S ANationals’ BY DENMAN inaugurated today with a short the mercury to climb above the 80 de; calculated to fit them for the more the veterans arrive later on. Fortified with a couple of real meals and a night's sleep sans blankets, the athletes showed no traces of fatigue from their day and a half of railroad- ing and jumped into their tasks with a will, but any tendency to overdo was firmly squelched. saw to that. The club trainer has been placed in complete charge of the gang by President Griffith and will be held accountable for their condition when Manager Milan arrives to as- sume the reins a week from todayw Martin Welcomes His Tank. Martin welcomed the assignment and cheerfully assumed the responsi- bility. He knows his job and takes it seriously. Having acted in a simi- lar capacity with Griff_for upward of a score of years in Cincinnati, New York and Washington, Miguel's first offieial act was to hang out the “slow sy” sign and he then proceeded 10 hop about the field like a hen mothering a flock of ducklings seeing that it was obeyed. Ralph Miller, the southpaw obtained from Bloomington of the Three "Eye League, was the only absentee. This gonstitutes somgthing of ' record, for as a rule thé first day finds sev- era] athletes missing from one cause or.another.~ Miller probably will ar- rive some time during the day and .be on the job tomorrow. He is com- ing from his home at Vinton, Iowa. * Not more than an hour was devoted to the initia] workout. At 11 o'clock this morning the boys emerged from their dressing room and by noon Martin had shooed all of them to the showers, with nothing to do till to- morrow, when a similar program will obtain. The work itself consisted simply of flelding bunts, in which all hands participated, good for improv- ing the wind and loosening muscles, but hard on stiff backs; some easy lobbing and a jog or two around the haif-mile track of the fair grounds, which embraces the diamond of the Florida State League team, which the Nationals use. Batting practice today was confined to one athlete—Leon Goslin—and was furnished by iarry Courtney. The lank left-hander worked indoors for a month in the Y gym at home, and for. the past couple of weeks has been coaching the high school team at Clearwater, near here, and showed his early | art. He informed Gri rival last evening that he could throw a ball through the eye of a needle and, had developed a lot of smoke. Grift was skeptical and offered to wager he could catch him bare- handed, but after Courtney had un- limbered tdfay the boss, who was not among those present, was advised by interested observers not to press the bet. McGrew Is No Midget. After assigning the boys to quar- ters in pairs. as s custamary—Alt- rock and oWodward, Brillheart and Noone, Harris and Courtney, Goslin and Phillips. Gleason and Digges and Torres and Miller, the affable custo- dian of the hotel register took one glance at McGrew and gave him a room to himself, with a special bed. The young Texan admits to “a little Martin was considerably worried as to how to provide working clothes for him until his made-to-order togs arrive, but finally solved the prob- fem by. giving him one of Courtney’s | shirts and a pair of Johnson's pants. . with some seams let out here and there. Grift_has adopted a strictly hands- | off epolicy in regard to the early trajning of his youngsters, and asserts “he does not even want to see them in action for a week, but he has some | ideas that will be put into effect later on if they meet with the approval of Manager Milan. One is a plan to} develop Goslin into a sort of Babe Ruth the second, and the other is a scheme designed to avoid the attacks of charleyhorse th- veterans are subject to in the spring. Iy It is Griff's firm belicx that if Gos- lin can be taught to hit to right field ; instead of to left he will give the Aembino. something of a battle for | home run honors. It is proposed to accomplish this by having Goslin | alter his stance at the platel The; youngster now places his right foot Close to the platter with his left foot a considerable distance from it which results in most of his drives being “sliced.” With his feet an equal distance from the plate he will the full power of his'swing, “hook” " it to right field, where the barricades, not only in Washington, but more Mike Martin | over” six feet five inches in height.|’ meet the ball earlier and, u(illllngi PORTS!

February 27.—The New York Giants were. today on their way to spring practice at Ban Antonio, Tex., and th8 Yankee ad- vance guard was ready to board the train late this afternoon for New Orleans. ‘There will be few regu- lars aboard when the train leaves, but many of them, in addition to several rookies, will get asboard en route. « “Chick” Fewster and Scout Joe Kelly will get on at Baltimore.

