looked very impressive as a team.
They went right to work in the
first inning to score two runs
while they added three more in
the later frame to check up a
most well deserved triumph. The
big bats Of Johnny Stone and
Heine .Manush worked success
fully in the first inning to start
that two-run rally while Cronin's
prodigious triple and a long fly
by Kuhel coined a hard earned
run in the third.
Manager Joe's Yannigans were
responsible in part for the final
runs of the day for the American
League pennant winners. They
came in the seventh when Dugas
doubled to left, Sington flied to
left, Cronin walked and Harris
and Kuhel singled.
Bozie Berger, Washington lad,
played second base throughout for
the Indians. He performed in
excellent fashion in the field, but
failed to impress as batter. Wal
ter johnson, however, believes he'll
become a hitter with plenty of
action, and plans keeping him at

: To Cultivate Habit
| OF Hitting the Ball
For Better Averages

League campaign next month
with a little something op the
other teams which are satisfied
to let their pitchers loaf through
their time at bat, either tanning
or making easy outs of them
selves with an eye to conserving
their energies.
Last season AL Thomas was
the best Of the Washington hurl-
ing corps when it came to hit
ting, although AL wasn't in
nearly so many games as were
some of the others. His aver
age was .238 for IS games.
Burke, in 10 fewer games, was
right behind him with .235.
OF the other more active
pitchers on the Griff corps last
year, Whitehill's mark of .222
with the stick was the best, with
Crowder failing for only .186,
Russell for LAT, Stewart for .143
and Weaver for .125.
It hasn't been the custom of
any manager to Squawk on such
generally low batting averages
as those for pitchers-at least
not until Cronin came along to
observe that he is no longer
going to take it for granted his
pitchers won't hit.
Would Upset Tradition
In his second year as a big
league pilot, the young Wash
ington manager is therefore at
tempting to upset a tradition
of the game that it seems al
most impudent to defy.
OF course it will be difficult to
get some of the old timers out
of the habit of just ambling up
to the plate and back again
merely to satisfy the rules Of
the sport that say if a man
wants to stay in the game he
must take his times at the bat.
But if Joe Cronin has his way
about it, his pitchers will learn
something about the art of hit
ting and not be dead weight in
that department of the game.
He wants more pitchers who
hit like Babe Ruth and Sam
Rice did before they became out
fielderS and were known to the
world as that exceptional spe-
cies of ball players who could
cut the heart of the plate with
the ball as well as knock it out
of the infield,
The Washington times., 1934-03-24

Because TO their line efforts,
Prim and Linke are today at
the head of the class among the
rockies. Manager Cronin has
put them there and it is his hope
now that they will "stay put" as
q continuance Of their form will
decidedly make his problem of
finally selecting his pitching
staff for the season ahead just
that much easier.
Prim pitched the first five
innings against the Indians and
pitched them in excellent style.
His speed was all that was to
be desired while his curve and
change of pace kept the opposi-
ton bothered tremendously even
though two runs were scored off
his shoots, the first in the third
inning and the second in the
fifth.
Had Enough Reserve
Singles. by Knickerbocker,
Pytlak and Averill manufactured
this first marker for the Indians.
But even with this bit Of hitting,
Prim had enough in reserve to
keep Walter Johnson'S men from
getting too frisky.
And again in the fitSi., Ray
was able to put on the brakes
after Pytlak had doubled Knick-
erbocker across with two out.
For he "got" Averill on a foul to
Travis for the third out.
Now, Linke's performance could
be said to have been even stronger
than Prim's because the young
righthander held the Indians
scoreless during each of the four
innings he worked. But Linke
showed himself trifle wild in the
eighth when with two out he
walked Averill, and flanked Vos-
mix with q pitched ball. He got
out of the hole, nevertheless. when
Burnett, the next batter, popped
to Elmer Klumpp in front of the
plate.
Curve Under Control
The kid highlander had his
curve delivering in unusual terms
for this early in the year, as many
balls were hit into the ground for
easy put outs while numerous pop
offs made their presence off In
dian bats.
The Griffs, on the other hand,

