Nats Bob Up as Big Surprise of Grapefruit League With 6 Wins in 7 Starts
Win, Lose or Draw
By FRANCIS E. STAN.
Star Staff Correspondent.
'In the Face of a General Policy'
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 16.—Now that Joe Di Maggio
Is signed to a Yankee contract the holdout situation in the major
leagues has been cleared up, except in a few minor instances. A
salary of $42,000 isn’t bad. Only Babe Ruth earned more money
lor a season of play with the New York club.
But the Di Maggio contract is misleading. Offhand, It would seem
as If baseball club owners are proceeding on a business-as-usual basis,
handsomely rewarding their outstanding stars with salaries to arouse the
envy of underpaid scientists, college presidents, cops and clerks. This Is
not the case.
The Detroit Tigers, backed by the immense wealth of Manufacturer
Walter O. Briggs, have slashed salaries. While the Yankees have prom
ised Di Maggio the reported sum of $42,000, they are cutting down
overhead. Shortly before Pitcher Dutch Leonard came to terms, President
Clark Griffith of the Nats Issued a public statement, something highly
Irregular for the old gentleman, in which he stated: “I have offered
Leonard more money than he received last year in face of a general
policy in baseball to cut substantially all high-salaried players * •
Night Ball Could Be Wiped Out
Heretofore this “general policy in baseball to cut substantially all
high-salaried players” had been something that was sensed rather than
disclosed. The holdouts and many of the fans couldn’t understand why
the club owners were behaving so niggardly. Didn't Di Maggio, for
instance, break all records by hitting safely in 56 consecutive games?
Didn’t Leonard win 18 games for a team that finished In a sixth-place tie?
The holdout players and many fans indignantly wanted to know If
baseball owners were going to cut their prices. They wanted to know
why the major leagues had planned the unprecedented total of 153 night
games if they did not have a financial killing in their minds.
The club owners were In a spot. The man-on-the-street has little
sympathy for a club owner. He worships his favorite players and he
sees pompous tycoons mince Into high-powered automobiles and be
whisked away. But In all fairness, the club owners had a common and
logical argument.
* It is true that a letter signed by President Roosevelt suggested that
baseball carry on. It even recommended an increase in night games.
But this is something that could be wiped out by a bombing attack,
or the threat of a bombing attack. A military area commander con- ;
ceivably could recommend that night baseball be abolished because the
lights used up power and because a brilliantly Illuminated ball park
provided a fine aerial target. Off the record, a man close to a big-league
club owner said the other afternoon: “I wouldn’t be surprised if we
played less than a dozen night games. Or none at all.”
A Ball Club Always Is a Gamble
Naturally, the loss of night baseball would be a staggering blow to
the club owners, who have committed themselves in some few instances—
such as In the case of DI Maggio—to large outputs of money. With
millions of workers engaged in defense work, the daytime games figure
to drew few cash customers. Army, Navy and Marine men have been
promised free rides. Many of these men of the armed forces had been
bona fide baseball customers.
Owning a ball club always has been a gamble. Now it is more of
a gamble than ever. Griffith, for example, offered Leonard the sum of
$15,000. According to the Old Fox, Leonard wanted a bonus based on
the Nats drawing 325,000 cash customers. “If I fell for that,” complained
Griffith, “I’d go broke in no time. I can’t live on le6S than 400,000 cus
tomers a year. My bonus offer was based on 450,000." It is presumed
that he got his way.
When Col. Jake Ruppert died he left the Yankees to three women.
They want their do-re-mi, not a collection of men who stand supreme
in their business. Ed Barrow, the crusty old fellow who runs the
Yankees, finally promised Di Maggio a hugs sum, but he cut down
expenses along other lines. He had chances to trade for several good
players, Gee Walker and JefT Heath among them, but he hasn’t dealt
because Walker, Heath and others in this category are used to middle
sized salaries. Baseball today can only afford a few high-priced men,
and when the Yankees pay Di Maggio $42,000 they have little room
for more players in the $10 000-118,000 class.
Cathey Is Nats' Favored Rookie
After His Hurling Halts Tigers
'Little Abner/ Game in Pinches, Breezes
Through Term; Rally in Second Tells
By BURTON HAWKINS,
Star Stair Correspondent.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., March
16.—To his teammates Pitcher Har
din Cathey is “Little Abner” and
the description fits the body and
personality. He “a hill-billy” from
the metropolis of Bums, Tenn., who
regards a necktie as an unnecessary
frill but he also currently is the fair
haired boy among the Nats’ rookie
hurlers.
Cathey is a 6-foot 4-inch, 185
pound righthander two years off a
farm and he hasn't altered the gait
he cultivated walking behind a plow.
Only 21, he already has supplanted
Ray Scarborough as Washington’s
most promising rookie pitcher,
Scarborough appears more poUshed
but Cathey is getting better results.
The good-looking, black-haired
Cathey owns a jerky pitching moi
tion that ordinarily would relegate
him to minor consideration as major
league timber. The, motion has
fascinated Manager Bucky Harris,
who has seen, its deception annoy
numerous hitters in baseball’s citrus
circuit.
Cathey doesn’t figure to make the
grade off his record with Charlotte
of the Piedmont League last sea
son, He won 13 games and dropped
as many, which hardly Is a recom
mendation, but down here he seems
to have found himself and he virtu
ally is a certainty to be retained.
On the urging of Joe Engle the
Nats paid $5,000 for Cathey despite
the fact his only record at the time
was with the class D Thomasville
(Ga.) club of the Georgia-Florlda
League. He had won 19 and lost 8
for that team before being gradu
ated to Charlotte’s Class B outfit.
Fans Four Tigers.
He thrived as one of the Nats’ j
lesser lights, as indicated by the
fact he still is living at the board
ing house where Prexy Clark Grif
fith sends his raw recruits, but when
Washington breaks camp Cathey
probably will become accustomed to
more sumptuous surroundings.
Cathey Is an amusing character, i
On the Nats’ bus hop around Flor- i
ida, “Little Abner” has been a stage
show In himself. He has an endless
supply of hill-billy tunes to prevent
napping but, more important, he
has demonstrated to Harris that his
fast ball gathers no cobwebs.
Twice Cathey has pitched and
Bucky’s enthusiasm has mounted
with each effort. Against the
Yankees when the Nats absorbed
their only defeat Cathey merely
was so-so, permitting a run. issuing
two walks and allowing two hits
in two innings. But yesterday as
Washington beat the Detroit Tigers,
6-2, at Orlando an improved Cathey
was performing. It might be men
tioned, incidentally, that Cathey
pitched against the Yankees despite
being nauseated.
Cathey labored three innings
against the Tigers and what he
showed Harris was plenty of heart
and a nice assortment of pitching.
He was in trouble at the outset,
when two men were on base with
none out through the medium Of a
walk and a single, but Cathey es
caped damage by tossing out Doc
Cramer and Barney McCosky and

