Nat Deal Looms With Coin Coming in: Critics Routed as Breadon Signs Aces
- *, --*-1 ♦-* i-1 * --
YAWKEY PAYMENT
TO SPUR GRIFFITH
Second $100,000 on Cronin
Due—Bolton Signs—Club
to Retain Schulte.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
LOOK for a deal by the Washing
ton ball club any day now.
Wads of money soon will be
rolling into the Nationals’
treasury and Clark Griffith will have
plenty with which to get those ex
perienced pitchers his outfit can use.
More of that Cronin sale dough is
coming along. Tuesday. Tom Yaw
key, the young multi-millionaire
owner of the Red Sox. will turn over
to the Washington club the second
$100,000 payment. And a month later
will come the final payment of $50,000.
That'll make $250,000. all told—great
base ball purchasing power.
The Nationals really will be out of
the red and Griffith will have some
thing more substantial than weather
beaten veterans to offer in exchange
for useful hurlers.
There's a deal cooking now with a
rival of the Nationals in the American
League, but Griffith, pursuing prece
dent. won't spot inquirers an inkling
of what he has in view. "Another
week or two. and my ball club will
have something new in a pitching
way." is all he'll admit.
He likes to be mysterious, this cagey
Washington club prexy.
Still Hankers for Hadley.
T/f LITTLE risky, perhaps, speculat
ing on what Griffith may have
in mind when it comes to this
deal he says is being negotiated. There
Is good reason to believe, however, that
the Old Pox is after Bump Hadley, the
flinger he failed to frisk from the
Browns during the major league ses
sions in New York last month.
This because Bucky Harris is so
keen about the pitcher he was the first
to handle in the American League.
That was in 1926. when Bump stepped
from an industrial league in Massa
chusetts to join the Nationals at their
training ramp in Tampa. Even that
early Hadley appeared to have every
thing to make a successful pitcher.
And Harris still believes Hadley would
be just that if carefully managed.
It was a blow to both Griffith and
Harris when the deal made for Hadley
In New York crashed at the last
minute. And the conditions of that
deal were such that its failure stung
Rogers Hornsby as well. The Browns’
manager saw in it considerable benefit
to his club.
With the Washington leaders and
the St. Louis pilot feeling as they do
about the Hadley proposition, a deal
involving the pitcher would not be
surprising.
Schulte to Stick With Nats.
NOW that the coin is coming in,
Griffith comes out flatfooted
with the announcement that
Fred Schulte, stalwart outfielder, will
not figure in any trade the Nationals
might make. That despite previous
statements from Washington club
headquarters that big Fred was trad
ing material.
Schulte actually was put on the
market at the end of last season when
Griffith was touting to the skies A1
Powell and Freddie Sington. gardeners
brought back from the Albany club.
These two younger players would per
mit Washington to dispose of Schulte,
it was said at the time. And at the
New York meetings Schulte still was
on the market.
Looks as if Griffith isn't so sure of
his younger outfielders as he professed
to be. Both hit well with Albany last
year and both have signed Washing
ton contracts for this year. But hit
ting in the International League isn’t
busting ’em in the American. And
Schulte, with Manush and Stone,
should give the Nationals an outfield
With a telling punch.
After all that .298 Schulte batted
last season isn’t to be despised.
Linke'* Arm Coming Around.
REPORTS from Chicago Indicate
that Ed Linke might be a great
help to the Nationals this year,
after all. The pitching arm that went
•'dead'’ so mysteriously late last season
apparently has come around to form
once more. At least the reformed
fat boy so informed Griffith when
sending in a signed contract a few
days ago.
Linke informed his boss he had
been exercising the arm under a
surgeon's direction this Winter and
that, now he is able to chuck almost
as well as ever. He Is confident Im
provement will continue and that he
will show up at the Biloxi training
camp ready to take up work where
he left off before his arm failed him.
Should Linke manage to do that the
Nationals would have a sparkling slab
prospect. In his brief term with the
Nationals last season—he was with
Chattanooga most of the time—Linke.
In four starts, won twice and flashed
a world of stuff.
Bolton Gets in Line.
11INKE. incidentally. Is the first of
j the older lot of Nationals to get
in line for the new season, but
hard on his heels is Clif Bolton, hard
hitting young catcher, whose signed
contract was received in the mall yes
terday along with that of Johnny Mi
halic. recruit second baseman from
Chattanooga. Bolton's quick action
this year is in direct contrast to the
North Carolinian's attitude last sea
son. when he held out until midway
the campaign.
His work after he finally reported
proved so high-grade, however, that
Clif was doing most of the catching
until a finger was broken near the
end of the year, and In the coming
flag chase he is expected to open as
the Nationals’ first-string receiver.
While Griffith, as usual, declined to
divulge the terms, it is understood
Bolton received a considerable boost
In salary. Clif and Mihalic boosted
the signed Nationals, excluding Man
ager Bucky Harris, to nine.
Nothing has been heard from any
others excepting Sid Cohen and Leon
Pettit, southpaw slabmen drawn from
Chattanooga. They have squawked
about terms offered. They mean so
little to the club, though, that the
squawks cause no concern.
Mix-Up in Exhibition Date*.
r RIFFITH In completing the Na
tionals' schedule of exhibition
games for the Spring training
season must unscramble a situation
brought about by the Cleveland club’s
premature announcement of engage
ments with the Washington club.

