Now that Carl Reynolds is
a member in good standing
~ Of the Washington club once

will be resumed with added fuel on
the flames. Mr.. Reynolds, thoroughly
gentle and forgiving, nevertheless has
never quite forgot the day in 1882
when he was bopped on the whiskers
by Bill Dickey.
Carl was serving his first stretch
with the Griffs at the time. 1t was on
July 4, if memory serves. and Wash
ington had hopes of getting some
where in the race. Mr. Reynolds, in
particular. was trying to get some
where. He was running home on a
close play and. kerplunk, he bumped
into Catcher Dickey.
Sweet William was knocked sprawl
ing and Carl was safe. Then Reynolds
arose to his feet and calmly walked
toward the dugout, thinking no more
about the matter. 1t simply was a
case of Dickey unsuccessfully blocking
the plate. But Carl did not know

So Campbell Is Mad.

BRUCE CAMPBELL may not play
for the Indians this season. but
if he does swing back into action there
is more bad blood. Bruce popped off
on Hornsby when he was traded and
Rogers didn't like it. There is the AL
Simmons Andrews rivalry. which
dates back to 1884. Andrews made Al
bite the dust to escape beaning and
Mr.. Simmons has never forgotten it.
Getting back to our Washington
club again. there Is Ed Linke, who had
a set-to with one Aloysius Schacht of
Boston last Summer. Linke won de-
cision, but AL isn't the kind who for
gets quickly and he may demand re-
match.
Last. but not least, in the listing
of rivalries is the Harris Cochrane
grudge. Bucky and Mickey shifted at
each other when Harris left Detroit to
take over the Red Sox in 1884. Mike
got in the last sniff when Bucky moved
away from Fenway Park, while Detroit
won two pennants. But Stanley Ray
mond isn't through. He's laying for
the Tigers-and The Red Sox, too
and he's a tough gent when on the bit.

team which failed to win a game last

Dobie, forced out by alumni and
undergraduate pressure although it

the material for the new coach.
Until he applied for the Cornell
post, Snavely was understood to be

Makes Good In Pinch.

may be a significance in it.

THAT was bad enoungh, but the very

ing our Buddy Myer and thereby
knocking Washington out of the PEN

Mr.. Myer evidently was under the
same impression for he lashed back
at Ben and there was much ado.
They mixed, and when the battle
finally was stopped Mr.. Myer and Mr..
Chapman were dismissed for the day.
On his way down the dugout steps
Ben heard few choice remarks from
Earl Whitehill and, 10 and behold,
there was a second and even better
scrap. -
Yanks and Griffs rushed to the
scene, and it looked as though free

ran over, carrying bat, but to this

HurIer ModestIy Admits He

~ RLANDO, Fla, March IA
Louie Norman Newsom, whose
goal of IS pitching victories
~ merely "is a matter of me
Kittin' half-decent support" sue
cumbed to a fresh surge Of ambition
today and unearthed new reason
for q formidable Washington ball club
this season.
The reason, as you probably sus-
pected, is Blushing Buck in person,
but the catch is that Newsom not
only has decided to pitch the Ma
tionals into the first division, but also
to bat them into the money. In other
words, HarLsvilles harlequin has be-
come pinch-hitter.
In Manager Bucky Harris book
which is the one that counts-Blush-
ing Buck is not yet officially anything
except a thrower, but Harris Is not
ignoring the latest verbal outburSt OF
his loouatious hurler. He can hit, "
admits Bucky, but nowhere near as
well as he says he can. must see
more of him"
Mr.. Harris cautiousness. however,
seemingly has not disturbed Brother
Newsom. The big hurler, instead OF
doing his daily half-dozen turns
around Tinker Field yesterday in prep
sration for todays game with the Red
Sox, crashed the batting practice line
up. He had been doing it all along.
Newsom confessed when hauled on
the CARPET, but he insisted his heart
was In the right place.
Buck Knows" He Can Hit.
"HONEST," drawled Blushing Buck,
~ I'm a good hitter. I was Just
thinking a few days ago how much
Of a help I would be to this club as
a pinch-hitter, so I started to practice
on nv hittin'. From what hear, this
Cuban baby. Estalella. or however you
pronounce it, is going to be the big
shot pinch-hitter. Well, I'm here to
tell YOU that I'll outhit that baby"
To emphasize his point, Buck dart
ed back in to the hitting line and
cracked a line drive to center field be-
fore indignant regulars swept him
aside. But his spirit remains un-
squelched.
Newsom's new ambition really might
be traced back to Thursdays intra-
camp game between the regulars and
the yanigans. Because he was to
start against Boston today, Buck was
excused from the game. But the
modest South Carolinan was not to
be showed from the spotlight so easily.
Not only did he refuse to dress with
the other excused pitchers, but he
actually talked himself into pinch
hitting role. Rookie Ken Raffens-
berger, his three-inning term up, was
70 bat when Newsom put the bug in
Bucky's ear.
