BY JACK CUDDY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, March 1.-(UP)-Our
good-neighbor baseball policy at
tains new high at Washington
this season; but it's strictly anti
Yankee.
Senior Clark Grifith has 10 Latins
-Cubans Mexicans and Venezuelans
on the Washington Senators squad
that will report for training at the
University of Maryland, March IL.
Bushy-bro Griffith-for years
the outstanding flater of the New
York Yankees in the American
leagues using his Latin legion as
one side of what he hopes will be
deadly pincer to wrest the Ameri-
can league pennant from the Yanks.
The other side of that pincer is
the 40 night games that will be
played in the capital city during the
"A season-night games in which a
quartet Of flutter-ball pitchers will
work their magic under the arc
lights-Haefner, Leonard, Niggeling
and Wolff.
Perhaps Griffith was feinting; but
he gave the Latin accent to his
pincers last night when he promised
over the phone from Washington
that his Spanish-speaking perform
ers would give the Senators just
the lift they needed to wrest the
flag from the Yanks. Griffith en-
phasized that during the later stages
of the '43 campaign, the second
place Senators came down the
stretch looking more like champs
than the Yanks.
For getting the Yanks and the
fiag-flght momentarily, there are
two noteworthy angles to Senior
Griffith's Pan-American use of so
many Latin American players: CD
They are not subject to the draft,
and ~ They have a large follow
ing in cosmopolitan Washington.
Griffith. once the outstanding OPP
ponent Of night baseball, yields like
a wand to the whims of his pub
lie That's why the Senators drew
100000 to their home games in 1913
third largest attendance in the
American league-and an increase
of 177.000 over 1912
Griffith will do much better this
year with his 43 night games and
with his Latin legion that is a dam
gerous challenger. for the pennant.
Senior Clark said last night, "1'm
sure that at least six of the Latin
PLAYERS will be regulars this season
Pitchers Alexandra Carrasquel. AL
berto Leal, and Santiago Ullrich:
Catcher Fermin Guerra and Out
tielders Roberto Ortiz and Epitacio
Torres"
Some of the others may stick, or
be brought in during the season.
For example, there is Pitcher Gil
berto Torres, brother of Outhelder
Epitacio Torres. OF Pitcher Gilberto,
our Cuban agent says, "Gilberto es,
para muchos cronistas Cubano. ell
iugador mas complete del momento."
Nope, We don't know what 1t means
either. And we're chuckling button
deep over the plight of Washington
baseball writer's. unless they've mas
tered Spanish during the off-season

Bengough New
Coach OF Braves

Boston, March / (U.P.) -
Bald Benny Bengough, peppery
American Lacquer and coach of the
Washington Senators for the past
four years, today had moved into
the National League as coach for
the Boston Braves.
The 46-year- old Bengough who
broke into organized baseball in
1917, said In a telephone conversa-
ton from his st. Louis home last
night that he was happy to join
the Braves organization"
Bengough viii serve with Tom
Sheehan, newly-appointed manager
of the Boston club who has been
with Minneapolis in the American
Association for the past five years.
Fans FavOrite
A bit on the pudgy side, the new
coach has been a favorite with fans
when the Senators played here be-
cause of his sharp remarks and
good-natured antics during games.
Bengough started in the major
leagues with the New York Yankees
in 1928 as catcher and played be-
hind the plate for seven years. In
1934-35, he managed the Washing
ton, Pa, club of the State
League and the following two years
piloted the Joplin, Mo-, team in the
Western Association. He moved to
the Newark Club Of the Interna-
tional League in 1889 and in 1910
joined the Senators.

(Spectal to The Democracy
New York, March lin his opin-
ion Of Beau Jack, Larry Amadee
may be slightly prejudiced. Which
Is only natural because Larry Anna

Beau Jack.
Amadee thinks the Georgia
Cracker-Jack will sweep through his
formidable March schedule Of
bouts which calls for q fifteen
round lightweight title meeting with
Bob Montgomery, of Philadelphia,
at Madison Square Garden Friday
night; ten-round match with AL
Davis, Brooklyn weller, at the Gar

match at the Garden March 81

holder, providing he (Beau jack
defeats Montgomery.
According to Amadee, fighters in
the old days would not have consid-
cred this program unusual and
Amadee considers Jack a fighter of
the old school.
Beau Jack thrives on work." says
Amadee. THE more often he fights
the better he Is. Because when ne
fights a lot he doesn't put on any
extra weight. It's extra weight that
has made Beau turn in some poor
fights.
Best Weight
Hes at his best when he weighs
under 1875 and his record proves it.
Take the night he knocked out Allie
Stolz and the night he knocked out
Tippy Larkin. He weighed exactly
1872 ia for those two fights and he
hit that very same figure the night
he regained the lightweight title
from Montgomery, which was also
one Of his best performances.
Know what he weighed when he
blew that decision to Bobby Ruffin?
Over 140. Made him logy. Couldn't
umtrack himself. He was 1879 pounds
the night he fought Lulu Costantino
and though Beau won he sure
wasn't too impressive.
That's why we're watching his
weight so carefully for the Mont
gomery fight Friday night. I plan
to have him come in at about 1873
pounds and no more than 1873 10.
That twill give him the chance to
take advantage of his speed and all
his ability and believe me he's got
plenty of It, He'll lick Montgomery
easier this time than he did the
last time"

For Joe Boksi, But Nova Gave
MourieIIo's Foe Fistic Notion
BY NED BROWN
(NEA Staff Correspondent

New York, March Joe Baksi
defeated Tami Mauriel'o at Madison
Square Garden last Friday night, but
It wasn't until he saw basketball
game here that he ceased to feel
like the hero of Gulliver's Travels.
The SiX-foot- one Inch, 210-pound
Baksi, newest heavyweight to crash
big time, got that way working as
Stooge for troupe of midgets.

A. & M. center, under one of those

those midgets must have felt along

Baksi literally. stepped into the
ring by inadvertently stepping on
midget by the way. He was dis
missed from the carnival when he
put down his foot on the star of the
cast.
BakSi was born of Polish parents,
January IA, 1922, at Kulpmont, Pa,
where his mother and three sisters
still reside. When his father was
killed in a coal mine accident, Joe
took his dads place, although he
was only nine. Exceptionally big
and strong for his age, he held the
job till he was 10.
ROUGH SPARRING PARTNER
Following his adventure with
the Lilliputians, Baksi returned TO
the mines, played semi-profesSional
football and baseball. A boxing
tournament among the players was
arranged in connection with one of
the football games. Baksi won it,
was rewarded with a So bill.
1t was on June /, 1940 that Baksi
exchanged the 81 for a seat to the
first Lou Navo-Max Baer fight.
After seeing this, young Baski con-
cluded boxing was easier than coal
mining and football.

A couple of weeks later, BakSi

Jimmy Bivins, with the same result
on each occasion.
Baksi has repulsed some of the
so-called leading contenders, in
Guiding Bill Poland, Gus Dorazio,
Buddy Walker, Herb Marshall, and
Johnny Shkor. He has had 43 fights,
won all except two. He dropped a
return bout to Dorado and a ques-