Eastern, Tech, Cofavorites,'
Will Be Put to Telling
Tests This Week.
BY E. A. FULLER. JR.
FANS figure to have a pretty good
idea as to who's who in the j
public high school basket ball j
championship series by fhe end
of this week.
Both Eastern and Tech, cofavorites ,
! in the title hunt and winners of the
opening engagements last Friday, face j
further real tests this week. Eastern, i
defending champion, which scored
over the green Central quint on Fri
day. will engage Western in the latter’s !
first series test on Tuesday. Central
and the Roosevelt Ruff Riders, who
bowed to Tech in the other game Fri
day. will take the floor in Tuesday's
other match. Eastern and Western
will square off on the Roosevelt hard
wood and Central and Roosevelt will
settle their differences at Tech.
On Friday, both Eastern and Tech
are to see action, the former against
Roosevelt at Tech and the latter West
ern at Roosevelt.
OLD rivals face Wednesday, when
Georgetown Prep has it out with
Gonzaga on the latter’s court...
One improvement in the Tech High
gym is the draping of the windows on
the west side of the building, where
heretofore the sun has streamed in.
much to the annoyance of both basket
ers and spectators . . . Doubtless the
playing of one game, each on different
floors, instead of a double header re
lieves the series contests of much of
the tension that formerly character
ized them and certainly the arrange
ment permits every one to get home
before supper, but somehow we must
admit the new plan is not popular
with us . . . much of the drama of the
competition is gone and the atmos
phere lacks that electric something it
seemed to have . . . maybe we ll get
used to it. though, before the series
is much older.
Borries Supplies Winning
Punch After Lions All But
Overcome Lead.
Annapolis. Md —The Navy
court men. led by Buzz Bor
ries.. topped Columbia by 21
to 9 at the end of the first
half of today's basket ball game, lost
their pace when the second period
began, had their lead cut to a single
point, and then led to win by a lash
ing game, 33 to 24.
Playing was fast and furious at all
stages, and Jim Casey, Lion center,
retired by the four-personal route
early in the second half. His direct
opponent, Borries. though incurring
three in the first period, held on until
two minutes before Jinal time, when
he took the journey benchward for
the same reason.
Navy Margin Fades.
CARL FELLOWS, Navy forward.
started the scoring with a long
side shot and Borries. Tomb and
Dornin registered from the line in
that order. Nash scored from the
floor to cut the Navy's lead a point,
but Borries, Dornin and Mandelkorn,
scoring in succession from the floor,
gave the Navy a comfortable lead
of 11 to 3. the half ending 21 to 9.
Columbia took on new life at the
opening of the second half and cut
the Navy's score to a point, the fig- i
ures being 21 to 20 after 11 minutes
of play.
Buzz then came to the rescue with
goals from the floor and line, Dor
nin adding a field goal which again
made the Navy's lead substantial.

Dizzy’s Donkey Downs Daffy
Persuaded to Round Bases After Elder Dean
Nicks Brother for Long Hit.
By the Associated Press.
BRADENTON, Fla.. January 12.
—Dizzy and Paul Dean were
looking around for new
worlds to conquer today
after playing leading roles in a
donkey base ball game here. Diz
zy's team won, 2 to 1,-at the ex
pense of a team that had major
league pitching from brother Paul.
Dizzy pitched for his team.
Biloxi. Now he is endeavoring to find
other dates acceptable to the Blues.
The Nationals’ exhibition series will
open March IS or 16 at Biloxi with
Albany of the International League
to be encountered. A Sunday game
on March 17 wUl be played at the
Gulfport Training Field of the Albany
club.
Cleveland has promised to visit
Biloxi for a contest, the date yet to
be set. and Griffith may arrange a
series between the Nationals and the
New Orleans club.
Griffith says that once the exhibi
tions get under way he expects to
have the Nationals playing almost
daily right down to the American
League bell.
A.. * *
. 4....
Donkey base ball Is that hilarious
game in which all players except
the pitcher and catcher are re
quired to ride stubborn and bucking
burros while playing. It was Dizzy
himself who scored the winning
run when he knocked one of Paul's
offerings into center field. He
finally got to third aboard his
donkey, named Lord Plushbottom,
and then spurred his charge across
home plate after Dusty Rhodes of
the. Red Sox, playing at third,
failed to give Paul the proper co
operation on a play designed to get
Dizzy. But it wasn’t Dusty’s fault.
His steed suddenly developed
fallen arches, tossing the Red Sox
player to the ground.
Dizzy’s ride around the circuit
wasn’t as simple as it seems. In
fact, at one point he took out a
pencil and paper and tried to prove
to his donkey the theory that a
straight line is the shortest dis
tance between two given points.
The donkey, however, couldn’t un
derstand.
Pitcher Henry Johnson of the
Red Sox was the fourth major
leaguer participating In the don- <

! ! TUFFY LEEMAXS.
This George Washington athlete, who won such great recognition in
, foot ball last Fall, wasn't figured to be a regular on the basket ball team,
j but he's proving to be the spark plug of the quint. His work is not so
J smooth on the floor as it is on the turf, but his fight and spirit get results.
Last Wednesday night he provided the needed tonic in the Colonials’ victory
over City College of New York, and on Friday night he broke up the Elon
game when it was deadlocked and the gun about to bark for the finish by
snatching the ball out of scrimmage and firing it to Hal Kiesel for a
I snowbird.

