For pitchers Miguel has decided to rely upon Slim McGrew, Byroh Speece and Fred Marberry, each to go_three innings. This trio, with Fred Wing- fleld, are the most advanced of the hurlers, who for nedrly three weeks, and Martin seems to be justified in believing that the City League players who face them will have plenty of trouble in connecting with their deliveries. They took their final long workout tion for the tilt yesterday cd <o much stuff that it sing if the men in_the field back of them have very much to do, provided, of course, that their efforis are not marred by wildness. cGrew ‘Well Advanced. McGrew appears to be as near to ready for a three-inning stretch of duty as he ever could be, and with another week of work should be just about fit to go the nine-inning route, although there is little likelthood that he will be called on for So strenuous 3 essignment for some time to come. Deece is in great shape, too, so far as his arm is concerned, but to date ho ass been given little of the field- ing practi®e he seems to be so much in beed of. Better results from training are ap- parebt in the case of Marberry than any of the others, however. The huge Texan has worked harder than any member of the squad since pfactice was inaugurated February 18. By dint of much ardulous labor he has succeeded in reducing at the rate of about five pounds a week and has but little farther to go in attaining his goal of 190, twenty less than he was foting at the outset.

Russell Displays Skill, In addition to the rookie pitchers referred to above, Allen Russell ap- peared on the rubber in the batting practice yesterday for the first time and gave a most impressive exhibi- tion, consldering that he has had only three days of work. The rubber- armed veteran made no effort to get nything on the ball during his ten- ure, limiting himself to straight heav- ing, but he tossed with a free motion, and said his wing felt good. Clark Griffith has proved his class as a promoter by enlisting the ald of varlous civic orginastions of Tampa in boosting the exhibitions the Nationals are o tplay here with the National League clubs. The Tampa Rotary Club will sponsor the game 1o be played at Plant Field with the St. Louls Cardinals on March 22, the Kiwanians will take charge of the battle against the New York Giants on March 26, and the scrap with the Cincinnati Reds on March 29 will be conducted by the Community Chest organization. Arrangements now are being made to have the Boston and Brooklyn games of March 15 and 31, respec- tively, taken over by the Civitans and still ' another body of municipal boosters.

The trophy is on exhibition in the window of & Main street jewelry store, and has attracted considerable attention, ‘Will Ald City Charities.

Philadelphia Saturday, March 15, and the following Saturday, but that has not been definitely decided. The Washington team will leave for Philadelphia at 1 p.m. a week from tomorrow, arriving in Philadelphia av 4, and will begin the match about 7 o'clock. It has been suggested that five games be rolled in each city, total pins to count in deciding the winner. It is thought that will give each team a better opportunity to strike its stride than in the shorter three-game match. This has been put up to the Philadel- phia bowlers, and it rests with them Lto_decide, The bowlers selected to represent Washington are: Lorraine Gulli and Rena Levy of the Hilltoppers, Gladys Lowd and Elizabeth Ackman of the Mount Pleasants, Billie Willlams and Bronson Quaites of Billle's Team, Marjorie Bradt of the Commercials and Elizabeth Rawlings of City Post ce.

With the éxperience gained they will go into this match with greater confidence and fully ex- pect to give the Washington girls a real contest. Harry Carroll and Tad Howard, managers of the Recreatfon and Grand Central alleys, have generously offered to bear all the expenses of the Washington team, and their offer has been accepted by Manager Jim Baker. Carroll will accompany the ‘team to Philadelphia and assist in every way he can to make the trip a big success.

EW YORK, March 7—MacDonald Smith certainly has come back. Paired with Bill Melhorn of St. Louis and Shreveport, the San Franciscan won the first annual international professional team championship at the Miami Country Club, defeating Jock Hutchison and | Mike Brady in the thirty-six-hole ‘final. It will be recalled that Smith a few weeks ago won the California —The | OPen golf championship. This achievement did not cause much remark among those who follow golf casually. but golfers who fire up when a deal of attention to Smith’s victory. And now, teamed up with Bill Mehlhorn, he has. won the greatest honor.of the winter. Remember MacDonald Smith? About ten years ago Smith was tearing up things in the New York metropolitan district and other golfing centers. His improvement for two or three | years was steady. brilliant, in sooth. Every one began to 100k upon him as a coming national champlon. ‘Then his game began to go back on him. He dropped out of sight. In the course of the war came a report that he was working in a munitions plant. Then he was forgotten. The sad, sad story, it was said, of a man who had gone ahead too fast and lost his head.
