NEW YORK, March 2l.-Grapefruit
League, Citrus Circuit or Lemon LOOP,
whatever you call it, the annual spring
scramble of the Is big league ball
clubs is under way, with the Chicago
Cubs, st. Louis Browns and Detroit
Tigers setting the pace.
Each of the three teams has a spot
less record, but there are extenuating
circumstances. The Cubs have played
only three times and the Tigers but
once, while the Browns are enjoying
the rare atmosphere of first place on
the strength of four victories, three
OF them scored over Tulsa of the Texas
League and one over a semi-pro outfit.
Giants Press Leaders.
The New York Giants are fourth.
They have won all but one of their
eight games and have scored 76 runs,
more than any other National League
team. The Cincinnati Reds, morning
glories of the Southern circuit in 1887,
are fifth, with five victories and one
defeat.
The Giants and Reds have had
great success with National League
teams. Each club has won all three
of its games against National League
teams and the Giants also have taken
three out of four from American
League rivals.
The Philadelphia Athletics have
played the most games GD. scored
the most runs (88) and had the most
runs scored against them Q0D. They
have won only six of their games.
Mats Tie for Sixth.

plotting the Tigers when Fothergill
played for Detroit, and it was
Moriarty who got him a job with the
White Sox later.
Ken Chase opened the game yes
terday at Lakeland by walking the
first three Tigers. This brought up
Hank Greenberg, with Rudy York on
deck. Ken was lucky to get out with
only one run scored.
Harry Eisenstat, former Brooklyn
pitcher, started for the Tigers and
gave up only one hit in three innings
George Washington Case got it when
he singled to open the second inning.
1t was Cases first appearance in a
game.
In his three innings Chase gave up
six runs, five hits and issued four
bases on balls 1t was pretty close to
par for the course
Case was charged with an error by
the official scorer in the second inning,
but he didn't deserve it. With Mark
Christman on second base, Eisenstat
singled to left. Case heaved to the
plate and should have nabbed Christ
man by 10 feet, but Rick Ferrell mufTed
the ball. 1t was Rick's boot.
Lakeland was the *" that marked
the spot year ago for Pitcher Jack
Salveson. The Tigers murdered him
and Bucky Harris had nobody else to
put in the game. A few days later
he was sold to the minors.
1t didn't take Rudy York long to
find the range. On his first trip Rudy
was robbed Of an extra-base hit by
Melo Almada. On his second try
York plunked one over the left-field
fence, poke of about 800 feet.
York's clout gave Greenberg an idea.
He raped one over the same fence
in the sixth inning with a man on
base.
After beating out scratch hit on
his second trip to the plate, Case
was taken out of the game and Bobby
Estalella given a chance. Case re-
injured his left foot slightly when he
slid into third base.
Johnny Stone hit sure-flre double
to left field in the fifth inning, but
loafed running it out When he
arrived he found Charley Gehringer
holding the throw from Chet Laabs.
Rocky didn't even slide. In the i'm
mortal words of Kingfish Levinsky,
he must have been in a transom. Or
else he stopped to pick daisies In right
field on the way.
With the bases loaded in the Tigers
eighth, Frank Croucher lifted short
fly that fell among Travis, Estalella
and Almada. It should have been a
base hit, but Almada's quick throw to
Bluege at third base forced Birdie
Tebbetts, although Greenberg scored.
Tebbets spiked Biuege on the slide,
forcing him out of the game.
Bluege sustained more Of bruise on
his foot than a cut. He probably
won't be able to play tomorrow against
the Reds, however. Lewis Is about
ready, though, and will open the game.

~ RLANDO, Fla. March 2l.-
1 Two interesting items served
to make talk in the training
~ camp of the Nationals today
in the wake of their l3-to-0 rout by
the Detroit Tigers.
Uncle Clark Grifith forsook his
placid attitude and berated his ball
club for being stone dead, by sin"
The old gentleman accompanied the
club to Lakeland and stormed out
furiously as the Tigers slapped Ken
Chase and Joe Krakauskas to a fare
thee-well
I'm disguised" snorted Grin this
morning. Apparently he hadn't cooled
off a great deal. Il can hardly wait
until that big Bonura gets here.
Maybe he can pep up this ball club.
It's the deadest club I've ever seen"
Grif today said he would order
Manager Bucky Harris to round up
the squad and that either he or
Harris, or both, would give them a
talking to-"
Especially fellows like Johnny
Stone, Buddy Myer and Cecil Travis"
fumed G. They stand there like
wooden Indians and take a beating
like that 13-to-o business. Those
Detroit pitchers weren't that good.
They ought not to have held us to
four hits. One of those hits, by sin,
was gift, too"
Evening star., 1938-03-21
Griffith Peeved at Myer.

GRIFFITH'S announcement was a
rare thing. Last year, in mid
season. he ordered Harris to stick a
long pin in the various hides of his
hirelings. but, as rule, Griff permits
his athletes to pursue their own
courses.
without Bonura and Simmons in
that lineup it amt a-got no life" he
walled at length. zone thing you've
got to say for Simmons is that he
tries hard and battles. But he can't
wake up that club by himself. Maybe
he and Bonura can do it between
them.
That team We had yesterday didn't
have fighting player on it. Myer
was dead man. So was Travis. That
Stone is always dead Almada hasn't
got any life and Buddy Lewis is
getting to be a softie, too. I'll wake
'em up. I'll build a bonfire under
those fellows"
Griff seemed especially peeved at
Myer When he was feeling lousy
I could excuse him." quoth the old
gent. But he's okay now. He feels
all right, he says. but what does he
