Griffith Has Great Field From Which Select Neu Leader of Naonak
MAY TAKE OVER
WHEEL HIMSELF
Harris, Ruth, Johnson Judge,

as P0tentiaIS.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

u NE OF base balls most prom
inent figures will step into
the managerial shoes from
which joe Cronin was oustec
today because the Washington club
found it necessary to get out of the
red by selling a pennant-winning pilot
after year of failure.
Clark Griffith even might assume
the dual role of president and man
ager of the Nationals.
The field is wide open. Griffith has
a tried and proven flock from which
he may pluck new manager.
There's Stanley Raymond Harris,
who leaped from Pennsylvania mine
breakers job to become the Capitals
first fag-winning leader back in 1924
Griffith always has had spot in his
heart for Bucky, although he fired
him summarily after a dismal season
in 1928. And Harris is Washing
tonian these days, a factor that might
induce Griffith to make a play for the
restoration of the Nationals to the
popularity greatly decreased in the
last season.
There's George Herman Ruth, the
busting Babe of the Yankees who has
announced he will not participate fur
ther in base ball except in man
agerial capacity in the big leagues.
The Babe hasn't a chance to grab
the pilots post with the New York
club. Jake Rupert, owner of that
outfit, has broken with the Bambino.
And it's dollars to doughnutS that
the American League wouldn't let its
great drawing card of the last decade
drift to the National League.

Weeks of Negotiating.

EVEN with all his means and his
T. willingness to part with huge
chunk of it, Yawkey had to
spend many weeks to effect the pur-
chase, however.
His idea (and it certainly seems a
good one) was that getting Cronin
to bolster his infield and lend his
inspirational talents to running the
team on the field would assure a pen
nant at Fenway Park next season.
The young New Yorker, who put the
American League back on the base
ball map in Boston last season
through the liberal expenditure OF
cash for talent and a new pilot, in
the person of Bucky Harris, fell short
of the mark he was aiming at. land
ing only fourth place, principally be-
cause Lefty Grove, who cost something
like $125,000 in a deal that also in
volved the exchange of other players
with the Philadelphia club, had trou-
BILE with his famous pitching wing.
Yawkey. however, had made
progress and was determined to
make more, and Cronin's acqui-
SitiOn is the result, but 1t was
achieved only after a series of
phone calls, exchanges Of tele-
grams and personal confer
ences that started before the
recent season ended.

Yale, beaten once but coming along
fast, as witness the 37-0 rout of

by Jack Buckler, seem to have far
the better running attack, but must
beware of that demon passer. Jerry

Army.

but Minnesota here, but the Gophers
will have to keep Oze Simmons and
Dick Crayne well covered and keep
their own game at the same high
level that overcame Pitt.

Here's the logical spot for one of the.
seasons outstanding upsets. but its.

perience served thousands Of men,
women and children in and about
Washington. And he says:
Like ones teeth, ones eyes
should have periodical examina-
ton. This applies to wearers as
well as non-wearers of glasses. :"
Priced Gift
Teeth, when lost, may be re-
placed with artificial plates and
give the wearer comfortable serv-
ice, but unfortunately science has
not yet found q way to compen-
sate a person for complete loss Of
vision. Therefore, eye sight is a
precious gift to be guarded. One
who has been blessed with good
eye sight should prize it above
everything.
However, much may be done
for, the person who needs correc-
ton, TO increase the efficiency OF
vision.
Many suffer headaches, dizzy
spells, ETC.. that are caused by
eye strain and other warning
symptoms. They see poorly but do
not realize their handicap. To
such people, properly adjusted
glasses open up a new world.
Check Up Urged
''WearerS of glasses should
check up at least every year to
see If changes are advisable.
Non.wearers should have ex
aminations to detect possible
trouble in time.
New eye glass styles are. hand

tract from, personal appearance

The latest styles are shown in

beauty.
Standard Names
It is the movement, however,
which the purchaser will want to

Of good watches are a practical

George Tobey, who has charge
Of the Matchmaking Department

Quality First
Therefore" he said, lit is APP

should consider quality first Of
all, and, too, once he purchases
the watch, it should receive the
same care that he would give his

ROTATION
USES PROVEN

CIARKSDALE, Miss. GN.S0.
On 30 acres of farm land which
never had a previous yield above
$50 an acre, John Frances, tenant
farmer, has found complete live
nhood and 5000 for a seasons
work. His success was the result
Of crop rotation and practical
management.
Frances started on the road to
financial security in 1882, when
he planted his acres in vetch.
Turning that crop under during
the spring of 1888, he set out 20
acre; in long staple cotton, 10 in
corn and food crops.
OF the 80 cotton bales which he
produced, he kept 20 and paid the
remainder to his landlord as rent.
One-third of the so bushels OF
corn which he raised went to the
landlord. The rest were his.
simultaneously, the women of
his mily raised an excellent gar
den, and canned an ample amount
of vegetables and fruit for the fol-
lowing winter. There was enough
corn and alfalfa for the COWS and
the two mules. Frances sow gave
birth to litter of 10.
Of his family of seven, six men
and women were working. These
inclu ed his father, his wife's
mother, and three sisters. Only a
small boy, whose age did not per.
lit it, failed to put his shoulder
to the task.
