SPORTS. 12 Rookie Bluege Clinches Job With Nationals : GOEBEL IS AMONG OTHERS WHO ARE BILLED TO STICK Goslin Is a Fixture and Phillips and Gl;ason Are Al- most Certain to Remain—Milan Is Lavish in Praise of New Infielder. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. TAMPA. Fla.. March 18—Oswald Blucge has clinched a job yith the Nationals this year. The work of the youngster in the prepping here has been of such a uniformly high order that predictions have been freely made that he would be numbered among those to stick, but nothing authoritative has been forthcoming until today, when Manager Milan made the definite statement that Bluege would be carried all season. Milan asserted that there was little doubt that Eddie Goebel also would receive semi-monthly pay checks from the Washington club throughout the summer, sc that, with Leon Goslin a_fixturc and berths for Joe Gleason and Tom Phillips almost a certainty, it may be said that at least five of Griff's rookics practically arc assured of retention for 1922 It wus the showing Bluege made in the victory over the Phillies at Lees- burg Thursday that settled his fate. Milan was Javish in his praise of the inficld recruit f Peoria, and un- hesitat 1 2 bright future in base raises Bluege. has demonstrated i U he e i o has ir of hands 2 ball b c and alway 1 a4 position to throw natural with him, and. W is more, he rot only gets a ball awuy quickly, but has the arm to shoot it on a line from any distance. “The only question about him was his hitting. but 1'm thoroughly satis- ficd on that point after secing him in action against the Phillies. Wei- nert did not afford much of a test, for aparkabl he failed fo uncover anything markable, but with Winters it was different.’ The latter has a barrel of stuff, with speed to burn. ITe employs a wicked side-arm delivery caleu- Jated to make the best of hitters somewhat uneasy at the plate, but he did not feaze Rluege at all “The voungster stood right up at the pan without giving an inch and took his cuts. He is swinging now, t0o, not merely slapping at the bhall, and unless 1 am badly mistaken he is & to develon into a real hitter. Fluege looks mighty sweet fo me from every anzle. | think we Janded a prize prospect in him. and Thave alreudy notifled Griff that he meed not figure on sending him out anywhere.

He further states that it was fitention to drill Goebel as an elf. w his understudy for hi “The youngster is a crackajac! ball player right now,” Zeb opined. “and Tie has not reached the top of hix ability vet.

The first joint of his little finzer is painfully bruised, and, al- though ho took a full workout yes- terday, including participation in the infield drill. it was considered inad- visable to have him play this after- noon for fear of further aggravating the injury. In explanation of the fact that he has decided to have La Motte sub for Peck today instead of Bluege it was explained that Bob's greater expericnce in _opposing big league teams was the deciding factor. Bluege will be the relief man for shortstop, Milan said. adding that La Motte Would continuc to do most of his work around third base, as he has been defi- nitely cast as understudy for Shanks. Zachary Ts Due fo Start. Unless Milan alters his plans, Jeze- bel Tecumseh Zachary will start on the miound for the Nationals this aft- ernoon, with Frank Woodward fol- Jowing him, and either Tom Phillips or Ray Francis finishing up, choice between the last-named two depend- ing upon which appear sto be best fitted for the task. No announcement Was forthcoming from Manager Mitchell of the Braves as to the order in which he intended to use his pitch- ers. The teams, with the batting or- der of the Natlonals changed from that given out yesterddy, were ex- pected to take the field as follow: Natlonals. Braves. Judge, 1b. - Powel Harris, 2b. Kopf, ss.

