final days of the annual two-week
training encampment here last night
rendered new proposal for an armory
in Washington with the suggestion
that such structure be erected on
District-owned property on Pennsyl-
vanla avenue between Third and Sixth
streets.
The Commissioners plan. outlined
at the annual banquet of officers of
the l2lst Engineers, is that the Fed
eral Government provide 100000
or S5,000,000 to build the structure
on land to be donated by the Dis
trlct. Hazen said he believed this plan
preferable to the recommendation of
the Budget Bureau that Congress ap-
propriate s2lOOoo to purchase site
at the end of East Capitol street
The latter recommendation was re-
Jected by the Senate Appropriations
Committee in reporting the final de-
f1ciency bill today.

armory plan, interlocked with Ma

Commission developments, would in
volve an estimated Sl5,0OO,O00 and
would require too long a time for the
armory to be obtained there.
We had planned to sell the two
squares We own on PENNSYLVANIA ave-
nue., but I think the District ought
to be willing to furnish these squares
and the Federal Government to fur
nlsh the money to build a real armory
that also will serve as a convention
hail. the Commissioner said. Except
for an armory I know of nothing that
Washington needs more than a con-

Oehmann Prepares Plans.
Col. John w. Oehmann, command
ing officer of the guard and toast
master at the dinner, said he already
mad prepared plans under which the
two District-oWned squares could be
utilized for armory purposes. The
property there now includes a large
parking lot, the Traffic Bureau at John

ing as the years go by.
New stars flash to the front
with the march of time as the old
guard fades from view. Most OF
the players named for our first
five teams have passed out of the
major league picture entirely.
AS has been true in the selec-
tions of previous years. some
choices this year requires no de-
liberation whatever. Many players
were such standouts at their posi-
tionS that the answer was easy,
even to the person who took only
a passing interest in their work.
In other positions much thought
and study were necessary in max
ing a choice.
1O-PLAYER LIMIT
One of the difficulties in a
selection of this kind is that we
are limited to ten players-two
pitchers and only one player for
each of the other positions. 1t
would be much easier if the list
included three pitchers, two catch
ers and at least one utility in
fielder and one utility outfielder.

|GRIFFS OPPOSE
BROWNS TODAY

The Griffs wheel back into
action today, with a double-header
on the card. They face the
Browns, with the first game start
ing at 1870 o'clock p. m.
This is a bargain weekend for
fans, as the Chicago White Sox
come here tomorrow, also for a
double.header.
Bucky Harris will continue to
give the game to the youth Of
the squad. His pony infield will
defend the lines, and he will have
at least two of his young pitchers
on the hill.
Red Anderson, big Highlander
from North Dakota, will pitch the
first game, according to official
announcement, while Joe Kra-
kauskas or Ray Phebus fire and
fall back in the second contest.
If age and experience are needed
to assist impetuous youth, then
Harris has a gay succession Of
right and 1eft-handers available
for at least one inning each.
Both Harris and Clark Griffith
think that Jimmy Bloodworth has
better than an even chance to
make the grade as major league
second baseman. The kid is re-
marKable in his ability to go to his
right and throw out runners at
first base. He makes the error
common to young ball players in
goire back on diagonal instead
of charging the ball little more.
He is not too swift in coordinat1ng
on double plays.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-09-18

charge of prejudice was some
times made.
No such criticism may be Of
fered this year. 1t just happens
that the major leagues are equally
represented by five players each.
But this was not the result Of IN
effort to strike an even balance.
AS in the past, no thought was
given to leagues in making these
selections. The only consideration
has been the positions and the
players. In fact, not since 1873
had there been an even division
in personnel until this year.

But since 1922 the system has
been the same.
In selecting a team of this type
it is necessary to consider some
thing more than the percentages
for batting and pitching. Success
in either department figures heav-
lily, of course.
LACK OTHER FEATURES
But there are times when the
outstanding hitters do not COM
bine other features which may
be of great Importance. They
may lack the fielding skill of an
other player, or the hustling ten
denotes, or the fighting spirit, or
other qualities which count under
the heading of team value. Neither
hitting nor fielding can be con-
sidered alone.
The usual changes in the ranks
of the All-America group are noted
in the new list of selections. Six
of the 10 players who were named
year ago are missing. at least
temporarily, from the picture. The
six who have been displaced are
Luke Appling, of the White Sox;
Earl Averill and Odell Hale, of the
Cleveland Indians: Bill Dickey, of
the Yankees; Frank Demaree, of
the Cubs, and Dizzy Dean, of the
Cardinals.
FOUR RETAIN POSTS
Meanwhile, four members of
that 1886 team have been able to
hold their places as the out
standing stars for this year at
their positions. Two others, who
were chosen for All-America teams
previous to 1886, are back again in
the lightlight. Four players are
appearing this year for the first
time as members of this team.
For several years past l have
devoted a paragraph to explain
that even though one league had
a greater number of players on
the team this difference should
not be considered as favoritism.
