Of things, class, like cream, al

But the cases Of Travis Jackson
and OsSie Bluege are parallel in
more ways than one, and I find
myself hoping and also feeling con-

ways take care Of Ossie Bluege,
and in so expressing myself I am
not implying that anybody is ever

Ossie in the material sense of the
phrase.
Such was not the case with
Travis Jackson, either, by the
way. Jackson has not approached
the end Of his brilliant major
league career staring deprivation
in the teeth.
His appointment to the Jersey
City post is simply the recognition
by the Giants Of a good baseball
mentality and the retention Of it
within their own household,
coupled with a reward for an ex-
ceptionally meritorious big league
career.

Through So Early


OF course the system is no more
mercilesS in baseball than in any
other business. The youngsters
coming into any profession know
that some day they will slow UP
and newer, modern blood replace
them.
But this wiStful situation is more
emphasized in baseball than most
businesses, because a fellow gets
washed UP in the national paStime
at just about the age men in other
walks Of life are beginning to get
established.
On the other hand, baseball
offers an opportunity for pay ore
at an earlier time in life than
other callings can offer like re-
muneration, so restrain your tears,
me hearties, and lay aside the
crying towel.
Too, the game holds unlimited
lures for the few it produces with
especial abilities, men like Bucky
Harris and Joe Cronin and Bill
Terry and Jimmy Dkyes.
Comes to Top
In proportion, I suppose there
are as many big jobs for capable
men in baseball as there are in

1880 and 1881.
Although the foregoing para
graph indicates the superiority OF
irish 'chasers, this fact clincheS
the matter. ....
Scored Five In Row
Irish breeders and animals
scored five in O row, in 1920,
1921, 1922, 1928 and 1924 Troy
town started the quintuple with
his great victory in 1920 and was
followed by Shaun Spadh in 1921,
Music Hall in 1922, Sergeant
Murphy in 1928 and Master Rob
ert in 1924.
This record Of five winners in
five successive years, established
by Ireland, may never be equalled.
Since 1900, Irish entries have
finished one, two, three in the
Grand National on no less than
nine occasionSl
One of Ireland's plough horses
to win the Grand National was
Master Robert.
Master Robert, a son Of Moor
SIDE II and Dodds, was bred in
Donegal by Mr.. McKinlay. He
was sent to Curragh for schooling
when a two-year-old. However,
he was rated an overgrown
animal and his owner took him
back to Donegal and put him out
to grass, and later put him to the
plough.
Taken from Plough
He was taken from the plough
and sent back to Curragh for
schooling again and for training
and exercise with Troytown, who
was then being shaped for the
Grand National at Anthony's
stable. Strangely, in view of the
fact that afterward he became
known as the greatest Of all
'chaserS, Troytown was sold to j.
T. Elliott, Of Strabine, for $25O.00
Master Roberts great rival was
Silvo, for which the Master Of the
Cheshire Hounds, Mr.. Dinwood,
paid the then record price Of 10000
guineaS.

hard-belting heavyweight battler.
The Duke team was prepared to
attend the weighing in ceremony
which was listed for the C. U. gym
today at noon.
Both teams are undefeated in
their opening sessions last week.
Catholic U. punched out a II
decision over North Carplina State
in the C. U. gym with no less than
five Of the wins coming by way
of the knockout route. Duke took
over South Carolina last Saturday
night through an easy 60 win.
Naturally enough, the features
of the evening will involve those
battles in which Dukes cham
pions will perform. In the vel
terweight clash, Farrar Of Duke
will stack up against Fred Mix
of the Cardinals. Last week Mix
won a decision over Sorrell of
North Carolina State. Al Mann
will line up against Catholic us
star clouter, Joe Bunsa, in the
l55-pound battle. Bunsa knocked
out Tom Miller of North Carolina
State in two rounds last week.
Then, in the light heavyweight
performance, Dukes Ray Matuel-
wicz will engage Ed Dunno of the
Cardinals. Dunno popped out
Mac Howerton Of North Carolina
State last week, in the second
heat.
The Washington times., 1937-01-16

