BEST in League"
CT THINK Werber is the best infield.

er in the American League" the
old gentleman continued. More
over, always wanted to see local
boy make good on my club. Here's
one in a lifetime and he's playing
with the Red SoX."
How about the young fellow Wash
ington just sent to Boston? How does
Werber compare with him?
Well" Griffith mused, Joe Cronin
is one of the greatest infelders in
the game. But Werber is faster,
younger and you saw what he can
do at bat last season. 1 think he
has all of them skinned in our
league"
Bucky Harris had much to do with
Werber's success at Boston after a
mediocre start with the Yankees, says
Griff. Bucky Strengthened him out
at bat and quickly saw what was
wrong with Werber in the field by
shifting him from shortstop to third
base. Bills crime at shortstop was
that he was too fast; he overran balls.
HaZ he not been promised to
New York while still at Duke,
Washington would have grab
bed him. Griff secuted him at
Maryland one day and was
impressed, but all was lost when
it was learned the Yanks al

Harry Mehre on Alabama.
"ITOW good is Alsbama?" I asked
Harry Mehre, Georgia's coach,
Who ought to know from con-
else contact evidence
II felt that we were playing high
class foot ball." he said, every time
we got back as far as the line of
scrimnage. When we picked up as
much as 2 yards l felt my backs were
beng shaken loose and running wild.
In my opinion, Alabama is one
Of the best teams I've seen in long
time. In the first place, it's a big
team. In the second place, it's fast
one. In the third place, it has more
finesse, more offensive versatility than
Alabama used to have.
alabama has two of the best
ends in the c0untry-and a line
charge that is murderous. In
addition to Howell, one of the
best backs you'll see anywhere
kicker, ball carrier, blocker and
passer-there are Riley and sew
eral more who keep breaking
through.
Frank Thomas has quicker and
faster moving material than he has
had before, and this makes a differ
ence. Alabama. like Minnesota, Pitt
and Stanford, can keep feeding them
in-and they all look about the same
all big-all fast-all foot ball play
ers I suppose it can oe done, but I'll
take my hat off to a team that can
trim this Alabama outfit. That's how
good they look to me. I'd say it's the
best team south of the old Mason and
Dixon line, and as good as any that
happens to be north Of It. And I'm
not barring anybody"
This viii be a marvellous Winter for
arguments you happen to like
arguments.
You can look at it from this angle
If you care to extend the debate:
So far Minnesota has had one tough
team to beat-Pittsburgh.
Alabama has had one tough team to
beatcTennessee.
Stanford has had two tough teams
Santa Clara and Washington, get
ting one tie.
Princeton has had no out
standing team, with Washing
ton and Lee beaten 13 to o by
West Virginia and 26 TO 0 by
Navy.
Which is another way of saying
that none of the leaders has run
across many of the headliners. Min
nesota did the best job in beating
Pittsburgh. But Minnesota didn't
have to face Ohio State, Illinois or
Purdue with Purvis in shape)
Princeton didn't have to face Pitt,
Navy, Army or Colgate in the East
Alabama had no clash with Rice, S.
M. U. or L. s. U. None of the lead
ers has beaten two strong, top-notch
teams, unless 1t happens to be Rice,
which beat Purdue, Southern Metho-
dist and Texas. But Purvis wasn't
playing against Rice.

Sure Powell, Bolton Will Do.

10 CONFIDENT are both the
bosses that Jake Powell, the former
Capital sandlotter. is primed for
a big league berth in the outfield, after
five years of seasoning in the minors,
that they readily will put Schultz on
the block.
And Harris as firmly believes that
Cliff Bolton at last is big enough to
fill a major league catcner's shoes.
Bottoms startling performance behind
the bat, after joining the Nationals
following a prolonged holdout the past
season, so greatly impressed the new
manager he feels the club could easily
dispense with SeWeus services.
Perhaps Harris judgment in this
case Is somewhat influenced by re-
ports from the South that Sam Hol-
brook, backstopper bought from Chat
tanooga, has fully recovered from an
injury that put him out of COM
mission late in the Southern Associa-
ton campaign and will be quite fit
for use next year. A clever receiver
as well as good hitter this youngster
is expected to make capable under
study to the surprising Bolton.
The Washington bosses might look
further and fare worse as they comb
the Nationals ranks for promising
trading material. Schultz is a depend
able hyhawk and dangerous hitter
with several more years of good base
ball ahead of him. SeWell still is
regarded one of the headiest catchers
in the profession. On the market,
they should fetch good returns.

Lauds Whitehill, Manush.

