ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 8.
A silent but deadly fight on
the Mullikin race track bill to
reduce the daily tax from
$4,000 to $1,000, in ways and
means committee, of which the
author is chairman, has re-
suited in a tie vote. Mullikin
said today he did not intend
bringing the bill out unless he
got favorable report and saw
a good chance of its winning
on the floor of the house.
The measure is being fought
bitterly by delegations from
Baltimore city and Baltimore

and in exchange for support
of an oyster dredging bill the
opponents of the bill have en-
listed the support of Eastern

With the scratching of Lary'S
pen across the sealed paper that
made him a member of the Wash
ington American League baseball
club, the final chapter of one of
baseball's most amazing deals
came to it's climax. Griffith has
told the world time and again that
he received a cool quarter of a
million dollars in cash, and Lary's
contract for the services of Joe
Cronin, now manager of the Bos-
ton Bed Sox.
There are some who contend
that they are in position to

holders of the washington club

VOWED. Until other figures are
established as official, we shall
accept the word of the venerable
Griffith. There is no doubt that
Larry now is member of the
Griffmen in all the rights and
privileges of his station.
There is no sorrow in the heart
of Larry at being traded down the
river in the deal that made base
ball history. He faces the season
Of 1885 with firm confidence that
he is going to have a good year
personally and that the Griffmen
are going to raise a lot of hell in
the American League.
Glad To Be With Griffs
Certainly I'm glad to be with

beaming smile. 81 have chance

Take this writer's word for it,
he's a good ball player and regu-

he's a better fielder.

enough players to man the
ball club. He doesn't need
players this year. For better or
worse his club is set.
A Defensive Ball Club
It is strictly one of those
kind of clubs. 1t either does
or it doesn't. He thinks it will.
Maybe he's right. He was only
wrong once-and the st. Louis
Cardinals won the world series.
In 1888, he won both cham
pionships with defensive ball
team. It couldn't hit the broad
side of hack but it had pitch
ing and fielding.
Last year, the same club
went as far as its pitchers
went and then subsided, stimuli"
taneously and in unison. 1t
was seven games in the lead at
the time and a certain Mr.. OFT,
who was supposed to drive in
half the runs for the ball club,
didn't get a hit in the last six
games of the season.
That's supposed to be all
changed now. Anyhow, so says
Mr.. Terry, who points to the
fact that he has a punch at
shortstop in Dick Bartell where
previously he had a ukelele
hitter; that Parmelee, the
pitcher, won't be out for the
first two months and that Jack
son, the shortstop, will now be
playing third base, where he
can't get hurt so often, if at
all.
"In fact" Terry added, II
expect to finish with the team
that starts. The catchers?
Danning and MancusO, who
had a bad year because Of
typhoid and is naturally ready
for a good one.
"My infield? Myself, CritZ,
BartelI and Jackson, with two
others for insurance. One of
them is Mark Koenig, who can
and does play any infield posi-"
ton. The other? Don't make
me laugh. They talk about
this Mccarthy, of the Dodgers.
Why, Joe Malay can give him
a seconds start and still beat
him to the play. AS fielding
first baseman, I've seen few to
equal Malay and 1 don't mind
including myself"
The outfield, of course, is or
dained. Terry's going to carry
five, including the four regu-
lars-Moore, Davis and Lieber
and Ott-with Weintraub, a gen"
tleman who can powder that
ball, as insurance.
The pitchers, naturally, are
tabled. Hubbell, who really
looks the part here; Schumacher,
Parmelee and FitZsimmonS.
Hubbell Key Man
Allyn Stout, says Terry, is to
be a fifth starter, with Leon
Chagnon, Al Smith and Clydell
Castleman, another gentleman
from Tennessee, by no means
to be overlooked. OF course, the
club runs strictly to pitchers
and, of these, Hubbell is the key
man. If he's good, everything
is solved. If he isn't, everything
is hay.Wire.
Who's Terry going to keep?
Well, he might even keep Larry
Benton, the veteran picked up
from Cincinnati, as free agent.
It's Terry's idea that Benton's
arm is just as good as it ever
was; he says Larry didn't keep
the ball concealed enough.
Another gent he seems to
count upon in the immediate
future is "Skeets" Dickey, bro.
ther of Bill. He's even prepared
to go so far as to pay the young
man a $500 bonus for signing,
provided he makes good and, if
this is done, there will be rare
ruckus about certain players
who are not paid that much for
a seasons play.
