way
What made Griffith pick him up in
the first place? 1T was back in '29
that heard about this hard-hitting
kid with the Takoma Tigers" related
Griffith. $50 drove out to the ball
ground on Georgia avenue at the Dis
trict Line one Sunday to have a look
at him.
"All that kid did was bust two
homers, a double, steal three bases
and make the fanciest kind of
catches in the outfield. A strap
ping youngster, he caught my eye,
and he belonged to the Washing
ton club the next day.
When we had him South with us
in 80, though. Powell wasn't so good
at bat. He Spraddled too much at the
Goslln did when he first was with us.
So we shipped him.
Powell waddled through two sea-
sons in the minors before he began to
show anything worth while. Then he
came along remarkably. He might
make our team next year. What a
lead-off batter he would be in the big
league. He's led of at Albany all

Mexico's first claimant to a

(Baby) Arizmendi, came back
to Southern California today amid the
riotous welcome of more than a
thousand countrymen.
While a crowd of shouting senort-
tas and huzzazing hombres jostled
around his train, the bronzed Aztec

to an automobile, paraded through the
streets of the Latin colony and then
feted at huge dance tonight.
Arizmendi, who stole quietly East
last Spring to win the world feather
weight crown as recognized in New
York, Illinois, California and other
points, grinned broadly at the crowd,
which at one time in his fistic CAM
paign here had forsaken him for fail

Nationals curving corps, waved
bye-bye for 1884 to the Browns today
with a creaky, liniment-soaked fin
which even in its healthiest days
rarely functioned more effectively. A
little more waving with bats by Rob-
ert and his Griff cronies completed a
fond farewell from Washington view
point, our side winning, 5 to /.
The triumph served to chisel the
fifth-place lead of the st. Louis gang
to a game and half and enabled the
Nationals TO even the final series at
two tits each.
The Nationals did their serious bat
waving early in the fray, collecting all
hits and runs in the first four innings,
before Irving Hadley and later Bill
McAffee, both of whom formerly wore
the garb of the Washington club, tight
ened and stopped their ex-mates cold,
The Washingtons made only seven
sateties, but every one of these, plus
two of the three miscues committed
by the Browns, figured in the scoring.
Bobby was far more stingy with his
eight bingles.

Bolton looped a Texas Lacquer over

Hemsley failed to earn fielding

to skid by him, but the official scorer,
remembering Hemsley Is a catcher

him with an error. Cliff then checked

exceptions. Dunlap and Sweetser drew
