Sam Rice Marvel of Modem Base Ball: Base Ball Offers Big Future for Youths HOLDS FAST SHE DESPITE 1 YEARS; ( Veteran Outfielder Long \ Mainstay of Nationals. 1 A’s Here Today. BY JOHN B. KELLER. WHEN picking the wonders of modern base ball, write around the top of your list the name of one Edgar Charles Rice, outfielder, with the Washington club. There’s . a ball player for you. In his sis- , teenth season as a big leaguer— < always with the Nationals—Edgar i Charles, or if you don’t know him i by that name, Sam, not only has j since the start of his major ca- reer been a mainstay of the Wash- ington club, but also one of the prominent figures of the game. These days when managers wildly grab at anything that looks as though It may field some and bang the ball more, Rice stands out a marvel. Young- sters come and youngsters go. but Sam still carries on at a pace that keeps him among the elite of the ball park pastures. Old Man o’ War he was dub- bed years ago and the name still fits. In comparison with many who have been seen in action in the American League outfields in recent years Rice Is a stake horse among selling platers. Rice is starting his fifteenth season, but it is his sixteenth with the Nation- als. He served a greater cause in 1918, going with Uncle Sam’s artillery instead of rifling pitchers offerings. That prob- ably made the hurlers of that year happy, for Sam certainly punished op- posing moundsmen before that time. Nor did his Army service take anything from his batting eye, for he has wal- loped them since, and this year has opened fire on the pitchers in away that indicates another fine season is in store for him. Hits in Every Game. Rice has not missed getting one hit or more in any of the seven games the Nationals have played up to today. He has socked the ball for a cool average of .355, socking left-handers as well as right-handers. No matter what side they pitch from, the pitchers do not seem to puzzle this southpaw swinger to any great extent. And Sam has been shifty in right field, too. He has han- dled 23 chances, an average of more than three per game. That’s busy field- ing in right. What a record has this player, who was 38 years old last February 20. His grand major league batting average is .322. Only in three years has he batted below .300 and his lowest stick average with the Nationals reads .295. That’s what he hit in 1922. With major clubs now paying from $5,000 to $20,000 for an ordinary out- field prospect today, just Imagine what a youngster as promising as was Rice when he took to outflelding in 1916 would fetch. Yes, it would be well up in five figures. And Sam was bought from the Petersburg club of the old Virginia League for SBOO. FOR some time last season second . base on the Washington club was something to worry Manager Walter Johnson. Not so now. Buddy Myer, shifted from third to second during the 1929 campaign, was no shining light there for some while, but he has devel- oped into a right good keystone sacker this year. Buddy drilled earnestly at the position during the training period. He realized his shortcomings as a mid- dle-station guardian and set about to Improve himself. For a time he was handicapped by a sore arm, but even that did not keep him out of play more than a few days. And, having doggedly toiled for weeks, Myer reveals consid- erable class at his position. He has made some remarkable stops in the championship games, thrown well and played heads-up base ball. Buddy seems about to swing into a good batting stride, too. When he does, he’ll be a mighty valuable player to his club. BEFORE long, Earl Webb, big left- hand swinger, recently procured from the Cincinnati Reds, may be seen at the plate as a pinch-hitter. When Webb Joined the club in Boston last week, he had not looked over much good pitching in batting drills and for that reason Manager Johnson hesitated to send him to the plate in emergencies. Webb Is a free swinger and free swingers are rather easy to fool when they have not had much stick drill. Now, however, thA new National has had considerable practice at bat and Johnson declares he will not hesitate to use him in a pinch. SAMMY WEST has not hit often for the Nationals to date, but what little hitting he has done has been sound hitting. All told, West has clouted safely only five times, yet the five safeties netted 11 bases. Among Sammy’s drives were a homer, a triple and a double. DURING the three-game series with the Athletics that was to open in Griffith Stadium this afternoon, Benny Tate may get a chance to show his wares behind the bat for the first time In the championship season. Tate, in good trim, caught well during the train- ing period, but has been held back be- cause Ruel’s batting eye was clearer at the outset of the flag race. YTTITH the A’s likely to show the W Nationals much left-handed pitch- ing during their stay, George Loepp probably will have plenty of center- fielding to do for the Johnson band Loepp covers plenty of territory in the pastures and he swings a pretty effec- tive bat from the right side. TOO cold again yesterday for Na- tionals and Red Sox to play, so there’ll be some double-heading at the ball yard May 21 and 22, when the Hub team is here again. It wasn’t too cold for morning practice, though. Manager Johnson had his charges out for a two-hour batting drill that gave every one a fine workout. HOME RUN STANDING B y the Associated Press.

