so, When YaWKey got nome
after the world series, he hunted
his estate from brush to thicKet
for a nice, young fawn, which
he slew and sent to Griff pre-
paid.
The Plot Thickens
Within a suitable time, Yaw-
key called Griff on the long
distance phone and inquired
how he liked the fawn:
"Fine, fine,' said Griff, "the
tenderSt ever stuck a tooth in"
And thus the deal came to
head.
Yawkey parried with the con-
venient comment:
"Well, what's the matter with
the CrOnin deal, too much doe
or not enough dough-"
Both" piped back Griff over
the phone.
Well, how about a quarter
of a million dollars and a five
year contract for Cronin at
$4,000 a year win, lose or
earthquake, and in the future
no more doe but strictly fawn.
Still Time to Trade
While the Optimists party
was tossed for Harris, Griff
glommed the limelight, by be-
coming spellbinder as his lis
teners became spellbound.
Griff gave forth a strong in
timation that he is not licked in
his efforts to rehabilitate the
club.

Reports that Louisiana's King

Jones met with a firm denial to-
day.
II have not been approached

A similar statement came from
Bernie Bierman, coach of the Min

"I know nothing about it,"

Old Fox.
He was undismayed by the
failures of his offers at the ma
jor and minor league sessions
to attract takers.
He admitted the pitching
staff was the department suf-
fering mostly for rehabilitation.
Ghost of 1884
He said the 1884 Griffmen
was the most disorganized ball
club he ever saw-on account
the multiple fractures, abra-
sions and bruises.
He declared Joe Cronin to be
the finest fellow and finest ball
player in the business.
Also that Cronin's sale to Bos-
ton was superinduced by two
necesSities-that of keeping his
domestic and business affairs
from possibly clashing at some
future date and the urgent
need for a lot Of ready cash
around the Washington ball
club.
Griff didn't say the club
hadn't made any money in two
years, but anyone with half an
eye could have seen that.
Also he mentioned that Stan
ley Harris could get more out
of any given group of ball play
ers than any manager he ever
knew, and that if Washington
didn't rap at the door of a pen
nant next year, it would be BE-
cause he, Griff, didn't get Har-
ris the timber with which to
h1ild a winner.

At such time as the case IL
presented formally to the War
Department, it will be handled
in routine manner. Although no
one could be reached by tele-

sponsibility of making a state

cred that no action would be

It might be possible, in the
event that Captain Jones applied
for transfer to more harmonious
surroundings. someone somewhere
would do something. Under ordl'
nary circumstances, tour of duty
similar to that to which Captain
Jones was assigned lasts for four
years.
Stands His Ground
It was entirely like Biff Jones
to forego a Christmas holiday
with his mother here in Washing
ton to fight the thing through
to a finish with Senator Long.
Until The situation down there IN
Baton Rouge reached its crisis.
Biff had planned to come North
on his holiday. But with a battle
on. he decided to stand his
ground.
Captain Jones, by his fighting
gesture in refusing to brook the
interference and insults Of the
Louisiana Windbag, won the SYM

this sympathy and it's influence
may be found to be far reaching.
Finding someone to fill the shoes
of Biff Jones will be just as easy
as finding another Koh-i-noor in

1t is difficult to imagine any
football coach with steel in his
soul and fire in his heart accept
ing a post which it should be
known in advance can only result
in a repetition Of the difficulties
that beset the path of Jones.
Offerings Ridiculous
The stupid mouthings of Long

games definitely stamp him and
fix his place in the football de-
partment of any university and
in any gathering of football men.

Two witnesses, under questioning by
Assistant Corporation Counsel Elwood
Seal, testified they paid Gardner
money to "use his influence" in OBJ
tanning positions for them. Ring con-
tended the charge of operating an
employment agency without license
was unfounded in Gardner's case, as
violation of the law constituted only
the illegal operation of a business

Not Guilty by Judge

Police Court Judge Ralph Given to-

Police Court Judge Ralph Given to-
day dismissed intoxication charges
against Fireman Kenneth L. Martin,
attached to No. "a Engine Co., who
was arrested March 3 near Fifteenth
and H streets northeast.
Judge Given interrupted presenta-
ton of the defense case by Attorney
David L. Riordan to announce that
there cannot help but be a reason
able doubt in any judges mind as to
this mans guilt" after listening to
Government and defense witnesses.
Martin was arrested by Traffic Of
ficer E. H. -Lohr, who testified the de-
tendant was Staggering on the side
walk" and that he "smelled liquor on
his breath" Other witnesses for the
Government testified Martin was stag
gering. but it was later brought out
the fireman had been on sick leave
for several days
DR.. George Farley, police and fire
surgeon, who examined Martin at the
his arrest, said he was not drunk at
that time, talked and acted normally
and there was no odor of alcohol on
his breath. The physician said the
fireman told him he was suffering
from acute indigestion.
Battalion Chief John R. Grove of
the Fire Department and Lieut..
Dennis j. Cullinane, who was in
charge of the ninth precinct station
at the time of Martins arrest, testi-
fed for the defense. They said
Martin appeared sober shortly after
his arrest and Lieut.. Cullinane said
he released the man after receiving
the doctors report.
After Martins release by Lieut. Cul-
linane, Traffic Bureau officials sent
a report to Maj. Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police, pointing out
that Martin had been released con-
trary to police regulations.
The Traffic Bureau report said that,
since the man was arrested by a
Traffic Bureau officer the commander
of that bureau should be responsible
for giving orders for his release.
After Martins release on the night
of his arrest warrant was issued on
the order of Traffic Bureau officials,
causing his rearrest.