SWEDISH RUNNER
Erik Ny, Olympic Failure,
I Coming Back to Race
Crack U. S. Milers.
: By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 12.—
Erik Ny, Sweedish middle
distance runner whose pre
vious American appearances
have been disappointing, has
1 accepted an invitation to run in sev
eral big track and field meets this
Winter with hopes of redeeming him
self. the Amateur Athletic Union an
nounced tonight.
He has been entered in the Mill
rose A. A. meet and the New York
Athletic Club games, both in Madi
son Square Garden. February 2 and
j 16. respectively, the Boston A. A.
games, February 9, and the National
A. A. U. indoor championships in
New York, February 23.
Ny will make a "fourth” in the
rivalry among Glenn Cunningham.
Bill Bonthron and Gene Venzke at
1,500 meters and a mile.
Makes Big Improvement.
THE little blond Swedish runner
first came to the United States
for the Olympics In 1932 and
finished fifth behind Cunningham in
i the 1.500 meters run. He returned
1 to compete indoors during the 1933
season but failed to show his real
form on the unfamiliar boards.
He has improved greatly since his
1933 visit, according to the records,
and was Europe's outstanding middle
distance star last Summer, defeating
Luigi Beccali, Italy's Olympic cham
pion. among others. Several times
he ran 800 and 1.500 meter races
in close to record time, his marks
being bettered only by Ben Eastman
at the shorter distance and Bon
thron and Cunningham at 1,500
meters. His only defeats in Europe
last Summer were at the hands of
Eastman and Bonthron.

PREDICTED KICKS
■ FAILTODEVELOP
Card Outlook All Pink as
Dizz, Daff, Frisch and
Pepper Get in Line.
BY W. N. PAXTON,
Associated Press Btaff Writer.
ST. LOUIS, January 12.—Canny
Sam Breadon, head man of the
St. Louis Cardinals, has routed
completely the critic* who pre
dicted "holdout trouble" before Spring
practice.
Dizzy and Daffy Dean, the pitching
! brothers, who hurled the Red Birds to
the 1934 world championship, have
1 expressed their united pleasure at
j 1935 salary terms.
Pepper Martin, hero of another
' world series, once a star outfielder,
I but who now performs admirably at
third base, also has affixed his sig
nature to an agreement.
Contracts are in the mail addressed
to other members of the battling
1 team, which came from behind the
New York Giants last Fall to win the
National League pennant, then con
tinued a drive which subdued Detroit,
: American League title holder.
All Predicted Trouble.
NOT a cloud of contract trouble
appears on the Cardinal bas?
ball horizon. Frank Fiisch, the
dynamic second baseman-manager,
who directed the Red Birds to vic
tory, was signed early last Fall.
Every one appeals happy and ready
for the trek next month to the Bra
| denton, Fla., training camp.
Almost in one voice, observers last
Fall predicted trouble when Breadon
i broached the subject of contract with
Jerome Herman "Dizzy" Dean, bass
ball's turbulent "first man."
Shortly after the breaking off of
' negotiations by which Lew Wentz,
millionaire Oklahoma oil man. sought
to purchase the Red Birds, Breadon
departed for Florida on a "vacation."
Dizzy Dean was vacationing there
in his Bradenton home. A few days
; after the Cardinal president ended
his "vacation" and returned to St.
Louis he departed from his usual
secrecy and informed sports writers
that "Dizzy has telephoned me that .
his contract, signed, is in the mail." -
A FEW days ago Paul Dean told the
waiting public he was well satis-'
| fled with the terms offered him.
Dizzy announced he accepted an
: offer of between $22,000 and $26,000.
I The smart guessers believe his con
| tract calls for not more than *20,000.
I Paul is thought to have agreed to ac
cept $10,000.
A new pitcher or two and probably
a different center fielder loom as the
only changes in the line-up of the
world champions.
Pat Malone, obtained in a trade
with the Chicago Cubs, should
strengthen the pitching staff. The
management has announced, however,
that he is considered "trading mate
: rial.”
I Terry Moore, a big. fast rookie from_
! Columbus. Ohio, one of the far-flung**
1 Cardinal farms, is considered the
1 probable successor to Ernie Orsattl in i
center field. Orsatti, who plays fine
ball at times, can't stand the rigors
i of a long campaign and frequently is
out of the game with injuries.
