TouChd0Wners
Continue Fight

Thrown for a loss when in the
opening maneuver of its drive to
bring a stadium and auditorium
to Washington, the Touchdown
Club today is plotting a more
strenuous fight than ever. Harry
Stull, vice president of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations,
alone of the civic groups, attended
the meeting called by John F.
McGovern, president of the Touch,
down Club.
The Board of Trade, Chamber
of Commerce, Hotel Men and
others were looking out of the
window, or maybe at the movies
But a careful check failed to dis,
cover any representatives at the
meeting. Maybe they weren't mott
fled.
George Brobeck, active leader in
the stadium campaign and a for
mer star at washington, spoke
for President McGovern after the
meeting:
II hope that no one figures we
are going to quit because Wash
ingtOn business men do not ap-
pear interested in bringing
thousands of people to the Cap
ital City for athletic events.
This in only our opening ges-
ture. We will get our second
wind and try again. The Touch
down Club has no interest in
the drive other than bringing
good athletic contests to the Dis
trict, and there must me a few
civic minded men who are not
afraid of a little work."

KEGS will be invited as guests Of

Joe Cronin recently commented
on the similarity of Bob Feller'S
jerky arm motion to that Of
Smoky Joe Wood. That may or
may not augur as to Feller's fu-
ture, for Wood did not endure too
long in the majors.
The great pitchers in baseball
who enjoyed extended careers had
something that Wood didn't have,
and apparently Feller lacks
rhythm. The purely arm" pitch
ers whose bodies didn't synchron-
ize with the pitching motion have
generally faded sooner than those
with an easy motion.

strike out king.
Tom Drake of the Southern AS
Sociation is a kid who may be a
winner in the big time. He had
a good record with Birmingham
and his ability is not wholly re-
Elected in the records. John
Wyatt is coming back from the
American Association, and has a
fine chance to win a regular
place for himself. Joe Heving
is another comeback from the
American Association who may or
may not be ready for the big
time.
AverilI Is TOpnOtcher
The catching will be done again
by Billy Sullivan and frankie
Pytlak. The former is the better
hitter, and is not a bad receiver.
Becker and HeIf, the last named
from New Orleans is a possibility
in the catching department.
Earl Averill ranks as the top
outfielder, but the most colorful
of the Tribesmen is Bruce Camp
bell, who fought his way back
from the Vale of Shadows when
meningitis gripped him twice.
Campbell is a fine ball player, and
his courage needs no eulogy here.
Solters and Weatherly are out
fielders, and the latter is one of
the most promising youngsters
who ever came into the big tent.
The punch of the Indians prob
ably will be supplied by Averill,
Trosky. Solters, Sullivan an
Campbell against certain kinds of
pitching.
Appraising the Indians, they
rank second to the Boston Red
Sox as problem teams of the
American League. The Tribes
men fought their way to second
place last year and held it for a
while, but they lacked the quality
to stay in the high places, and
slipped back. Maybe they'll i'm
prove this year, but they must be
rated strictly as an IF team.
