Watching the very credtable performance of First Base
Joe Kuhel here of ate have been doing little
thinking-wel if weren't thinking should any Of you
take exception to that statement at least ponder
inghow much credit the former Kansas City player de-

decades, Joe Judge
When Kuhe showed up around this section both in 1880
and 1881 the public would have parts of him. He

The Washington times., 1933-05-19
Greatly Improved

Meanwhile, the young man
seemed to stand the gaff of both
the public and press very we'll
and withal improve in his work
to such an extent that there is
none now who won't admit that
Joe Kuhel is practically every
thing that could be desired in
the way of a first baSeman.
Unless you've ever had to fol-
low a big star in whatever pro-
feSSion you happen to pursue,
you really don't know what max
ing good means. The fellows
who have to fill the shoes of the
RuthS and the Judges and the
JohnSonS and other aces of
baseball actually have their
work cut out for them.
Kuhel came here to play first
base with two strikes on him.
He was the ugly duckling, the
awkward kid who would never
do. With such phrases ringing
in his ear and such words
dancing before his eyes nearly
every time he picked up a news
paper, he was undiscouraged
and more determined tnan ever
to make us all eat those words.
There's hardly a game now
but what he knocks those ex-
pressions right down our very
throats, and we, for one, glory
in his spunk and accomplish
ments.

The most important games of
the season, thus far, are sched-
uled for this Sunday in the De-
partment Store Baseball League.
Lansburgh's, at present leading
the race with three wins in as
many starts. will clash with The
Hecht Co. on Monument Lot dia-
mond No. 3 at IL o'clock.
In the other contest Kanns and
Palais Royal, both of whom are
tied for the cellar berth, will meet
on diamond No. 4 at the same
time.
The Lansburgh Hecht affair
should be a real battle from start
to finish. In the opening contest
between these two teams, Lans-
burg'S managed to exc out a 4
to-3 win after being blanked for
seven innings. Since that time
the present leaders have also dis
posed of the other two teams.
However, the Hecht nine on the
basis of its play in the last two
scheduled games has clearly
demonstrated that they have the
power to put an end to Lans-
burgh's winning way.
Irving Bowman will undoubted-
ly again get the pitching nomi-
nation from Manager Keller,
while Fred Berry or Paul Mes
sink will most likely fling for the
Hecht team.
The Kann-Palais Royal game
should also prove very interesting
as each nine is anxious to climb
at the expense of the other.
1t is possible that Earl Bow
man will do the mound honors for
Palais Royal, inasmuch as their
other Fingers have so far failed
to produce. Bob Wallach, who
gave Lansburgh's plenty of trou-
BILE last week, or Reds Sproul, are
in line for pitching duty in the
Kann outfit.

HOPKINS PRIME .HECHT TOSSERS
FOR MARYLAND TEST LEADERS

With the return of Moco Mer-
riken to duty, the Johns Hop
kins University lacrosse team has
been pronounced fit for its i'm
portant engagement with Mary
land University tomorrow after
noon on Homewood Field in Bal
timore at 2::30 o'clock. The ma
tional collegiate lacrosse cham
pionShip hinges on the outcome
of this game.
Neither Maryland nor Hopkins
has tasted lacrosse defeat this
spring and both will strive might
lily to keep their records free of
blemish.
Hopkins admittedly fears Cor
don c'Willie'D Pugh, Maryland's
All-America center. The Blue
Jays don't want to let this Pugh
fellow get the ball, because he's
like a tornado when on attack.
With Pugh leading the way,
Hopkins will be hard put to stop
the attack certain to be loosed
on its goal by Skippy Faber,
Norwood Sothoron, Leonard Rom
bro, Smoky Bill Wood, George
Hockensmith and Rufus Vincent.

Profits by Experience

Right now Joe Kuhel is play
ing a lot of baseball for Wash
ington and he is an important
phase of the spirit of youth
which has infected the infield
over the past seven weeks. He's
improved in like degree to the
consistency with which he has
been in the game.
Naturally he couldn't come
around very fast when he was
Second-fiddling Joe Judge; but
when Judge got out of the pic
ture through injury and illness,
Kuhel took hold of things and
surprised the skeptics and the
critics.
Oddly enough, Kuhel doesn't
take all the credit for the spot
in the sunlight he now occupies.
He gives much of it to Joe
Judge, who ever coached and
encouraged him and helped him
over many of his little faults
around the bag.
II watched Joe Judges every
motion all the time 1 was on
the BENCH" declared Kuhel land
/ should have had to be a very
dull pupil, indeed, had 1 not
prOfited from the grace and ex-
pertness he showed in his foot
work around the bag.
"If 1 can ever even approach
Judges marvellous fielding I'll
consider every minute of the
long, tedious climb thereto more
than worth the time it took me
to gain a regular berth with
the Griffmen."

