Freshmen on Mat Saturday.
Varsity Teams Busy.

A NNAPoL1s, Mo. January 1s.-
The Naval Academys athletic
program for the week contains basket
ball and wrestling only, but is marked
by the initial contest in varsity wres-
Ting, plebe wrestling and plebe bas-
ket ball.
Nays basketers, though they lost to
Pittsburgh Saturday, 20 to IS, showed
unmistakable signs of progress in the
improved shooting of MacFarland,
Ruge and Ingram and should be in
still better form by Thursday, when
they meet Virginia at Annapolis. The
game was postponed a day, as the
nidshipmen take part in the inaugural
parade Wednesday.
The basket ball team will have La
fayette as an opponent Saturday, and
the wrestlers take on Virginia Military
Institute, fresh from q victory over
North Carolina State.
Plebe sports make their start for
the Winter. the basketers to be op-
posed by Roosevelt High School Of
Washington, and the wrestlers by the
freshmen of Virginia Military Insti-
tute.
The plebe basket ball team Is
coached this year by Marty Karow,
former Ohio State player. Karow
states that he has some strong ma
terial, aces being Barber and Wolfe,
forwards; Hanley, center, and Holmes,
guard.

And even when he spotted Marberry
the one-tine pitcher was not sure
of himself and wired Grif to come
down to Little Rock and look over
Frpo for himself.
Scouting infielders brought Engel
his chief fame, although his quali-
flcations as q judge OF inflelders is
mystifying. 1t was wire from Engel
that caused Grif personally to scout
Harris.
All by himself did Engel ship
Bluege, Cronin, Travis and Lewis
to the Nationals and he recon-
mended the purchase for $65,00O
for Kuhel.
Contrary to the popular story. Engel
did not insist upon the purchase of
McNeely for s50,000. When Griff sent
him securing the country for a right
handed hitting outfielder in 1924 he
reported that McNeely was the best
bet. When he learned the price on
Earl was fifty grand he refused to
sanction the buy outright. Come out
and look him over yourself" said Joe
by long-distance telephone to Griff
Don't pay $4,000 on my say-so."
Papa Engel Was Framed.
IN THE end this is what happened,
for Griffith had not the time to
travel to the Coast and McNeely was
sent to Washington post haste. here
to bat .331 and provide the hit that
won the series.
He's a local boy, incidentally, this

that he was willing to set em up on

This quickly led to the boys sys-

that Joe was pitching when, in
reality, Walter johnson was work

n YEW YORK, January 18.-
nj frankie Francis Frisch, fore
man Of the st. Louis Cardinals,
left today for the gas house
district with a three-base headache.
For guy whose team perennially is
among the favorites in the National
League, Foreman Frank has more
trouble than a one-legged shortstop.
Most of his pitchers are either too
old, too young or crippled. The right
side of his infield is transparent on
defense.
From there on things get worse
The main trouble, though, is with
his pitchers. He conceded he has
probably the two best right-hand
fingers in the league, Dizzy Dean and
Lonnie Warneke, and another starter
in Jim Winford. He also has 10 pros
poets from top minor leagues coming
to training camp. but still he's wor-
ried.

Infield Problem Tough.

HARRELL, who won IS and lost IA
for Rochester. also is given a
chance, and Smith, who won 13 and
lost for Houston, gives promise of
developing into a good relief pitcher.
MCGEE and Ryba, who had Colum-
bus records of 1873 and 14-7. respec-
lively, are promising, says Frisch, but
Andrews and Chambers are doubtful.
Frisch declared he had no definite
information about the ailing Paul
Dean.
With Second Baseman Stu Martin
definitely out and First Sacker Johnny
Mize needing improvement defensively,
Frisch obviously was distressed about
the infield problem.

Franchises Are Sought.

At PRESENT, three cities are ap-
= plying for franchises in our
league. So there is every possibility
that additions may be made before
the start Of the 1887 season.
In any event, a balance may b
possible between the East and the
West, which at present finds four
clubs in the Western division and
five in the East.
Action on these franchise applica-
tions will be taken at our annual
meeting in February in Chicago.
