That Brooklyn Series

But more important probably
to the average local fan is the
brace of games to follow on
Thursday and Friday with the
Brooklyn club, starring none
other than Washington's pride
and joy, Joe Judge, at that
old first sack.
In the above three exhibi-
tionS, followed by one with
Baltimore and a. pair with
Buffalo, Washington fans will
get a look at all of the former
Griff pitchers as well as the
newcomers. Fans here are right
anxious to see the highly
touted Ed Linke, the former
Davenport sensation, reputed
to be the likeliest-looking young
Ster in camp.
Some bad news is likely to
come to the younger Brooklyn
aspirants during their two-day
sojourn here, this being the

That Star Southpaw

Then there is Joe Strip,
who was the longest hold-out
of the season and the key man
to the Brooklyn infield last
year, as we'll as Hack Wilson
purchased from the Cubs and
who drove in 1913 runs.
The Dodgers also bring with
them the star left-hand pitcher
of the National League, Wat
son Clark. He was the only
southpaw to win 20 games in
1882. He's been with Brooklyn
five years and is rounding into
real use.
Another interesting twirler
on the Dodger staff who may
be seen in action here is young
Van Mungo, a fast ball pitcher
who became a regular starter
his first year up. Mungo's
speed is frequently compared
to Dazzy Vance's, which is
recommendation enough for
any kid twirler.
So, with such an introduce
tion, we again remind you
there is some baseball in store
for you fans this week, particu-
larly in this Washington
Brooklyn series. Brooklyn, you
recall, finished second last sea-
son and it will be interesting
to see what happens twixt that
club and Washington's third
place team-greatly revamped
upwards.
The Washington times., 1933-04-03

In short, it is Griff's plan to
carry the remainder of Manager
Cronin's team to Washington
without any more shifts, and this
means hometown fans will have
their chance to see everybody now
with tho squad, featuring those
two prize rookie hurlers, Eddie
Linke and Bud Thomas.
Farmed On Option
Travis was handed over to the
Chattanooga club last night after
having played full game at third
base for the Griffs during the

Prexy Griff is now trying to find

go, but Chattanooga will not be
his destination, according to the
general opinion.

The Griffs won another ball
game yesterday, socking out Is
hits while turning in an impress

least one hit, with the exception

the third inning took all the
heart out of the contest, from a
Chattanooga standpoint and it
featured doubles by Travis and
Bolton, singles by Harris, Cronin
and GoSlin and a home run by
Schultz, the latter clout with two
men on base.
Lefty Walter Stewart hurled
the first six innings for the Griffs
and because of his big lead, did
not have to work very hard. His
easy pitching enabled the Look
outs to sock his offerings for
eight bingles and four runs, but
even these were not enough to
make it a ball game as Lefty
Petit, of the Engels, was con-

to keep the Griffs safely ahead

fine GAME:

BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. April
3.-Washington fans, who may
believe that the Griffmen are
not so we'll protected at first
base this year with only Joe
Kuhel hanging around can rest
assured that excellent aid Is at
hand in the person of Bruce Con.
natser, who right now is per-
forming one of his best games at
the initial sack for the Chat
tanooga Lookouts.
Bruce is the youngster the
Griffs got from = the Cleveland
Indians last winter in that trade
which sent Harley Boss to the
Tribe for not only 'Connatser
but Jack Russell, pitcher.
A few days after the deal Joe
Engel, generalliSsimo of the LOOK
outs, pleaded with Griff that the
Lookouts just had to have a
first baseman to take Boss place.
Griff showed Connatser to Engel
but on the promise that he could
have him back within "a hours
if injury or illness hit Joe Kuhel,
regular first sacker OF the
GriffS.
Given little chance to work at
Cleveland because Eddie Morgan
was around, Connatser has i'm
pressed no little in his test as a
regular. Some fans even go 50
far as to say he's a better player
than" Boss and that he'll drive
across more runs than the tenn
peramental Harley.
Dependable Player
This is a matter of conjecture,
but the fact remains that Con-
natser is an unusually dependa-
BILE performer and appears as If
he'll be one of those hell do"
guys, if at any time he's needed
by the Griffmen because of an
injury to Joe Kuhel.
ConnatSer is a tall lanky lad
with a good arm, a pair of shifty
feet and an out Of the ordinary
eye for the ball. He's been one
of the Lookouts best hitters to
date and has appeared to best
advantage in the pinch.
Another thing Connatser has
taken on some much needed
weight-an important item that
was lacking in his makeup last
year. With this added pound.
age he's also gained in stamina
and it is the saying that it's just
the thing that'll help him play
day in and day out for the Look
outs this season in their very
strenuous campaign ahead.
The "24-hour" Griff first at
tracted attention in the minors
three years ago when he was with
an American Association club.
Signs With Indians
The Cleveland Indians signed
him in 1880 for the purpose of
giving his Eddie Morgan's place
at first base, but last spring the
latter played such billiant game
in the preseason games that it
was all Connatser could do to get
in even those contests, much less
the many after the regular CAM
paign opened.
The few times he did get the
chance he failed to hit big league
pitching with any degree of con-
sistency and it gave the Tribe
every reason to believe that they
wouldn't be hurting themselves
any by letting him drift away
from Cleveland in that trade last
winter which involved Harley Boss
and Jack Russell.
Connatser is now with Chatta-
nooga, happy that he's playing
every day and happy in the idea
that he'll be ready to step in for
tbs Griffs at any time that they
might need him in the future.
He'll always know he's "a hours
away from the big leagues, but
as long as the Griffs hang on to
him he'll be ready and rarin'
to go.
Thus endeth the lesson on
Bruce Connatser, first baseman.
