the first letter, Mr.. Secretary

er's batting average nor his field
ing figures. Myer knows better
than anyone that he's not been
up to standard this year, but the
year is still quite young and he
is not one of the Griffs' hopeless
cases. He is hitting his stride
with warmer weather and if his
slump is worrying you, what do
you think it is doing to him?
NO GRUDGE ON CLEVELAND
''Why is Washington sore on
the Cleveland Indians? Surely
. city Of this size wouldn't allow
q grudge to exist because Walter
johnson, even though he is .
fine gentleman, was q flop as Q
manager.

Reply: washington normally Is
quite cordial to the Cleveland In.
dams, which you will observe when
the team comes here next Sunday.
And as for Walter johnson, he
Is still the outstanding sport per
Sonality of the National Capital,
although he was pronounced
managerial failure here long be
fore he was in Cleveland.
incidentally, Mr.. Schumacher,
the Indians were handicapped
herein three weeks ago as starting
the season with q flawless green
light ahead, so dismiss your fear
that q grudge exists toward Steve
O'Neill'S boys or Walter johnson,
either.
HE'S YOUR MAN!
"FOr several years, even be-
fore he came to the Washington
Senators, have been following
the record of Red Kress. He
Is my favOrite bali player and
despite the fact he is getting
older and his legs are going
back on him, he is still the best
short-stOp in the American
League, in my estimation.

Reply: Everyone to his tastes,
Mr.. Smith.

eff the young man who won
the Boston marathon last Mon
day is . NarraganSett Indian,
Is reported, 50 are Joe Louis,
Stepen Fetchet and Uncle Tom.
/ see no reason why anyone

Reply: suspect there was some
mistake about the background OF
the Boston marathon winner, and
most certainly in the great field
which is sports there is glory
enough for all races.
This paper will run special
train to the June fight between
Joe Louis and Max Schmeling
and the full details will be forth
coming just as soon as all OF the

CAMBRIA IS SUSPECTED
"Why don't Clark Griffith
and Bucky Harris either play
Roberto EStaleIla every day.

Outfield, or decide to send him

Reply: If Paloodelin' Joe Cam
bria, Albany owner didn't get you
to write in that letter ther
Cambria is slipping in his paloo
delin'.
In the first place Washington
ct present has two better third
basemen than EStalella from a
fielding standpoint and in the
second place Roberto Is no out
fielder. But you are right that
the young Cuban could get LOT
of valuable practice if he could
play with Albany every day FOL
q month or two, or so long as
Bluege can alternate at third
with Baby Face" Lewis.
The latter is doing swell right
now. Yesterday he made one stor
that was remindful OF Ossie
Bluege at his best.
