To the merely curious. the Nats' reason for not bringing the veterans along did not seem to “take” at all, but the real fans saw the point and save Manager Harris credit for not possibly sacrificing his team’s chances in the regular season by %vorking his stars before they were ready in these exhibition contests With the signing of Curly Ogden vesterday. all now are in the fold except Al Schacht and he doesn’t count The comedian. it seems, euchered President Griffith out of $300 last ear, which nt he borrowed from the club to purchase his release from New Hav Immediately after the final game of the world Series, When Griff was so elated that he could say “ves” to anything, Al took ad- vantage of his temporary weakness and got left off on paying this sum, This year, the contract offered Schacht, while carrying a salary boost with it was just exactly $300 less than the comedian expected and he has been arguing over the question for weeks. It »oks very much as though Griff has “outsmarted” Al, after all According to Muddy Ruel, who is in charge of the squad left at Tampa, when the tourists get jack there this weelp end he will havé every one of them ready to go the whole route, if necessary. Herold is all puffed up over having somebody to boss and promises to show so mcuh in a managerial way that the clubs seeking new pilots will be falling over themselves in their mad scramble to get him. While President Grifith cannot be gotten to admit that possibly he has made a mistake in booking so many ex- hibition games for the world champions, and Manager Harris naturally will make no comment on the action of the club president, among the players the senti- ment is that more days should have been left for regular practice sessions. nor Whom Few Open Dates Are Left. In the remaining 35 days between now and the opening of the regular season 28 games have been bogked, additional battles having been &‘ud since the Nats arrived here for March 19 and 26, with Indianapolis at Plant ¥ and Buffalo at Tampa, repec- ively. This leaves but seven open dates, on only fogr of which gvill the team be able t take workouts, as two fall on Sundays when the team is at Tympa, and no sessions are held, whileg other comes while the team is lr‘l‘mz from Fort Be ing, Ga., to NoW Orleans. Still anoWher comes between the end of the exhibition set and the opening of the regular sea- son, and it is hardly likely that any work aside from mere limbering up will bo done on this day, s the team will be in New York, ending there with the Giants on April 12, and open- ing the Ban Johnson race with the Yankees on the 14th. Of course, things may turn out all right and Griffith may have the laugh on every one, but, then again, the Jengthy and probably well-paying pre-season series may show him to be “penny wise and pound foolish.” Time alone will tell.

He almed to tire Rusie by making him circle the bases. But he figured with- out Ward, who was coaching at first. The Giants' captain, eyes on the play, stopped Rusie and bore the derision of the fans, for the pitcher might have made third easily on the error. However, Rusie' continued his ef- fectiveness and won the battle, and the next day the jeers for Ward's action had become cheers. _ Askeville, N. C., has two 18-hole golf Rrooklya.