Dawson to Plug
Gaping Breach
For Gophers
Up to Backfield Coach
To Uphold Smashing
Bierman Attack
By JAY VESSELS,
Auoctftted Ptpm 8Dort» Writer.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 16.—The
smashing Bierman system, war or
peace, continues at Minnesota. And
Lowell “Red’' Dawson who absorbed
the powerhouse style to become a
great quarterback and then a big
league head coach, soon will begin
picking up at Minnesota where Ber
nie Bierman left ofl two months ago
when he was called to active duty as
marine major.
Dawson’s resignation has Tulane’s
football coach w5s announced by Dr.
Rufus C. Harris, Tulane president,
late Saturday a short time after the
University of Minnesota Board of
Regents had hired Dawson as back
fleld mentor and chief assistant to
Dr. George Hauser, line coach,
moved along to Bierman's spot for
the duration.
Offense Up to Dawson.
Thus it will be squarely up to
"Red” Dawson, a quarterbacking
hero when Bemie Bierman coached
Tulane to the Rose Bowl spot in
1931, to produce the offensive stuff
for Minnesota’s 1924 championship
challenge and a continuation of a
hot winning streak now at 17 games.
Dawson has known about other
famous winning campaigns at Min
nesota. When Bierman left Tulane
in 1932, Dawson came along to Min
nesota as backfield coach. When
"Red” returned to Tulane as head
coach in 1936, he had helped guide
the Golden Gophers along to a vic
torious splurge that ran to 21 games
before it was broken the fall after
Dawson departed.
Hiring of Dawson helped partly
to plug one of those everything.

