ment, IS of the nations leading
golfers were to tee off here to-
day in the fourth renewal of the
Augusta Masters Golf Tourna-

Henry Picard, the Candy Kid, "

to say:
This Jones was and still is
the greatest wood club artist the
game has ever known"
Willie Macfarlane, Sam Sneed

in predicting that if Jones ever
does stage a comeback that it'll
probably be this year or never.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April /.
Two defending champions from
the Sunny South and AZ chal-
lengers for National Intercollegi-
ate Boxing titles today awaited the
gong that will send them out to
fight for scholastic boxing's high
est honors.
Excitement was heightened by
a postponement Of the draw for
preliminary round bouts, originally
scheduled by tournament director
Grip" Twoomey for yesterday,
and postponed until all teams ap-
peared.
While both the defending cham
pions, Danny Farrar, 145 pounds.
and Ray Mautlewicz, 165 pounds,
of Duke University, were to be
seeded in their respective classes,
lack of records which would estab-
lish favorites may cause matching
of outstanding entries in first
round competition tonight.
The Maryland University repre-
SentativeS, Tom Birmingham, 1875
FOUNDER, and Ben Alperstein, 1885,
pounder, are in perhaps the
toughest divisions of the card.
Should either or both manage to
crack the semifinals or finals
Friday and Saturday, they will be
up against conference champions
and Golden Glove winners.
Both sluggers, however, are in
the best physical condition and
are ready for the opening gong.

by FhANN DUN " NEAAA
ORLANDO, Fla, April 1.-Presi-
dent Clark c. Griffith will study
the farm hands at close range
today, as the Washington club
motors over to Sanford to play
Chattanooga. Unless Bucky Har-
ris changes his mind, Buck New
som will pitch for washington.
Frank Peticolas will be on the hill
for the Lookouts, in all probability.
Ken Chase will wish the Griffs
good luck today. The wild and
Woolly youngster, whose smoking
fast ball and cracking curve are
nullified because of poor control,
will be back one of these days.
Just as soon as Chase acquires con-
troll he will be right back on the
big time.
Well, blow me down! eyes, sir,
I'm forced to borrow from Popeye
on this one.) Here I've been de-
luding myself for years that OSsie
Bluege was the best infielder in
baseball, when I read a statement
that the woods are full of OSsle
Blueges."
The American League wasn't
full of Blueges last year. All he
did was lead the third basemen,
the second basemen and the short
stops. He hit .288, and his life
time average is .273.
If the woods are full OF ball
players like Bluege, I'd like to
have the job of scouting. Life
would be one sweet song for the
man who could pick UP one Bluege
every four years.
Among the battling turns in
baseball is the nomination of Buck
Newsom for honors as "a con-
sistent 17-game winner" He won
II games in one season. His pre-
vious best was 16 victories for the
St. Louis Browns.
When you're figuring reasons
for the Griffs finishing third or
better this season, do not forget to
include Prof. Monte Weaver. The
pedagogue is in better condition
than he has been for several years,
and he certainly knows how to
pitch.
Weaver has cured himself of the
very bad habit of grinding" his
curve. That was sufficient to tip
off the smart signal snatcherS and
hitters that the hook was coming
So they stepped back and waited
for the fast one.
Buddy Myer announced that he
is in condition and ready to &C
at top speed for the season. He
hit the ball better yesterday in
practice than in any time thus
far this season.

to middlin' hand at outfielding,

TAMPA, Fla, April 1.-The
Cincinnati Reds, who haven't been
in the first division since their
second place finish in 1925, hereby
are picked by Manager Charlie
Dresser to make a battle for q
place among the leaders in the
coming National League race.
In the cellar four straight years,
from 1881 through 1884, the Reds
began their comeback in 1885 by
moving up into sixth place, and
progressed to fifth last season.
Dresser believes the forward surge
will leave his hustling team at
least a notch higher when the end
is reached next fall-barring an
epidemic Of tough luck meanwhile.
Observers foresee the same pos
sibility, agreeing that Of the Sec
ond-division clubs, the Reds are
standouts in nearly every respect,
and look like team being built to
60 places.
POWERFUL ATTACK
eve figure to have q more
powerful batting attack next
season, far better pitching, q
pair Of the best catchers in base
bali and the same hustle Of the
last few seasons" Dresser said
today in summing up improve
ments since the finish of last
years race.
"There will be more punch In
our infieIds I'm sure, and as for
the OutfieId-it should be posi-
lively o. K, If Kiki Cuyler has
as good a season as he had in
1885. The only thing 1 can't
plan against is the breaks. With
any kind of luck we ought to do
ali right"
The pitching staff again will be
headed by big, able and right
handed Paul Derringer, who won
y games last season, with Ray
Davis, Benny Frey, Gene Schott,
Bill Hallahan and AL Hollings-
worth among the followers.
Included among the newcomers
is Southpaw John Wander Nicer,
husky 23-year-old strikeout king
Of the minor leagues, who famed
295 batters while winning 10
games in the Piedmont circuit
last season.
Other rockies expected to stick
are Lloyd Moore, young right
handler. and Bill Josedel. in his
late 20s, but also a highlander
with a record Of 20 victories at
Portland last summer.
The catching will be handled
largely by Ernie lombard. the
old standby who hit 1888 last
season, and Virgil Davis, obtained
during the winter from the
Cardinals.
Myers at Short
One change in the infield is
certainty and another is possible,
with several likely candidates COM
peting with the regulars. Jimmy
Outlaw, who hit $50 at Nashville,
is expected to start at third base
in place of Lew Riggs. while Bill
Myers again will hold down short
q large part of the time, Alex
Kampouris will be back at second
and Les ScarSella at first.
However, Frank Mccormick, a
lusty hitter from the Piedmont
League, may see some service at
first base and Charlie Colbert, the
ex-Cardinal, will be called on for
utility duty at third, short and
second.
Punch in the outfield, in addi-
ton to that to be provided by
Cuyler, who compiled an average
of 1926 last season, is expected
from Phil Weintraub. the former
Giant and Cardinal Who hit .371
at Rochester, and possibly joe
Dryer, a 1888 performer at Nash
vile, with Ival Goodman and other
holdovers present as well.

Sanford goes in for baseball in

We're swinging into the last

It may be the last week here for

is definitely established that this

If the Griffs do not come back

One week from today the Griffs
