WEAVER POINTING
TO PITCH OPENER
Nat Vet to Test New Slab
Style Tomorrow in Tilt
With Cardinals.
BY FRANCIS e. STAN,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star,

ORLANDO. Fla. March 15.-The
Gashouse Gang Of st. Louis, headed
by staggering Ducky Medwick and
the Dean man, invade Orlando to-
morrow to open the Grapefruit League
season for the Nationals. And Monte
Weaver, the erudite right-hander,
makes his first bid for recognition
as Washington's opening American
League game pitcher.
Called by most of the qualified
training camp observers as the most
advanced National pitcher, Weaver
will get his first test against the Car
dinals. Monte is scheduled to work
q three-inning stretch. Elon Hogsett
will make his debut in a Washington
uniform for another three innings and
Jimmy DeShong will do the rest Of
the hurting.
Manager Bucky Harris admits that
Wesley Ferrell Is the likely choice to
land the opening game assignment.
But there is nothing definite about
Wes' appointment. A year ago Buck
Newsom was the logical man, but
Joe Cascarella wound up as the
starter. At this writing only Weaver
impresses as a rival to Ferrell for the
coveted honor. Monte, starting his
seventh season with the Mats, never
has pitched an opening game.
New Wind-up Interests.
Coach Clyde Milan is one who touts
Weaver. Hes the best pitcher in
camp right now," says Milan. Hes
throwing harder than anybody else
and he is getting the ball over the
plate, despite his new wind-up."
The new wind-up of Weaver's is
another development which will be
watched with keen interest by the
Griffmen tomorrow Monte has junked
his old, slow, two-handed wind-up
The new one, done with one paw until
he is ready for his pivot, is a faster,
more positive kind of a motion. In
batting practice it has seemed to add
to Monte's deception. Mr.. Medwick,
assisted by Johnny Mize and others of
the Cards, will throw more light on
the subject tomorrow The Cards, who
were beaten by the Yankees, Ga, in
their opening game. are somewhat
ahead Of the Griffs in training.

BY AUTO COLLISION
Truck Hits Car Carrying Weaver,
Myer-De shong's Fishing Cast
Hooks Clubhouse Boy.

3, . Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ORLANDO, Fla, March 15.-Three
Washington ball players and Freddie
Baxter of the clubhouse staf1, the only
real casualty, today were shaking OF
the jitters brought on by two mishaps
yesterday.
Monte Weaver and Buddy Myer
figured in an auto accident that saw
the formers car considerably damaged
by a collision with q truck without
material injury to either of the players.
Baxter, though, victim of Jimmy
De Shong's bad aim in making q cast
from boat on fishing trip, received
several hooks in the side of his head
and had to be taken 80 miles to
hospital to have them nemoved. Fred
die, who also was given tetanus anti
toxin, was rapidly recovering from the
ordeal today and De shong. who was
greatly upset BY the accident, probably
was the worst sufferer Of the quartet.

was procured from the Browns in
trade. The Chief always gave the
Nationals fits when he pitched for
Detroit and st. Louis Maybe the
Mats are inclined to oYerrate him as
result. Anyway, they will find out
how it feels to have Hogsett on their
side. De Shong is more or less taken
for granted.
The Kuhel-Jimmy Wasdell battle
will be renewed and with added in
terest. So far the veteran is out in
front. In the batting drills he has
been outswatting his younger rival
and in Sundays game he banged four
hits in five trips. Wasdell comtered
with triple that drove across a run,
but it did not match Kuhel's outlay.
1t is doubtful if Rookie George Case
will play. Cases toe still is too sore
to permit him to run we'll and George
may sit it out, paying the price of
sliding too often for the benefit of the
movie cameramen. Thus the bid of

delayed.

Today's Church
Message
WHERE TRUE RELIGION
REGTNS
BY REV. J. EVERETTE NEESE,

It seems that the world, today, more
than ever before, is seeking afte.
pleasure. Young manhood and woman
rood turn to pleasure as the mott.
seeks the candle. If the pleasure is
not found in the home, then it is
sought for some where else, and corr
sequently ii does not take much coax
ing to lure the young people into
cheap cafes, pool rooms, and dance
halls. If we are to have moral reform,
it must begin at the proper place.
The home.
Fathers must not put business and
clubs before the moral and spiritual
welfare Of their children. Mothers
must sever their connection with
clubs and societies if that COM
nection constantly keeps them FROM
the fellowship of their offspring.
Thus, I say, true religion has its
root in the home; and if the child has
no respect for the church and the
religion of Christ, perchance it is be
cause you and I have failed to realize
where true religion begins.

OF all the Adamses, that family

probable that the name Henry and

This is the centennial of Henrys
birth, which occurred in Boston, OF
course. His father was the Charles
Francis Adams who was the third son
of President John Quincy Adams. He
received the customary Harvard edu-
cation. His grand tour" was also
in the Adams tradition, for it was TAX
en- as a U. S. diplomatic representa-
tive. He was on his fathers staff at
the embassy in London.
On his return, he became instructor
in history at Harvard (of all his many
educations, Adams thought that of
school-teacher the thinnest), and he
joined Henry Cabot Lodge in establish
ing the North American Review as
one of the most distinguished maya
zines ever published in this country.
There followed a succession of his
torical works, notably his History of
the United States 1801 to 1879 the
best work dealing with the admins
trations of Jefferson and Madison,
when the real character of this nation
was formed. His masterpiece, how