WEATHER STORING UP DOUBLE BILLS Only Two Games Staged in Majors Yesterday—Cold Keeps Fans Away. By the Associated Press. THE present chills and dampness of Spring appear to be storing up trouble for major league base ball teams almost as fast as they are piling up double-headers. Only one club so far has played all its games, the Chicago Cubs gaining this honor, while the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers have escaped serious consequences with but one postpone- ment apiece. More cold weather yesterday caused the postponement of all but two major league games and neither of these proved very profitable to the club own- ers. Only about 1,000 St. Louis fans turned out to see the Browns beat De- troit, 12 to 4, while about three times that number appeared at the Cubs' park in Chicago to see the St. Louis Cardinals down the National League champions, 9 to 2. For the rest, the cold was piling up more grief. The Boston Braves, for example, seem headed for something like the slaughter of September, 1928, when they played four successive dou- ble-headers against the New York Giants and lost all eight games. The Braves now have five twin bills to play against New York and each one makes the prospects look better for the Giants, who have less need to conserve their strength. . , ... The New York Yankees are in similar difficulties. Out of six games scheduled against Philadelphia, they succeeded in playing only the opener in each city. And the Yankees have a rather small staff of starting pitchers, ill fitted to en- dure the rigors of a succession of twin bills, while the champion Athletics seem ready to go as far as they like with overtime play. The Chicago White Sox also seem headed for trouble with six double headers scheduled against the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Brown, both of whom have more pitching strength to hurl into the battle. Although St. Louis gained all the glory in the two games that did sur- vive yesterday, the teams owe it to a select few players. George Fisher, slug- ging young outfielder, played the leading role as the Cardinals downed the Cubs, scoring one run and driving in four with a single, two doubles and a sacri- fice in four trips to the plate. Chick Hafey followed the example Fisher set in the previous inning when he tripled with the bases loaded to bring in three of the five runs St. Louis scored in that inning. Sylvester Johnson hurled the entire game for the Cards. Fred Schulte and Chad Kimsey di- vided the honors in the Browns’ tri- umph over Detroit. Schulte did most of the heavy hitting, while Kimsey stepped in as a relief pitcher when Herman Holshauser began to wabble and shut out the Tigers without a hit for 1 four innings. Harrison, Virginia White Sox Manager, Proves He’s Live Wire ONE of the livest managers of sandlot base ball teams In this section Is George Harrison, who Is at the helm for the Vir- ginia White Sox.

NEW YORK, April 25.—Joe Jacobs, wearing a German haircut, secured on his recent European trip, said today that he was more than delighted with the training quarters at Endicott, N. Y., which he has selected for Max Schmeling. Endicott is nine miles from Bing- hamton, where Jack Sharkey was bom and spent his early years under the name of John Cuccoskey, so Max should hear more or less of the history of his coming opponent. Jacobs says that Endicott Is Just the prettiest place he ever saw. Coming from such a widely traveled man as Joe, that is high praise. Schmeling sailed for New York yes- terday. On his arrival he will be photo- graphed and interviewed, then visit Madison Square Garden and afterward journey to his training camp. He will have from May 5 until June 12 to get into condition.

