WHITE SOX AND GIANT ROOKIES PRAISED BY LITTLE NAPOLEON
McGRAW THINKS WILLIE KAMM
ALL HE’S CRACKED UP TO BE
Says Comiskey Has Made a Ten Strike and Figures
Jimmy O’Connell Might Show a Bit More Pep in
Work, But Notes Jmprovement in Fielding.
By JOHN J. McGRAW.
Manager World Champion Giants.
SAN ANTONIO, March 31.—Having seen Willie Kamm play in
three games I am as strongly convinced that he is all that he
t has been cracked up to be by his Pacific coast admirers, as if I
had witnessed his work throughout a season. '
• My old friend Charley Comiskey surely made a ten-strike when
he secured the youngster. The “Old Roman’s*' SIOO,OOO has been
well spent.
I wish I could grab another such prize for the same amount. I
would jump at the chance.
It does not require a baseball ex-,
pert to appreciate Kamm’s ability
M a third-sacker. It is self-evident.
The position was made for him and
be was made for the position.
The instant he made his first play
in a regular game in a White Sox
uniform I realized his worth. This
was when he made a pretty pick-up
of a puzzling, speedy grounder from
Bancroft’s bat and whipped the ball
to the first baseman with a snap
that carried it with perfect accuracy
to the mark. It was the ease and
grace with which he performed that
appealed most to me. In his action
Kamm reminded me of Jerry Denny,
Who was a great third baseman
When I first broke into the big
league.
WORK WAS BRILLIANT.
After that Initial performance by
Kamm, I saw him accept ten more
chances during the game, and he
threw out sparks in every difficult
play, and he had several. His work
Was especially brilliant when start
ing a double play.
The ball was out of his hand with
almost the same motion with which
be dug it up and into Eddie Collins’
grasp startlingly quick. There was
not a waste motion. There was
perfect co-ordination of mind and
body. When a player is gifted with
that trait It results In an individ
uality of team work that, although
it sounds paradoxical still illustrates
perfectly to the point I am endeavor
ing to explain.
With a player like Collins, who
te always on his base when needed,
he and Kamm are bound to work
together as a unit and tear off
Spectacular plays. I feel sure that
Kmnm will be invaluable to the
White Sox team. He will make it.
As a batter, I will require more
time before I give an opinion of
his ability with the old wagon
tongue. He has made many safe
hits. As many if not more than

his fellow White Sox In his first
[ three games. If he has any weak
ness on any particular ball, pos
sibly it might not be discovered In
: such a short time. As a fielder
i however, the young Californian,
who is only twenty-three years of
age, Is really superb.
HE IS INTERESTED.
As I paid $75,000 or thereabouts
for Jim O’Connell’s services, natur
ally I am Interested! in drawing
comparisons between the pair of
Pacific Coast lads. Now, while,
Jim has not sparkled quite as bril
liantly in fieldins or batting as
Kamm up to the present time, still
' I will say that I think I have
1 a prize package in the big, good
natured, easy going and most like
able young fellow.
I would like to see him show
more pep for one thing. There
may be the circumstances of his
leaving a young wife in San Fran
cisco (he was married only last fall)
has caused him to become a bit
homesick, and what youngster
wouldn’t while playing under simi
lar conditions.
I can see much improvement in
O’Connell’s fielding. So much so
that I have placed him back in the
sunfield dt center, the position that
he first played with me. That en
courages me to believe that he will
be worth fully and more tq ihy
club and team than I paid for him.
He is a natural hitter. He has con
vinced me of that. I am per
fectly satisfied with the transaction
that resulted in Jim O’Connell-be
coming a Giant.
That settlement I think ought
to be sufficient to choke off the
croakers who have been predicting
that Jim will not make the Giant
grade. what’s more, I am
sure he will.
How could Jim O’Connell go back
without having even got set as a
Giant?

