SPORTS. tly in First Week’s Work : Lewis Regains Mat Title From Zbyszk REAL TEST FOR HURLERS TO BE GIVEN NEXT WEEK Indications Now Are That Digges, Brillheart and McGrew Will Fall by Wayside—Other New- comers Are More Promising. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. AMPA, Fla, March 4—The first week of training for the young pitchers of the Nationals, which ended today, finds them in better’ the Washington club. Although two or three were threatened with wing lameness a couple of days back, there is not a really sore arm in the lot now, and when Manager Milan assumes charge Monday Trainer Mike Martin will bequeath him a bunch of raw material as far advanced in condition as could be expected. None of the yearlings will have & chance to demonstrate just what he Dossesses In -the way of deceivers until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, when the ban on using curves will be lifted. By a week from today & pretty accurate line will be ob- teinable on the natural prowess of =i} candidates, but this will not suffice &S a guide for pruning, as the ele- t trol. ability to hold run- ners ir bases and action under fire are equally important. These factors will not be determinable until ey have actually worked in games where there is something at stake, &nd it is doubtful if even practice contests will be staged before the middle of the month. Display Their Gameness. Although it is far too early to hazard a guess as to who will be ‘who when the time comes to get rid of the chaff, it already Is apparent that one athlete cannot make the grade and there are sound reasons for the belief that a couple of others are not yet ready to stand the gaff of pitching big league base ball. Ed Digges has so many rough edges that there is not telling how long it will take to smooth them off, and he is not in the first blush of youth. _Brillheart, although he has_fine pitching form and appears to be a ball player of more than ordinary ability, is so young that it is un- reasonable to "expect him to com- pete successfully in a game where rience is such a weighty factor. hard to picture a mere lad of It seventeen or eighteen holding his own in competition with athletes having the wisdom that comes only with long service. His stamina is subject to question. With Slim McGrew. it is a case of greenness. The tall Texan is richly endowed with native ability; of that there can be little doubt. He already has demonstrated speed aplenty und may uncover a good curve bail, but been using a faulty motion and gives other evidence of rawness that will take a vear or two of Steady work under competent coaching to fron out. Courtney in Good Trim. Courtney, rather naturally, looms as the best prospect in camp at this writing. Having been with the Na- tionals since the fall of 1919, he knows more of major league ways than any of the others, but the most signifi- cant thing about him is that he ap- pears for the first time to be in really first-class shape. It already is an es- tablished fact that when n condi- tion the left-hander has enough stuft to win ball games in the big show, and the prospects are now that he ~will be primed to deliver the best that is in him when the bell rings Of the remaining quintet Ralph Mil- Jer impresses one most favorably. Despite the fact that he was two lays late in reporting, he is as far dvanced as any of the squad, ex- ciuding Courtney, who has been exer- cising_his wing, indoors and out. for several weeks. His crook-armed method of throwing does no: seem to handicap him in the least and he appears to_have more finish than the majority. Good control is one cf this Jefi-hander's chief assets, and unlessa Jot of competent critics are wrong, he will remain on the pay roll of C. Grif- fith & Co. Phillips and Woodward are about on & par_as far as experience is con- cerned, but the New Orleans gradu- a ust be regarded as the better roghect. as there is much room for dorbt whether Woodward can be in- duced to take the proper care of him- self. Phillips has a good head, knows how to pitch and Is a dependable sort, Lut a performer of his years cannot be expected to improve much. The New Havenlte is canny enotigh, but there is no assurance he can be relied on to make use of his knowledge. No amount of ability will suffice unless ndition and inclination’ are - com- bined with it Franecis Has His Faults. The only advantage Francis has over this pair is yvouth. He is fast and_intelligent, but has some bad pitching habits to overcome. He has an arm that is as strong as steel, but depends upon it to do all the work, and considerable drilling will be nec- essary for him to acquire the knack of getting weight of body into his delivery. RAIN CHECKS NATIONALS FIRST TIME IN 3 YEARS TAMPA, Fla, March 4.—For the first time in the three years the Nationals have been coming here bad weather this morning prevented practice at the sched- uled hour. Rain started about 8:30 and continued past the time the players usually report for work. They will get out on the field later in the day if the skies clear, otherwise a workout miy be staged in one of the large fair Bulldings at Plant Field. owner George Washington Grant at a cost of nearly $20,000. Bill Shettsline, business manager of ‘the Phillies, who will prep to get out of last place In John Heyd- ler’s circuit at Leesburg, not far from here, was in town for a conference with Griff today. He wants to sched- ule some practice games with the Griffmen, but will not be accommo- dated unless they can be arranged to not interfere with the exhibitions listed with the Braves. Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary is com- ing to Tampa Monday, but whether he dons a uniform and starts to work or takes a train back to Graham, N. C., depends upon the outcome of the confab he had with Griffith. Jezebel wired asking for permission to discuss terms in person and it was granted, although against the rules. If Zach signs, as is confidently ex- pected, the second squad will be complete. M'LEOD IS NINETEENTH IN NEW ORLEANS GOLF NEW ORLEANS, March 4—WIith jthe prospects of better weather and playing conditions today in the second thirty-six holes of the southern open golf championship being held at the New Orleans Country Club, chief in- terest centered in the pairing of Gene Sarazen of Pittsburgh, and Leo Diegel of this city. Sarazen led the fleld of fifty-eight golfers in the thirty-six holes played yesterday, with 146, with Cyril Walker ! of New Jersey, three strokes behind him. Diegel was in third place, with 1 Jim Barnes, United States open champlon, and Jock Hutchison, British open champion, were tied for sixth place, each having 157. o R Fred McLeod of Washington was| nineteenth with 86-75—161.

Baker, Bannockburn Club golfer, broke into the “hole-in-one” club this week, when he made_the 168-yard par 3 hole on the Cabin John course with one stroke.

Goslin provided the first casuslty of the training trip and Torres the sec- ond, the Cuban being wound=1 on the left arm, when he stopped a foul ball with it while back of the plate in batting practice.

None of the party was injured nor shaken up enough to prevent a foursome in which Griff and Harris were paired against Hendrick and Courtney. The match was halved. Mike Martin found time enough in between attending to his multifarious duties to indulge in_a little golf himself yesterday, and with cne of the newspaper men he played a couple of other scribes. Mike's team won, but all participants were pledgel to secrecy regarding scores. Al Schacht, Nick Altrock’s partner in clowning last season, decided ‘to quit_base ball.
