THE SPORTZICHT
Sports World Is Ever Gay With Color
Despite Passing of ClamOrous Stars.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.
who have been mourn
ing the passing Of Dempsey
and Ruth-the days Of Hagen

-HOSE who have been mourn
ing the passing Of Dempsey
and Ruth-the days Of Hagen
and Tilden as champions
those who have been asking for more
color in sport-have little complaint
left for 1895.
Ruth is about through as player,
but the Dean family will supply its
share for base ball. The two brothers
this season should be good for winning
so games, although many ball players
figure this is too high after their big
year in 1884.
Dizzy is one of the most color
full Of all ball players, because
there is nothing synthetic about
his rainbow tinting. Every move he
makes is natural-not planned in
advance for any effect.
There also is plenty in the way Of
color connected with Mickey Coch-
rane, the high-strung mandarin Of
the Tigers-to say nothing Of School,
boy Rowe, Ducky Medwick, Pepper
Martin and several others.
The same goes for boxing, with Max
Baer ruling the top roost. No one
ever can complain Of Baer's drabness
or his somber tones.
Few heavyweights ever have stirred
up as many arguments or started as
much turmoil as Baer has started in
his first season as head man.
His willingness to fight or clown
4 or 10 rounds against all comers
has been something different.
Baer will accommodate any oppo-
nent who wants to start getting Sc
rious or rough in his exhibitions. II
his opponent doesn't care about taking
q hard punch, then Baer will put on
q show.

What About Golf?


COLF has no complaint to make
along the line of colorfuI per-
formers. The old Haig is still
around, giving a show every now and
then, even when he isn't winning.
In a recent tournament I saw him
turn to a big gallery with this remark,
as he faced a 50-foot downhill putt:
IN have to sink this one because I
don't want to be embarrassed by miss
ing 2-footer in front Of this crowd" 3"
And the putt dropped in. to the
gallery's roar.
Bobby Jones will be back In action
again at Augusta early in April IN one
Of the main tournaments Of the year.
And the field this time will be even
faster than it was year ago.
AS far as color goes, show me a
more colorful performer than Tommy
Armour, the silver fox. Or Bobby
Cruickshank.
Did you ever know" Armour asked
me recently, that Bobby Cruickshank
was one Of the greatest all-around
athletes that Scotland ever had? He
was brilliant at several games, espe-
cially at boxing. where at 130 pounds
he stood at the top"
Armour is not cnly q great golfer,
but he has an interesting personality,
q quick, keen, biting tongue that
spares no one when he has an opinion
to offer which he believes is right.
Gene Sarazen is another with plenty
In the way of color. and the same goes
for Lawson Little, the United States
and British amateur champions

diate fancy Of the crowd.

Taking on Weight.

@RIFF was somewhat dismayed by
I the youngsters undersized phys
1que, SO he launched him on a
fattening-up campaign. In one year
he has gained Is pounds and stretched
an inch, but now Arch himself has
become feverish over the "get-big-
and-go-places" idea, and bogs himself
with gallons Of cream, tons of butter
and acres of potatoes. He has one
slogan ever in his mind-"It's stamina
I'm after" And if you knew Arch.
you'd know he will achieve that
stamina in large hunks. He seems to
have the heart, head and will to be-
come big Lacquer.
But best of all right now, he has
something on the horsehide and a
great natural tossing style. There is
no jerk in his delivery, just smooth
combination of muscle and timing and
a complete follow through. Grif and
Bucky stand and watch the young
rock 60 through his PAGES. The
former says little, but there is tell
tale twinkle back of the white bushy
canopy under the brim Of his hat.
The new manager mods to a nearby
scribe and says: Another Tommy
Bridges-well, I'll be doggoned."

Burke Has Same Views.

