tract which he was sent Feb
ruary /.
With the possible exception Of
Heinie Manush, there isn't an
outfielder I'd rather watch
afield or at the bat, than Earle
Combs. And when like a ball
player, it doesn't make any diff
ference to me whose uniform he
is wearing. You sort Of have
confidence in Combs when you
see his solid stance at the plate.
You have just as much faith
in him when he races to either
side or comes in or retreats for
such offerings as he is called on
to field. He is fans ball player,
and a delight to watch.
Both Sides Buckle
I think that over the coming
season he will stand as nearly
between the Yankees and their
try for the pennant, as he did
last year. Any time the right
side of the outfield is buckling,
as Ruth was last year, is no
time for things to happen to
the left, as was the case when
Combs went under such terrific
speed after a fly ball that he
d1sregarded a concrete wall just
as though it was paper.
Only earnest, intent, hard
working ball players have such
reckless regard for life and
limb as Combs displayed against
the st. Louis Browns that day
last autumn when he was
picked up a crumpled heap in
Sportsman's Park. Beside the
brain conclusion, Combs twist
ed and tore ligaments in his
arm and shoulder, which in
juries he has been correcting
by spending his time in the
open and taking gradually in
creasing exercise until he is
able to announce himself in tip
top condition and desirous Of
reporting in Florida with the
rockies, next week.
Quakers Have Idea
Up in Pennsylvania, the box.
ing commission is said to lean
favorably toward a plan which
will encourage kids to take up
boxing and that might even.
tually put an end to the slump
which fighting has encountered
everywhere.
The plan is to let boy box
professionally one year without
the payment of a license fee.
The thought is that such a.
waiver would bring out a horde
Of kids to try their luck at the
business, many of whom, within
a year, would be well on their
way to making good, thereby
increasing the number Of Ii.
censes ultimately taken out,
which otherwise might never
materialize.
In Washington, the only
embryo boxers who may fight
without the cost of a license
are those amateurs under 18
years, who must present birth
certificate in order to have the
license fee waived. All profes-
sional fighters must buy a Ii.
cense for IS. I think a plan
for free licenses to plainly
budding professionals, should
stimulate kindling for future
utility in rings locally and else
where. Let's encourage more
boys coming out for ring
careers.

A movie is coming to town to-

personal talk to introduce the

Answer Questions
To earn an award, you must
see the movie and answer the
following questions, all Of which
will be treated upon in the pic
ture:
/. Which Of the batters shown
in the film reveal the Smoothest
form in their swing?
2. When is the proper time to
put on a squeeze play?
3. With which foot is it cor.
rect to slide into a bag?
For the most logical answer to
these questions, the prize winning
award will be the above-men-
toned season ticket to all of the
Washington Ball Clubs games at
Griffith Stadium this year.

ICY WIND KEEPS
GR|FFS FROM
PRACTICE
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NE1LL


BILOXI, Feb. 27.-Another one
Of those unusual" days blasted
the work of the Griffmen today.
An icy norther howled over the
camp and the only haven Of COM
fort was the lee side Of the grand
stand.
Frank Peticolas and Archie
Scrivener are the two most pol
iShed youngsters Of the group now
striving for place. Do not be sur
priSed if Scrivener is carried along
with the team this year as a bat
ting practice pitcher, providing
that Griff does not choose to risk
turning the lad over to some bush
manager. Scrivener has a bright
future.
The boys tried to get up q
pepper game, but it was SO cold
that they just had to pull in their
horns and go through the mo-
tions. At that, PeticolaS had to
be warned against cutting loose
with too much speed.
Better Than Average
Jack Redmond is a better hitter
than his scraWny average Of
1884 would indicate. He takes a
clout at the ball, even in practice.
He looks better when he chokes
up q couple Of inches than when
he takes the hickory down at the
end.
Reese Diggs is just about Is
per cent better pitcher than he
was one year ago and is almost
certain to be with the team until
June IS. In fact, he's a good bet
to remain around even longer
than that. He's a colorful lad,
this DiggS, with dash of madcap
humor and preferences that make
him stand out. Not dizzy or any
thing like that, but mildly eccen'
trio.
Buddy Myers arrival gave the
crowd about the hotel a thrill.
The second sacker was en- route
to New Orleans for the Mardi
Gras and stopped off to chat
with Griffith. He said he was
not far away from an agreement
before he arrived in camp. So
the holdout list is just melting
away.
Lanahan Smooth
# Jack Russell has a chance
to work as a regular instead of
being the truck horse of the staff
he will be all right. The big fell
low should be good pitcher for
the GriffS this year.
Dick Lanahan showed greater
smoothness in his work yesterday
despite the fact that it was too
cold to do any real pitching. His
finish was better than it has
been at any time so far. The
first two days Dick lacked the
smoothness that marks the real
pitcher.
The local fire department had
a workout yesterday noon and
the players hustled down to the
scene. sgd Cohen wanted to lay
8 to s. that the El Paso boys
were better, but there were no
takers.
The Washington times., 1935-02-28

