HURLERS CO WILD

Failure Of Four Youngsters
Is Blamed on Too Many
Tutors at Camp.
BY EDDY GILMORE,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Clark Griffith, baseball's Old Fox,
longed today for a diamond disciple
marian to tame his young pitchers,
who've gone wilder than flaming
youth.
AS one wag put it:
They haven't reverted to type
they've reverted to tripe."
Call up their individual cases.
For the Senators this year he's
lost but for Salisbury last season.
Two of the victories we're no-hitters.
He was master of control
For the Nationals this year he's
won no games and in l3 2-3 innings
has allowed II hits and walked 10
batters.
Cannot Find Plate.
Ray Phebus grabbed three wins for
the sixth-place Senators last season.
and one of them was a one-hit game
against the Boston Red Sox.
This year he's won no games and in
6l-3 innings has yielded nine hits
and issued seven passes
Ken Chase-the speedy left-hander
who won four games for Griffith at
the tail end of the 1887 campaign,
beating the Yankees twiee-has won
no games in 1888 Hurting 9 91-3 in
nings. he has walked IL and pitched
eight hits.
Does a TurnabOut.
Joe Krakauskas, the rookie who
tipped four victories for the Senators
last season and struck out 18 batters
in 40 innings, was so wild this year
that he was sent. shack to Trenton.
From this corps of youngsters upon
whom the Senators staked so much
there hasn't been a single victory
About the only thing they've been
abundant with is-bases on balls
What's the trouble?
Baseball critics-Who went South
with the Senators-say it's the old
case of too many cooks spelling the
broth. Just about everybody in camp
tried to show the rockies how to

for tournament was the hardest Job
of the year. For some reason or other,
the fair racketers seem loathe to enter
tournament competition. They're not
afraid Of the competitive angle, as IL
lustrated by the numerous matches
they play in the Women's League. Why
they shy away from tournaments SIM
ply Is mystery.
And yet, The Star feels that with
this years tourney scheduled for such
site as Army Navy Club it will have
field SURPRISING either 1t has sent
into play the last two years.
The chief reason why 1t expects a
record entry is that there is no clear
cut favorite nor no defending cham
pion. Both Mary Cootes. who won The
Star Cup last year, and Edith Clarke,
the Districts No. woman player, are
out of town. Remaining ranking play
ers Of the first 10 appear so evenly
matched as to render foolish any pre-
diction. And there are q dozen or so
rising racketers ready to make their
first bid for recognition In local circles.
No Champ Has Repeated.
As a matter Of fact, no woman ever
has won the City of Washington
tournament twice. There have been
repeating champions in the mems.
Juniors and boys tournaments, but
tradition seems to work against any
female player from winning the City
tournament more than once. In the
10 years history of the City tourney
there have been 10 different cham
pions In order, they were:
1929-Frances Krucoff.
1930-Joe Dunham.
1931-Mrs Charles P. Stone
1932-Frances Walker Bassett
1933-Abbie Sard.
1934-Clara Tabler.
1935-Sara Moore.
1936-Margaret Robinson.
1937-Mary Cootes.
OF that group. Mrs Bassett. Miss
Moore and Mrs Robinson are the only
possible entrants. All of the others
either have given up competitive tennis
or have moved out Of town.
The question mark as to the 1898
champion thus becomes bigger than
ever.
