1884 To Tie Years
LajOie, Wagner Played.

he has had so many baseball
lives, cheating retirement and
discard so often, there is no
telling whether the end of the
baseball trail is yet in sight for
him.
He was supposed to be all
washed up as far back as 1925
when he broke his right ankle
in an exhibition game out in
California but he was back to
play half the season and also
grab the managership of the
Cubs. Waivers were asked on
him at the end of the season,
but he wasn't through yet.
The next year saw him with
the Brooklyn. club where he
broke three ribs and was back
playing his position two days
later. He was released by the
Dodgers, but refused to admit
his playing days were over, open
ing the 1927 season with the
Rochester club and finishing
with the st. Louis Cardinals
where he also performed in
1928.
Since 1929 he has been with
the Braves, the team with which
he spent eight full campaigns
starting in 1914. His escapades
up until the time he swore off
the fire water some six years
ago were enough to finish many
a less tenacious soul.
Many Escapades
But a double fracture of the
leg at the age Of Al may be
something the great Rabbit
can't dismiss so easily as he did
many of the set-backs he suf-
fered while he was a younger
man.
Could he have avoided his
latest accident and played
through 1884 Rabbit would have
equalled the longevity records
for continuous playing held by
Larry Lajoie and Hans Wagner
and being tied this year by Babe
Ruth-21 years.
There have been two widely
circulated versions as to how he
came by the nickname of Rab-
bit. One story has it that his
excessive speed earned him the
pSeudonym and another that
his rather generous ears
brought him the moniker.
From his hospital bed in st.
Petersburg he says he isn't
through with baseball and
scores and scores of fans the
country over are hoping he's
right.

MONTE HURLS
IN GREAT
STYLE
By GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

Times SLaII Correspondent
BILOXI, Miss, March 31.-"Are
you ready, Monte?"
"Sure, I'm set to go right now if
they want me TO-"
The conversation was between
Moe Berg, veteran catcher, and
Prof. Monte Weaver, former Balti-
more Oriole hurler, who has been
with the Griffmen two full sea-
sons.
Moe and Monte were warming
up on the Sidelines prior to
Weaver's entrance into the box for
batting practice. The occasion
was yesterday during that very
long drill which Manager Joe
Cronin had on program for the
day.
Weaver stepped to the mound
a few moments later and proved
to his teammeate, Berg, that he
meant what he said when he pro-
nounced himself "set."
The young right-hander opened
up as per Cronin's instructions to
every pitcher before the practice
put each of his pitches where he
wanted 'em to go and otherwise
conducted himself like it was mid"
season and an important game
was at stake.
Great Exhibition
Happily enough it was a great
exhibition by Weaver-much OF
whom is expected this year. After
his programmed 20 minutes on the
mound, Monte stalked off, drip
ping with perspiration, but he did
not appear Gagged out" by his
efforts, such as was let passed ur1-
noticed last spring when some
thing that nobody in camp knew
about.
It was this ailment, y'know.
that put Weaver on the shelf
shortly after the start Of the 1888
season, which ailment kept Monte
from being helpful to his club
until the latter part of July when
all of a sudden he was cured.
But even at that stage, the
North Carolinian's efforts proved
boon to the Griffs as at the
time they were fighting desper-
ately for the pennant and every
triumph counted.
Trims Yankees
He started by trimming the
New York Yankees in the Yankee
Stadium the day after Earl White
hill had gained the Griffs their
first victory in the series which be-
gan when the McCarthymen
copped a double-header.
He pitched excellent ball, so ex-
cellent that a streak was started
that didn't end until 10 victories
had been recorded by his name by
the hour the season ended.
This year Griff chieftians are
hoping that Monte will begin
right where he left off last sum-
mer They see no reason why he
won't remembering the big sea-
son he experienced in 1882 when
he won % games) while they have
gilt-edged views that lightning"
will strike again due to the pitch
ers' improved condition and his
natural talent for hurting.
And Monte, after all is said ana
done, is liable to be that sort Of
pitcher if he is completely "set"
this season as he looks to be at
this late stage of the training cam
paign.

It is obvious to the observer
that the Hoyas feel confident
they will surprise the college

team that will have far greater
strength than most people i'm

The Hoyas, like other teams in

Instead of dividing the work
equally among filters as prOmis-

up this matter with other can

They went to the union offices
to get Mr.. Matson, secretary of
the Columbia River Fishermen's
Protective Union to intercede in
their behalf at the cannery, but
Mr.. Matson, as usual, had given
them the dodge.
The mass pressure, however,
became so strong from the rank
and file that Mr.. MatsOn was lore
ed to go to Anderson Fish Com

'favoritism' system. Due to this
determined mass pressure of the
cannery workers. the workers
were re-instated and the favor.
