SPORTS. { ' | | ‘ ‘INFIELDER SAYS AILING ARM HAS BEEN FIXED Tells Griff in Returning Signed Contract That He Expects to Experience No More Diffi- culty With His Throwing Arm. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. RANK O'ROURKE apparently is convinced that so far as the short- F stopping assignment for the Nationals this year is concerned, the question is definitely settled in his favor. The former Toronto in- fielder, whose diamond prowess so favorably impressed Clark Griffith during one of his numerous scouting trips last season_that the local club prexy snapped him up at a considerable expenditure in-the way of play- ing material, is confident of his ability to make the grade in fast com- pany on his second attempt. i O'Rourke’s signed contract, one of the few to be received by the ‘Washington club recently, has reached local headquarters, accompanied by a letter in which he voices the belief that he can demonstrate that the Griffmen made no mistake in giving him the opportunity to succeed where he failed with the Brooklyn club several seasons ago. In his communication O'Rourke as- of yore there little question but serted that his throwing arm feels| | Byse Ball Cost Climbs sironger now than at any time in the Jast few s and that he is anxious From 99 Cents to $1 Micies's whi oriform et a2l | Base van in eing 1o cost ickey' vhip s bect e sturdy a: e e e Washington fans more this year { than Iaxt. .

The new plan is expected, in addition to costing the fan who takes in all sched- | uled games an additional 77 thal he stands the best chance of any of the T candidates on the Nationals' ter to win the berth at short. It is ift’s firm conviction that O'Rourke t vear lacked only a robust wing enable him to climb to the heights tardom among the shortfielders of n League, and, in the hope of the Americ: of improving the ailing member, sent him to Bonesetter Reese, following the close of the season. O'Rourke 2s- serts that his visit to Youngstown resulted in the removal of the kink that has interfered with his throwing and that he expects to be able to shoot the ball across the diamond with the best of them this year.

Griff explains making hotel arrangements for eight athletes with the vague observation that some one else may show up who might need the additional training. The uoumr- tion is that he has Frank Baker in mind, but Grift declares ab-so-lute-ly nothing new has developed in his ef- forts to land the former home-run king. - Speaking of O'Rourke, his arm, as 1t was last season, was not 80 weak. | of His ailment, like that of Jimmy( O'Neill, who probably will offer the i Stiffest opposition for the job. causes | him to appear awkward in throwing, but he gets the ball away from him | world ge quicker than O'Neill, and seems to be; w,,dnt:a;l:! ;illir?n:r';m; E:rtht::o,ym.;' = able 1o hop it over at & sufiiclent rate Iwiiem Diter QA of speed to obtain a great MAajority | wij of the close decisions at first.

Costa was taller and had a greater reach than McCann and showed more #kill at boxing. He had the edge in six rounds and fought evenly in another. McCann tried for a knock-out in the third and floored his opponent for a count of eight before the gong ended the ses- sion.

Brady's face was a study as the rounds progressed. and Jefferies was in a fury. In the twenty-third Corbett be- came careless and began to exchange wallops with Jefferies. ly, the big fellow caught him in a corner, walloped him on the jaw and the fight was over.