ST. STEPHEN’S
TEAM STARRED
IN OTHER DAYS
Team of 1923 Taking Field
Today Recalls Stars Who
Played With Earlier Nines.
By WALTER HAIGHT.
r>9T. STEPHEN’S! Base-
Wk ball! Memories!
The name St. Stephen’s win
be associated with baseball this sea
son for the first time since 1910.
The last appearance of a team
by that name was when the St.
Stephen’s nine beat out the George
town Olives for the title of the
Olympic League, that held sway
in the well-known Georgetown hol
low, immortal to the hearts of the
sandlotters across the creek.
Most of the players of the 1910
St. Stephen’s team are members
of the present club, and a number
of them will try out for the nine
this year. Some of the stars per
forming for the Georgetown Olives
at that time were “Ted" Sullivan,
"Jack” O’Brien, "Hazel” Kidwell,
“Yellow” Meyers and “Untz”
Brewer.
Let’s travel back a little further
on the trail of years.
Who remembers the old Capital
City League with its diamond at
North Capitol and L streets? Who
remembers when “Shorty” Hughes
was digging them out of the dirt
around shortstop and slapping the
old pill on the nose, instead of
heading the umpire’s organization
and calling balls and strikes for the
sandlotters?
Perhaps some will recall the
arguments and games , played after
sundown in the back room of a
certain pre-Volstead parlor in the
vicinity of North Capitol and H
streets.
The St. Stephen’s team won the
championship of the league in 1904,
1905, and 1906. The present team
of that name will surely have to
step out in its first season if it
means to match the pace set by
the “oldtimers.”
Take a peek at this line-up:
“Shorty" Hughes, captain and
second base, "Sil” Carrol, first
base, “Paddy” Welch, third base,
“Dutch” Heinrich, shortstop;
“Socks” Carr and "Tom” Fitz
gerald, right field, “Bill” Rapp,
“Jiggy” Graves, and “Jack” Mc-
Quade, catchers; “Joe” Moriarty,
center field; “Billie” Handlboe and
“Mat” Donohue, left field, and “Al”
Kidwell and "Jimmy” Kerr,
pitchers.
PLAYED WITH UTICA.
“Shorty” Hughes played after
ward with Utica in the New York
State League and Raleigh in the
North Carolina circuit.
“Bill” Rapp, well-known former
Washington backstop and minor
league player, has been coaching
the Knickerbocker nine for the past
two years with great success. It
is reported that he may be missing
from the Georgetown clubmen’s out
fit this season as the Cleveland
team wants him to do their bush
combing.
After leaving the St. Stephen’s
nine “Jimmy’’ Kerr entered George
town University, where he was the
pitching mainstay of the Blue and
Gray baseball team for three years.
The other players of the Capital
City loop, leaders of 1904, 1905 and
1906, are still around town and in
the words of “Shorty” Hughes can
be seen any afternoon from April
to October at a ball game, en
couraging the youngsters.
HAVE CLUBHOUSE.
The present St. Stephen’s Club
has its headquarters at 2422 K
street, “foggy bottom,” just a
couple of blocks from the 1906 club
house that was located in the 2100
block of Pennsylvania avenue, also
“foggy bottom.”
Up at the new clubhouse the boys
have two cups and a large banner.
These trophies tell of the feats of
their predecessors. The 1922 St.
Stephen’s nine means to add to the
collection. *
They will take their second work
out on the Naval Hospital dia
mond this morning. “Shorty” Me-
Malloy, well known “oldtimes” of
the District sandlots, who is coach
ing the team, put the squad num
bering over thirty through a stiff
practice session last Sunday and re
ported himself pleased with the
showing made.
Prominent among the candidates
are “Mat” Noone, manager and
star backstop of the Westover A.
C. last season; L. Hower, former
Southern railway receiver; O. Cal
lahaxie who played third for St.
Annie Oakley’s Dog
“Dave” Dies in
Accident
When a dog gets in the
path of a fast moving auto
mobile, the . canine comes to
an untimely finish, and not
more than once in a million
times will you find anything
about the death of the dog in
the daily press. The one time
occurred recently at Lees
burg, Fla.,'when “Dave,” the
setter trained and owned by
Annie Oakley, one of the
greatest shots the world has
ever known, was struck by an
automobile. “Dave” during
the war became famous as
the Red Cross dog. His stunts
brought in many thousands
of dollars for the Red Cross.
The things he did caused
headlines in the leading news
papers, and when “Dave’
was bumped by an automo
bile these things were all re
membered by writers. And
just to show what is thought
of “Dave” a monument has
been erected over his grave
in Leesburg. Miss Oakley
was once handed a blank
check and told to insert her
own figures for “Dave.” She
tore up the check. There
wasn’t enough money in the
world to purchase the dog,
she said.
Annie Oakley, who is Mrs.
Frank E. Butler in private
life, arrived in Baltimore last
Sunday to consult Dr. Wil
liam S. Baer, of Johns Hop
kins University.
John’s College In 1922; “Doc” Far
rell, clever first sacker of the Vet
eran’s Bureau outfit of the Federal
League last year; Carl Krlst, seml
pro performer from Altoona, Pa.;
"Tom” McDonough, who was on
the mound for Bureau; “Jlmus” Mc-
Murray, Westover outfielder last
season; "Billy” Burke, who hurled
for Postoffice in the last campaign,
and “Jock” Minter, semi-pro pitch
er, who halls from Lexington, Ky.
When these lads, and the others,
take the field for the first
game of the 1923 Stephen’s
Club baseball season it’s “dollars to
doughnuts” that some of the Capi
tal City League champs will be
there to look them over and perhaps
compare them with the teams of
1904, 1905, and 1906.
SUMMA OUT OF GAME.

