BIuege Has Glass.

At THAT Bucky Harris could go
n farther and fare worse in estab-
fishing Bluege as the regular
shortstop of the Nationals There
probably isn't many better at the posi-
ton in the majors than OSSie. And
he has few peers, if any. True, Ossie
is no great power in attack. But
neither is Larry, for that matter.
However, there are enough others in
the Washington lineup capable of
swinging strong bat to permit Man
ager Harris to look to Bluege as a
regular again.
That's what Griffith thinks about
1t and the way the big boss is talking
it appears that Larry is doing himself
no good at all by spurning the pay
offered.
There are some pitchers who have
aroused Griff1th's ire by not taking
kindly to the figures he wrote into
their contracts. He can't understand
why Bob Burke should persist in re-
jecting terms and he is downright
peeved by Earl Whitehill's refusal to
sign.
There is no good reason why Burke
should refuse the pay offered. for it
is as much as many pitcher who was
regular starter got last year in our
league" Griffith gave out. Il hold
that I have treated Burke fairly and
Squarely throughout the time he has
been with us. paid him more perhaps
than he actually was worth to the
club. He has no kick coming so far
as I know. But Bob is like a lot of
Others. Trying to dig the club instead
OF regarding his case reasonably"

Lary's Case Ann0ys Griff.

rvyHILE all the holdouts have
w managed to get under the
prexy's skin he is particularly
irked by the attitude OF Lyn Larry,
the shortstop plucked from the Red
Sox in the record-selling Joe Cronln
deal last Fall to supplant the depart
ed Unfolding pilot.
Griffith can't understand Lary'S
case at all. Il have offered Larry as
much as he got from the Yankees
and the Boston club" said the boss
of the Nationals today. And I con-
slider it a sound offer, too, but he's
squawking for more. He has written
me several times stating his objections
to the terms in his contract. I got
the last letter from Larry just before
I left Miami for training camp, and
his request for reconsideration Of my
offer has left me cold
Larry may feel he has the Washing
ton ball club at his mercy now that
Cronin is wearing the uniform of an
other outfit, but he can't make Grit
fifth believe this apparently.
If Larry thinks he can hold me up
because he is the only Shortstop
eround the club he is sadly mistaken"
Griffith ripped out. He'd better re-
member there's another player on this
club by the name of Bluege. Larry will
come to the ball club on my terms or
he'll find himself without job

Houston was playing Dallas. In
the pitchers box for Houston, l9-
year-old kid was standing the Dallas
players on their heads. A certain
Dallas batter, weighing over 200
pounds and hard as a maverick steer,
got rtled at the way Dizzy Dean,
the kid, was sending the Dallas bat
ters to the bench.
Around the third inning, when the
Dallas heavyweight struck out, like
a firecracker that had failed to ex-
plode, he made some pointed personal
remarks to and about and concerning
Dean. Dizzy resented them volubly.
Whereupon the Dallas giant strobe
out to the pitchers box, knocked
Dean down with terrific right to
the face and hit him again every
time Dizzy tried to rise.
The belligerent Dallas husky was
put out of the game and Dean was
pulled to his feet. The Houston
manager called a relief hurler and
ordered Dean to the showers to re-
