Tonight's wrestling show at Tur-

Fourteenth Street burst with such
masculine pulchritude. If it's

If you like 'em tall and dark as

Martinelli, who faces Murphy in
one of the featured bouts. and
then there's Jesse James, the
Grecian influence in the mat
game, who might have been
termed the Gorgeous Greek" If
CHIMNEY LondoS hadn't taken the
monicker some years ago.
Jesse will tackle a primitive
looking specimen named King
Kong, who looks like something
that lived with Robinson Crusoe.
Kong has a set of whiskers that
would frighten a barber, and he's
supposed to be so big, Jesse prob

an athletic sense, the training
season Of the Washington Griffs,
which closes locally today with
another game against the Boston
Bees, was dismal. The Griffs won
their only game against major
league competition on March 16. q.
Their victims were the st. Louis
Cardinals.
Since that red letter day, the
boys have beaten only Mime
apolis, Kansas City and Column
bus, representatives of the AIneri-
acn Association. They lost four
games to the Detroit Tigers; two
to the Cincinnati Reds; two to
the Boston Braves, and one to the
Cardinals. They also blew one de-
cision to Chattanooga.
Not much of a record as you
scan the cold black figures, but
disappointing beyond the circum-
stance Of winning or losing, was
the inability of Ken Chase and
Joe Krakauskas to show major
league form. It is not stretching
the truck to say that the 1898
training trip of the Washington
ball club was dedicated to the
task of schooling these young
sters, and developing them into
starting. winning pitchers.

Both Chase and Krakauskas

the Yankees no little. Both Stan

youngsters.
The three best pitchers in camp,

AS between the business acu-
men of the two. you've got to
lean a little toward Rupert
who, Judging oy his real estate,
brewery and baseball holdings,
must have a pretty fair idea
Of values.
Nobody begrudges a ball
player getting every dime avail
able for his services. for the
active span of a performer in
the Yanks of the national past
time is short at best compared
to other professions and indeed
he must gather his fortune
while he may.
But believe the level-headed
baseball fan must expect his dia-
mond favorites to use judgment
in his salary demands and I
therefore doubt if too much SYM
pathy is being shown DiMaggio

Offer of $4,000

These talents IN time were
recognized to the tune of a
prefer of a $4,000 raise for
1898 bringing a player into his
third year of major league base
ball up to a $4,000 yearly
salary.
I wouldn't be too positive this
is the first case of such a rapid
advancement in baseball, but I'd
be fairly certain of it. Surely it
isn't a common circumstance.
So the showdown is on be-
tween Giuseppe and Jake, with
no sign of a break.
DiMaggio evidently thinks he
has the Yankees in the preca-
rious position Of failing to win
their third straight pennant
should he not be in the lineup.
The spring exhibition show
ing of the team would justify
such assumption by Joe.
Whether or not his absence
would cause the champions to
falter in the approaching Amer
lean League race, Joe's attitude
now isn't any too tenable in
view of the fact that over and
above his fixed stipends the
last two years he has had the
benefit Of two straight world
series cuts.

Notable Examples

Rupert has a pretty good rec
ord for recommending his ath'
letes and it is difficult to believe
he is retrenching from his policy
of paying for worth. Two of the
highest-priced men ever in base
ball, Ruth and Gehrig, are proof
that the New York magnate does
not deal with a meager hand.
In the words of Al Smith,
therefore. let us look at the rec
ord wherein DiMaggio is con-
cerned.
The young San Francisco sea-
food specialist was brought into
the Yankee fold out of a minor
league in 1886 and while still an
unproven major performer drew
$1,000.

didn't particularly set the league
