The Washington times., 1937-03-24
By FRANK BUCK O'NEILL


ORLANDO, Fla, March "a
The pitching of the Washington
Griffs in the Grapefruit League
holds the interest of baseball
men, and not without cause.
After bowling to the Giants on
March II, in the opening game
of the exhibition series, the Griffs
have come on and won four
straight victories. They stopped
the Cardinals, Phillies, Red .SoS
and Tigers. And what's more
they beat these teams in com.
manding style.
What Is the secret of all this
success? If your agent may
hazard a guess, a lot may be at
tributed to some grade-A major
league catching by large j.
Francis ("Shanty") Hogan, and
the not so large but quite as
plucky Walter Miles. Hogan
and Miles have been doing some
nifty receiving in the last little
while. They have guided the
pitchers in a way that augurs well
for the future.
We discussed the matter OF
catching and its relation to sue
ceSsful pitching with Stanley
Raymond Harris. He is enthus,
iastic in his praise Of the receiV'
ing department.
"We've been getting fine
catching" said Harris. 81 watched
Hogan against the Tigers yes
terday and he was great. He gen.
orally calls for the right pitch.
The pitchers love to work with
him. And did you notice him go
for that foul by Walker? Great
catch, it was"
Just to check on Hogan's work
your agent went over the record
of the games in which he has
worked. Hogan caught 27 innings
in five games. In those contests
the Griff pitchers allowed 9 runs
and % hits.
Six Of those frames were against
the Giants, and the, National
League champions made 6 runs
and hits. This was not surprising
for the Giants were far ahead OF
the Griffs in all departments OF
the game.
Excluding those six frames
Hogan has guided the pitchers
through 81 innings allowing runs
and Is hits. That's at a rate of
run every seven innings, and OF
course, the eneimy is not going to
win often at that rate. It may be
said that NewSom, who was hit six
times by the Phillies, had a couple
Of scratch blows drop in on him.
Charley Gehringer retains his
Smooth-aS-silk style in playing
grounders. He smothered Kuhels
grounder with the greatest of ease,
making the play look easier than
it was in reality.
1t looked for minute as If the
Tigers would hit nothing but
triples. Walker stepped up and
smacked a three-bagger to left
center and Pete Fox whacked one
up against the right-center field
fence. Fox, however, was run down
and retired between third and
home when his venturesome spirit
overcame his judgment.
We had a radio announcer at

Lakeland who was a honey. For
the first three innings he failed
to call one play correctly. Finally
Logan, Detroit pitcher, made a
wild pitch, which, according to the
radio ace, got away from Catcher
Hogan" Matters were somewhat
complicated when he then an
nounced Hogan hitting for Wash
ington, which was correct, how
ever unusual it might have sounded
to the audience. Incidentally, the
wild pitch was described as a "low
ball"
Goose Goslin, the veteran out
fielder, viewed the game from the
vantage of the grandstand. The
Tiger outfield was strong without
the Goose.
Sington continues to whack the
ball. He dropped a shot into
right field the first time at bat,
and walked his second time UP.
We find ourselves wondering
whether or not Fred will bat in
more runs than his fielding let's
score, although so far he has been
all right.
Mickey Cochrane wasted little
time with Joe Sullivan. When it
became evident that the little
Southpaw was troubled by lack of
control, Cochrane warmed up an
other pitcher. Sullivan, however,
struggled out of trouble, thanks
to fine throw by Walker that
got Stone at the plate, and
double play made possible by Ro-
CELLS gallant effort.
sgd Cohen threw screw ball
to Hank Greenberg which the
first sacker missed by good foot.
The ball slithered up to the plate
and then dipped viciously away
from the swing of the bat.
Then Greenberg tagged a curve
ball, sending it high and deep to
Chapman.
There was an interesting little
bit of play in the fifth inning with
Kuhel on first and Sington at bat.
Kuhel bluffed a steal and Geh-
ringer covered, figuring that Sing
ton would hit toward left if he hit
at all. On the next pitch Kuhel
bluffed again, and this time
Rogell covered, figuring that Sing
ton would try to hit through to
right field. Sington, however,
crossed them all up, and waited
patiently. He finally drew a pass.
Dick Lanahan is getting smart.
He pitched three perfect slow balls
in the seventh inning and got all
three Of them in for strikes.

III. Right and Wrong Are Funda-
mental and Eternal (vv. 26-32.
It needs to be repeated over and
over again in these callous and in
different days that there is Laid
down in the very constitution of The
entire universe a moral distinction
between right and wrong. Right is
always right, and wrong is def
nitely and eternally wrong. There
is no moral twilight zone, where
things are neither white nor black,
but a neutral gray.
Christian workers need constantly
to bring this truth to bear on those
to whom they minister. To dc 50
thew must first set an example OF
consistent Christian living. The
Lords work is often hindered by
careless living which nullifes Chris
tan profession.
Note that the difference between
right and wrong was 70 be the same
.on the other side of the Jordan"
Time and place have no power to
change moral law. What was right
or wrong for your great-grandfathcr
IS right or wrong for you. What was
right in your home on the farm IS
.;rht in the city where you now live,
or vicc-yersa. The passing of the
years or a change Of residence does

ALLEY PAVED IN
STORM WATER PLAN

City workmen have begun the
preliminary work for paving the
alley running north and south, be-
tween Broadway and Wayside
avenue. The alley has been dug
up for the concrete foundation.
This is the beginning of pro-
ject ordered recently by the Mayor
and Council to relieve storm
water conditions. An outlet for
this water will be made at the in
tersection of an alley running
east and west and which alley is
intersected by another alley run

A modern school house was
erected few years ago but the
grounds remained in a rather in

additional land has been purchas-
ed at a cost of $500, and with this
added the school grounds will
cover an area of approximately
three acres.

The labor of improving the
school grounds will be done by
w. P. A workers and it is plan
ned completing the work as soon
as possible. The cost, it is I'M
derstood, will be approximately
$4,000
The work of grading the high
way through Chewsville,- which is
an unincorporated town. will be
completed by next spring. The
grading to be done will conform
to the concrete sidewalks which
have been completed. With the
grading of the highway, draining
conditions in the town will be
greatly improved and much more
safety to pedetrians assured.

choices. While it is true that ma

Many earnest men and women be-
lieve that the United States OF
America stands today at the cross
roads of national moral decision.
There has been an unquestionable
decadence of true religion, of home
life, of social purity, and a growth
of moral indifference and outright
wickedness which causes men who
think to cry out for a revival of old
fashioned spiritual and moral stand
ards ere it be too late. The most
effective, and in fact the only really
effective way to bring that about.
is a revival within the church OF
Christ, and resultant renewal Of
its service in winning men to Jesus
Christ as their Saviour and Lord.
