Rigney was the clubs leading

Bloodworth, incidentally, will en-

Cramers conversation. Doc was
telling him that Bluege always had
been an effective batter against

Jimmy tried the same system

Travis and Vernon on base, he

CLEVELAND, June IL. - Like
Fritz Kriesler being forced to listen
to the screechy sCraping of an lnept
violinist. the artist in OSSie Bluege
is rebelling. The infield antics of
the Mats shortstop. Jimmy Pofahl,
have aroused the wrath of Washing
tons normally calm coach and he
believes he has remedy for a great
portion of the Mats ills.
The remedy consists of restoring
the 4O-year-ols Bluege to active
status and inserting him at short
stop. There have been worse Sug-
geStions. President Clark Griffith
is displaying no great haste in in
iecting a new face at that position
and If he intends travelling along
on what currently decorates the
Washington roster, Bluege's idea
merits consideration.
1t is accepted generally that
Bluege could wrap tea towel
around his paw and play a better
shortstop than Pofahl. They think

ExpIodes on Play.
There is nothing new in BluegeS
suggestion, but its more timely than
when he insisted he be classed as a
player in spring training this sea-
son. Cecil Travis had been shifted
from shortstop to third base, where
he is more adept, and Pofahl has
proved woefully inadequate as re-
placement. Ossie patiently awaited
developments before applying his
case.
Bluege rightfully takes an intense
pride in his fielding ability. No

with the Mats submerged in the Gel
lar and receiving sad shortstopping,
Ossie is eager to return to more
strenuous labor.
The play that made Bluege ex-
plode materialized in yesterdays tiff
here, in which the Mats became Bob
Feller's 18th victim and his eighth
straight as the Indians snatched a
Al victory. 1t didn't cost the Mats
the decision, but it was too typical
of Washington's recent infeld play
to pass unnoticed.
The bases were loaded with one
out in the third inning and the Mats
were trailing, 1-2, as the result of
Ken Keltner's homer which opened
the Indians half Of the inning.

Silent After Letter
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 11.-George Ha-
las, being a very busy man. has just
got around to asking Tom Harmon
If he wants to play pro football with
the Chicago Bears this year.
Young Harmon, the hottest thing
in college football last fall, has said
repeatedly that he wanted no part Of
the game. that he definitely was
through with the gridiron and that
radio and the movies would occupy
him in the future-that Is, If the
Army granted him deferment from
military training.
But the Michigan star never has
informed Halas-president, owner
and coach of the Bears-of his views
on the game. Even If he does nix
pro football, George won't be i'm
pressed
II wrote Harmon a few days ago
feeling him out on signing with us
for this fall" Halas said, but I
haven't heard anything yet. Every
body seems to think he'd make a
great pro player, but you never can
tell. I'm sure we could use him
some but he'd have to be mighty
good to replace our veterans"
Of course, Halas doesn't need
anyone to point out the box office
value of Harmon even If he qualified
for only 10 or Is minutes of service
a game.
The maestro of the Bears has
been dealing with these coy collie
gians for 20 years so naturally their
hard-to-get poses leave him cold.

at the current rate of Conn's wear

full that the little guy who brought

able to stand up by next Wednes-

For instance, Johnny came out Of

worst. dirtiest little bum I ever

Then there was yesterdays work
out. Billy was due for eight rounds
of Sparring at 100 pm. An hour
before that Johnny stopped in the
camp kitchen. and there was Billy
loading up on a double order of
ham and eggs. Johnny hit the roof,
and from the last reports he hadn t

That's how 1t has been. Day by
