No Investigation
lOfG. w. Planned,
| Saws NCAA Boss

Max harrington, director OF mems
activities at George Washington
University, today said he learned
from Clarence P. Houston, chair
man of the Compliance Committee
of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association. that no investigation is
under way by the NCAA of G. WIS
method of awarding athletic schol-
arships.
harrington talked by phone with
Houston at Tufts College, where
Houston is athletic director, regard
ing published reports that the G. w.
athletic setup Is being investigated
following dropping of seven Colonial
football players from scholarship
roles following poor shoWings in
spring football practice.
Houston said, according to Far
rington, that he had received news
paper clippings regarding the drop
ping of the G. w. grid players, but
that the NCAA currently was plan
ming no action.
Houston seemed to agree with
harrington in the latter'S conten-
ton that this was case Of under
emphasis on athletics instead OF
overemphasis, against which the
NCAA sanity code is directed. Also
the players were in school before
the sanity code was adopted last
october, and as the code is not
retroactive, probably would not be
included under it in any case
Houston told Harrington, however
that although the G.. w. case is
not being investigated at present
something might be done about
1t in the future If evidence warrants
There seems little likelihood Of that
however, Harrington said.
harrington added that he and the
school would at any time welcome
and cooperate with any investiga-
ton Of G. WIS athletic setup by the
NCAA or any other collegiate group

Job With Mats: Browns Invade

II never liked frankie Frisch, who
was managing the Pirates when ]
was there says Stewart" eve
didn't hit it of too well, but we
had one thing in common. We
both liked to see players giving
everything they had.
"Frisch called a clubhouse meet
ing one day for the benefit of some
of the fellows who were loafing
and said, You men go to bat an
average Of four times a day. It's
80 feet to first base and I don't
believe it's asking too much to run
that distance as hard as you can
few times every day"
Browns Here Tonight.
"It just strikes me as common
sense to hustle" continued Ed.
In the first place, you make a
better ballplayer Of yourself If you
do. Also, the manager and fans
will stick with you longer If they
see you're going all out"
Despite the Mats seventh-place
standing, they haven't adopted a
don't-care attitude. AS long as
Stewart is around the Mats will be
equipped with one player who serves
as an ounce Of prevention toward q
complete collapse.
Washington will carry an 8-game
losing streak into the opener of 9
3-game series with the sixth-place
st. Louis Browns tonight at Grifitf
Stadium, where Early Wynn will try
for his first victory in two months.
The Mats stopped over at Bridge
port, Conn, yesterday and inflicted
1875 beating on their Colonial
League farm club.
Stewart spanked the Mats attack
when he lifted a bases loaded home
run over the right field fence in the
first inning.
Dick Welteroth, who pitched last
year for Bridgeport started on the
mound for the Mats and was relieved
in the seventh by Milo Candini. Be-
tween them, they held the Bees to
seven hits.
Welteroth was presented q purse
Of 500 and articles of merchandise
during an lntermission in the game.

New York's Yankees are edging
toward the top of the American
League, but the Mats Ed Stewart,
once a Yankee, harbors. no regret
over the possibility of losing a
World Series cut. The best break
I've had in my baseball career, "
says Ed, was when New York
traded me to Washington.
Lest the scrappy Mr.. Stewart be
accused of having rusty mental
machinery, he explains: "a ball
player never makes big money
unless he establishes himself This
is the first chance I've ever had to
play regularly in the major leagues
and I'm happy to get the oppor-
tunity
Il was a reserve outfelder with
Pittsburgh in 1941 and 1912 and If
I had stayed with the Yankees this
year I would have been sitting on
the bench most of the time. With
Joe Di Maggie, Charley Keller,
Tommy Heinrich, Yogi Berra and
Johnny Lindell around, I would
have broken into games only as q
pinch-hitter.
With Washington I'm getting a
chance to show what 1 have. My
average hasn't been too high, but
I believe with steady play it will
improve. I've always played better
when I've been in the lineup regu-
larly"
Figures in Mats '49 Plans.
In support of those words is Ed
recent behavior. He is being en-
ployed regularly against right
handed and left-handed pitching
and in his last 18 games he has
batted a commendable .345.
1--we told Ed that he's going to
remain in the lineup for the re-
mainder Of the season." says Man
ager Joe Kuhel.
II like the way he swishes that
bat and like his spirit. He never
stops hustling and he very definitely
figures in our 1949 plans. He's near
ly 80 years old, but he takes good
care of himself and ought to have
several years of top-f1ight baseball
left"

Joost's Injury Is Blow
To As, 7 Defeats in
Last Il TiIts Show
ey the As.oc,otsd Pres,


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 24.-Ons
man doesn't make a major league
baseball team, but the loss of a
single player can play havoc with
a clubs chances in a hot pennant
battle
The Philadelphia Athletics are
ready to attest to the truth of that
statement.
The player involved is ShortStop
Eddie Joost, who injured his throw
ing hand sliding into third base at
St. Louis two weeks ago and hasn't
been able to play his usual brand
of ball since then.
The result of Joost's misfortune
is evident in the AS performance
in the last fortnight. From lofty
first-place position. the AS have slid
to fourth, three games behind the
front running Cleveland Indians.
AS Defense Breaks Down.
In their last II starts since their
recent Western road trip, the Mack
men have dropped seven while win
ming five-losing three straight to
the New York Yankees over the
week end. In those three contests,
the AS have made just IA base hits
and two runs, one of the tallies q
homer by Second Baseman Pete
Suder.
In their last five games, the Ath-
letics-one of the junior circuits top
defensive clubs-have committed
seven errors.
One of those misplays was by Joost
himself on Sunday when he tried
his ailing hand against the Yankees.
In the Sunday game-won by the
New Yorkers, 10-0-Joost let the ball
slip from his throwing hand as he
started what appeared a certain
double-play.
At the plate, where he usually
sparks the AS offensive play, Joost
fouled out weakly once and dribbled
to the pitcher before retiring to the
bench midway through the game.
Was Former "Iron Man"
'T guess I'll just have to wait"
Joost said. Its a question OF time.
The hands lot better than 1t was.
Maybe it will recover completely
overnight"
Joost's injury hurts the AS all
the more because of his iron man
record in the past. Last season, he
took part in all of the Athletics 154
league games except three. playing
several times with cold-induced
temperature. His only absences
were caused by his wife's illness on
the West Coast.
He has been "old faithful" this
year while a dozen other members
of the team have been sidelined by
sickness or injury.
The AS now have 81 games re-
manning. Without Shortstop Joost
they may be the toughest 81 games
the AS ever played.
