Bv BILL CORUM

Frankly, I was just the least
bit surprised to hear from the
Colonel so soon after the World
Series. You may recall that he
refused to attend the series on
the grounds that it would be
humiliating. He probably would
have made friends by packing
his suit case, sticking out his
not inconsiderable chin, and
putting in an appearance at
least at the first two games in
Detroit.
In that case he would have
looked more like the Terry who
went down swinging with the
jeers Of "a home crowd" in his
ears in the ninth inning of the
final game Of the season at the
Polo Grounds.
Fires Salute
With everything lost save the
Giants uniforms, bats and
gloves, he fired a game guys
salute "a savage, ricocheting
base hit into the teeth of dis
aster and despair. Terry made

phrase as: eye manager is not

But it was typical of Terry
that he should say in his New
Orleans TRADE that the players
were the only ones he cared
about, NEXT TO THE FRONT
OFFICE.
The front office is where they
send out the pay checks.
His solicitude for the esteem
and affection, as Joe Bannon
would say, of the players is also
slightly tainted with the news
which came in the next breath
that they were all on the trad
ing block save two (Hubbell and
Ott). It looks as though Bill
loves the boys so much he can't
bear to have 'em around.

CHARITY CAME

Washington Nationals. local
pro grid team, has rallied to the
charity cause for the Allen B. Will
son family.
The Nationals will play the Irv-
ington Club, of Baltimore, Sunday,
at Griffith Stadium at 2:30 p. m.
The big feature of this contest
will be the low prices that will pre-
vail. Seats will be available any
where in the park for IS cents.

of Throgmorton, vandy's outstand-
ing lineman.
It is possible that G. w., as the
ColonialS did against Tulsa, will
concentrate on the right side of
Vandy's line. In that case, Brown,
Vandy'S right tackle, will have to
prove himself able and agile.
Brown is big and he is powerful.
1t has been said of him, by scouts,
that he commits himself too soon.
If that is so, he is in for real
tough session against G. w.
Vandy's ends are tall fellows.
Geny, of course, will do to ride the
river with. Plasman undoubtedly
is good end. If, however, he
happens to prove a bit slow. Vandy
will have a weakness on his flank,
due in most part to Leeman's 5
great speed, as we'll as to the abil-
ity of Plotnicki, another Colonial
Speedster, to travel the end to
their right.

despised rivals would be held to a
close score at least.
But hardly a moment after the
game commenced, the old RooSe'
welt bugaboo up and hit the Wood
worth-coached lads-and rig h t
square in the face.
1t was another of those bad
breaks. In this instance it came
in the form of a tumble. And the
events which followed turned the
tide so great towards Centrals
way that try as hard as they
might, the Riders couldn't get
themselves completely adjusted
again.
BarOni FumbleS
This fumble-uncorked inauspi-
ciously by Frank Baroni, crack
quarterback-opened the path for
Central's first score. Right End
Kline recovered the ball and
shortly after a fine lateral, from
Dunlap to Richardson, found the
latter in excellent position to
heave a long forward pass to Billy
Vermillion for touchdown.
From that point on, Roosevelt
was licked. Another touchdown
followed before the quarter ended,
when Dunlap heaved to Jones,
while still another was chalked up
in the second quarter when an ad-
vance down the field had Billy
Richardson plunging over from
the 4-yard line.
This loss gave the series many
new angles to discuss today. Pri-
marily, in Roosevelt's stead, it dis
PEELED all, thoughts that. the 95
to 0 setback taken at the hands
of Central was to be avenged.
And next and most important it
offered the sad but a. parent fact
that the Rough Riders won't be

for the other teams in the re-

promising forward passer yester-
day, despite the fact the rest of
his team looked off form. He
was Frank Baroni. This lad
heaved accurately and well sew
eral times, but only once was
there a receiver to grab his
passes.
That receiver was Johnny Ko-
lius, who made a nice catch in
the third, quarter to run rs yards
for RooSevelt's only marker of the
game. This "bit," of course gave
the day an added tinge which
otherwise would have been the

has plyaed an important part
in leading up to Coach Harlow's
announcement today that the four
more seriously injured men Will
not play Saturday. Decision on
the remaining two will come at
the last moment.
The four men who will not play

play on Saturday are Cd Louis

rated w. MS best tackle by a
wide margin, and CD Paul SWie-
ker, fullback, w. MS sensational

