Griffmen Easily Partr4—4 Pages SHOW SUPERIOR PITCHING AND HITTING IN 10-6 WIN Marberry Displays Good Form in Box and Wingfield Aids With Bat After Poor Start—Goslin Gets Three Bingles in Tampa Tilt. AMPA, Fla,, March 15. T before their Tampa friends in brilliant style this afternoon. well did the Nationals' hurlers perform and the batters swing their Bucky Harris’ Nationals strutted their stuff | So flails that, despite the really cold weather that had all the spectators shivering before the first inning was well under way, few of the crowd left before the final out of the fray in which Dave Bancroft's Boston Braves were trounced, 10 to 6. The teams piloted by the debutant managers put a deal of acti n into the engagement and the Braves, although far in the ruck when they came up for their final turn at bat, ere able to give the fans a thrill by plac- ing on the bases enough potential runs to deadlock the game, But Harris seemed able to trot out a better lot of hurling talent than Bancroft and the National batsmen took suffici nt advantage of the Boston moundsmen to settle today’s encounter before it was very old. The trio of sluggers that gave the Brooklyn pitchers a miserable time at Clearwater yesterday was very much in evidence today. But Sam Rice, Goose Goslin and Joe Judge did not provide the winning punch. They started their team on its way to vie- tory. Then Red Hargrave and Fred Wingfield, the pitcher who had per- mitted the Braves to draw up to even terms with the Nationals, got in a lot of mean work in the sixth frame to clinch the argument. The Griffs were three runs te the good when Wingfield ascended tae mound in the sixth inning, Fred Mar- berry, starting hurler, having vielded but two tallies during his term of service, while his clubmates had gar- mered four markers off Fred Lucas, right-hander, in the first three ses- sions and another off Joe Batchelder, southpaw, in the fifth. In his initial round Wingfield was soundly walloped by the opposition and kindly mixed in a pass with a brace of singles and two doubles for + three scores that knotted the tally. Grifts Come Right Back. But the Nationals came right back in their batting portion of the frame at the expense of Batchelder. X wild throw by Jack Kelleher gave Rajah Peckinpaugh a life and Red Har- triple to right center sent National shortstop home. Red could not count when Wingfield beat out a tapped ball to Kelleher, but got across after Casey Stengel, one of the heroes of the last world series, caught Carr Smith's loftn Harris’ double to center put Wingfield on third and successive walks to Rice and Goslin counted the pitcher. Thereafter the Nationals practically went along under wraps, All told, Bucky Harris' crew gave the Braves' hurlers a good larruping. Four clouts, one a double and another a triple, mingled with a base on balls, were good for a quartet of tallies off Lucas in the first four frames. Batch- elder gave up four free transporta- tions and a_triple, double and two singles for four more runs in three rounds, and even Tim McNamara, a real good right-hand veteran, was banged for two doubles, as many singles and a pair of tallies in the seventh and eighth of the Nationals' turns at bat. The work of Harris' hurlers was much better. Marberry was in trouble in only one of his innings, the second. Then he was nicked for three of the four blows he granted, and they pro- duced a pair of counters. Wingfield was quite unsteady at the outset, but after his first frame he went along well, although a neat double play helped him to some extent in the eighth. Goslin Gets Three Bingles, Goslin was the big noise among the Nationals' batters this afternoon, garnering a double and two singles in three legal turns at the plate. But he did not do all the work. After the Braves had smacked in two tallies in the second session with successive singles by Tierney and Melnr flelder’s choice on Stengel and O two-bagger, the Nationals got busy. Goslin opened the second with a pass, Judge singled and Goose ambled home. as Kellehgr manhandled Prothro's tap. Peck's one-baser sent Joe across the plate. Harris got to base when Bancroft fumbled in_the third frame and counted on Rice's three-base slam to right Goslin, not to be_outdone by his fellow slugger, sent Sam in with a double to center. There was noth- ing more done until the fifth, when a walk to Rice, Goslin's single and a fielder's choice on Judge produced a marker. Then came the hectic sixth, in which both clubs chased three runs home. But the Nationals were able to get more in the seventh off McNamara, doubles by Peck and Wingfield and Smith’s single netting a pair of tal- lies. The Braves, who had been help- less after once tying the score, jammed the bases in the eighth to Do avail, but did stick in a final run with Phillips’ two-bagger and a sin- =zle by Sperber, followed by a force- out in the ninth. ACOSTA IS ON HIS WAY TO JOIN MOBILE TEAM HAVANA, March 15.—Jose Acosta, pitcher, left today for Mobile to re- join the Southern Association team of that city. Adolfo Luque, accompanied by Pedro Dibut, a recruit twirler, is to leave Monday for Orlando, Fla., to oin the Cincinnati Nationals’ training camp. _ Pitcher Emilio Palmero will jeave Monday to join the Columbus American Association team, and the outfielder, John Calvo, also will leave that day to rejoin the Fort Worth Texas League club.

