By Eddie Ash Washington Overcomes Fans’ Apathy mum Bill McAfee One of Senator Hopefuls a tt a Windy City Mat Promoter Unwinds

GRIFFITH has poured enough oil on troubled waters this winter to overcome much of the ill feeling that cropped up in Washington when he released the veteran Walter Johnson as manager. First, the Senators’ prexy selected Joe Cronin, most popular of the team's players, to succeed the Big Train and followed this move by strengthening the club. Bringing back to Washington the colorful Goose Goslin, slugging outfielder, worked wonders among the disgruntled fans and they hailed the return of the “Wild Goose of the Potomac” with widespread acclaim. Moreover, Griffith engineered the acquisition of southpaw pitchers Walter Stewart and Earl Whitehill, both highly regarded in the American League, experienced hurlcrs of no mean skill. Big league experts are saying Washington now is the most improved first division club in the junior major loop and the Chicago White Sox the most improved of the second division occupants. Os course, it's a risky experiment naming young Cronin as pilot. He is only 26, is of the high strung type, may go to pieces and be ruined as a ball player. That would be a terrible price to pay for an experiment. However, Cronin thinks he will withstand the double load of player and pilot and bear up under the punishment that comes when a club falls into a slump. Joe is fired with ambition and fought his way back from the minors after Pittsburgh had found him wanting and sent him down the river to Kansas City. From an unwanted pastimer, therefore, Joe climbed the hill again and developed into the leading shortstop of both big leagues in the field and at bat. non tt a tt BILL McAFEE MAY HAVE ‘ARRIVED’ THERE is every prospect that Cronin's Senators picked up a "sleeper” gem In Bill McAfee, right handed college flinger formerly with the Chicago Cubs. The Bruins included McAfee in a deal with the Boston Braves that brought pitcher Bob Smith and outfielder Lance Richbourg to Chicago. Bob and Lance no longer are with the Cubs, Lance is in the minors and Bob is with the Cincy Reds. McAfee was a star with the Michigan university nine when picked off by the Windy City Nationals. He is a right hander, 25, stands 6 feet 2 inches and weighs about 185. He is originally out of Georgia, the Cracker state, b\it his parents now reside in Chicago. McAfee was sent by the Braves to Montreal last year where he won eight tilts and lost nine and was in twenty-three games. There was some confusion over a deal during the last part of the 1932 campaign between Braves and Baltimore and in some manner, Washington grabbed McAfee at the big league waiver price. Owner Griffith was alert and snared the young pitcher. McAfee’s first performance with Washington was against the Chicago White Sox and he turned in a five-hit victory. Bill twirled his way to six victories against only one defeat with the Senators during August and September. He was in eight games and worked forty-one innings. He started five games, completed two games, was taken out three times and finished as relief man in three games. tt U n st tt tt NOTHING WRONG IN THIRTY YEARS! JOHN V. CLINNIN, chairman of the Illinois athletic commission, has launched a campaign to rub out horse play in wrestling. In other words, he has grown tired of watching the hippodrome boys go through their antics. Clinnin’s declaration stirred up a lot of squawks in the mat fraternity, but the loudest was supplied by John Krone, veteran Chicago promoter. Without batting an eye, the well-known Windy City matchmaker expended a load of wrath and shouted that Clinnin was making an unjust accusation and surely couldn't put the finger on John Krone. Preposterous! Here is Krone’s statement, in part: “I never have seen anything wrong in wrestling in thirty years as a promoter. It seems hardly probable that any promoter could induce these high class gentlemen to stoop to monkey business on the mat. Many of the best wrestlers of today are college graduates and are taught the love of fair sport.” You tell ’em, John, old boy, old boy. You win all of the medals for talking through the old hat. Try an airplane spin for breakfast, a double Japanese toe hold for lunch and top off the day with a flying tackle and dive between the ropes for the evening dinner. a a a a a a DOUBLE HARNESS, SEVEN-DAY WEEK IARRY GILBERT has been demoted and will manage the New Or--J leans nine this year. He was promoted to business manager a year ago, but the depression knocked him back. Last season’s kick in the club bankroll totalled $30,000 and Jakie Atz was relieved as pilot. Gilbert doubtless will be asked to work in double harness, and baseball is played seven days of nearly every week. Like following the bangtails, backing a minor league club nowadays is just another way of kissing the dollars good by. a a tt tt a a A statistical hound has figured that injuries to football players in 1932 cost the student grid warriors 12,632 days of classroom activity. Well, let the technocrats worry about it. The players prefer to forget it, if the professors will let ’em. a a a a a WHEN Reggie Root appointed Bucky O’Connor backficld coach at Yale and retained Adam Walsh as line coach, one more Notre Dame system eleven was added to the eastern list. Another addition will be Fordham, taken over by Jimmy Crowley. Walsh and Crowley were members of the same Rockne machine. Crowley was a Horseman and Walsh was a Mule. tt tt tt B tt tt Irvin Jacobs, nationally-known horse trainer and one of the best, learned the business out of a book. He used to be a pigeon fancier. a a a a a Johnny Gilbert, champion jockey of 1932, is the protege of Doc Gilbert, a horse doctor of Pittsburgh, Kan. Gilbert is an Armenian and assumed the name of his teacher. His Armenian name is unknown in the sports profession. D tt tt tt tt tt What? No Swedish massage today!

