in enthusiastic embrace. Harris
tosses his cap aloft, and enthusi-
asm swept the entire team.
Confidence rather than fervor
reignS in the camp Of the Griffs
this morning as they ride down to
Lakeland to battle the Tigers, fol-
lowing the really fine performance
Of Prof. Weaver against the BoS-
ton Red Sox yesterday. The boys
are predicting a big year for the
studiouS hurler. Some of them
say that he'll win is games.
Others put it at 10, but all Of
them are sure that he'll be among
the winning pitchers of the league.
weaver showed me plenty in
the four innings he pitched"
said Walt Miles, as we rode
down to Lakeland early this
morning. Miles was all enthu-
SiaSm over the way Monte stop
ped the SOx. "HiS fast ball really
was Sneaky, breaking in on the
boys before they could set. He
showed them q let up ball that
made his fast one that much
better. Yes, sir, / was tickled to
death with the way he pitched"
Weaver, the quiet and courtly
person that he is, refused to talk
about his performance beyond
saving that he was pleased. He
said that he weighed 157 pounds
after the game, which is Is pounds
more than he weighed last year.
Mike Martin is walking on the
upper curve Of the world this
morning, and truly, the veteran
trainer has cause to rejoice. He
has worked hard and well with
Weaver, building him up, rubbing
him and nursing through a trying
siege, of illness.
sewing the Red SOx three
hits was a real performance for
Weaver" gIOated Martin. Zone
of the blows was a scratch that
Monte thought would roll foul.
Gaffke hit late at a fast ball and
got q double that might have
been caught. But no matter.
One legitimate hit was all !
could see.
"The beauty Of it was that
Monte finished up strong. He
was breezing along good for five
more innings. He is going to
help US . lot"
Lest we forget, there was a boy
named Pete Appleton out there for
five innings, pitching three hits,
Shut-out ball in that period. Apple
ton has shown consistently good
form this spring, and right now
looms as the Griff pitcher for the
opening game of the season.
Johnny Mihalic continues to
bang the cover off the ball. He
got two clean hits yesterday and
was robbed Of third by a good
running catch by Gaffke. Day by
day in every way Mihalic is max.
ing it tougher and tougher for
Buddy Myer. Of course, Mihalic
cannot hope to continue this wild
streak that has carried him into
the 800 brackets, but he is meet
ing the bail il timely fashion.
Clark Griffith announced to
day that in the event of Sammy
Holbrook reporting to the Chat
tanooga club, and signing, Hert
Crompton would be transferred
to the Washington club as third
string catcher, replacing Cliff
Bolton. Crompton is a big fellow
weighing ITS pounds, and hi!
work in training has been of ex
ceptional merit.
