BY DENMAN THOMPSO! Sports Bditor, The Star. AMPA, Fla, March 4—This is ik inauguration day in Tampa as well as at Washington, for it marks the start of intensified"training for the Nationals, designed to fit them for the strenuous exhibition season which gets under way a week hence against the Giants at Palm Beach. At the outset of this intensified training there still remained three of the players looked upon as regulars unsigned. Roger Peckinpaugh of the 1924 team ‘Warren Ogden and and Dutch Ruether, bought from the Dodgers, have yet to affix their names to National contracts. - However, President Griffith believes they soon will enter the fold regularly, now that Walter Johnson has accepted term: proper line. s and penned his signature on the Johnson signed a two-year contract after conierring with GNff for several hours last night.

A good starter in heavy training was made vesterday, when every one of the 29 active athletes on the scene were put through their paces at Plant Jleld, with a couple extra for good measure in the persons of the clown- ing duo—Nick Altrock and Al Bchacht—but according to Manager Harrts it will seem a mere frolic in comparison with the toil to be exact- ed_today. Taking the initial procedure as a eriterion, there will be but one drill 2 day, but it will be lengthy, starting «t about 9:30 o'clock, and lasting un- 1il well after noon, with the so-called regulars working into the proceedings as the youngsters are finishing up. There will be —some .Ssubsequent changes in alignment for the dally chores, but for the time belng at least the squads will appear as they did vesterday. Then Russel started on the mound for batting practice, fol- Jowed by Mogridge, Brillheart and Martina, the athletes for. whom they Yurnished targets being Matthews, Adams, Carlyle, Tate, Shirley and Margrave. Veterans Get to Work. Harris, Ruel, Rice, Goslin, Judge, Pluege, McNally, Peck, Leibold and NcNeely comprised the second squad ith Kelly, Zachary, Marberry, Dud- McNamara and Schacht occupying the rubber in that order. The usual “pepper games,” as fie g bunts known, ocgupled the performers be- tween turns at bat, and the bat- tery men finished with a jog around the half-mile track inclosing the fleld before vanishing to the shower: For the outfielders plefity of fi chasing was provided, with Altroc and Coveleskle hitting 'em out, Uncle” Nick also batted the around the diamond for the i practices. .In_these Bluege and Nally appeared at third, with th ter subsequently moving ov short, where Adams and Peck also appeared, while Harris did a stretch at second, and both Judge and ley held forth at the fnitial €o far as is known, Brillheart the only member of the club not in good health, but both Tate and Mec- Nally have many pounds ed, while this s true, but in .a lesser degree, of Johnson and Marberry Ruether, Johnson, Ogden and Cove- leskie were excused from service omn the mound for the first day's appear- ance of the full squad, but will be called on to take their turns after a little. more seasoning.

Young Jake Schaefer 'wears the crown by virtue of his victory over the veteran Willle Hoppe, 400 to 173, in eight innings in the closing match of the eleventh in- ternational tournament. It was Hoppe's second defeat by Schaefer in 17 years. Schaefer's record showed five straight victories and no defeats.

The same principle is appli- cable on scholastic, collegiate and all amateur and semi-professional clubs. who did so much to help the Washington club win its first pennant, was a_youngster with a worid of speed. He earned his place because of this. § Walter Johnson’s career is an ex- ample of how much longer a fast-ball pitcher will last than a man of me- dium speed. The reason is that a man who relles on speed doesn’t put such a strain on his arm. There is nothing jorky about his delivery. The mus- tles of the arm do not have to un- dergo so much wear and tear. When & fast-ball pitcher adds a curve and slow ball to his wares he is always hard to beat. Change of pace is what baffles a batsman. If you are set to hit a fast one and the bitcher sends up a “floater,” as play- ers call a slow ball, the chances are you will miss the ball altogether. So to add a curve and slow ball to his fast one. Unless he has unusual speed he will not otherwise get the best results. It is no eaty job for a youngster to learn the actual mechanics of pitch- ing. He must have patlence and per- severence. He will have to go through a lot of drudgery to reach his goal. But if he keeps his eyes and ears open and Is willing to learn and profit by his mistakes, he wlll pick up a surprising amount of valuable infor- mation. Must Study Batters. He must make a careful study of all batters who face him. His job is to learn the batter's points of strength and weakness. If you find a man hits a high fast one once. don’t give him one again. If he doesn't hit such a delivery, keep feeding it to him. In other words, pltch to his weakness not his strength. Too much stress cannot bé laid,on | in the box | bis teammates whatever they 14.

