MEET BENGALS
With Terrell
HURLING TODAY
BlOOdWOrth Looms
AS Likely Star
BY FRANK BUCK" o'NEILL

Bucky Harris marched his army
OF youth to a prepared position,
where for the day the young men
will view the antics of the vet
Grams as the strife with the De-
troit Tigers is resumed at Griffith
Stadium today. Yves Terrell is 90
ing to pitch for the GriffS, and
it is far more comforting to the
turbulent soul of the curly haired
right handler to have some of the
battle tried veterans behind him.
Wherefore, Joe Kuhel will be
at first base, and Buddy Myer
will be at second. The outfield will
function as yesterday, and Travis.
Lewis and Rick Terrell will round
out the complement of hired
hands.
Despite the fact that Harris
army of youth was repulsed by
the Tigers yesterday, II to 6, there
is little cause for shaking of heads
over an incident which is not new
in this city. The veterans have
looked just as had as the rockies
looked. In fact. there were times
when the veterans looked worse.
LOT OF ABILITY
Jimmy Bloodworth, the yonug
second baseman showed a lot Of
ability. He can go to his right for
ball within the best of them,
and he has a good arm. Blood
worth showed his inexperience in
racing over the long angle for q
couple of hits In his direction,
and the plays a. first were close
as result. He made wild throw
on one ball, but they all do that,
and Jimmy need not feel too
badly over the incident.
The question of whether or not
he will hit is open to debate. He
was a little late in whipping the
heavy end of the bat into the ball,
and he looked pretty bad against
certain pitching. Bloodworth
came to bat the first time with
the bases loaded, and walked
back to the bench after taking
three strikes.
Jimmy Wasdell. first sacker Of
the Griffs, was another youngster
who looked bad at times. He al
lowed a man to slide back to first
base under him. and he muffed q
throw that he might have caught.
Wasdel got a hit. and he'll get
plenty of hits before he's through.
Nothing to fret over concerning
this young man.
HALF DIFFERENCE
The difference of an inch in
the jump of fast ball; maybe
half an inch difference in the
jump of a fast ball measured the
space between possible victory and
defeat for Joe Krakauskas, the
young left handler. In Philadelphia,
not long ago KrakauSkaS had his
fast ball hopping all over the place.
It leaped and dove until Krakhaus-
kas wished it would be just a little
Straighter.
It didn't dive so much yesterday.
and the Tigers we're able to meet it
Squarely on the business end OF
the bat. But "KraKers" wasn't
aided too much by the Army OF
Youth. He was let down in pincheS
by Bloodworth and WaSdell, whose
boots started the Tigers on the
road to making runs.
George Case is pretty badly
handicapped by a left shoulder
that wanderS in an out of joint,
much against the young mans
will. Case today can hardly put
on his working shirt, so sore is the
shoulder But as one of the Army
of Youth which is expected to
emancipate Washington from the
dank and dreary second division.
he may be expected to rush into
action almost any time.
President Clark C. Griffith, OF
the Washington Baseball Club. an.
nounced today that Salisbury Day
would be celebl ated on next Sum-
day, with a doIble header against
the Chicago White SoX. The