McTighe Threatens Suit. NEWARK, N. J., March 15.—Michael MeTighe, owner of the Newark Inter- national League base ball club, said today that the order of the league's directors that he put up a $25,000 bond was illegal and he threatened to _seek an injunction.

FARRELL IS WINNER; HAGEN SETS RECORD BELLAIR HEIGHTS, Fla, March 15.—Although Johnny Farrell of Quaker Ridge ran away with the west coast open championship herc today, there was plenty of excite- ment for the large gallery, who saw Walter Hagen make one of his famous finishes, breaking the Clearwater course record with a 65 and outdis- tancing the other players, who were bunched at noon and fighting for second place. Farrell finished with 283 and Hagen with 290. His last round beat out Joe Turner of Fairview and Alex Smith of Shenecossett by four stokes. Farrell began to slip a little in the last round but just when it was fig- ured that some one might catch him, he made the short eighth hole in one stroke and with this encouragement held his place securely from all as- saults. Johnny was out with this ace as a help in 36. He finished the round in Hagen covered the first nine holes in 33, but his great stand was made on the last five holes, which he accomplished in sixteen strokes. Alex Smith played brilliant_golf today, registering a 72 and 69. James Ockenden was the better of the Eng- lish pros. He finished in eighth place, eight strokes ahead of Arthur Havers, the British champion, who had a fotal of 306, and tied for tenth place. Havers continued to putt badly, although his golf was much better than that of the first day.

STRONGEST ‘OUTLAW’ CLUB GIVES UP GAME HORNELL, N. Y., March 15.—Hor- rell, rated as the strongest “outlaw” base ball city in the east, has decided to abandon the game because it can find no more opponents to play, it ‘was announced today. Two years ago the team won the independent championship of the United States, having such players as Scott Perry, formerly with the Ath- letics; Harris of the Boston Red Sox, and Herbie Moran, formerly with the Boston Braves. Perry is the only “outlaw” who is left and he is to join a semi-pro team in_Pennsyivania this season. For three years the major leagues battled the Hornell club, threatening to disbar all players who played here. The majors, however, were willing to reinstate the men when they severed their connections here. W. & L.

Tilden, national lawn tennis cham- pion, appeared voluntarily before the executive committee of the United States Lawn Tennis Association to- day to have determined his status under the new player-writer rule. The committee, however, refused to act officially on Tilden's individual case inasmuch as the rule does not go into effect until 1925, but unofficially it advised him that, if in 1925 the mame conditions exist as they do to- day, he would likely be guilty of a violation of the amateur rules. Other high lights in today's meeting include the announcement of the re- ceipt of challenges from Argentina. Austria and Hungary for the Davis cup, and the tentative report of the schedule committee. The international Davis cup com- mittee decided at the termination of the world war that the four “enemy nations,” Germany, Austria, Hungary and Turkey, were ineligible for Davis cup competition until a two-thirds vote of all the competing nations made them eligible. 4 Consequently the United States Lawn Tennis Association, acting in its capacity as the defending nation, cabled the tennis associatiogs of the competing nations, seeking®sanction for the acceptance of these challenges. Unless a favorable vote is received by Monday, the challenge will be officially rejected. , The international committee has ruled that failure to cast a vote is to be considered as a rejection by a nation, Unofficial advices from Melbourne say that the Australian association cabled a negative vote. The executive committee cast its vote at the meeting today, favoring the acceptance of the challenges, and this will be recorded as the official United States vote. ! ADOLFO LUQUE HONORED BY HOME CITY, HAVANA HAVANA, Cuba, March 15—Adolfo Luque, premier base ball twirler of the major leagues in the United States, today was presented with the gold {medal recently voted him by the Havana city council in recognition of his fine pitching last year for the Cincinnati National League team.