ID URKE is the same way about his
n ideas of the situation when
I first came up from Little Rock
to the Washington club I was a per-
feet greene, Of course. I didn't
know what it was all about. And
then I thought Harris harsh task
master. Well, I have learned since
that he's a regular fellow. Since I
found him to be a thorough base
ball man in every way and as I
have learned how big league clubs
must be run I also have found that
Bucky knows how to run one. I am
confident he will give me a chance
to make starting pitcher of myself
the chance have waited for so long"
The way Whitehill and Burke re-
gard this new manager and their
club this time is the way the other
pitchers who have been around the
league three years or more consider
the situation. To them Harris is
without an equal. They like the way
he conducts a training camp. They
think highly of his methods of deal
ing with players. They are strong
for their field general and as con-
sequence strong for their club.
There Is spirit pervading the
pitching squad that smacks of the
1898 training season here. It GER
tainly appears that the Washington
ball club will have plenty of pitching
this year.

What Is Color?
THIS question has been asked many
times There is no answer. 1t
is q personality that registers
that catches the crowds interest and
holds its attention.
A great star may have little color
little crowd appeal. Such star may
be mechanically perfect, or close to
perfection-and yet lack that some
thing which is more on the human
side.
Many great ball players lack color.
But no one has to ask about it when
Ruth, a Dempsey. Hagen, Baer
or a Dizzy Dean steps into the middle
of the picture and tongues begin
chattering.
Color may be composed Of
human frailties as well as
human virtues. And often the
frailties, or the faults, add more
to the color scheme than the
virtues do.
For the average human being isn't
very close to being flawless, or per-
fect-and he knows 1t.

Think Harris Best Pilot.

TN THE first place, each and every
one Of these seven pitchers is per-
fectly satisfied with the salary
agreement reached with Clark Grif-
nth, president of the ball club. Some
had their arguments with the prexy,
but all were amicably settled. And,
IN the second place, each and every
one of these seven pitchers regards
Bucky Harris as the finest manager in
the big leagues.
Some of them have had their differ
ences with Harris. While he was with
the Tigers, the left-handed Whitehill
at times found it difficult to get along
with Bucky, who then was in charge
of the Detroit club And Burke in his
early days with Washington found
Harris troublesome, he thought. So
did Hadley when he first came up to
the big show
It's all different now. Each and
every one of these pitchers is thor
oughly loyal. Each and every one will
tell you that Bucky is the best man in
the business. And each and every one
Is confident he will give the Washing
ton ball club great lot of pitching
this year. They have caught the op-
timistic spirit Of their manager.
VXIH1TEHILL is firm in his belief
wv that he will have successful

a lot OF pitching over there and kept
myself in splendid shape. I have come

battle to take off a bunch of spare

several years, you know.
II came down here with the pros
pect Of having a bit of an argument
with Mr.. Griffith about the salary
proposition. Well, that was settled
quickly. You know, Griff is pretty
fair guy. After talking with him I
realized I might have been wrong after
all In my attitude and it wasn't diff
cult for us to get together.
And as for those troubles I had
with Harris when he was managing
the Detroit club while played with

 Hunting, it was believed, had been good most of the winter and every one was wintering in good health. It was also reported that consider able open water was in evidence around the island, indicating that perhaps Nome and St. Lawrence Is- land will have an early breakup and that steamers from the outside may get into Nome unusually early, if they sail from the states at an early date.

WILL ROGERS AT CAPITOL SUNDAY IN LATEST FILM
" Judge Priest Said to Be One of Best Pictures
 Star Has Done Yet

Will Rogers, whose soul is Am erica" as someone has pointed out, discovers still another quarter of our land in the new Fox film, Judge Priest" which comes to the Capitol Sunday.
 A sleepy Kentucky town of the early nineties supplies the back ground for the newest Rogers ve- hicle, fashioned from the famous Irving S. Cobb stories of the small town judge and his Civil War cronies. The film gives Rogers probably the finest opportunity of his stage career.
 Richer in flavor even than the shrewd Yankee horse trader of David Harum," the Iowa farmer of State Fair" or the wise and patient westerner of They Had to See Paris the drawling but quick witted southern jurist is a mem orable addition to the Rogers gal lery 01 RepreSenIdtlVe AmerlcanS.
 The stars portrayal of Judge Priest has the mark of authenticity upon it. It is notable folk por- trait, just as his other character izaticns have been: the unique blending of a splendid talent with a rich and splendid role. But more than that, it stands alone for it's sheer dramatic power. Seldom has Rogers had such opportunities as his present role affords to call both tears and laughter from his audience.
 Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch'' closes at the Capitol to- night.