The definite announcement that
the first four named will not play
comes as a terrific blow to West

defeated season. .. ...
McNally, 152 pounds of excel

factor in Western Maryland's ex-
traordinary success to date this
season.
Merge, 100 pounds, has punted

defeated by Fordham by only a

Gorski, ITO pounds. all dyna-

is noted for his ability to handle a
defensive tackle.
Blissman was hurt in the w. M

sponded to treatment.

Thus spoke Bill Terry, man.

can't deny that it was spoken

Perhaps we newspaper boys

Vandy's guards, as a general

If Vandy's ends, charging in

Tackles Face Job
If Vandy's tackles, charging in

extra step, they too, will find G.

ularly men like LeemanS, Prather
and Kavalier, difficult to stop on
Spinners, reverseS and fakes off
these plays.
G. w. probably will not do much
with Vandy'S center trio.
To start with, Strayhorn is an
instructive player with great me-
chanical ability. He is Vandy's
great center. Since the guards
play a four.point line and drive
:. in low, they should be able 20 pro-
tect their respective territories.

power on attack. This fact prob
ably will drive G. w. to open play
and play with deception. Power
against power, as q general rule,
places too severe a burden OH the
attack, and the latter gives way
more often than does a defense.
G.. w. probably will depend to
a great extent on Spinners and
reverses, and on fakes off those

undoubtedly knows exactly how

as he can field rings around Cecil
Travis at third base.
Not As Good
Lynn Larry is not as good de-
fensive player as Bluege. More
over, Larry will have to improve
a lot in his hitting to be more
valuable as an offensive player.
Larry is younger in years and
experience, but Bluege is not a
doddering grandfather by a long
shot.
Providing that Cecil Travis
shows real ability as a third
baSeman, the Griffs will have
800 hitter at the far end. Myer
| is a 300 hitter at second base and
Kuhel will hit close to that mark
at first. Bluege hits around .260,
and in a streak year will top
that mark.
Cronin hit .2s7 or thereabout
last season. Now if you talk fig.
ureS, .287 is lot more than .259.
In actual baseball, it means just
two hits in 100 times more for
one than the other. And in the
case of Bluege, if he can hit .259
and cut off 20 enemy hits that
escaped the man he succeeded,
then the percentage is all in his
favor.
Joe Mccarthy in discussing the
value of Mule Haas to the Phila-
delphia Athletics said that Haas
cut off a three base hit every
day, cut off two two-baggerS
every day, and besides all that,
made enough doubles and triples
to render himself thoroughly OBJ
noxiouS to rival teams.
Cuts Off Hits
What is true of Haas is true
of Bluege. He will cut off many
an enemy hit and make many q
double play that might escape less
capable hands.
Lyn Larry, despite his expert
ence as a shortStop would make
goot third baseman. He
worked at the far turn with the
Yankees in spring training and
played several games. His ten
dency to throw blindly has been
conquered to great degree, and
he is clever enough to make q
good showing at the station
where fielders "eithe- do or
don't"
A third baseman handles rela-
lively few balls in a game. Sta
tisticS show that the average is
two and a fraction chances per
nine inning game for the third
sacker. Well, Larry can do that
all right. And if daily play can
get him back on his hitting
stride of 1881 when he drove in
107 runs and led the Yankees in
doubles with a .280 average, we
will have no complaint.
Would Help Travis
Switching Travis to the out
field-and that move is under
consideration - doubtless would
help the boy and prolong his
career. He is a big gangling
kid and his muscles were torn
by the arduouS task OF con.
stantly starting and reversing as
players feinted at buntS and
switched to hit through the in
field or over the incoming third
baSeman'S head.
There is a chance that Chap
man will come to the Griffs this
winter. Let's hope he does.
Chapman is P fast runner, q
great thrower and g. fine out
fielder. He will hit 800, and
under the stimulating influence
of a change of uniform would
sparkle right here in washington.