backfield coach.
War Service Lures Others.
Lastly, Dallas Ward, assistant
coach, is trying for a Naval physical
education post and Bert Baston, end
coach, is considering resumption of
his First World War role as marine
captain.
In trying to plug up the leaks, the
regents hired another Minnesota fa
vorite. He is Charles (Bud) Wilkin
son. Wilkinson, assistant coach at
Syracuse, becomes Minnesota fresh
man mentor. He was a star for
Bierman back in the days of the
first major winning streak. One day
Bemie needed a quarterback, so he
picked Wilkinson, big, shifty guard.
Bud's most spectacular piece of
skullwork was in the 1936 game with
Nebraska. The Cornhuskers had
one minute to play to get a scoreless
tie and a tremendous upset. They
punted. Wilkinson grabbed the ball
near his own goal line. Smothered,

been timid about getting lilt

me any good to have that fear

The Nats imported a six-game

Tulane Aide Expected
To Succeed Dawson
As Top Grid Coach
By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, March 16.—Tu
lane University authorities were
tight lipped today, but the guessers
openly predicted that one of Lowell
“Red” Dawson’s assistants would
succeed him as head man of the
Green Wave’s football team.
Heading the speculators’ list for
the Tulane post was Claude “Little
Monk” Simons, Jr., backfleld mentor.
Next came Charley Rucker, the line
boss. Both are on the all-alumni
staff and both were stars when they
played for the Wave.
Usually well-informed observers
pointed out that a big name coach
probably would not be considered
due to the uncertainty of sports dur
ing the war. Then, too, they said,
the Tulane Job reportedly brought
only $8,000 to Dawson, hardly
enough to be attractive.

In 2 Tussles; Spurt
Puts Cards Third
By AUSTIN BEALMEAR,
Anocitted Prut* Sport* Writer.
NEW YORK, March 16.—Don’t
look now, but those boys cutting
such fancy capers In baseball's
grapefruit league are your old
friends, the Washington Nationals.
Although they aren’t on top of the
standings, the American Leaguers
who campaigned so vigorously for
more night games are bouncing
along at an .857 clip with six vic
tories in seven starts—all against
major league opposition and In
broad daylight.
First place in the grapefruit
standings at the start of the third
week belongs to the Chicago Cubs,
who have only two games behind
them, but won them both with top
heavy scores and authority at ths
plate.
The 8t. Louis Cardinals, who
dropped three of their first four
games, have won their last six in a
row and hold third place among the
16 teams of both leagues.
The only others who have won
more than they have lost are the
New York Yankees and Brooklyn
Dodgers, last year’s World 8erles’
opponents, tied with five wins in
nine starts, and the Philadelphia
Athletics, with six victories and five
defeats.
Cubs Crush Their Foes.
The Cubs, who have yet to test
their own National League foes,
crushed the Athletics, 11-3, yester
day after swamping the Chicago
White Sox, 13-3, with a 16-hit bar
rage In their opener.
While it won’t help much In the
pennant drive, five of the Nationals’
six were against teams In their own
circuit. Since losing two out of three
to the Yanks in their first series, the
Cards have divided a pair with
Cleveland and beaten Cincinnati
twice, Detroit once and the Yankees
twice, the last time yesterday. 5-3.
In addition to their two out of
three over the Cards and their split
with Washington, the Yanks boafted
single victories over the Boston Red
Sox and Cincinnati Reds for a total
! of five out of seven until they
bumped Into the Cards in the two
games the past week end.
Brooklyn has confined its activity
to the New York Olants and the
Cuban All-Stars.
Philadelphia’s Athletics won flva
and lost four against Pacific Coast
League teams and downed the Pltts