VET HITTING
BALL HARD
AND WIDE
By GARRETT WATERS

Officials of big league ball clubs
always hope to capitalize on
trades they make during the
winter months-or at any time
for that matter-when they make
these same said transactions to
strengthen this or that depart
ment of their teams personnel.
Your Uncle Clark Griffith, pres
ident of the Washington Griff.
men, pulled off most interesting
deal last December-yes, one Of
the many put over by this prexy
and it brought Luke Sewell to
the GriffS in exchange for Roy
Spencer.
Since then Griff has probably
held the thoughts that all club
owners hold after making a trade,
that of whether he was going to
capitalize or get the better of the
transaction with SeWell in the
Griff. lineup instead of Spencer.
So far, the Griffs have gotten
all the better of the deal as the
records will prove. Sewell has
outhit Spencer almost two to one,
while his complete team play in
all due respect to Spencer, has
proven a boon to the Griffs NOR
ale from the first inning of every
game to the last.
Outfits Spencer
An interesting comparison on
the trade was offered in the re-
cent Griff-Indian series which
ended only yesterday. Spencer
appeared in two of the three con-
tests of the set and was able to
collect but one hit in something
like nine trips to the plate.
SeWell was the Griff catcher in
all three engagements and in every
one supplied hits which meant
runs, taking the first contest of
the series to slap out five.
Yesterday Luke came up in the
fourth inning With men on Sec
ond and third and the Griff5 one
run behind at the time. EIeasur-
ing Oral Hildebrand. Clevelands
mainstay pitcher. cody. the back
stop came through with a slash
ing double to right which easily
drove across the two runs and put
the Griffs ahead, to 2.
In the sixth the veteran again
filled the bill by singing to right
after Myer had opened the frame
with a bingle to center. This
base hit enabled the Griffs to coin
another much-needed run, as
Whitehill followed a few mo-
ments later with a fly to Porter,
on which Meyer scampered across
the plate from third after the
catch. The rally" put the Gritfs
ahead once again, as the Indians
had tied the score only the in0ing
before at A when VosmIk hi
homer into the left field stands.
Work Is Good
It would seem from all this
that Your Uncle Clark Griffith
has been truly capitalizing on
this player so far this season.
Luke's work in the Cleveland
series has offered an excellent
example while if any more ideas
or items are needed to bring
out how we'll the backstop has
been playing, his efforts both
afield and at bat during the re-
cent trip out West, speak louder
than any collection of words
that could be uttered.
In his appearance at bat
against the western clubs, SeWeu
had an unusually happy time.
In the st. Lous series he gath
cred five out of six hits in the
one game and followed it up
by socking out four bingles in
five trips to the pan the very
next day.

D, c, SPEED-NAD,
SAYS EXPERT

More than half Of washington
motorists exceed speed limits in
the District. w. A. Van Duzer,
traffic director, told the trans
portation committee of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce yes
terday.
The figures were obtained from
traffic checks made in various
parts Of the city and were cited
to show difficulties which may be
expected if speed limits were to
be further reduced, as requested
in a letter from c. Phillips Hill,
a member Of the committee.
Hill also suggested that officers
be stationed on arterial highways
and Massachusetts, Avenue circles
instead of in downtown areas and
that speed of machines making
right turns be limited to five miles
an hour.
Van Duzer cited sections of the
local regulations which give pc
destrians right of way over cars
making turns at controlled inter
sections and said that the police
are endeavoring to enforce all
safety measures.
w. A. Roberts, assistant cor
poration counsel, stated that bills
have been drafted which propose
replacement of the coroner's Of
flee with a medical examiners de-
partment and to require financial
responsibility of drivers.

MORRIS DEAT H
IN \. !. HOTEL. .
PROBED
Believed to Have Taken Life
in Leap; Had Gone to City
to Visit CartooniSt

New York police today are in
vestigating the death Of Miss
Virginia Morris, 80, Of the 300
block Somerset Pl. N. W., who
either leaped or fell to her
death from the eighth story Of
the Peter Stuyvesant, fashion
able New York hotel, before the
Mortified eyes of hundreds of
spectators.
Kicking loose from a friend
who desperately pleaded with
her not to jump, her screams
as she crashed to the pavement
attracted the attention of the
New York throngs passing be-
low.
According to the police theory,
Miss Morris, who works in q
Washington department. store,
leaped to her death after a
quarrel with a friend, who had
invited her to New York and
then left the city for a visit
to Garrison-on-the Hudson.
The police theory is based on
a telegram found in her room.
The wire was sent to her in
Washington by Ad Carter, noted
cartooniSt.
Miss Morris lived here with
her sister, Mrs. Helen Hutchin-
son. Information was withheld
at the Hutchinson home, but
it was learned the body will be
taken to Richmond, Va, for
burial,
