~ one fatality in this vicinity
this Winter has heard the wolves howl
ing. It has been condemned for its
sheer brutality by many, but now
comes along a staunch supporter who
would have the world know there is a
splendid idea back of it all and that
with slightly modified conduct boxing
could be made into one of the colleges
finest sports.
And there is authority for this sup
porter's criticism, all of it constructive
and suggestions, too, for he has been
through the mill. Modest to an ex-
treme, he prefers to remain an un-
known, but it may be told that he
boxed years ago for the University of
Texas, the University of Chicago and
with teams in schools in Germany. OF
course. he did his boxing before there
were time-limits for college athletes.
And he thinks 50 well of the
game that he has his son with
freshman boxing team at a uni
versity and hopes the lad will 60
up to the varsity squad next
Winter.
Boxing is fine for the young man,
says this veteran of the sport. If
properly safeguarded, it builds up IN
the follower a sound constitution. de-
velops in him a wholesome respect for
opposition and generally fits him for
the drab battle of life to come after
the college days.

nDnDTn Way to Check Brutality
NJ IUNl \G0DE in College Boxing
~ OVV1 Given by Vet.

RUT, insists this veteran, this Is only
when the sport is properly safe
guarded. And concerning this he
makes several points which he firmly
believes would improve the sport both
for the participant and the onlooker.
He advocates a departure from the
purely slugging type of fighting now
prevalent in college rings Rather, he
would put more of a premium on de-
fense, do away with the obvious bru-
tality of the current knockout or
nothing" style of battling that he fears
is doing the sport and its participants
much harm.
The primary training of the college
fighter should be not Knockout meth
ods, but scientific boxing, he says.
Scientific boxing, after all, is the ele-
mentary equipment Of the most sue
cessful professional fighters, the veteran
points out He feels that too much
emphasis now is on the Knockout as
the only sure test of collegiate SUI
premacy.
This attitude is almost forced
on the college fighter, the
veteran declares, as the young
ster realizes that skill aside from
that shown in throwing punches
Is heavily discounted in contests.
And with that the veteran of the
college ring brings up another point.
He insists that always there should be
at least two judges as well as the
referee to make decisions. He contends
that the referee has entirely too much
other work to do to be able to check

CHARLOTTE CLUB

By Stan Correspondent of The Star

By Stan Correspondent of The star
~ RLANDO. Fla, March S.
Clark Griffith has forged
\ another link in the Wash
ington clubs growing
"chain store" base ball system with
the acquisition of the Charlotte
club of the Piedmont League.
Today the white-haired owner Of
the Nationals boasts one Of the
more pretentious farm" systems
in the major leagues, striking de
rect contrast to the condition Of
only few months ago.
It was not until most of the other
big-league clubs had taken a tre-
mendous lead in lining up chain
store" systems that Griffith saw
the light. He took steps to remedy
the situation by appointing Joe
Engel, former president of the
Chattanooga Lookouts. as boss of
the Washington teams farming"
system.
The Charlotte team is a Glass B
outfit in the recently reorganized
Piedmont League and brings the
total of b teams" under the
Washington banner to two, the
other being Jacksonville of the
Sally League. In addition, Griffith
directs a class Al club (Chatta-
nooga Of the Southern Associ-
atom, a class A team (Trenton
Of the New York-Pennsylvania
League) and two class D clubs
Stanford of the Florida State
League and Salisbury of the East
ern Shore circuit.
The deal for the Charlotte team
was completed within an hour
after Engel arrived in Orlando yes
terday to confer with Griffith on
the proposition. Engel, inciden-
tally, has ITS youngsters studying
in the Washington clubs free

