manipulation Of that screw ball.
One Of the chief diversions
of the Giants in camp is open
ing coconutS with their golfing
irons, and, of course, Mel OFT,
with his mighty swing, is the
champion. He can knock the
fiber covering off the biggest
and toughest coconut in six
swings, which is par.
Must Watch Tigers
The consensus Of opinion
among the Giants as to the
American League race seems to
indicate that the Detroit Tigers
will be the club which will have
to be stopped by Washington.
They do not believe the Red
Sox car be expected to get the
maximum Of teamwork into
their play in one year to be-
come pennant contenders, de.
spite the great number Of stars
with which Boston will enter
the race.
That month in Florida with
the Giants buZzing around him
on every side almost made a Ma
tional League addict out of our
friend Shipp, but not quite.
However, he came back to Wash
ington singing the praise Of
what he termed as great a gang
Of boys as you'd want to know.
And Tom claims one diStinc-
tion-he saw the last ball
caught in the 1898 world series
and he was on the job in
Miami to see the first ball
pitched of the 1884 season
when the Athletics played an
exhibition game with the
Giants on March 9.
ALI Eyes on Bobby
An old, old sports adage is
being put to the test again this
week.
It has to do with former
greats staging comebacks after
long lay-offs.
At Augusta, Ca, Bobby Jones
picks up his clubs for competi.
tive golf after over three years
out Of that particular style Of
play.
Sports precedent says he
hasn't a chance to stage a come.
back, but sports precedent is
reckoning with a very unusual
man when it says "a Bobby
Jones can't come back.
I believe any man who was
golfer enough to win four major
titles in one year-something
that had never been accom-
plished before Jones did it in
1S30-is not one to be eliminated
until he has eliminated himself.
The Augusta tournament
starting today will be the news
center of the sports world
through Sunday, if only for the
fact that Bobby Jones and
Calamity Jane" will be in
there attempting to repeat some
of their joint accomplishments
Of other years.

heavyweight wrestling title claim
of big Jim Browning at the Wash

AS much was divulged by
Turner today following a brief
pow-wow with Browning who
said any referee agreeable to
Turner would suit him. Joe will
not name the third man until
just before the match.
= Jim Doesn't Care
Browning said, in effect:
you're the promoter, Joe,
I'm here to wrestle. You name
the official. I'll Okay him."
Although Turner never dis
closed the identity Of his refer
ees beforehand many today pre-
dicted that despite Dusek's OBJ
lection to Benny, the latter would
be Joe's eventual choice.
That Rude Rudy will extend
Browning as he has never been
extended before locally was freely
predicted today.

Bill Terry Admits
Griffmen Not So Bad
Picks EN- To Win

Despite some of the caustic
comment which Manager Bill
Terry, Of the New York Giants,
had to make about the WASH
ington ball club when he paid
q flying visit here last winter,
he can't think the Griffmen
such a sorry outfit. He has
gone on record this year as be-
lieving that Washington will
be the 1884 American League
winner.
Furthermore Terry is con-
vinced that the Giants aren't
so bad either, as he has Sc
lected the same teams to par
ticipate in the next world series
as took part in the last.
All Of this comes to me first
hand from Miami Beach, Fla,
where Tom Shipp, who beats
the publicity tomtoms for vari-
Gus enterprises, recently spent
a month, living at the same
hotel and generally fraterniz-
ing with Terry, Carl Hubbell,
Mel OFT and the other mem
bers of that cruel outfit which
set Washington back in four
games out OF five of the late
world series.
Says Breaks Helped
Another statement S Terry
made to Shipp. and one in
which Hubbell acquiesced, was
that the Giants got the breaks
in the title set last fall and so
far as I know that is the first
time the Giant manager has
admitted anything but down
right superior playing was re-
sponsible for the outcome.
Shipp went to Florida es-
sentially to play golf, but it
is easy to see that when he
found himself quartered in
the same hotel with the Giants,
his strong leaning for baseball
got the better Of him.
So Brother Shipp comes
away from the Giant strong
hold with some real impress
sions. a few Of which I am
going to pass on to you.
He finds Terry really isn't
loquacious, as many have
painted him, but actually mod
est and considerate. Out on
the ball field Terry is strictly
boss, handling his men firmly
and getting the maximum Of
work from them.
Hubbell Like Walter
Carl Hubbell, too, the hero
Of the last world series, i'm
pressed s. PIP as cal ying his
honors lightly, being as re-
served in his mien as our own
Walter johnson who ever took
his baseball accomplishments
with be .oming grace.
Hubbell'S long, lean fingers
are responsible for the great
control he has CT the ball, &C
cording to Ships observations.
The Giant ace has those
slender fingers which seem to
be able to more than go around

MADRID, Feb. 13.-Armed troops

capital and other Spanish cities today
as the reactionary Lerroux govern

against workers responding to the call
issued by the Spanish Communist
Party for protest strike against the
growing attacks on the toiling masses.
Despite the governments threat of

trade workers in this city continued
their strike today, militantly picket
ing the struck buildings.
Many Socialist workers responded
TO the strike call, despite the sabo-
tagging efforts of the Socialist leaders,
who, while raising deceptive "revolu-
tionary" slogans, continue to act as
q brake on the rising revolutionary
movement, with empty threats of re-
sistance in some vague future against
the reaction.