DOUBLES PARTNERS MEET IN NET FINAL By the Associated Press. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va., April 25.—Those dashing doubles partners of Davis Cup fame Wtimer Allison of Austin, Tex., and John Van Ryn of Orange, N. J.—were in today’s final round of singles in the Mason and Dixon tennis tournament through upset victories over the second and third ranking players of the country. Allison snatched his semi-final round match with George Lott, No. 3 in the ranking, out of the fire with a sensa- tional rally yesterday to win by scores of 4—6, 6—B, 6—3, 6—3, 6—4. Even more astonishing was the victory ot Van Ryn over Frank Hunter of New Rochelle, N. Y., ranked second only to Big Bill Tilden, by a count of 6—2, 4—6, 6—2, 2—6, 6—4. In the finals of the women's singles, Marjorie Morrill of Dedham, Mass., was matched against Virginia Hilleary of Philadelphia. Miss Morrill easily elimi- nated Virginia Rice of Boston, 8—6,6—1, while Miss Hilleary was scoring an up- set triumph over Mrs. Marion Zinder- stein Jessup of Wilmington, Del., 4—6, 6 —2, 6 —4.

FANS TRAVELING FAR 1 FOR TITLE MAT BOUT BY ARTHUR BELL. JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, April 25.—Such tremendous Interest Is being taken In the scheduled meeting of Walter Miller of St. Paul, Minn., and Ben Sherman of Canada in the city hall here for the world middleweight wrestling title that sportsmen are travel- ing from as far away as Angolan (Portuguese West Africa), Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia, as well as Cape Town, to see the bout. This wide attraction is explained by the fact that the encounter will be the first world’s championship wrestling match to be held in South Africa. That neither contestant is a South African seems hardly to affect the enthusiasm. Miller, who won the title in Austrialia from Harry Irslinger of England, is a narrow favorite in the contest, with odds of 5 to 4 in his favor. (Copyright, 1930, by the C. D. N. Foreign Service.) Bowlers Shoot at Easy Marks j In City Tournament Tonight BY R. D. THOMAS. THIRTY teams and many doubles and singles will molest the maples tonight In the city championship at Convention Hall and all have reason to be confident of topping the current high scores. Three nights of competition has failed to produce a single score difficult to beat. This is no reflection on the Conven- tion Hall drivers, either. They have been kept In prime shape. Chester Lllley Is on top In Class A singles with a set of 363 which isn’t likely to get him a nickle. Chester’s best count was 135. Plant Bureau shot a set of 1,643 to take the lead in Class C teams, Lind- strom’s total of 351 being a big help. Dr. Webb’s Whizbangs and Dr. Rice’s Ripsnorters, otherwise known as Rodier’s Thursday Nighters, neither whizzed nor snorted to any profitable effect. They | did most of their bowling verbally at a feast spread by Rodier. The Whiz- bangs shot 1,392 in Class E and the Ripsnorters got 1,461 in Class D. Buck Harley, once the king of south- paw duckpinners, got off to a fair start in class A singles with a game of 117, but from there on It was a struggle. He totaled 303, a score that Buck could have rolled in the old days right-handed and possibly blind-folded. Two other veterans who disappointed were Nick Chaconas and Harry Armlger. Nick was a pin over 300 and Harry shot 309. The Patent Attorneys, who rolled : 1,637 in class A, would have been in . class B had their averages summed up one pin less. Virtually the sama line-up 1 represents King’s Palace and uhder this name rolled a league game this season that Mort King has passed along to 1 the cartoonists who specialize In freaks. Each member had a score of 111 and ’ the game of 555 exactly equaled the i team’s average. | F. H. Petila of Mount Rainier totaled 1 I, to lead in class C all-events. Bronson Quaites will trot out her Beeques for a feature performance in the girls’ tournament at the Arcadia. The Beeques were nosed out on total pins by the Columbians for the pennant in the Washington Ladies’ League, which they had won the three preced- ing seasons. Margaret MUtner is in a fairway to take the class A all-events cham- pionship. She has 662 for six games, with 350 in the doubles and 312 in the singles. Mrs. Payne rolled 308 for second high score in the class B singles. Phil Heffelflnger, the newspaper champion, will shoot singles tonight. Heffelflnger is the only bowler to win the news title twice. His two triumphs in succession constituted an under- rated feat. Phil rolled through many rounds in elimination play without en- countering a poor set. Ben McAlwee’s District League Cubs have a lock on their series with the Recreation Juniors of Baltimore, it ap- pears. The Cubs shot 2,838 against 2,728 to gain a margin of 110 sticks in the opening set at the Lucky Strike. Jack Wolstenholme shot 613 for high score. The figures: BALTIMORE. Weinberger ..... 94 100 ...

