY GARRETT WATERS

During his short career as mana
ger, your newest boy friend, Joe
Cronin, has been accused OF many
things. Most Of the accusations,
however; in fact, all Of them, have
been of the gratifying sort-grati.
flying because he has led his ball
team so smoothly and so capably:
Now Cronin must be credited
with another boost Of judgment.
This time it's about the way the
Griffmen have performed in their
last four or five games.
The GriffS were struggling In
the worst of mires about 10 days
ago when members Of the press
presented themselves to the boy
manager and asked the reasons
why. Cronin, at that moment,
quickly advised that his team was
going through that stage that
every major league club goes
through during the course Of each
training year. that every man
would find himself" soon, and
that the team, as whole, would
smooth off the rough spots and
be ready by the time the opening
gong sounded.
Although the opening Of the
regular season is still several days
off, it can be said the GriffS are
about ready for that initial test.
Rough Edges SmOOthed
They've smoothed off the rough
edges, as Cronin said they would,
and they are truly ready to face
the Philadelphia AS next Wednes-
day for better or worse; be that
as it may, let come what will.
Proof Of this can be cleaned
from the manner in which the
entire team has performed in the
recent exhibition games since the
start Of the latent winning streak,
which streak was not present
and accounted for about 10 days
ago, or when Cronin was accosted
with all those anxious questions.
A brief review of the clubs
record will reveal that the fire
works were set off in that last
game of the three-game series
with the Atlanta Crackers about
five or six days ago. Six runs
were counted in the eleventh in
ming of this particular contest,
assuring a clean-cut victory, and
ever since triumphs have been
rung up with such clock-like regu"
larity that the team has looked
just like the dopseters have
wanted it to look, and this takes
in every performers work from
the regular down to the rookie.
ENCOURAGING No End
I Naturally all Of this is en-
couraging, as it brings out an idea
that the 1888 Griffmen, as they
now stand, will possess that
stamina which will enable them
to carry on from not only the
start of the important campaign
to come but to the very end. Need
it be said here. that Cronin knows
his team and the players which
make UP his team and the way
things should and will shape up
as time unfoldS? Hardly.
The Griffmen have games on
tap with the Buffalo BisonS today
and tomorrow at Griff Stadium.
Monday the exhibition schedule
will be concluded by the pre-
arranged visit of the Baltimore
Orioles. Then will come a day Of
rest before the opening of the
regular season with the Philadel'
phia AS next Wednesday. It
won't be long now, fans,

Joe Turner, WaShington's lone
wrestling promoter. believes that
if last nights match in Chicago
which Joe Savoldi, the former
Notre Dame football star, won
from Jim Londos, was advertised
or ballyhooed as a championship
match, Savoldi today owns the
title.
Turner was of the opinion that
if it was impossible for the title
to change hands as a result of
th3 match, the announcement
should have been made in the
newspapers and in the ring be-
fore the match. 1t is not his
idea that a real champion should
go into any State or the District
of Columbia and surround mis-
title with any special set of
conditions whereby it cannot be
lost as the result of a fair fall.

Turner was willing to stand On
whatever disposition the Illinois
Athletic Commission makes in its
investigation of the match which
Chicago dispatches declare is
under way tonight. Meantime
he had but one communication,
and that from the president CT