CrOniII Threatens
Baseball Tradition
Wants His Pitchers

Joe Cronin has answered the
suggestion made some time
back that a tenth man on q
ball club be added for the sole
purpose Of batting for the
pitcher.
Cronin has come out en-
phatically against the type of
pitcher who merely goes to
the bat to go through the mo-
tions-feeling he isn't ex-
pected to produce hits.
He doesn't see why pitchers
shouldn't be hitterS as well and
thereby he defies a rather time
worn and accepted theory in
baseball that a hurler's energy
and power should be preserved
for the mound and that he
should "save" himself at all
other times.
No Stage Fright
Cronin's mind goes back to
some Of the good hitting pitch
ers Of baseball who we're as
valuable to their teams at bat
as they were out there on the
hill. He doesn't see any rea-
son why there shouldn't be
more Walter Johnso: Dutch
Ruethers, Joe Pushes, yes and
George Uhles, all twirlers who
had no stage fright when they
marched up to the plate with
O Bit con.
He can cite, too, such cur
rent cases as Big George Earn
shaw, Lloyd Brown, Yves Fer
rell and Charlie Ruffing, all
of whom get their share of
safeties as they toll at the plate.
Come to think of it Gro
..in's displeasure at pitchers

SERIOUSLY
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, March 24.-France
hasn't a chance to win the Davis
Cup this year.
France probably won't even be
a serious threat in Davis Cup
play for many years.
France will never again win
the Davis Cup unless, and until,
young French players change
their attitude toward the game.
Before you start heaving any
bricks, let me hasten to assure
you those Gloomy Gus senti-
ments aren't mine-they're Henri
Cochet's-and If Henri doesn't
know his French tennis, who
does?
You Know Henri
You know Henri, of course.
And what he, LaCoste, Brugnon
and Borotra did to our very
incest young tennis people. And
how they kept that Davis Cup
for years, until LaCoste grew
sick, Brugnon grew old, Borotra
grew wealthy and Cochet-well,
Cochet decided to quit playing
for expenses and fame, and start
playing for Bill Tilden and good
American dollars.
Well, that's Henri and here he
is talking:
"Our young players like Feret,
BOussus and Merlin, they are
not what you call so hot. They
have not the stuff. 1 do not
see them improve. They are
not SO serious like we were. I
have q fear they will never be
good enough to beat the best"
at is all o question Of the
temperament. BOrOtra, Brug-
non, LacOste and me-we were,
oh so serious. We play tennis
those days like the honor Of
France and even the life hung
on every game. But these young
feIlOws-pouf, it Is to laugh with
them. That way comes no Da-
Wis Cups"
LIKE THE GRAPE
''But maybe . new and q bet
ter crop comes along, is it not
so? Like one year the grape is
better than the other. Maybe
one day the French they will
have a new clan, what you call
the old pep"
"And that gives me to remem-
ber. like to see Jack Craw-
ford and Fred Perry play Tilden
or Vines or Plaa or me. Yes, I
think so. We beat them sure.
"The professional game, it is
the same as the amateur, but
faster and smarter. The head
plays as we'll as the hands and
the feet. And we have the in
centive. The dollar is a big help
for playing fine tennis, is it not
sO?"
Henri, you are undoubtedly cor
rect. The dollar is a great incen-
tive for anything.

BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent


BILOXI, Miss, March 24.-The
first official pruning of the spring
season was exercised by President
Clark Griffith today when he told
Johnny Phipps, rookie infielder.
to start back home, and Fred
Sington, big outfielder, to make
preparations to return to Albany,
Of the International League, from
which club he came.
Said the prexy today:
"That kid Phipps might make
. ball player some day, but he's
too green at this stage in his
career to spend lot of time on.
SingtOn'S case is quite different
in that he's being sent away
mostly because Joe Cambria has
Just sold one of his regular out.
fielders and needs SingtOn back
at Albany to take his place"
Both Phipps and Sington were
to leave camp late today, follow
ing all preparations necessary for
their departure. Phipps will 60
direct to his home while Sington'S
destination will be Barnwell,
South Carolina-the training base
Of the Albany club.
SingtOn's Release
The release of Sington has only
this meaning at this hour. It
tells the interesting story that
Gus Dugas has clinched the extra
outfielder's job with the GriffS
for the season ahead. And Griff
says he will stick unless trade
or purchase can be made later on
for a better outfielder-which
item almost assures Dugas' posi-
ton as few experienced outfielders
can be had at this stage Of the
new campaign.
That Dugas or Sington was to
be cast adrift before the end OF
the training trip was a known
fact here before they reported.
And now that it has happened
to Sington, it can be revealed
that President Griffith and Mana

easy time making up their minds
which to keep.
But they chose to keep DugaS
chiefly because of the little per.
formers greater class and nat
ural ability over the man noun
tain Sington.
Work Proves Class
And the former Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia player has all OF
that. After all is said and done.
particularly as his work in the
more recent drills has proved.
At bat the lad has showed by
far the best form in comparison
to Sington's stance, manner, &C
ton and the like, while in the
field he has offered that impress
sion that he's been decidedly
more "at home" chasing fly balls
than Sington.
However, President Griffith
hasn't given up on Sington and
says he won't because the Lad
possesses enough ability to war"
rant another trial later.