The annoying handicap of charley- horse is to"be fought by means of calisthenics. Griff contends that set- ting-up exercises similar to those re- quired in the Army will reduce to a minimum the chances for ‘strained muscles and pulled tendons due to sudden and violent demands made on limbs flabby from months of inac- tivity. It is his plan to have the athletes lined up in squad formation and go through spreading, bending and dipping exercises at commands from Milan or Martin as drill mas- ters each day before taking the field, with just a few simple movements the first few days and gradually lengthening the drill to ten minutes or_s: Mike Martin has acquired a beauti- ful live-broiled lobster complexion from his toil in putting Plant Field in shape for the athletes, and Fred Harveycutter, who “superintended” the job, Is darker in hue than most . of the natives. “Stanley Harris has been badly bit- ten By- the golf bug ‘and has become .qulte proficient for a novice with only a few weeks' experience.

C, MON'DAY,’ FEBRUARY 27, 1922. - : Bright Outlook for Sclgblastic Base Ball DEMPSEY’S NEXT BATTLE IS LIKELY TO BE ABROAD BY SPARROW MeGANN. EW YORK, February 27.—Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, now has in hand several definite propositions from European promoters for matching the heavyweight champion. In lire with the recent statement that a Dempsey-Carpentier fight in England is a strong possibility, two of these offers involve the French champion. Financial terms presented to Kearns read very well indeed. i every prospect now that Kearns will book passage shortly for Dempsey, There is and himself for April sailing. Then the fireworks will start on the other side. b= 2 {MUST BEATHILLTOPPERS From across the water comes a grist of interesting dope from that globe- trotting western sportsman, Horry Dime. He says that after Carpentier stows away Ted (Kid) Lewis in April he will face a demand by the French that he meet Marcel Nilles. 1s a Real Heavyweight. _Nilles, who is a réal heavyweight, has been laying the French heavies away in workmanlike fashlon lately. He has “beaten Lequenne, so-called “champion of the north,” whatever that may mean; Stuber, former cham- pion of the French army; Battling Smith, champion of the American army of occupation; Jeft De Haus, the Belgian_heavyweight; Dan McGol- drick; Guardsmgn Penwill and Paul Hams. Nilles has become very popular with the Parisian fight fans. The French think Carpentier can’ take him, but they are not so certain of this that they do_not wish to see the two men meet. As for Battling Siki, the Sene- galese, who was a holy terror to the French fans a short while ago, he recently tackled Paul Journee-—well known over here—and was lucky to get the decision in fifteen rounds. Even the French realize that Journee is not so much, so Siki is no longer a fearsome figure on the European fis- tic_horizon. However, the big white-haired boy of the boulevards of Paris still is Carpentier. His victory over George Cook has restored him to the place he occupied before Dempsey crashed him for a row of toolsheds, and, talk as you please, this goes for London, too. Hew French Describe It. What would happen to the hatband of the average American pugilist if he could read about himself in the papers as Carp has the pleasure of doing every time he bats an eye. Here is the latest: “Carpentier! Eh, bien! We watch h¥m as his'intense moments of fight come and we cannot breath. Our eyes tremble. Yet, our senses thrill liam | their own way the first Georgetown with compelling delight. The sleek champion heralds the supreme mo- ment with his eyes. Ah, those eyes: They open wide, to their fullest ex- tent. They light. Ah, they blaze with the flerce illumination of ter- rible intensity. What now? He be- comes catlike. He moves delicately. He poises more gragefully. It is ter- rible. It is magnificent. The oppo- negt is prepared for the onslaught, yes. But also he is intimidated. He knows of his peril. Yet, whence will it come? What must he do to avoid it? Boum! Boum! The blow has fallen. Descamps dances with joy. Strong men weep and the air echoes with acclaim.” Maybe Jack Dempsey will think twice before going to Europe after he reada that! Friends of Benny Leonard were anxiously awaitingvhis appearance in this city. There is a story that in his battle with Pal Moran at New Orleans he seriously damaged the right thumb which gave him so much trouble last summer. If this is true, there will be little chance, it is feared, of his mesting Charley White in the Garden on March 17.

