Opening lead-A2.

The hand was played in the presidents cup game at the recent national championship tournament of the American Bridge League, Henry and Miller winning the event. The choice of no trump as the final contract was, of course. strictly duplicate choice.
 The first trick was wOD 1n dunn. my, and the club finesse WAs taken west refused to cover, but the king dropped on the second round, and now 12 tricks were assured.

How Bout Tigers Pitching?"

GRIFFITH refuses to predict the
exact spot his club will finish.
Il know it sounds like the same hokum,
but all I'll say is that We'll be in the
highland I mean it. There isn't q
standout club in the American League,
not even the Yankees. It's wide open. -
They say that Washington hasn't
enough pitching.
WELL" snapped back the old gen.
tleman, "have the Yanks, without
Rufdng? Has Detroit, which lot of
experts are picking? We've got bal
ance that covers lot of sins. The
team has plenty of power and by
gosh, it's the best defensive club in
the league.
Pitchers mean lot, but they can't
win all the games Good hitting and
fielding will make up for some of our
pitching faults"
Griff was reminded that Cleveland
has some fellows named Harder, Allen,
Teller, Whitehill and a few others.
But the Indians don't have the
stability Of some of the other teams,
like Washington's, f'rinstance."
With this he went out to prepare
Tor such festivities as greeting a fell
low named Roosevelt, comparing eye
brows with Garner, and counting the
"house."

Myer Is Big Difference.

BUDDY LEWIS, with a year of
steady play under his belt, is an
improved ball player. Cecil Travis,
who was not slated to play today, due
to a spike injury, finally seems to
have found his stride as shortstop
Buddy Myer-and this is Important
definitely resembles the Myer of 1885,
and Joe Kuhel, rounding out the in
held, is, of course, capable first
baseman and hitter.
True, Travis and Myer opened last
season, but neither stuck. III health
removed Myer from the game, and
half dozen men filled his post from
time to time-and with varying re-
suits. Travis never was at home at
shortstop until late in 1896, and this
position, too, was occupied chiefly by
transients.
Back Of the plate Shanty Hogan,
next to Myer, is likely to make the
greatest individual contribution to the
clubs improvement. Intelligent in
handling pitchers and hard hitter,
Hogan must be rated higher than Cliff
Bolton, who did the receiving a year
ago.

~ OSTON, April 1s.-Probably
- the smallest opening day
crowd in major league base
- ball history was expected to
watch the 1887 National League cur
tain roll VI this morning when the
Boston Bees and Phillies swung into
action 20 hours ahead of their rivals.
This afternoons half Of the Patriots
day double bill, however, WAS expected
to draw a $4,000 crowd, despite the
fact that the experts have doomed
both clubs to the second division.
Both managers, Bill McKechnie of
the Bees and Jimmy Wilson Of the
Phillies, who appear to have obtained
new pitching strength, predict their
clubs will improve their 1886 showings.
McKechnie awarded the opening
pitching assignment to Veteran Danny
MacFayden and was to call upon Jim
Turner, one Of his impressive rockies,
to start the afternoon game. Wilson's
pitching selections were Bucky WAL
tiers, former Boston infelder, for the
morning game, and Wayne Lancaster,
southpaw rookie, for the afternoon
contest.
The Bees. who completed one of the
most satisfactory-from q physical
standpoint-Spring seasons in many
years, will introduce such newcomers
as Vince Di Maggie, older brother of
the Yankees famous sophomore star;
Deb CAIRNS, who appears capable of
plugging the clubs third base gap, and
Elbie Fletcher, q hometown product,
who has won the first-basing job
away from Baxter Jordan, the clubs
leading slugger last season.

'37 Opener Marks Changes.

MEANWHILE. weather permitting,
- Washington's 1887 edition will
have been unveiled to some 81 1000 fans
by nightfall. 1t is a club similar to
last years outfit, which ran sur
prising fourth, but, all things con-
sidered, it is a club which must rate
as stronger than the 1886 team.
The '36 opener found Jesse Hill in

whom he was traded last Summer.
Chappie simply couldn't get along

Chapman is Powell's superior.

BY DILLON GRAHAM,


n ASE BALL fans can thank
* William Howard Taft for
founding the custom Of start
ing major league base ball
season with a presidential pitch.
It's been ~ years since Taft at
tended the Observation-Disclosures
inaugural here, April IA, 1910, and
tossed out the first ball. Every sue
ceeding President has followed his
precedent
Today Franklin Roosevelt was to
wind up his sturdy right arm and peg
one toward the pitchers box to be-
gin another Washington hiladelphia
game and send the 1887 big league
campaigns a-winging.
Pictures Of Taft, his arm drawn
back ready to throw, hang in the
Office of Owner Clark Crifnth Of the
Nationals. The plump President Is
smiling broadly. He wore a wing
collar, a big black cravat and a dark
derby hat. Surrounding him in his
box were military aides and several
women with the flowing, broad
brimmed hats popular in that day.

One Of JOhnson's Best.

A FER Taft had done his pitch
ing chore, Walter johnson treated
him to one of the best hurting exh1-
billions in base ball history. The Big
Train set down the Athletics with
single hit and won, 3 to O.
Only the crowd surging onto the
outfield grounds apparently kept
johnson from no-hit performance.
Gessler, running to catch q fly OF
Home Run Bakers bat, barged into
spectator and the ball fell safe.
Walter had pocketed the ball Taft
pitched and later the President au-
tographed it for him. Johnson has
the ball now, along with others signed
by Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover, at his Germantown, Nd,
farm.
Griffith considers Wilson and Hard
ing the top among the presidential
fans.

says. "They followed base ball closely
and came to the park often"
