' Outfielder Goslin Draws a Suspension : Baker Battling for Third-Base Job With Yankees PLAYER ON WHOM MUCH DEPENDS BREAKS RULES BY DENMAN THOMPSON. TAMPA, Fla., March 10.—A bombshell was exploded in the camp of the Nationals today, when Leon Gosliw was suspended 1or tailure to observe training rules. Goslin received notice of his suspension, signed by both President Griffith and Manager Milan, and he watched today’s practice session in civilian clothes from the side lines. The term of his suspension was not speci~ fied. Goslin, who admits the truth of the charges against him, is very much cut up over the fate which has befallen him. He plans to ask for reinstatement on a promise to bc good. Neither Presicent Griffith nor Manager Milan had indicated whether Goslin's plea will be given consideration. Goslin, slated for a regular job as picket man for the Nationals in I his first year as a major leaguer, may earn the additional distinction of being placed in the middle pasture instead of right field, to which, by } common conseat, he has been assigned in the pre-season calculations. There is little doubt but that 1f fielding skill alone was essential, without regard for experience of batting prowess, Eddie Goebel would get the nomination. for in pure speed and defensive ab he probably is the pecr of any fly chaser on the roster, but Goslin having the- call because of his hitting power, it becomes a question whether Goose also wouldn't prove more etfective in center field because of his wonderful arm, than the present incumbent, Rice last year having been woefully deficient in throwing.

An agreement was the most effective whip in the middle pasture, especially as the heaves re- anired of him are in the main longer than those necessary from the other two gardens. While on the subject of outfielders 1t should be recorded that Milan him- self appears to be in better physical condition than for many seasons past. The manager, who says he has not feit so well for several years, both looks and acts it, and he believes he can avoid the trouble with his leg that put him on the shelf on several occasions during the 1921 campafgn. - He has assigned himself to the post in left fleld. but only tentatively, for the new pilot asserts that if any one proves better qualified for the job, or if he again is afflicted with a charley horse he will yank himself from the line-up instantly. Fans who saw the unhesitating manner in which he dealt with wabbling pitchers during his brief tenure as director last sum- mer will feel confldent Zeb means what he says. All Players on Hand. There were no absentees from yes- terday’s drill at Plant Field, Zachary having recovered from the heavy cold that kKept him on the side lines the day before. The weather also was more propitious, there being no high wind to contend with, and as a result, the athletes got in as beneficial a work-out as any vet staged. The feature of the session was the tutoring given Miller, Phillips and Gleason in_ the art of pitching with AUTO GLASS FOR WINDSHIELDS OR BODIES.