This week the Nationals HELP DRAW TENNIS LISTS TOMORROW EW YORK, March 15—A N record-breaking list of twenty-one nations will compete in the 1924 contest for the Davis cup, emblem | of play Capt. Gibson of Wisconsin, of international team tennis supremacy, the United States Lawn Tennis Association announced tonight after the close of entries. The last-minute challenge of Mexico, entering the contest for the first time, increased to twenty the nations which will seek the right to meet the United States, holder of the historic trophy, ship round to be played next September at Philadelphia. record of seventeen challengers was Six challengers are listed in the American zone and fourteen in the European zone, the draws for which will take place at the White House Monday, when President Coolidge will open the proceedings in the presence of diplomats representing practically all of the competing countries. The American zone entrants are headed by Australia, 1923 opponent of the United States in the challenge round, and looked upon as the most formidable rival of America this sea- son. The others are China, Japan, Mexico, Cuba and Canada. The Furopean zone, in which Spain, with the Alonso brothers, and France seem the strongest contenders, also includes Treland, New Zealand, Hol- land, India, Switzerland, South Africa, Rumania, British Isfes, Czecho skfi'akla, Belgium, Denmark and Italy. Is Tribute to Sport. 1f this great International entry, the largest ever received for any similar event other than Olympic games, did not fix the status of Davis cup matches as an international fac- tor in amateur sports, the honor to be accorded the competition when President Coolidge makes the first draw tomorrow at the White House would clinch the position of this in- ternational tournament as exceptional and unique in the annals of amateur sport. When the nation’s Chief Executive steps to the Davis cup he will lift from it, in a-blind draw, the name of the first nation to be entered upon the schedule sheets. No _similar scene has ever been enacted either in connection with the Davis cup or in any other sport event in the past. 1t will be a splendid testimonial to the development of the original plan of Dwight F. Davis, when he donated in 1900 the cup which bears his name. At that time the present assistant Ssecretary of war, the former presi- dent of the U. S. L. T. A. expressed the hope that the Davis cup matches would prove of value in bringing to- gether the players of the various na- tions, and through them disseminate in the champion- The previous set in 1923, which the governmental and diplo- matic corps of these nations have given to the competition. The Davis cup contest has advanced far beyond a mere series of temnis matches. It is today an international factor of no little importance in the spread of harmony, good feeling and real sportsmanship among the na- tions of the world. _AIL this will be attested by the diplomats and envoys who gather at the White House to witness the draw. They will include the Right Hon. Si Esme Howard, ambassador of Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand, Canada, India, Australia, British Isles; Marc Peter. minister of ! Switzerland; Dr. Frantizek Chval. kovsky, minister of Czechoslovakia: Jonkheer Dr. A. C. D. de Graeff, min- ister of the Netherlands; ce A Bibesco, minister of Fum-ma: Mr. Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, minister of China: J. J. Jusserand, ambassador of France; Senor Don Juan Riano y Gayangos, _ambassador _of n; Masanao Hanihara, ambassador of Japan, who have already accepted in- vitations. In addition it is expected that the latest entrants will be represented by Don Gelasio Caetani, ambassador of Italy; M. Constantin Brun, minis- ter of Denmark, and Baron de Car- tier de Marchienne, ambassador of Belgium, and Senor Don Salvador Diego-Gernandez, minister of Mexico. JONES AND HAVERS IN 36-HOLE MATCH ATLANTA, Ga., March 15.—Bobby Jones of Atlanta and Arthur Havers of England, American and British open golf ‘champions, respectively, will contest a 36-hole match here April 6 over Bobbys home links at the East Lake Country Club.

There will be 18-hole rounds, one each be- ing played morning and afternoon. and develop a clearer understanding of the desires, ambitions and ideals of the people of the nations which enter the cup contests. That such has proved to be the case is demon- strated by the steadily growing number of countries which have en- tered their teams and the support While it has not been so desig- nated, the Havers-Jones match vir- tually will be an unofficial world open” golf championship contest, be- cause of the titled participants. Jones has announced he will use the new wood clubs he designed this $pring. ALOYSIUS BEATS PALACE TO TIE UP COURT SERIES T HE District basket ball title issue now is deadlocked.

It was Evans of the Palace five who shone In those first hectic twenty minutes of play. While the rest of his team failed to rner more than one basket, the ;:llce forward dribbled his way through the Aloysius’ defense to pocket three baskets. But hesad a worthy opponent in Byrnes, who cut the cords for & pair of double-deckers in the first half. Aloysius entered the last half fight- ing and the Laundrymen could nmot cope with the determined attack. McNaney opened the drive with & dif- ficult basket from midcourt. From then on it was all Aloysius. Shots were missed by the Laundry- men, while Aloysius slowly Increased its advantage. Speed was a big factor in Aloysius’ victory. Ford cvaded his opponents frequently, for he was fast with the dribble and -dedged with neatnass. a bulwark defensively. It was through his stel) ‘work ‘under Pal- ace’s\goal that kept his team in the van. Evans was the only Palace tosser who really played well.