TTARRIS has nothing but praise
for Whitehill and Manush and
does not see how the Washing
ton club could spare either. White
hills temperament, that has made the
left-hand pitcher a subject of severe
criticism frequently around the Ameri-
can League, is nothing to cause
manager any worry, Harris holds.
After all, he's high-class pitcher"
said Harris today He not only has a
world of natural ability, but also
pitching head. I know plenty about
his temperament, for he was with me
in Detroit four of the years I man
aged there. Whitehill is an earnest
player, a fighter when he's out on
that hill, and I like that. He's the
kind of pitcher the Washington club
needs.
Nor am I bothering about those
wabbly legs Manush had the past
season." Harris went on. He had
trouble with his legs before and got
over it. He looked pretty good to
me in the field, despite those legs.
And how he can hit Heinie would
look much better to me batting for
the NaClOndlS Cld1 against Cne1n
It seems unlikely that Walter Stew
art, southpaw slabman, who had an
Indifferent season, will be shipped.
Harris opines that Wally still has
sufficient to makes him a clever once
in-awhile pitcher, if not a regular
turn one, and would be handy to have
around. And the new manager also
intimates that Bob Burke, the string
bean southpaw, will be retained and
get frequent chances on the mound
next year.

Werber." Harris praised Werber as
the best third baseman in the game" 3"
Not to be outdone, johnson declared
If the Cleveland club he manages could
get werber I'VE would win the pen
nant."
Griffith asked the packed hall not
to expect too much of the Nationals
under Harris next year, pointing out
that most of the new managers efforts
would be directed at rebuilding the
club. But am confident that he'll
give Washington a great ball club in
another year or two" the Nationals

Earl Whitehill nor Heinie
Manush will be sacrificed as Bucky
Harris, once again at the Capital
clubs helm, strives to make the Ma
tionals better band.
This was decided in the first con-
ference between Clark Griffith, presi-
dent of the ball club, and Harris
after the latter's appointment to the
managerial post, although neither has
admitted it.
Both Harris and Griffith agree that
bolstering of the pitching staff Is
imperative if the Nationals are to
make any worthwhile headWay in
the American League pennant race
next year and that the club cannot
well afford to part with much OF its
present mound material.
But it is understood they are pre-
pared to angle for pitching prospects
with such veterans as Fred Schultz,
outfielder, and Luke Sewel, catcher,
as bait, in addition to parting with
some of that wad of cash that came
to the club by the sale of Joe Cronm,
former manager, to the Red SoX.
After careful consideration, the pres
ident and manager concluded there
was nothing else in stock that might
tempt major or minor dealers to give
up talent regarded as likely to help
the Nationals.
So down to Louisville next week
will 90 Griffith and Harris, all set to
dangle before the eyes of the moguls
attending the annual minor league
sessions, this pair of veterans with
more than faint hopes of cooking up

seems finally to have edged Benefield
out of the starting assignment after

fanker has been impressive in every
chance given him to perform, playing
especially well against L. S. us hard
running attack.
Coach Pixlee intended this after
noon to conclude his teams hard work
for the game by sending the varsity

at pass receiving and are excellent
blockers according to word obtained
from the Cardinal scouts. A pair of

the tackle situation. They are Leroy
Everette and Hank Swartzkopf.
The guard positions are sewed up

ny WAY of introducing the
x local boy who made good
at a Y. M. C. A. jamboree
last night, Bucky Harris,
speaking from a diminutive
stage, jocularly remarked:
IF Mr.. Grifith wants to do me
another big favor, wish he would
take hunk of that Boston cash and
buy me Bill Werber"
Grif was sitting in the front row
of the audience, but the light was
dim, so you only could imagine the
old gentleman's pink visage turning
pinker.
But if you did imagine blush,
as we did, then you don't know
the Washington club president as
well as you thought you knew him.
Worth Every Dime.
n ECAUSE an hour later, standing
r. in a corner away from the
crowd, he pulled one of those
fat Griffith cheroots from his pocket,
and soberly volunteered:
You heard what Bucky said about
Werber? Well, buying him is out of
the question, of course, because Tom
Yawkey isn't going to let Werber go.
But if 100000 would get Werber,
he'd be playing for Washington next
season"
1t sounded so different from the
popular conception of Grif that the
spiel had all the earmarks of a gag.
One hundred "grand'-whew!
But Griffith obviously was seri-
Gus. II mean that" he said. In
all the years I've been in base
ball I have been willing to pay
that much money for a player
only once. Back in 1912 I wanted
to buy Ty Cobb for 100000.
Werber is worth every dime of
