23 SPORTS. I [ TO GET TEST ELSEWHERE Former to Be Given a Trial in Outfield, While Latter Is Scheduled for Infield Tryout—Richbourg Joins Tampa Squad. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. T AMPA, February 21.—Among the young Washington pitchers being put through their paces here are two who may prove of value to the club in some capacity other than that for which they are training. Godfrey Brogan and Clive Dudley are the athletes referred to. Tt is a well known fact that a great majority of the players whose names adorn the batting orders of big league clubs and who earn fame by their Two Rookie Hurlers May G BROGAN AND DUDLEY DUE .

Even the one wnd only Hans Wagner, gen zarded as the greates game ever produced, it the outset of his career and played in the outfield for the Louis- ville and Pittsburgh clubs before it was discovered that he really was cut out to be an infielder.

Judged by th ical attributes snd their records in the minors, Dud- ley and Brogan would seem to have 4 better chance than any of the other young pitel with the Na- tionals to become useful in some line other than box work. The latter used his southpaw ts to such #ood advantage in the South Atlantic cague in 1932 that he compiled an average of .667, representing eighteen victories and nine defeats chalked up in the thirty-five games in as a boxman. He was such zn uccomplished hitter, however, th “he was drafted for service in twent sine additional contests and had th distinction of le: sue with a batting ave st_qualifie: roperly locate last summe when he was purchased by ton year before last for the fall he rofused to repe the Charleston club refusced mand for a part of the pric He, was placed on s list 4s a result and remained ineles| for the scason, when it was im- ble for him to play hall anyhow 5 of an operation (hat required everal months for recuperation, and having entirely recovered his health he was restored to good standing in organized base ball this winter and now is seeking to resume the career interrupted for am entire Washing- in his d purchi spended season.

It should occasion little rprise if the youngster who makes his home in.New York city, is looked over twith an idea of converting him into a fivchaser before this train- ing trip end Dudley Is Youthfsl. Dudley. who has been the proper! of the Washington club for a ¥ o formed for the aleigh club Just season, is one of the youngest members of the squad, and thus far ayed nothing in a base ball y but pitching, which means that e will not be handicapped by hav- . bad methods to unlearn in the t that it is di pect him in the role of an.inf Although he is a b alout 180 pounds 10 i type best ound n record of nin and seven lost furn Houglit in connection with his punc Ine prowess. That he wields @ mean mace is indleated by the fact Pie niont League hurlers suffered at his hands last season to the extent of a 3 average, one that is not to be voffed at, no matter in what com- it is registered. If Dudley dis- any aptitude at all for infield work he is likely to be seen fre- quently in action at the far side of the diamond during the spring nractice. Richbourg Reporth. The advance squad was completed today by the arrival right on sched- ule {ime of Lance Richbourg, who is cxpected to contend .with George Tisher. Carr_Smith and Nemo Leibold ,r the unfilled post in the outfield. hbourg came here from Gaine: . where he was first d&co ered veral vears ago b MceGraw when the Giants trained at the seat of the University of Florida. 1In those days Richbourg was an infield- er, and it s a< w third baseman that he was York club. Lacking the polish necessary for 1he majors at that time, he wWas al- lowed to drift away and has since bheen acquiring it in the sticks. With Nashville of the Southern Associa- tion last season Richbourg compiled a batting average of .373 before a broken leg put him out of commis. sfon. He asserts his prop is as good as new now and, being normally a ‘ery fast runner, is expected to,prove a formidable candidate for a regular Jjob with the Nationals, Rain that fell all Tuesday night and part of yesterday morning came as something of a novelty to members of the Washington club who have spent the last four springs here. The moisture had little effect on the sandy soil of this section, how- ever, and has_interfered.in no,way with the athletes getting” their usual quantity of exercise Uning Medicine Ball. An innovation for training so far as the Nationals are concerned, although familiar_in the camps of “other big leugue clubs, were the medicine balls introduced by Mike Martin for”the first time yesterday. Slightly smaller in circumference than a basket ball, but a great deal’ heavier, they are valculated td strengthen muscles that otherwise would not be exercised.
