Altrock batted for 1,000 in the season of 1924 when ho hit for Uhree bases in Washington's last game against the Red Sox. The Boston outfielders, bent upon al- owing Nick to score a home run, failed to field the ball slowly enough, for Altrock sat down at third base and refused to continue to the plate, Nick had every reason to believe that he would be one of the regular pitching Staff during the coming season and entered a perlod of se- vere training on the basketball courts with a team touring the east.

Tt was Nurmi insisting that these be hammered down, so it was al leged. J An incident that seemed to peeve Paavo was the ceremony with whien Ray was received when he arrived on the track. Among other things, a big boquet of flowers was present- ed to him, while Nurmi appears to have been pretty much ignored, Sia ew WILLARD SCHOOL BEATS MILLS IN GAGE GRME Willard school's basketball made its first appearance of the year yes- terday in the grade school league and handily cleaned up on the Mills school five, 24 to 7.

Uncle Robble will direct his efforts toward bolstering up his sec: endary defense. Dick Loftus is the ‘strongest can- didate for Tommy Griffith's job in right field. Robbié was forced to use Griffith agalnst left handed pitching last season, due to the frequent in- juries sustained by “Bunny” Nels, Brooklyn's only substitute right handed batter. If Loftus lands the regular berth, he will alternate with Nels, according to the brand of oppo- sitlon pitching. As a last resort. if Loftus fails to deliver or Dick Cox, powerful slugger obtained from Portland, Ore., does not measure up to requirements, Manager Robinson may send the veteran Jimmy John: ston tg the outfield. * Dewey" Hinkel and = Nelson Greene, Danny McPhee, a poly poly bit of portside machinery, have. been recalled from the sticks to battle for regular berths with Leon Williams, Jackson, Miss; Gomer Wilson, Des, Moines, Iowa, and Charles Schwartz, Great Falls, Mont,, Wilson appears to be the best of the tryouts. While Milton Stock siarted the Robins on their climb toward the pennant last spring, his finish was not so inspiring and there are indica- tions a switch at the hot corner is contemplated, The brunt of the pitching will rest on ‘Dazzy" Vancy, Burley Grimes and Bil] Doak and “Rube” Ehrhardt. Jack Fournier at first, Andy High in second and Johnny Mitchell at ahort are depended upon to return to thelr regular infield posts this yoar, with Zach Wheat in left and Bill Brown in center field.