U. basket ball champion- i wee The veteran rigkt-hander is to get a four-inning workout, according to Manager Harris, and Walter ought to &0 through it in splendid form for he appears to be well-enough condi- tioned to do the stunt right now Johnson reported at the Tampa ca last season in superb p! ical con tion, but some injudicious training here g0 weakened his legs that he was not at his best the greater part of the 1923 campaign. At that, John- son registered seventeen victories against twelve defeats and yielded an average of only about three one-half earned runs a game last son. Now his props apparently are O. K., thanks to some good, stren- uous cro: country work at Hot Springs before reporting here. And Walt recent workouts at Plant field dicate that his hurling arm still is mighty. He has been zipping the ball through at a great rate and with excellent control, too. Not once in h! hard drills has he had ai trouble with his pitching stride, that part of his work that played havoc with him last year. He declares he does not feel any weak- ness in the left knee that broke down so often in the past campaign. Johnson, of course has not indulged in a practice as lengthy as that next Saturday probably will be, but neither he nor trainer Mike Martin fears any “come back” of the old ailment in the four innings against the Carad: Mogridge Due for Duty Soon. Another veteran due to get a thor- ough trial is George Mogridge, south- paw, who set the pace for all of the other National hurlers in 1923. George. is well advanced in his training and probably will be used in one of the firt two engagements next week. He is weighing in the 180s, a goml poundage for him. and seems as hard as nails. Not once has he experi- enced any pain in his left wing this south- have an opportunity to demonstrate whether he still is to be considered big league timber. Zach did not get alonz so well last vear and realizes that he must show something worth while to continue under the main tent and show that something soon, too. He has been progres ing slowly, but seems to have much confidence in his ability to stick. Zachary will be given every chance to make the grade, but it is strictly up to him. Paul Zahniser. right-hander, who madg such a favorable impression after he came to the Nationals from Memphis last summer, is expected to be kept on the mound corps, but is not likely to do anything in com- tetition for a few days. In practice yesterday he stepped on a rolling ball and turned his right ankle. The mishap didn't trouble him until this morning when he limped to the field with a badly swollen foot. First aid was quickly applied by Trainer Martin and the pitcher -ordered to rest. Zahnny. though, may be able to get back into harness the latter part of next week. Roe Leading Rookie Sonthpaws. There has been quite a race among the trin of southpaw recruit pitcher: for a permanent berth with the N. tionals, but right now Shad Roe seems 1o have the edge over Godfrey Brogan and Leo Moon. In the past the left-hander, obtained from Chattanooga last season, has stepped along -with speed. And while his work at Clearwater yesterday was nothing above the ordinarwy he has in the daily drills impressed Manager Harris mest favorably. Teewee Brogan gels quite a bit on the ball and has excellent control, too, buthit is feared an operation he underwent t year has so reduced his stamina that he cannot stand the gaff. Moon is an uncertain_quantity as yet, although Coaches Nick Al- trock and Jack Chesbro are giving him a deal of attention. The other pitchers are coming along in fine shape, especially Allen Russell, the 1923 war horse, and Joe Martina, minor league veteran drawn from lew Orleans of the Southern As: ciation. Russell more than likely will fill the same role he did last year, that of relief hurler, whilo Martina may share that burden with the Baltimorean. Martina is perienced moundsman and p that one important essential of the pitching art—control. Seemingly he is able to get the ball where he wants it, and that is a deal more than many of the National moundsmen could do last season. Fred Marberry is breezing the ball through in good form, but he is troubled with an excess of avoirdupois, and_has raised to three the squad of fat boys now getting extra work under the di- rection of Miguel Martin. Two Others Also Overwelght. The others are Nemo Leiboid, veteran outfielder, and Doc Prothro, former Southern Association player, who being groomed for the third-base job. While the last two mentioned are strug. gling overtime to reduce, their tre: ment is not as severo as the one P scribed for Marberry. In_addition to | road ;work and lengthened fielding drilis Fred has to miss the midday meal, and that's real punishment for the ball player at the training camp. ship here tonight by defeating the Kansas City_Athletic Club,'last year's teholder, 30 to 26. | YANKS LIST EXHIBiTION TO AID MEMORIAL FUND NEW ORLEANS, March 15.—~The New York Americans have added an- other game to-thelr spring training schedule to aid the fund school chil- dren are raising to purchase the hume of Thomas Jefferson for a national shrine.

Rich- bourg’s weak foot seems to be respond- {ing to treatment, though, and so is Gas- non’s crooked arm, but it is likely to be some time before Chick is able to do anything worth while in practice. NEALE WILL ASSIST HENDRICKS OF REDS CINCINNATI, Ohlo, March 15.— Earl Neale, former Red rightfielder, will be with the team this vear as coach, scout and assistant to Man- ager Hendricks, according to an Or- lando, Fla, dispatch tonight.