geOnS WaCCn1ng Dy uAS OoUE
In medical circles EarIs recov'
cry was considered nothing short
of a miracle. Not for an instant
did he suffer those dread dizzy
spells which accompany brain
conclusions. This was attributed
to the fact that the flow Of
blood during the hemmorhage
which he suffered was kept
open-whereas had the blood
clotted, anything might have
happened.

Earle Combs has completely recovered from
the injury in st. Louis last season which
took him out of the Yankee lineup for the
remainder of the year, and in my belief,
doomed tn e m definitely as pennant con-
tenders.
The complete collapse of Russell Van Alta
was the starting of the Yankee toboggan,
and Combs crash against fence that frac-
tured his skull back there when the Yanks

the Yank bid.

Serve Different Cereal Daily
With cooked and ready-to-serve
cereals made in all grains and IN
all fashions you can serve diff
ferent cereal every morning for
two weeks-with plenty Of rich
milk or cream, of course.
When / have a cooked cereal
I'm not particular about hot
drink, but if We are to eat
ready-to-serve cereal I like to
have my twelve-year-cId son drink
a cup of cocoa or hot milk. Some
thing hot aids digestion.
Eggs should be on the table az
least three times a week. On other
mornings try a creamed meat or
a creamed vegetable on toast with
a garnish of crisp bacon.
Crisp toast to make a child
chew is good for his teeth as well
as his general health. It's good
idea to allot toast to cooked GER
cal mornings and mullins or rolls
to the ready-to-serve-cereal occa-
sions.

SISTER MARY'S MENU
BY MARY E.. DAGUE

TIERE I am harping on break
L j fast again. but it's impossible
for mothers and wives to put 100
much stress on beginning the day
right. Children need good meal
in the morning even if grown-ups
want to go without breakfast al
together. ,
a morning in school uses up q
vast amount of nervous energy as
we'll as physical strength and 1000
is the fuel that keeps both nina
and body running smoothly. NO
child can work his mind VINO is
not nourished. Listlessness. mead
ache, irritability are often olrect
results of scanty breakfasts.
The reason some children don't
want breakfast may be that the
evening meal was too heavy ana
too rich. Too much food at bed
time keeps the stomach working
overtime and prevents resttul
sleep.
Allow Time for Leisurely Eating
Sleeping conditions are another
factor which may cause loss OF
appetite. Careless ventilation and
the wrong bed covers the night
before can make a child irdiffer-
ent to his breakfast.
Or again, if a child feels he's
going to be late for school, he
can't eat even if he's really hun
cry.
That's why we ought to allow
plenty of time for child to eat
his breakfast and have at least
ten minutes between the time he
finishes his meal and the time ne
must start to school.
The hearty type of breakfast
which includes fruit, cereal, eggs
or their equivalent, bread or
toast, and beverage make a con-
yenient family meal because it
takes care of the children. Those
adults who are not active muscu-
larly can pass by the extra dishes
and limit themselves to their fruit
and coffee.
AS to breakfast menus, don't
let yourself get into a rut. The
same fruit, the same cereal and
the inevitable egg pail after a few
mornings.

"Rctail sales in the first half
