The novelty Of seeing Jimmy

campaigner, Joe Malcewicz, every
bit as smart, speedy and expert
enced, will be the inducement
offered at Washington Audito-
rum tonight when Promoter Joe
Turner features one of his out

That Malcewicz will extend
Londos to the limit from the
starting signal tonight is conceded
by mat followers here. An ag-
gressive and tireless worker whose
reputation as a giant killer has
endured for better than Is years,
the Panther man appears in a
primate position to surprise gorge
Gus Jimmy with a whirlwind ex-
hibition.
The semi-finaling of Rudy Du-
SEX and popular Sammy Stein
should have it's moments. Making
his first appearance locally in
more than year, Stein will be a
sentimental favorite to cop.
Thirty minute limits also should

NAT FINGERS
TO HUSTLE
FOR JOBS
BY GARRETT WATERS

On the surface, one could al
most be led to believe thereW be
no battles for positions among the
Washington Griffmen this spring,
once the entire team is gathered
at Biloxi, Miss, the well known
shrimp town.
But a second glance will reveal
many anxious campaigns" will be
conducted by aspiring candidates,
and these will prevail in every de-
partment of the teams makeup
The pitching staff comes first.
Here will be found several Dung
sters endeavoring to break in on
the lineup Of veterans on hand.
and the battles in the offing
promise to be among the most
interesting events during the en-
tire grind.
Not So Sure
Ray Prim, Eddie Linke, Ed
Chapman, Leonard Phillips and
Mark Filley will be the young
sters not so sure of their future,
but willing to fight their heads
off for permanent jobs. Then
there will be Alec McColl, the
rookie.veteran, and Bob Burke,
whose status will be dangerously
pressed up to and before the prura-
ing knife Is slashed.
The infield will find three men
battling for posts-Cecil Travis,
Bob Boken and Johnny Phipps.
The first named will be after
Ossie Bluege's third-base post.
Phipps will be out to impress
Bosses Griffith and Cronin he
has big-league possibilities, while
Boken will hit, run, slide and
throw to show the world that he
is better than Travis and PhippS,
and if Bluege is to be supplanted
by somebody, he will be that
somebody.
Then there is the catching sit
uation. Luke Sewel and Moe
Berg are supposed to hold the
upper hand in this department,
and probably will continue to
rule the roost by the time the
season commences, but the
youngster Cliff Bolton will be
around every moment to show
he's much improved over last
year, and fully capable Of han
ding the regular job. If only
given the opportunity.
Outfield Situation
The outfield situation will find
Gus Dugas and Fred Sington
battling for the vacant extra out
fielder's job with the club. Neither
of these youngsters are on the
regular Griff pay roll, as the dope
tells they are the property OF the
Albany club Of the International
League.
Even so, the pair will wage a
merry fight for the position, as a
big league job will be the most i'm.
portant achievement in the world
to the successful performer.
That's the crop, fans. And what
battles should rule. But, after ALL
isn't it one of the events which
make every training season inter
esting? The regulars will tell you
such at any rate.

of lawyers to untangle, have
been brought about as q result
of activities foreign to the ring.
His acting, good or bad, has
made him associations which
were not all friendly or loyal.
If he's going to be a fighting
man, the best thing for him to
do is to show some signs Of
activity in that direction.
If he's going to use his gloves
only to advance his theatrical
career, bouncing back to the
ring occasionally to enhance
his value as an actor, he's plan
ming a course which has never
proven profitable.
Max Baer has reached the
point where he's got to decide
what he wants to be-fighter
or actor. Evidently he's made
up his mind. Hope so!
Foxx and FerreI
The cases Of Jimmy Foxx, Of
the Athletics, and Wesley Fer
rell, Cleveland pitcher, each dis
satisfied with the offers he re-
ceived from his club, are quite
opposite.
Every baseball fan wants to
see Foxx get his price, because
on the basis of his 1888 per.
formance he doesn't rate any
cut at all. Foxx'S war club was
swinging with precision and
potency all last summer.
On the other hand, Yves Fer
rell fell off considerably in the
number of games won and lost,
and in his case the Cleveland
Indians have some justification
in giving him a modest guaran-
tee with a rising scale based on
increased victories.
Ferrell has a chance to sign
for $4,000 outright, with $2,5O0
additional in case he wins IS
games and an additional $2,5O0
if he wins 20. That sounds fair
enough. If he continues to balk
on this guarantee and commits
sion form of pay which he is Of
fered, he won't get q great deal
of sympathy from the fans.
They know times are tough,
even If Ferrell doesn't.
