Harris left Almada back in Or

vaded st. Petersburg to play the
Cards. He took Myer on the trip but
did not use Buddy. Instead, he plant
ed Bluege at second base and all that
young man Of 37-plus accomplished
was the making of four hits, the draw
ing Of base on balls, the scoring Of
a run and the usual matchless de-
fensive game, with two double plays
tossed in for good measure. Myer
hasn't had as good a day in the last
three springs
Bluege no longer is 154-game man.
The old boy has reached a point where
he wears down too quickly, but Ossie
now has assumed the potential status
OF co-regular. In other words. when
lett-handed pitchers face the Griffs it
may be that Bluege will play second
base in the same lineup with the
equally right-handed hitting Simmons
and Case. Against right handed
pitching Harris undoubtedly will use
Goslin, Almada and Myer.
Jimmy De Shong proved a sad dis
appointment yesterday in st. Pete,
In four innings the Cards raped him
for 9 runs on 10 hits, and when he
departed the National Leaguers held

chalance with which he took a matter
that might have steered his whole fu-
ture in different course.
For they had the power
those newly elected officers Of
the P. G. A.-to toss Leo out
on his ear, and they might have
done so.
Instead they chided him little for
being hasty in his choice of words in
an argument with National President
Jacobus last month; told him to make
public written apology to George;
suspended him for 80 days, dating
back to March 16. and then said: Leo
you've jumped of the reservation. But
you're pretty good sort of guy, and
you are our champion. Tell George
you are sorry, as we know you are,
and be good boy and don't let it
happen again"
One-Month Suspension.
Ofncially Leo's suspension expires
on April l3, which will give him plenty
of time to get his game in gear for a
defense Of his title at Old Point on
April % and a. And ofiicially the
reason for all the fuss over at the
Baltimore club over the suspension
first Of its kind in the history of the
sectional P. G. A.-was "a violation
of the code of ethics of the P. G. A."
The quotes are from Ralph Beach of
Baltimore, newly elected head OF the
sectional body. Nor would Ralph di-
late on what was behind 1t ALL Nor
Leo, who kept on hitting those pin
splitting iron shots.
It was all timed very well. Leo
apologized to Jacobus. The sectional
professional golf body has held
little trial and has already slapped
Leo's none-too-delicate wrist. Leo can
defend his championship and no one
is hurt.
Unless 1t be the pride Of
George Jacobus, the guy who
started it all by sending along
to the sectional pro body the
charges which the boys never
have made public, and won't
now.
Unoficially Leo will keep on playing
golf every day. And he'll be the
toughest kind Of hombre for the Coxes

turn match Monday night with Jimmy
Jones, his only conqueror in 18 pro-
fesslonal scraps and lone barrier to q
gold-plated summer season.
| Abrams, popular local Jewish mid
dleWeight, recently was fiattened by
the beetle-browed Jones after leading
the Baltimore boy on points until the
fifth round and through that one solid
poke Jimmy erased several enticing
summer bouts in prospect for George.
Only through whipping Jones can the
f1at-nosed Abrams hope to buoy his
drawing power, and, of course. obtain
more moneyed matches.
After baking at the terms, offered
by Ahearn. who was forced to shell out
$500 to- Jones, Manager Sgd Fishel

signature to contract. Georges slice

Freddy Steele thumped Hobo Williams

last night at Turner's Arena to earn
a unanimous decision in the TO-
rounder.
Deposited on the canvas inglori-
ously in the second round for a count
OF one with sizzling left hook to the
Jaw, the rugged Burman groggily re-
gained his feet and composure to
shellac Nader numerically.
Three times Nader sagged to the
noor, twice in the fifth frame and
once in the sixth and on each occa-
sion he refused to accept the aid of
count longer than one. The bell
saved him the necessity of taking a
more extended count in the sixth
round, when he collapsed into the
ropes before arising to stagger to his
stool.

point served as something akin to a