Battery candidates at Cantral, ‘Western and Tech high schools reported for practice last week, and those at Eastern and Business were to be sent through their initial workouts of the year today. Milder weather will bring out large squads at each of the public institutions, while Gonzaga, Army and Navy Preps and some of the other private schools soon will begin readying for ex- tensive diamond campaigns. X Nearly 150 boys are éxpected to try for the nine at Central. Among them will be guite @ number of last year's squad. The more prominent of these will be Capt. Davis, second baseman, Rauber, shortstop, all-high school ‘squad selections lakt summer; catcher, and Dey, third baseman, Of the veteran pitchers at hand, Brinkman was generally chosen for the 1921 mythical all-high team. Others expected to help the Blue and White on the slab are Edelin, a right-hander, and Germane, a south- paw. White In ch-in-Chief. All told, there were sixteen pitgh- ers and seventeen catchers at work last week. These boys went through brief workouts under the direction of Doc White, former Georgetown and White Sox hurling star, who now is athletic director at Central. Doc will be coach-in-chief of the Mount Pleas- ant team. He will be assisted by Jim Sprigman. an alumnus, who tutored Central tossers some years ago. Other alumni may help these mentors to develop the nine. Some of the newcomers to the Blue and White squad have played good ball as sandlotters here. Mooney and Childress of the foot ball team have had some experience as outfielders. The latter also has done a bit of catching. Casey, at present manag- ing the basket Ball team, has worked as a receiver with independent clubs. Fellers, infielder, and Williams, out- fielder, know something of the game. Much ‘also is expected of a young catcher who was at Petersburg, Va., High School last year. Tech Has Veteran Material. Tech is fairly well off for veteran material. It "has available Capt. Shanks and Johnson, catchers: Smith, Offutt and Tew, pitchers: Quesada, first baseman: Murray, third bas man, and Halley and Rhees, outfield- ers. New squad members of whom much is expected are Harwood and Price, shortstops, and Booth, second baseman. = The Maroon and Gray likely will have 125 boys striving for places on the team. The battery squad that reported last Monday numbered {wenty-seven. The Manual Trainers again will be coached by Wilbur Apple. director of athletics at the school. He generaly has been successful with his teams. For several seasons Tech combin: tipns have possessed formidable ba ters and Apple believes he has some boys this year who will cause oppos- ing pitchers much worry. Pitching prospects are brighter than last spring, when the Manual Trainers had but one dependable hurler. Western Squad Is Small. The squad at Western will be somewhat small, but CoacH Green thinks well of what he has at hand. Battery candidates went through workouts Tuesday and Friday of last week. There were about ten pitch- ers and two or three catchers atténd- ing the drills. Among the box ar- tists were Charlie Hageage, Stewart, White, Homer Thomas and Nelson | Jeffress, who had some experience With independent teams. Most of the infielders and outfleld- ors will be drafted from newcomers. Those expected_to makc strong bids for berths are Cy Cummings, Stearns, Dulin, Tom Brown, Jack Edmonston, | Skah, a_Chinese 'student, and Os. wald. Green will have his charges at work out-of-doors daily just as soon as weather permits and prob- ably will begin practice tilts earlier | than any of the other high schools. Kelly of Business Has Task. Coach Mike Kelly at Business will have to build an entirelly new team. Capt Ray Barrelt, outfielder, is the only regular of last years nine in school. Right now, it seems that he, | CIiff Claridge and’ Clark will make | up_the Stenographers outer defense. Bangs will be tried as a catcher and_Cummings and French, who was at Western last year, as pitchers. Clarence Claridge likely an infleld berth. Guyon Is Facing Tro At Eastern, Coach Guyon is com- fronted with practically the same problem as that with which Kelly must wrestle at Business. About all left at the Capitol Hill institution are Capt. Mevers, who plaved short- stop; Roudabush, an outfielder and pitcher, and Guerriere, former catch- er. Moran, pitching ace of the East- ern 1921 nine, now is in Florida and will not be available for service in the spring. Guyon is planning to use Guerriere as a thinl baseman and Meyers as a second baseman this season. Hook and Herzog will be tried as catchers; Litchfield, brother of the famous Lefty of some years ago. and Adams as piichers, Sutton and Dornin as in- flelders, and Burdine and Ady as out- felders All of these boys have parti- cipated in other sports at Eastern. Army and Navy Preps, Gonzaga and St. John's are likely to be repre- sented by sturdy teams. Each has a number of experienced players for its squad. Nines also will be organ ized at Friends’ School. St _Alban' and Y. M. C. A. Day School. The la ter trio had fairly good junior teams in the field last season. Heavy schedules are being arranged for all the high schools, each of which will get into a number of games before the league champion- ship opens April 25. Managers of the teams are Waiter Atkinson, Central; €harles Miller, Tech; Liogel Summers, Western: Thomas Dufief, Business, and Hicks Baldwin, Eastern. will earn Society Brand Clothes have that thorobred look which comes from fine woolens; custom tailoring, and that . masterful something which indubitably stands for STYLE. .Society Brand Clothes for épring are here in volume and variety. » Alfi Society Brand top coats for women.
