NORFOLK, Va. April Bar
ring sudden reversal of form,
Washington's 1943 third baseman
will be hard-working little Ellis
Clary, who has captured the fancy
Of Manager Ossie Bluege and now
owns the inside track for exclusive
rights to the job.
1t was fiery, cocky Clary who
wedged his way into the hearts of
Washington fans last season with
his unquenchable spirit, but Clary
Is convincing Bluege on ability. He
is beginning to resemble a major
Lacquer, a chance he didn't have
last year when he was playing out
OF position at second base.
Clary had been shifted around in
the tight little Washington farm
system for years before he reported
to the Mats last season following
the complete collapse of Bob Re-
pass and the failure to play of sore
armed Frank Croucher. He came to
the Mats from Chattanooga as a
1858 hitter, and in early games with
Washington appeared to be the type
who would be lucky to hit $50
against major league pitching.
He wasn't much of hitter for
nearly two months, but in the last
month of the season Ellis got hot.
He batted nifty 375 for that final
80 days. He never impressed any
body as second baseman, prob
ably because he never had played
second base before.
Wants to Play at Third.
But Bluege diagnosed that sit
uation. Everybody was saying Clary
didn't have a good arm, but when
Bluege took command of the Mats
he said, "Clary isn't a bad ball
player. He has a good arm, but he
looked bad because he didn't know
anything about playing second base.
I'd like to try him at third"
Third base is where Clary would
prefer to be. Il feel better over
there" he explains. Il played short
stop and third base in the minors.
but I never played second base until
I got to Washington. I'd rather
be at third"
And that is where Clary will be
unless what Bluege recently has
been seeing somehow hasn't been
true. Clary has been whacking ter
rife liners in batting practice, and
yesterday in fielding practice he
came up with balls that had Bluege
beaming.
Bluege will stick with Gerald
Priddy at second base, abandoning
an original plan to put him at third.
He rapidly is being convinced that
Clary will be his third baseman.
Ossie isn't tossing in the towel
on George Myatt. He plans to give
Myatt thorough test in Washing
tons exhibition games, playing him
against right-hand pitching and
employing Clary against southpaws,
but Clary thus far has had it all
over Myatt in practice.

good as it would have after three

Observers here are inclined to
overlook Boston's very serious out
field situation while waxing enthu-
siastic about the clubs dozen pitch
ers, the fact that the catching staff
is stronger than last year and the
proba ability that the infield will be
one of the most presentable in the

Outfield Questionable.
The question that every one here
IS sidestepping is the outfield.
Aging Pete Fox, who was ailing for
considerable part of the 1912 CAM
paign and played in only II games,
is the one certain regular. Al SIM
mons, even more aging (almost 40
years old in the record books, is
making valiant effort to get into
playing shape, but it hardly is con-
ceivable that he can do more than
pinch hit and make a few occa-
sional appearances in the outfeld.
In fact he and Fox between them
may not be able to total 154 games.
This means that the brunt of the
patrolling must fall on three rockies
Tom Mcbride, who batted .331 for
Little Rock; John Lazor, 309 hit
ter at Louisville, and Bob Garrison,
who had a .295 average at Fort
Worth. This trio together produced
a mere 13 home runs against minor
league pitching last year, which in
dicates that even If they get their
hits they are not going to provide
much power.

finished licking Toronto in a play

Man to Beut This Year

Some dark horse, such as Bobby
Doerr or Charley Keller, could step
up and take it all, but while both
Doerr and Keller are first-class
threats neither is a percentage hit
ter. Doerr has hit over 300 only
once since he joined the Red Sox in
1887 and Keller hasn't hit 300 since
his freshman year in 1899, when he
batted 1874.
Spence probably will go to the
post the favorite to win the cham
pionship, possibly with the lowest
average since Ty Cobb captured it
with 1924 in 1908. He could be the
fourth Washington batter in his
tory to snatch that honor. Ed De-
lahanty, with 376 in 1902: Goose
Goslin, with 379 in 1923, and Buddy
Myer, with 349 in 1885, were Mats
to win the American League cham
pionship.
This year the .232 hitter of 1941
should be the man to beat for the
championship.

Few Big Butters Left

That would leave Spence, Gordon
and Case as the leagues only recog-
nized 300 hitters. Taft Wright batted
1888. but he was in little more than
half the White Sox games. Cronin
batted .304, but he was at bat only
79 times. Spence was at bat 629
times.
OF that top trio, Spence is most
likely to succeed as the leagues
leading hitter in 1943. He is more
superior to Case than the slight
difference in their averages would
indicate and he is likely to be more
consistent. His is stylish stroke.
Case is temperamental and when he
is in slump isn't as likely to bounce
back as Spence. When George
isn't hitting we'll he takes to ex-
perimenting and thus far it hasn't
helped him. He was in the groove
last year and may remain there,
but Spence looms as the more logi-
cal choice.
Gordon appears to be Spence's
chief threat. I'D have to take
Spence over Gordon" says Coach
Clyde Milan of the Mats. because
Gordon goes for that home run
more than Spence. Gordon is a
dangerous hitter. but with the ex-
ception of last year he never batted
300 with the Yankees. Spence may
get few home runs, too. but they'll
come as the result of his normal
stroke. He'll get more hits because
he won't be shooting for the fence"

The determination of 100000
Jews in Axis-occupied lands, the
mass murders and deportations
the pillaging and looting, the in.
justice and barbarity of every
conceivable form perpetrated or
innocent victims at the hands OF
the Nazis have plunged the free
dom-loving world into horror and
mourning. More than that, Nazi
terrorism has spurred the free
world into action. The United Ma
tons, in the historic Declaration
of December 18th, and again in
the warnings issued by Allied
leaders and governments, have
promised full retribution for these
crimes when the victory has been
won. Not only those who give the
orders but also those who carry
them out will be held to strict
accountability for these offenses,
it is asserted. The Governments
in-Exile have already drawn up in
dictments against major Offend
ers.
The inter-Allied commission for
the trial of the Axis war Grim
inals, according to recent press
reports, has been working for
several months on the establish
ment of an international criminal
court to bring the criminals tc
justice when the war is over. II

Professor Glueck, in a state

clared: II know nothing of the

that I am working on this subject
in connection with a seminar in

Although the rumor, apparent

Born in Warsaw, Poland, de-

merchants, Dr. Glueck became a
naturalized citizen of the United
States in 1920. He began his ca

stenographer. While attending
college and law school he worked
in the Solicitors Office of the
United States Department of
Agriculture and later in the U. S.
Shipping Board. He served in the
first World War as Ordnance Ser

1925, he has taught at Harvard

In 1926 he was engaged in
study of police systems through
out Europe for the President of
the Rockefeller Foundation, and
in 1928 he made a study of the
Belgian Ministry of Justice. He
was official delegate of the U. S.
