BY GARRETT WATERS

OF course it's a question Tor
wide open controverSy-always
will be for that matter to the older
supporters who have followed the
team for years and years-but
from the way events have shaped
up this spring, the Griffmen's out
field department. promises to be
the strongest since the year Clark
Griffith, genial prexy, first took
over the club back in 1912.
Quite an astounding statement,
maybe, but one that can't be kept
in the background when the
names of Heine Manush, Fred
Schultz and Johnny Stone are
mentioned, and the manner in
which they've performed to date
are reviewed, figured and com.
pared.
First Of all, the trio boast of hit
ting powers very few Washington
outfield combinations have been
blessed in seasons of the past.
Next, each performer is a star

have few equals, while third and

to run the bases. and can throw
quickly and accurately when the
occasions demand such perform.

Fans Like Hitters
Probably the most important
item from the viewpoint Of the
fan is the hitting possibilities Of
the trio.
Well. the 1884 Griff outfield can
hit all right and promises to
demonstrate the fact in many
ways, once the new campaign gets
going next Monday to the tune Of
an opening game between Man.
ager Cronin's gang and the BoS.
ton Red Sox at Griffith Stadium.
Now in fielding, the trio promise
to stack up even better than
others who have patrolled the
outer gardens for the GriffS in
the past.
Stones biggest fielding asset
is his arm. DopeSterS agree that
he possesses one Of the best.
while his ability to 60 after hard
hit flies keeps him among the
leading outfielders every year.
Last but not least is the
run-driving in talent boasted by
all three Of the men. Manush
was the third best run socker
among the Griffmen last year.
while Schultz hit more mates
across than at any other time
in his career. Stones 80 total