can miss, eventually. I watched that
Early bat and, s'help me, he's got a
stroke at bat exactly like Cliff Bottoms.
He swings quicker than Cliff. however,
and that means that he can be a
pull hitter.
'Wasdell, I'd say, is ready for the
ma jors right now if you had to use
him"
Meanwhile, while these recruits
claimed their share of the spotlight,
veterans were doing their stuff in bat
ting practice and the life of batting
practice pitchers was none too safe.
Joe Kuhel seems to be aware of Was
dells presence and potential danger,
for he is as active as any member in
camp, with the exception of Hogan.
Time on the practice field appears to
pass too quickly for Kuhel, who al
ready is begging for infield practice.
At bat, Kuhel hit the ball as well as
any one, although, when all was said
and done, nobody had anything on
Buddy Myer.
Bolton, making his initial appear
ance in a Washington uniform since
he allegedly Jumped" the club last
August, was another who won the ap-
plause of onlookers with his hitting.
Cliff, incidentally, is in far better shape
than when he reported last year. For
one item he is thinner, although still
retaining the general lines of coca
cola bottle But. at least, he is down
to his last two chins and it looks as
If Cliff is ready to say something about

He's big boy now, scaling 178 pounds.
Kelly finally turned up and lounged
around the lobby of the hotel for two
hours without being recognized. He

Just stood, looking for a benefactor.
Finally his prayer was answered when
Grif strobe into the lobby and asked

Be that as it may, today was to
be young Brady's day. At Palatka,
where he was whisked by Federal
agent and a member Of the local
American Legion post, he was
calling Griffith "Griff" and the
ball players by their first names.
Today he was to do it face-to-face
with his heroes, pose for photog-
raphers, see his name over stories
in Washington papers and revel
generally in the spotlight that &C
companies such a feat as travelling
995 miles on SO.
What will happen to him when
his Daddy gets him back home
may be something else again.

Brady, jr., ought to be well spanked.
The ball players appreciate the

base ball, but so completely has
the Brady boy upset their training
routine so far and fired the married
players imagination that when
they smilingly pose for photog-
raphers with little Jimmy they're
likely to wear only masks.
Newspaper men in camp, strug-
Cling to record the details of the
Nationals opening of camp, now
openly are resenting the Brady
youngsters coming. For days now
they've chased him, when business
should have been in camp. More

and the veteran contends that Is what
the college boxer should strive Tor.
The former college ringman also
advocates more and better taping OF
the college boxers hands. Particular
attention, he believes, should be paid
to protection of the thumb. Too many
thumb injuries have marred the sport
recently, he points out. Have the
hand taped rigidly, he urges, so that
the boxer may easily keep his wrist
straight. That would do away with
many of the injuries now so prevalent.
His arguments seem sound. The
college boxing administrations might
consider the veterans suggestions
anyway.

NIASDELL is medium sized kid, no

Time and again he rammed long
drives to the outfield during the two

He's a Hungry" Player Now.

IT TOOK a guy with nerve to step
down this way and it took a fell
low with a sense of fairness to walk
into Griffith's Office, as he did this
Winter, and offer to sign blank con-
tract.
Il didn't earn my salary last
year." he admitted, land so you
just write in the figure this
year" Nobody can put a real
blast on a guy like that.
The more quiXotic of observers now
are looking upon Mr.. Myer as hun
cry ball player This, of course, is
only a figure of speech. For II years
now he has drawn pretty fair salary
and in the bank he probably has
reasonable balance but hungry" Is
vague sort of a sports term applicable
to a guy fighting for something and
this year Myer has a goal to reach.
You are pretty sure to find Buddy
patroling his beat at second base when
the opening game rolls around. He
certainly will not lose his job at Or
lando, if only because there is nobody
to take it away from him.
Ossie Bluege, definitely util-
ity man now, and Johnny
Mihalic, are good little ball
players but the woods are full of
infielders like them.
Myer. despite his .270 average. has
a lock on the post until he proves,
under official fire, that his sun has set,
and watching him IN batting practice
you wouldn't say that he is that kind
who gallops into oblivion within the

For Myer this is unusual. The

starter, with the exception of
one year, and that was 1885.
He really was sick last year. Harris
and Grif are convinced of that, even
if Myers own teammates murmured
contrasting opinions. The typical
