Green Hornet's S, but
Cox Wins Match

Popular opinion has it that the
Green Hornet currently is the No. l
rassling villain in Washington, al
though he lost last night to Joe Cox
in a match that was supposed to
be for the mat toughie title.
Cox was declared the winner by
Referee Casey Berger, but the
Hornet displayed enough rough tao
tics to earn popular displeasure and
at the end the crowd from safe
distance) was threatening him with
bodily harm He was disqualified
when he tossed both Cox and Ref

Yeur, Says LoeffIer
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.

Workmen have started preparing
the ground at East Potomac Park
for the long projected array Of
tennis courts and other playground
facilities southwest Of the railroad
embankment, cutting OF from play
three or four holes Of course G on
the public layout which is the heart
OF the Leoffler links kingdom.
The move to cut up the golf
course between the East Potomac
Park fieldhouse and the railroad
embankment long has been con-
templated, and Leoffler had made
plans to replace the holes which
will be lost to the public links
golfers. The move is the first cur.
tailment of golf at East Potomac
Park.
Replacement of the tennis courts
and other park sports facilities was
necessary. Leoffler explained, be-
cause of construction of the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial on the bank
Of the Tidal Basin.
OF the nine-hole golf course
northwest of the fieldhouse only
five holes will remain this year,
Leoffler said, and those may go
next year when the sports expan-
sion program at East Potomac Park
continues. Leoffler plans to con-
solidate several holes along the east
roadway of the park with the rem
nants Of course G into what will
be a l0-hole golf course.
I'VE will sell tickets for nine holes,
but the course really will be a 10
hole layout" he said.
The Washington tourist camp
now occupies considerable space
southeast of the railroad embank-
ment and the new tennis courts
will be built east of the tourist
camp. Other sports facilities next
year will take in much of the land
along the golf course roadway be-
low the railroad embankment.
1T will cut into our golf in some
measure" Leoffler said. But we
have made arrangements to re-
place the holes and compensate for
the loss. One of the par-5 holes
south Of the fleldhouse roadway
will be cut up into two, and in
stead of the 9-hole course known as
G we'll have a 10-hole layout"
For several years East Potomac
Park has had four 9-hole golf
courses or 36 holes in all. This
year 1t will have about 80 holes, and
next year will have three 9-hole
layouts,

Tribe Weary Of Hearing
About Priddy, Rizzuto
BY JOHN LARDNER.
Special Correspondent of The Star.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. March 81
tN.AN.A0. - Smile when you say
"Priddy and Rizzuto" in front of a
Cleveland Indian. Laugh out loud,
In fact. The Indians have heard too
much about Gerald Priddy and Phil
Rizzuto as the worlds greatest sec
ond base combination.
Naturally, every ball club boosts its
own product. The New York
Yankees are free to yell hallelujah
for Rizzuto and Priddy, spectacular
recruits who have just joined the
mother club from Kansas City. Riz-
zuto is a daisy and Priddy is a pearl
But when every critic and GUS
toner in the grapefruit league begins
to whistle the same chorus 1t gets
little tiresome for rival firms. The
Indians, for example, have been tired
of it for a month, and now are ready
to fight at the drop of Rizzuto.
The Indians have a second base
combination of their own - Lou
Boudreau and Ray Mack. For all
the money in the Cleveland camp,
that's the best combination there is.

Greatness Pretty Cheap
Now, Soys HemsIey

Greatness is pretty cheap these
days observed Ralston Hemsley.
the Cleveland catcher, with a pleas
ant scowl the other day. Here's
couple OF kids who never played
game Of big league ball in their lives
and already they're great. Rizzuto
and Priddy. Boy, they'll have to
show me.
"Our guys, Boudreau and Mack,
put in a full year at shortstop and
second base last season, and they
were terrific. We don't have to give
our word for it. We don't have to
show no minor league press clip
pings. Everybody saw Mack and
Boudreau in action. And If you
think a pair like that comes along
every year-well, you're crazy"
The Indians stand firmly on the
platform that no second base COM
bination can outfeld Mack and
Boudreau for the simple reason that
1t is physically impossible. They will
hear no argument on that score.
Having settled the fielding side of it,
they open fire from the port beam
with the hitting records.

Yonk Publicity Enough
To Couse Eoroches

Neither side could prove case,
but now, with Gordon shifted to
FIRST base, the Red Sox have the
satisfaction of knowing that their
man Doerr is beyond doubt the best
second baseman in the business.
I do not blame the Cleveland
players for grousing about this years
Yankee publicity. 1t does get little
wearisome hearing about Rizzuto
and Priddy before they have shown
their stuff in the big tent, and it
does seem too much to believe that
another such pair as Boudreau and
Mack has come along so soon.
But Boudreau and Mack mean
more to the Indians than ammuni-
ton for an argument. To put it
briefly, they mean everything. Cleve-
land had strong clubs in the last
few years, but never just the right
club. There was something missing.
The Indians were good wood, but
dead wood.
This is the contribution of the
firm of Boudreau and Mack. Until
q better firm comes along, we'll have
to give them our custom.