Judge Landis, who is to officiate at the inauguration of the Nationals- Braves series by throwing out the first ball when play is called at 3 o'clock this afterncon, arrived this morning by boat from St. Petersburg, where he was entertained at dinner by the fans last evening, Clark Grif- fith being among those present. All the ceremonies planned for yesterday, when he originally was scheduled to arrive, were carried out. The high commissioner of base ball was wel- comed by a committee of city of- ficials headed by the mayor, and, fol- Jowing & motor trip to points of in- terest about Tampa, the judge was an Tonor guest at luncheon at the hos- telry where the Griffmen are quar- tered. - ‘Walter Johnson has completely re- covered from the cold which inter- rupted his training for a couple of days. He was out in uniform again yesterday and showed no {ll effects from his lay taking his turn at pitching in the batting practice. With Miller's wing feeling strong again his place on the ailing list has been taken by McGrew. The slim one complains that his arm gives him pain when he throws, but is on the job as usual, attempting to work the serles out. Dick Torres ia suffering from a badly bruised knee which was hurt meveral days ago and injured again by a foul tip yesterday. His leg 18 swelled and painful, but he plans to play this afternoon, regardless The Cuban is a game and willing worker. Ed Walsh, the once premier pitcher of base ball who has been appointed to the American League staff of um- pires and will officiate in his first zame for the Griffs and Braves to- day, like many other diamond vet- erans, has been bitten by the golf bug. Attired in natty knickers, Walsh Tiked for the links.yesterday in com- pany with Nick Altrock. another former star hurler for the White Sox. It was Walsh's first time out this year and Nick trimmed him. A metien pleture photograjher was on the fleld yesterday gotting views of the Natlonals in training. He .planned to remain over today and ’ ges in the lineup of | film Commissioner Landis in action as a pitcher. | Mitan called a meeting of his ath- | letes last night at which plans for the ! battle today and signals to be used against the Braves were discussed. Most of the rookies were excluded. but both Goebel and Bluege were there. “ATTRACTING” ATHLETES 15 SCORED BY BIG TEN CHICAGO, March 18.—Western Con- ference athletic directors here completed a two-day discussbon of ways and means of eliminating professionalism from college athletics, but refused to make public any of their proccedings other than those pertaining to minor affairs.

March 18.—Boxing en- thusiasts of this city were convinced today that Johnny Dundee of West Oranige, N. J. was a better aerial fighter than Charlle White of Chi- o. The two lads met at Madison | Sauare Garden last night, and the boy who had traded his Ttalian name of Guiseppe Carora for the Scottish monicker of Dundee was given the decision. White. who the peaceful name of Charles Anchor- witz, did not have an anti-aircraft £un. and thus could not cope with his opponent’s unusual strategy. I White worked his well known left hand overtime during the earlier rounds, but it seemed to lack wreck- ing qualities when it landed. After a few rounds Dundee threw over- board the caution that marked the first phase of the battle, and began to leave the floor on long plunges at White. He bounced off the ropes and landed on the startied Chicagoan before the latter could duck away. He vaulted into the blue, smoky atmosphere and planted his two mitts squarely on White's jaw, and then indulged pyro- technics that made even the specta- tors dizzy. Fans who go to see Dundee engage in a melee generally get action, and last night was,no exception. In the semi-final of eight rounds Jack Reeves of San Francisco was given the decision over Fay Kaiser of Cumberland, Md. Reeves pounded Kaiser continuously about the body, with the Maryland boy unable to block the blows. “TOP OF THE in_ private lifc bears| THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D.

Mike McTigue came back with & bright Irish smile and an Erin go bragh and Joe Lynch waved his jgloves with fine new green lacings. Bill Brennan also shoved into the conversation with a bit of Gaelic greeting, But otherwise the fine old saint who chased the smakes from Ireland didn’t get much of a hand. And you'd have bet your roll it would, considering the fine old Irish names most of the boys bore. But what's in a name. Nothing at all when {t_comes to the fighting game. The Duffys, the Sharkeys, the Kellys, the Gormans—they couid tell you whers Naples is, or Warsaw, or Rome, or Posen, but divil a bit they know about the ould sod, or Brian Boru or the red hand of Ulster. but surely the Irish Americans who used to supply America’s pugllists have yielded place. or, at leul.‘been obliged to share honors with Jewish boys, Itallans, Poles, Germans and what not.