NEIL. Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, April 25.—How- ard Ehmke, the lanky blond veteran with the slow smile and the slower curve that confounded experts and Chicago Cubs alike in the last world series, has a reassuring message for base ball-minded youth. Not only are better young ball players coming Into the big leagues all the time, but the caliber of the youths has Improved steadily since Howard first wandered out to a big league pitching mound in Detroit 14 years ago. Fur- thermore, opportunity and financial re- wards for youngsters never were greater than today. “They say good young pitchers aren’t coming up to the big leagues any more,” he snorted as he warmed up in a hotel lobby, for the chill outside prevented any hope of a ball game. “That’s false. Look at Liebhardt, Mahon and Mahaf- fey, all newcomers to the Athletics this Spring. All fine young pitchers. “All a kid coming in needs is natural ability and ambition today. He’ll find all the veterans eager to teach him. He’ll find clean, wholesome athletes to live and team with. The slack, un- kempt element has gone from base ball. Have Things to Learn. “Young pitchers usually arrive with a lot of speed and stuff and things to learn. Usually they learn rhythm, poise and to field their position. Experience comes with these and then you have a real pitcher.” The big blond tfith the aching arm, permanent reminder of an old injury, climbed to his feet and scratched an imaginary pitching rubber on the rug. He took his stance and, except for his clothes, looked exactly as he did when he stepped out of obscurity last Fall to baffle the Cubs, win the first game of the world series for the A’s and pile up 13 strikeouts. “Most new pitchers place the forward part of the right foot on the rubber so that the foot points directly at the bat- ter. During the wind up they must turn the foot so that it points to third base. That throws the body out of line, the rhythm is lost and the ball doesn’t go exactly where you want it. The cure is to point your foot to third base before you start to wind up.” Then Ehmke bent over as though he had a golf club in his hands. He still looked like Ehmke, the pitcher. “It’s the same principle in golf,” he explained. “I play a fair game, but when I sway backward—like this—as I swing I lose my rhythm and I slice. I’ve moved the wrong part of the body. It affects my control of the golf ball just as twisting the foot affects the pitch. Sam Jones a Stylist. “Youngsters should pick out four good pitchers and study their styles instead of trying to copy something from every thrower they see. I advise the new pitchers to study Herb Pennock of the Yanks, Ted Lyons of the White Sox, George Uhle of the Tigers and Sam Jones of Washington. I believe they have the best styles. “Nonchalant, easy-going kids make the best pitchers because they are cool under fire. They must have experi- ence—sitting on the bench does no good. And finally, they must field the position. If a poor fielding pitcher misses 15 out of 30 balls hit to him, half will drive in runs and maybe four will win ball games. Those four games can turn an ordinary pitcher, winning 15 and losing 15, into a great pitcher, win- ning 19 and losing 11.” Ehmke likes the youngsters. He Is coaching Connie Mack’s rookies this Spring. By the middle of May, when the sun comes out, he hopes to be in there winning ball games. He wants to be ready for the opening game of the next world series. GERMANS LEAD BRITONS IN TENNIS CUP SERIES LONDON, April 35 (A 3 ). —Germany’s Davis Cup team, showing surprising strength, took a lead over Great Brit- ain in their first-round encounter yes- terday. The invaders captured the opening singles match and led by 2 sets to 1 in the other when it was called on account of darkness. After a desperate battle Dr. Heins Landmann of Germany downed the youthful Henry Wilfred Austin, 6—3, B—6,8—6, 5—7, 4—5, 6—4. Before British supporters had recov- ered from the downfall of their prin- cipal standard-bearer, Germany was well on its way to victory in the second match. Daniel Prenn, Germany's first ranking player, leading H. G. N. Lee at 6—4, 7—9, 6—3. Scores in Women’s Bowling Tourney BINGLEB. CLASS A. A.