CRANDALLLOOP
WILL OPERATE
ON SANDLOTS
Four Teams Representing
Theaters to Go Through
Baseball Schedules.
SANDLOT baseball will receive a
decided impetus this week with
the beginning of play in the
newly organized Crandall League,
composed of four teams representing
Crandall’s residential theaters —the
Savoy, Avenue Grand, Apollo and
York. The teams have been re*
cruited not from among the em
ployes of the theaters but from
among the boys living in the
neighborhood of each house, so that
the membership of each is represen
tative of a community and not
merely a single commercial enter*
prise. The manager of each of the
theaters will act also as manager
of the team representing that
house.
All equipment. Including com*
plete uniforms, balls, bats, gloves,
masks and other necessary para*
phernalla has been purchased for
the teams by Harry M. Crandall,
owner of the Crandall theaters, who
has also hung up a handsome prize
to be awarded the . winner of the
series.
WILL PLAY WEDNESDAY.
The first game of the series will
be played on the Union Station
Plaza diamond, Wednesday, April 4,
at 1 p. m., between the Avenue
Grand and the Apollo teams. Fol*
lowing the long established custom
of making the Inauguration of any
league season a considerable event,
Harry M. Crandall will. throw out
the first ball and the Boy Scouts
Band will be on hand to furnish
music at the half-inning Intervals.
. The next play will be on the
same diamond at the same hour on
Friday, Abril 6, with the Savoy
team versus the York. The sched
ule will be played out with two
games a week for each team.

SPECIAL AT
BOWIE MONDAY
SPARK PLUG
VS.
SASSY SUSIE
An extra special event. Spark Plug
will positively appear in person.
It has been discovered that the now famous
classic between Spark Splug and Sassy Susie, in
which Sassy Susie was left flat at the post, was
not according to Hoyle. Someone attached piano
wires to Sassy Susie’s legs and pulled her down.
All bets on that race are declared off, and it has
been ordered re-run at Bowie Monday.
This Special Meet Comes Off Between
the Second and Third Races
Bowie opens with an excellent card Monday,
but we think the special between Spark Plug and
Sassy Susie will prove the feature of the day.
SPARK PLUG AND SASSY SUSIE ARE
POSITIVELY GUARANTEED TO
APPEAR IN PERSON
NOTE: Barney Google will ride Spark Plug.
This race is held under the auspices of The Washington
Harald for the James F. O’Hara Cup.

Kanawha Midgets Get
Busy For Coining Year
In a meeting held recently the
Kanawha Midgets selected the fol
lowing officers: Phil Sykes, star
pitcher of last year's team, was
again elected captain. Smiling Sam
Dafsky, manager of the Kanawha
Midgets, successful basketball team,
was elected manager of this year’s
baseball team. "Fats” Solet was
elected president of the club, and
Sam Lafsky, secretary-treasurer.
Since putting out their first base
ball call, the Kanawha Midgets have
been strengthened by the addition
of several stars. Os these candi
dates, the best known are AlKritt,
star first baseman Os the Portland
A. C., from Hartford, Conn.; George j
Mason, catcher of the champion
Baltimore Orioles, and Charles New
man. older brother of Little H.
Newman, star of last season's bas
ketball team, who pitched for some
well-known teams last year. Besides
Charles Newman, H. Newman and
P. Sykes are available.
Last year the Kanawha lads were
beaten out of the championship by
the fast Linworth midgets. After a
strenuous battle, which went for
thirteen innings, they lost by the
score of 4 to 8. This year they
seek revenge, and are ready to
book games with all teams in the
fourteen to flfteen-year old class, on
Sundays or holidays. For games
