BY DENMAN THOMPSON. HATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 2—What about the Nationals? How do they compare in strength with the seven other clubs in the American League and what is the outlook for them in the pen- nant race now close at hand? With the training period nearing its end after five weeks of exercise designed to fit the athletes for the half year’s grind of the championship season the conclusion reached by a survey of the situation is that the Griffmen of 1921 must be regarded as of first division caliber with an excellent chance to offer real conten- tion for top honors, provided the pitchers deliver to the extent they are - IN WARM-UP HERE Displays His Old-Time Form.

Harry Wilson started on the slab for Maryland for the first time, and the Kendall Greeners were unable to do much against his delivery, although they scored runs in the second and third innings. Nisbet followed Wil- son o the ,_and while he was touched for four'hits during the time he officiated he held his share of the game well in hand.

Poor work in the outfleld put him in a hole in the sixth, when the Mary- nders counted five runs. Goldstein, Maryland's left fielder, led the two teams in batting, con- necting for four singles out of six times at the plate.

Courtney set the first six men down in order, aided by some fast 'work on the part of his inflelders. but in jthe third he slipped a cog and pre- scnted the natives with a tally. He started by walking Smith, who died stealing. Old Doc Neiderkorn then riffled a double to right center, took third while O'Rourke was disposing of Taylor, and scored when Courtney uncorked a wild pitch.
