GREENVILLE, N. c., April o.
Sixteen years ago people were fielding
with crystal radio sets and laying
away for the day when they could
buy parts to make an eight-tube
superhetrodyne. Women wore skirts
above their knees and men used to
gather to watch the proud owner
empty his Stanley steamer Of great
gohs Of black smoke. For q buck a
bootlesser would deliver = pint of
bathtub gin and leave you to de-
velop somach ulcers.
Sixteen years ago, too. . couple of
young ball players pulled on the livery
Of the Washington ball club. One
had long moose and . waddling walk
and was named Leon Allen Goslin.
30 he was called Goose. The other
was . quiet, German boy with deep
set eyes. His name was Oswald Louis
Bluege, and 50 he was called Ossie
Loom ~ Co-Rexulars.
Today. edging closer to the Amer
lean League barrier, which will spring
on April 1s, is another Washington
ball club. On the roster are the
names Of L. A. Goslin and o. L.
Bluege. They are 81 years old now
and here's the catch-each may be
what Owner Clark Grifnth calls a
"co-regular" in the 1888 flag race.
The possibilities Of this twin-saga
Of Goslin and Bluege are unlimited.
Goslin has been counted out twice as
a major league star. Bluege was re-
tired As regular four years ago.
They ought to be sitting on front
porch somewhere, in rocking chairs,
instead Of following the swift offer
ings OF the pitchers, digging after
screaming line drives and hurting their
bodies into bases.
Consider. II you please. the back
grounds. Goslin and Bluege were in
their prime back in 1924, when the
Goose played left field and Ossie
played third base on Washington's
first pennant-winning team and the
Capitals only world championship
club. In 1925 they again helped the
Grif1men to pennant.
A few years later the Goose was
traded to st. Louis. Bluege remained
as Washingtons third baseman, but
Owner Clark Griffith thought that
Heinie Manush would help the Mats
more than Goelin.
All Waive on Goose.
Grin wasn't right, nor was he
wrong. What the Mats needed was
both Manush and Goelin and. in the
end, Griffith wound up with both
He traded for Goslin in 1888, placed
the Gander in his outfield, and, 10

pennant.