This request puts the writer on the spot, as Barrett is a teammate In the St. Philips No 1 League and also quite husky. As our public must be satisfied no matter where the logs fall, however, here goes: The St. Philip No. 1 League charges a sausage fine of 10 cents for games under 135. the sausage being used at the St. Philips No. 1 League annua! picnic.

Alices Stop Garrison Finish to Whip Artesians; Little Is Hero

BY VERN BOXELL MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 7. It was just a Little matter for Vincennes to defeat Martinsville here Friday night, 24 to 21. This slight and curly-haired youngster, one of the' two veterans pastiming for John Adams this year, tossed in six buckets for the Alices—most of them when they v.ere most needed. A Garrison finish almost put Martinsville over the hump. Glenn Curtis’ star forward arched a pair through the hoop from out near the fifty-yard line late in the game which brought the Artesians up within one point of the Alices. But Little came galloping and shooting to the Vincennes rescue, and it was all over. It was an evening of disagreements. The youngsters on the hardwood disagreed in no uncertain manner. The scorers couldn’t get together on the score. The referees couldn't agree on the decisions, and the artesian water didn’t agree with your correspondent. Martinsville and Vincennes always put on a colorful scrap. And Curtis and Adams do their bit with | sideline antics which have become legend. But the fans didn't “go” for this one Friday night. The crowd was noticeable by its absence. Both the Artesians and Alices still are in the raw, unpolished state, and basketball players, like nature, seldom are mild in the raw. It was a rough game from go to quit. All the action and suspense was crowded into the final minutes of play. Vincennes stepped out 5 to 3 at the quarter. At the half, the scoreboard showed 10 to 6, Vincennes. John Adams objected and said it should be 11 to 6. Glenn Curtis objected to Adams saying that, so they called in the referees, W'ho decided the Vincennes mentor was right. At three quarters, it was 17 to 15. Vincennes. Martinsville missed Three out of four free throws quicker than you can say “wonder why Sally Suddith didn’t go back to I. U.,” so Vincennes decided to end it all. with little Mr. Little doing the firing.

Legs Turn to Rubber and Eyes to Glass as Heavies War at Garden

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 7. —Heavyweights bounced around on the garden carpet last night like cocoanuts in a tropical hurricane.* There were seven delightful brawls and four of them ended in the embalming parlors. “What more can the people ask for?” demanded Wise Guy Johnston, the matchmaker, as he stood at the ringside after the slaughter beaming in the gore of it all. “How’ about the battle of the Marne for an encore?” suggested a sadist from Tenth Avenue. Anyone interested in the grotesqueries of the human bodv would have found the evening profitable. Legs turned to rubber and eyes turned to glass. The crude chemistry of the militant fist is productive of grisly sights. ana NOT many of the parishioners were in the pews when the services began, but those who were stayed until the last hunk of beef had been, offered up to the Queensberry gods. Nothing satisfied the parishioners so much as an orgy of carnage. It must be that it's great fun to see somebody else get his ears knocked off. I wish the freshman class in psychology would look into this and tear off an enlightening monograph. it The wind-up brought Ernie Schaaf of Boston and Poreda of Jersey City together. They didn’t stay together long. Poreda wound up on a little -white cot, murmuring feebly, “Save the women and children first.” u a a The young man lasted six rounds. Which was five more than seemed possible after the fight got under way. From the second round on he was fighting for a reprieve, on his nerve and on feet that seemed undecided whether to call a taxi or a chiropodist. o a tt WELL, you can’t say Poreda can’t take it,” commented a front row guest. “And you can’t say he didn’t have a lot of practice tonight,” somebody cracked back. Such goings on! ana The Jersey man began to fade like a two-dollar henqa wash in a shower when Schaaf cracked him with a jolting right hand near the close of the second round. He took four, got up and then took another right that sent him sprawling into the ropes as the bell gonged. “Is the joint pinched?” he asked, wabbling back to his corner. a a From then on it was simply a question whether Poreda would be able to leave the premises under his own power or in the arms of his nearest relatives and closest friends. He was in there swinging but the pitching was too fast for him. a a a SCHAAF looked pretty impressive, even if he did let his man hang around too long. A sharpshooter would have locked the desk and called it a day in the third round when Poreda was floundering around like Hack Wilson in the sun field. Either Schaaf is not a sharpshooter or a sharp thinker. Still he got his man. Police Commissioner Mulrocney couldn't have done more. # n ts “The mistake Poreda made was in not boxing him,” insisted one of the critics. But it seemed to me the mistake he made was in getting into the ring with him in the first place. Or in any place, for that matter.

Big Ten Cage Race Opens Tonight ith Full Card

By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 7.—The annual declaration of basketball warfare takes place in the Western Conference tonight. All teams will be in action, and every Big Ten quintet has suffered at least one defeat during the preconference program. The schedule follows: Purdue at Minnesota; Northwestern at Illinois: Indiana at Ohio State; Michigan at Iowa; Chicago at Wisconsin. Early signs that Purdue would be an easy favorite to repeat its triumph in the titular race of last year have been given severe jolts lately. Early loss of Ray Eddy, a defeat by Pittsburgh, and illness of Ralph Parmenter, star guard, who is not likely to face the Gophers tonight, have combined to cast doubt on the