WHAT A PITCHER NEEDS. ET us say the youngster planning to become a pitcher has the ess and courage. Let us take it for granted that he goes through a proper course of training of a pre- liminary nature: He will then have his body built up to the point where he can go ahead and develop his speed and curves. natural ability along pitching lines. them are born. Proper training and the best in a man whether he be a er. But a pitcher to be realiy suc- cessful should have a natural curve, a good slow ball or plenty of speed. learning what batters can and cannot hit. Lack of such knowledge or fall- ure to apply it in a close spot is pretty sure to coast a team a game. A pitcher who deltvers a ball where the batter likes it when the score is close must take the blame for a de- feat if- the hitter drives in the win- ning run or runs. Because a pitcher should know the hitting style of all the batters he may be expected to face, his job doeen’t begin and end when he does his turn He should be a keen ob- server cn the bench and learn from know about the opposing hitters. He has to work with his head as well as his arm. Having control of the ball is quite as Important as knowing the batters. In fact, for a° youngster who really has_the qualities of a pitcher control is the most vital thing for him to ac- quire. He can learn control by throw- ing the ball at a set target, starting with slow balls at short range and gradually increasing the speed and range until the distance is the same between the pitcher’s box and the home plate. Then he can work with a catcher behind the bat and finally practice with a man at bat. The pitcher with good control is the one behind whom a team will play its best defensive game. Control Gives Confidence. When a pitcher has control he has confidence in himself. Without the latter no youngster will go far as a twirlor. A pitcher should feel pretty certain that when the ball Jeaves his hand it is going to fool the batter. Otherwise he doesn’t put all his stuff in his delivery. A young pitcher with a good fast ball to start with and who develops a curve, change of pace and good control will always be hard for any team to bent.

Connie Mack’s schedule today, advices from the Philadelphia Americans’| training camp at Fort Myers, Fla, said. Mack said the last con- tingent of the Athletics to arrive had made such rapid progress’ in. their workouts that he felt they were ready for.a regular base ball game. Mapager Mack indicated that from the present showing of his squad the regulars would include Hauser, Bishop, Galloway and Dykes in the infleld, and Lamar, Simmeons and Miller in the out. field. With Cochrane and Fox added to his catching staff and a number of promising rookle pitchers, Mack be- Heves he has the strongest team fin neyeral years. Manager Fletcher of the Phillies gradually Is working his battery men into condition” at Bradentown, Fla., while awaiting the arrival of the re- mainder of his squad. Fletcher has 1z pitchers {n_camp, but needs more catchers. Henline, the Phillies’ lead- ing catcher, has not vet slgned his contract, and Wilson will ot arrive at the training quarters until tomor- row. Most of the fielders are expect- ed to report within a few days. Hubbell, Oeschger and Lewls, pitch- ers, have not returned their contracts, and Manager Fletcher expressed doubt as to whether the two last named would report at the camp. He saidsald, however, that Hubbell was ex- pected. Tigers Slow te Gather. AUGUSTA, Ga., March 4—Detroit's players have been slow to gather, with the exceptign of the pitchers, and the men who can play an infleld position-are having double work to do the things Coach George McBride demands of them. The pitchers, of which there is an ample supply, are being worked easily, McBride hot al- lowing any’ of ‘them to- grace the mound in_the omnipresent - batting practice. Manager Cobb has not yet taken active charge. Plllette, Sylvester Johnson, Jesse Doyle and Fothergill were the latest arrivals. Cleveland Players Warned. CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 4.—Cir- cular letters forbldding use of Intoxi- cating liquors and requiring players to be in their rooms by midnight have been mafled by the Cleveland base ball elub to all players on its roster. The rules recently adopted at a stock- holders’ meeting will be rigidly en- forced throughout the season, Presi- dent E. §. Barnard said today. The poor showing of the Indlans the past two seasons is believed by Barnard to have been caused by play- ers breaking training rules. The Indians at the Lakeland train- Ing camp had their first workout yos- terday After preliminary warming- up exerclses the batterymen went through two hours of fielding bunts, shagging files &nd running, at the conclusion of which many played 18 holes of golt. White Sox Get Busy. CHICAGO, March 4-—The first of a serles of conditioning practice games was held yesterday at the Chicago White Sox camp at Shreveport, La., despite the fact that Spring workouts were begun there just three days ago. Manager Eddie Collins captained the squad which won, 2 to 1, in a four- inning game against a team led by “Happy Gus" Foreman, Shreveport Ray Dearing, Bonham, Texas, and Leo Mangum, former Notre Dame star, pltched for the winners. Mangum knocked a two-bagger and scored one run. Kenneth Ash, last season with Rocky Mount, W. Va, and Joubert Davenport, southpaw, did mound duty for the losers. . Pitchers Milton Steengafte from Callfornia and Mike Cvengros from Pana, 11l came Into camp yesterday, increasing the squad to 22. Activities In the opening practice at the Chicago Cubs' camp on Cata- lina Island, Calif, brought an epi- demic of sore.muscles and lame backs. Inflelding practice was the vogue.