Also, 1t is to be noted, Irish
winners on several occasions were
taken from the plough and the
cab rank to be placed in training
for the great Grand National.
Billy BartOn's FaIl Costly
In this section of the United
States, whenever we speak Of the
Grand National our thoughts turn
to that gallant American-bred
and trained chaser, Billy Barton.
Billy figured in that memorable
1928 race when Tipperary Tim
was returned winner simply be-
cause every other horse in the
race fell.
In 1928, altogether AZ accepted
the issue. At the last fence only
two were on their feet-Billy Bar
ton, Americas and Maryland's
hope, and Tipperary Tim, "the
hopeless case" The American
chaser was about to pass Tip
perary Tim at the last fence and
to go on to win when he came q
cropper.
Billy Barton's jockey, T. Culli-
nan, remounted the American en-
try and finished second. Mr.. w.
Dutton, a solicitor practicing in
England, had the leg up on Tip
perary Tim.
incidentally, Tipperary Tim
was a so guineas horse. He was
bred by John j. Ryan at The Com
mons Stud, Cashel, County, Tip
uerary. and was sold as a year
ling for so guineaS at MessrG.
Goff's Dublin sales in 1913.
The Prince of wales once sold
a horse which subsequently turned
up as a winner Of the Grand Ma
tional. The horses name was
Ambush II, winner Of the 1900
Grand National and bred by Mr..
w. Ashe at Narraghmore, Kildare.
Called Greatest Sire
Probably the greatest sire Of
jumpers in history, AScetic, got
the winners Drumcree, 1908; Clois-
ter, 1898, and AScetic'S Silver,
1906. Ascetic also sired the dams
of the winners Sergeant Murphy.
1928, and one of the most noted
jumpers of all-time, Troytown,
1920. Troytown, incidentally, after
winning the Grand National, was
killed in a race in Paris.
Some notion Of how tightly
Irish animals have had the Grand
National sewed up may be gained
from he fact that quadruple wins
by Irish chaserS have been regis
tered twice and a triple once.
Kirkland, AScetic's Silver and
and Eremon completed a triple
win for Old Erin in 1905, 1906 and
1907. Jenkinstown, Glenside, Jerry
M. and Covercoat scored the first
quadruple in 1910. 1911, 1912 and
1918. Tippery Tim, Gregalach,

Griffith Likely
ToMake Trades
In Florida
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" ONE1LL,
Florida may develop into base
ball ivory exchange this spring
during the preseason exhibition
games. Trades that were proposed
but not completed at Montreal and
New York will be discussed again,
and perhaps counter propositions
will be made that will meet with
mutual favor.
This was indicated this morn
ing in round table chat at Grif.
fifth Stadium where Bucky Harris
and Clark C. Griffith went over
the rosters Of the major league
clubs. They checked off the
names Of various men in whom the
Washington club might be inter
ested under what Griff designated
as fair conditions"
After Catcher
Washington is in the market for
catcher. The other clubs know
that, and therefore may be ex-
pected to drive a hard bargain.
Washington would welcome a
couple Of pitchers. There is un-
ceasing clamor for pitchers on all
fronts. That complicates matters
no little, you learn from Harris
and Griff.
But in the spring in those
homely, intimate little chats that
precede exhibition games, the
managers will get together, talk
more or less frankly, and there is
fine chance Of real trading
activity.
It may be, for instance, that
when Washington meets the De-
troit Tigers at Lakeland, on March
%, the much-discussed Auker-and-
Wade-for-Newsom deal will be re-
vived.
Entirely Likely
It Is likely that an acceptable
compromise will be reached, and
interest in the teams will be stimu-
lated by the addition Of new faces.
Indeed, with Lakeland just two
hours distant from Orlando, it is
entirely likely that Clark Griffith
will drop in on President Walter
o. Briggs, Of the Tigers, and sur
prise the baseball world by swiftly
completing a deal.
The Red Sox will be at Sarasota
again, just few hours away from
Orlando, and the Yankees will be
in st. Petersburg. One-half OF the
American League clubs will be
concentrated within an area Of
approximately 100 miles.
Abbott Drops In
Spencer Abbott, one Of the
shrewdeSt and cannieSt minor
league managers in baseball
dropped in at Griffith Stadium
today for talk with Griff. When
old timers get together you can
bet on something worth while, and
in due course, Griff started to
reminesce.
81 wouldn't give my brother a
good bah to hit" said Griff. Il
wouldn't give a nickel for a
pitcher who would. Know why?
"WelI, I'll tell you. was
pitching a game for Chicago one
day. l had the other team
beaten, 8 to 0, in the eighth in
ming. Well, the other team sent
up a couple Of rockies, and l
thought they were easy.
Easy, eh?" grunted Griff.
"WeIl, they got four runs on me
and 1 couldn't stop them. They
also filled the bases with two out
and a good hitter came up. l
can't think Of his name. He
sOcked one, and Bill Lange tried
to make q shOe-string catch. The
ball took q bad hop, went for a
home run, and 1 lost in the
eleventh inning by a score Of
8 to g."
