Griff Plans to A ssemble Gang of Youngsters : Fournier Brings Luck to Dodgers WILL SEEK TO BOLSTER HIS TEAM WITH ROOKIES Has Made Start by Landing Zahniser, Reil, Donald- son and Dudley—Cole Hurls Tygers. to Shut-Out Victory BY DENMAN ITH Pitchers Zahniser, Reil W Over Nationals. THOMPSON. and Dudley and Outfielder Donald- son already on hand, and another flinger whose identity will be revealed shortly when arrangements for his acquisition have been completed, Clark Griffith has made a fair start toward rounding up a bunch of recruits from which he hopes to bolster his team. 1t is Griff's intention to assemble as many promising players as can be obtained from the sandlots, colleges and minors and conduct a summer training camp right here to supplement that held at the spring base in Florida. The showing of Zachary in the Tygers yesterday has convinced the first game of the series against the boss that he will have to look else- where than to his veterans for efficient box work, and the splendid per- formance given by Zahniser in outpitching the veteran Bush of the Yankees Monday, following the victory registered against the Mackmen by Hollingsworth the day before, has led him to believe it is more ad- visable to use hurlers without reputations, to the general end of build- ing for the future, than oldtimers unable to deliver the goods now. Dudley is a_mere schoolboy in his teens who, however, shows much | s st for a time to absorb pointers b fore being placed somewhcre for de- velopment. ~ Reil arrived only last| night and will be given his first in spoction today. Donaldson took initial workout with the club 3 terday. It develops he is a right- | hand hitter, a fact pleasing to Griff, | Wwho has an_oversupply of portside sticksmiths, Evans being the only ex- ception to the rule among the garden- ers. Donaldson, who has been hit- ting around the .400 mark for Tampa this season, earned a reputation as a slugger in’ the Appalachian League last year, and will be shoved into the line-up as soon as he gets his bear- ings. s Bushmen Drop a Notch, The Bushmen slumped back_into ®eventh place ax a result of the 3-to-0 ! defeat administered to them yester- day by the Tygers hefore some 12.000 f fans, “composed largely of visiting 2 mobles.

The most that is to be feared from the standpoint of general competition ix that the Brooklyns and the Pitts- burghs and the Cincinnatis—perhaps the Reds—will puncture each other's tires and run flat just at the time | that the Giants are flattening their old percentage on some poor base ball team that can't win a promise of any kind of a crown in the base ball heavens. The Chicago Sox are praying that a change of air will change their luck. It happens occasionally that a team will get on the road and play far better ball than it has played at home. Usually it is the theory of | base ball men that they are favored. by their home games.