L. “Pip” Koehler, former Penn State athlete, who has paid his own expenses In order to don a Giant uni. form {n the South, went all the way from Pennsylvania to be crowned king of the orange blossom festival at Sarasota. Jack Bentley pounded out long drives on three occasions only to see Koehler take them on the run. The collegian had been placed in right fleld, where the danged is per- haps less, but convinced the onlook- ers that he could take care of himselt when shots drifted his way. Hal Frisch and Frank Frisch, the unheralded and unsigned brothers with the Gtants, played together around second base in a nine-inning tussle, in which the Orange Blossoms defeated the Manhattans, 11 to 8. Maun, Manners, Greenfield, Neht, Scott and Wisner did what pitching was done, each slde gathering 12 hits. Meanwhile at St. Petersburg the Yankees enthused over the weight of Catcher Steve O'Nelll, salvaged from the Red Sox, and the actions of Babe Ruth.

LOUIS, Mo, March 4.—With the recruit pitchers, besripg . the brunt of the work, yesterday's con- flict of the Whites and the Gray's St. Louls Cardinals tralning camp teams at Stockton, Callt, proved an_in- teresting battle. Bill (Lefty) Hal- lahan and Gliford Puulson, right- hander from Cornell College. twirled five and four innings. respeetively. The little southpaw held such slug- gers as Hornsby, Bottomley, Bell and Freigau hitless, while issulng_only three passes.

The college. twirler, with the exception of & little hesitation about holding & man on first, looked like a big league hurler. Only one pitcher at Tarpon Sprin, Fla, complained during the Brownle workout, similar tp that of the Cardinals.

March 4—Should any dis- agreeble inctdents mark the: Rugby foot ball match which {s to be played Easter Sunday in the Colombes Sta- dium here by teams of England and France, future Rugby relations be: tween the two countries will be threatened. This fact is made krown in advices conveyed to the French Rugby Federation under a ruling by the Rugby body in England. A month ago the Irish Rugby Fed- eration also wrote the French gov- erning body saying that “any renewal of the scenes which marred the Ire- land-French match in_the Celombes Stadfum, January 1, will render im- possible the maintenance of cordial Rugby relations between our two countries.” . The lack of tmpartiality and sport-. ing spirit of the French- Rugby crowds has been the despair of the French sparting writers, who unmer- cifully flayed the spectators for their behavior at the Olympic final between the United States and France, and the match between Ireland: and-France, January 1, to which Ireland.objected.
