Baseball

Base hits ratified off the Grit
fifth Stadium walls yesterday like
machine-gun fire, but the hits were
all made by the Baltimore News
photographers.
The occasion was the annual
baseball game between the Baltl'
more News photographers and
The Washington Times and
Herald photographers.
Joe Roberts, ace sports photog'
rapher, who should know baseball,
started the game in the pitchers
box and turned out to be a good
sports photographer. Before the
game was over every man on the
team had taken their turn at
pitching.
Joe Mooney, shortstop for thS
locals had one chance, a pop fly,
but failed to bring his basket to
the game. The fly was caught but
not by Mooney.
The score was up in the millions
but by agreement it was decided
to make it to 4 in favor OF the
Baltimore News.

lower than the last unofficial bat
ting averages of the team. At
this early stage Of the year, the
GriffS have been shut out four
times more than the New York
Yankees were in two full playing
years between August 2, 1881, and
August 3, 1888.
Washington already holds the
record for being WhiteWashed the
most times in one season in the
American League. In 1909. the
last season the club spent in the
cellar, the heroes of that day
were BANKED 20 times in 1874
starts. The nonscoring average
was 1873 or whereabouts. The all
time all-national league record for
whitewash dips was thrust upon
the st. Louis Cardinals in 1909.
John Henderson Whitehead, Of
the Chicago White Sox. is the
latest hurler to pick on the bat
ting frailtieS of the Griffs. He
shut them out with four hits,
while his teammates were pinning
back the ample ears of our own
Robert Burke.
Griffs Hobby
Being shutout with four hits is
one of the hobbies of the Griff-
men, it would seem. At any rate,
it is the third time in their ad
ventures in blankdom that the
opposing pitcher has allowed four
hits. Jack Welsh, of the Boston
Red Sox, set the style down in
washington, and Lefty Gomez
eagerly accepted the leadership
of Welsh and poured the white
wash over the Griffs. Now it is
Whitehead.
Wilshere, of the Athletics,
pitched the meanest game against
the Griffs. He allowed only two
hits. Totalling the hits of those
four humiliating games we see
that the sluggers of our outfit
made just IA safe blows. Two of
the shutout pitchers were left
handed and two hurled from the
North. The SouthpaWS, however
allowed six hits to eight for the
right handlers.
This young Whitehead is re-
garded as one of the most prom
Using of the rockies of the Amerl-
can League this year. He was
bought from the Dallas club of
the Texas League, where last year
he won 10 games and lost 10. He
struck out 81 hitters. Whitehead
pitched 20 complete games last
year and had an earned run
average of 2.43. He is strap
ping big chap, standing six feet
tall and weighing about 200
pounds.
Radcliffe ImpreSses
And while we're on the subject
of Sox players, you'll be interested
to know that Ray Allen Radcliff,
born at Kiowa. Oklahoma, looks
like quite young man. Weigh
ing ITS pounds and compactly
built, Radcliff can hit the ball
long way. He shot a home run
into the stands on Saturday, and
gave every indication of being a
better hitter than his current
average of $50 or Whereabouts
would indicate.
Having blown two games to the
Sox and cut their average to q
nifty 500 for the season, the
Griffs arrived here confident of
recouping some of their losses.
If they can't win here it's a cinch
they won't do much winning any
place.

BUCK EVERETT
WANTS BROWN
To FIGHT

An invitation for Matte Brown
to come in and fight today was
extended by betting Buck Everett
as he awaited the staging of their
scheduled 1O-round boxing bout
at the Washington Auditorium
tonight.
Obviously in top physical trim
and supremely confident, Everett
insisted that Mates cooperation
alone was needed to make to,
nights bout one of the best since
boxing'S legalization here.
Oddly enough Mates great
stand against Joe Louis recently
appears to h ave in now e
boosted his stock inasmuch as
tonight's bout is concerned. In
dications today were that he
would go to the post at no better
than even money and possibly
on the short end of 6-to-5 odds.
Four high powered six round
numbers should comprise the best
preliminary support of the in
door season.
A smuggling heavyweight num-
Der brings together Norman Bar
nett, former western Maryland
athlete, and Steve Collucci: Andy

WORK BACKED
ON CHARACTER

Superintendent Of hools
Frank w. Ballou favors an ex-
tension of character education in
the public schools to take in chill
dren of the first, second and third
grades "even if it means a cur
tailment in the higher brackets, "
he told the Board of Education in
reporting on the experiment being
carried on here as a result of a
Senate investigation.
Superintendent Ballou said the
term character education" was
misleading, and suggested it be
called the Congressional char.
acter demonstration.
To further carry out the pro-
gram. which is designed to learn
the individual capacity of each
child and teach him as an indi-
vidual, DR.. j. Hayden Johnson
recommended the assignment of
an adjustment teacher" to each
of the junior high schools.
DR.. Ballou's 18-page report on
the experiment covered the his
tory of the demonstration since
it was authorized by Congress and
told of the types Of pupils it was
endeavoring to adjust"
