players Of professional baseball.
They all have to yield to a
successor sooner or later and
only too often they take an
active part in rehearsing the
performer who eventually gets
their job.
All in Good Grace
Joe Judge worked long and
patiently with Joe Kuhel with
the full knowledge that it
would be merely a matter Of
time until the younger Joe
edged the older one out Of his
berth.
When this actually came
about there was no bitterness on
the part Of Judge. He took it
with splendid grace and left
the Washington ball club after
a period of 16 years of dis
tinguished playing feeling he
had done all a man could to
leave his position well covered.
I think often these little
incidents Of faithfulness and
loyalty to,a club with which a
player has been long associated
do not receive the emphasis
they should. That is one rea-
son I reflect today on the high
duty to their profession ball play
ers are often required to demon
strate.
A Large Delegation
The Washington ball club has
one of the largest delegations of
unfinished material in it's Biloxi
camp this season that it will
have inspected in years, and
years and years. Since the de-
preston set in major league
clubs have not been carrying the
carloads of players into their
training camps which character
lied their custom in the fat
years of baseball.
Should either Leonard Phil
lips, Mike Radonovich, Steve
Molnar or Mark F'illey, to men
ton the rawest of the hurlers
now receiving inspection, make
the grade within two years, any
investment in them now in the
way of time, trouble and train
ing expenses will be more than
worth while.
They are admittedly outsiders
in the chase to stick but just
how remote are their chances
can only be established by
thorough trials. Among them
there may be a diamond in the
rough, and that goes for Fred
Sington and Gus Dugas, outfield
candidates from Albany bidding
for berths in Mr.. Griffith's pas
ture. The life of baseball is the
new material it develops to sup
plant the old and Washington is
looking at plenty this year.

and challenged them frequently.
The climax came when a woman
jumped to her feet and told the
tormentor he was no gentleman.
That was the signal for rush by
the fans and about q dozen
Swarmed upon the masked man
ager. The quick appearance Of the
police saved him from physical
injury.
Then Stein pinned the ex-
masked marvel with a body slam,
the job requiring Is minutes.
Yet, the eX-masked marvePs man
ager picked an argument with
Stein, who was perfectly agreeable
to settle things then and there but
cooler heads intervened.
whistle Saves Dusek
Rivalling this duel for thrills
was the draw between Ernie
Dusek and Joe Savoldi, which
lasted 30 minutes. Savoldi's foot
ball "drop-kick" felled DuSek often
and the latter was on the verge OF
being counted out when the whistle
sounded to end the match. The
crowd, which exceeded 5000, the
largest of the current indoor sea-
son, was predominantly in favor
Of Savoldi.
Rude" Rudy Dusek, oldest and
most experienced of the House of
Dusek, defeated the veteran Joe
Malcewicz in SO minutes in the
feature match, which also kept the
fans on their toes. Emil Dusek,
youngest of the Duseks appearing
on last nights card, earned a
draw with Marshall Blackstock,
while Hans Steinke put away
Scotty McDougall with body
slams after 16 minutes.

peculiar and distorted way. The final

At one time in this particular game
the Dir threw his bat for a clean
single over Johnny Vergez's head. At
another time, he threw it so violently
into his own dugout that the bludgeon
wounded Jack Rothrock in the tibia.
The New York fans sighed and tapped
their heads significantly, Then they
glanced out toward the bull pen,
where brother Paul was toIhag, and
repeated the gesture
There's that young Daffy Dean, "
said one of them. The whole family
must of been raised in nuthatch. "
This is the kind of reasoning which
has blghted Paurs reputation for
sanity, Most of the cash customers
are convinced. simply because Paul
follows Dizzy around and guides him
in a gentle, hulnoring way, that the
young guy is q ttntype OF his eceen-

They did not function then as q