HOW TO PLAY BASE BALL By Stanley (Bucky) Harri CATCHER IV—HOW TO THROW. i) HE catcher hasn't a real hard job when there is a runner only on first basc if his pitch® is experienced. A twirler with a good move is going to prevent the best of base runners taking many libgrties with him. He will hgld the runner pretty close to the bag and so ease the job of his battery mate. Catchers will do well to stfidy the action of a man on first. If they Serv n. train themselves to be careful generally sense when a steal is' self away. ers of how a runner breaks they can Frequently the runner will give him- There is a certain nervous movement of the arms or legs, or hoth, that very often serves as a tip-off. 1f you figure the man on first is set to try to steal, then is the time to call for a pitch out. Such strategy will put you in a position to throw to second and at the same time pre- vent the hit and run if that play. instead of the steal, is in the cards. The actions of the man on first would be identical in either case. He has to get his quick break. Of course, you shouldn't call for a pitch out if the batter has your pitch- er in too much of a hole. If the ? hitter has the bulge on your battery a chance on him hitting If the steal is on he may a half-hearted swing at a high fast one andn you still have a chance to get the man going Mmto second. Such a swing will be made only to bother you. Not much dam- age will be done even if he does con- nect. The rap will probably be only a high fly or foul, in which the steal is broken up anyhow. Catchers do an unwise thing when they call for a pitch out with a man lacking control in the box. An er- ratic twirler is apt to throw the ball into_the grandstand on such a play. In #ny event it will only unsteady him farther. He has trouble enough Jocaing the plate wh¥n he ® really trying to do so. If your pitcher is wild and (he batter has him in the hole never take a chance on calling for a pitch out. The catcher has a more difficult problem with men on first and third than when there is only a runner on first. There is considerable menace fn such a situation. This is particu- Jarly true @ the men on the paths are fast or shrewd base runmers. You must be constantly on the alert. The young catcher will find it Becessary to learn to keep the man-en- mate take the ball take only . third close to the bag. Never let him get too much of a break on you. If you do you are laying yourself open to the successful - working of the squeeze play or to a double steal. Practice watching the third base side of the diamond out of the corner of your eye. After a while you will find yourself able to keep close tabs on 4he runners without missing what is Eoing on elsewhere on the fleld. Practice until you have a good bluft throw to second. . This will.come in mighty handy if- there is a man on third getting ready to come home when his mate goes down to the mid- dle station. You will need lots of practice to perfect the bluff throw. 1t calls for fast shifting of position. Once you get the throw letter perfect you will often be able to trap the runner off third. . Muddy Ruel worked the play in the world series on Young and Frisch, catching the former off third. Use judgment in throwing to second if there are runners on first and third. If the man on first gets too mych of a break and you know him to be fast, don't make the throw all the way throggh to second. Hold the ball or makWa short peg if the man on third is showing signs of being set to.come home. The second baseman can come in for the throw and make a quick re- turn to the plate to nail the runmer sliding in. The catcher not only has to use his head In sizing up. batters, but he has to have accuratgaknowledge of the speed of opporfits on the bases. Study them carefully.

PRESIDENT OF PHILS DEFENDANT IN SUIT PHILADELPHIA, March 10 Thomas E. Murphy of this city has fled a bill in equity in the Common Pleas Court against William F. Baker, president of the Philadelphia Na- tional Base Ball Club, to restrain the defendant by ifjunction from making use of or delivering 632 shares of the club's stock to any one but the plain- tiff. According to the bill, Col. Murphy, together with Lewis C. Rich and Robert Coane, holding the ma- jority of the outstanding stock of the Philadelphia Club, entered into a voting trust agreement, with Mr. Baker as a voting trustee, about September 15, 1924. Pursuant to this agreement Col. Murphy asserts that he deposited his certificate therefor. “Notwithstanding that defendant repeatedly acknowledged and stated that I was the owner of the said 632 shares of stock of said corporation,” said the bill in equity, defendant has recently denied and disavowed such ownership, contending that defendant is the true and lawful owner thereof, by virtue of an alleged gift by me to defendant. No such gift was ever made. The court also is asked to compel Mr. Baker to return the stock to Col. Murphy.

Barred hitherto from participation in the District titular event by reason of the fact that they are not members of a mem- ber club of the District Golf Association, the latter body, at its annual st night at the Racquet Club, agreed to invite the winner and runner-up in the municipal links championship of the District to play in P meeting the District amateur championship. ward and one that will meet with golfers. The resolution proposing that the public links golfers be the chance to take part in the championship was introduced by Dr. J. # McClenahan of the Washington Golf and Country Club In addition to setting dates for the District amateur championship, the District junfor event, and settling on dates for the club tournaments about the city, the association elected Dr. McClenahan president. Robert Stead, jr., of the Chevy Chase Club was elected first vice president and Albert E. Steinem of the Town and Country Club was elected second vice presi- dent. Dr. W. C.

BY JOHN VALON, Catalina Island, Calif., were as sure of their outfield A B. FOSTER. March 10.—If the Chicago Nationals material as they arc of their inficld and their pitchers, they would”start the 1925 season with more confidence that they have at present—provided any team could have more than they have right now. Pre-season confidence is a false alarm, but Chicago reckons upon the good showing the players made last vear, plus what more may result if Alexander is a consistent winner for*the season In 1924, just when they were at their best and it seemed as if would enter the finish of the season going strong and with enough re serve to put them in the first three retired with a brokem bone. The Cubs’ hones put a big load on | Alexander's shoulders, but pitchers with his reputation are compelled to carry burdens. It is the penalty of their greatness. For_the outfield there are Heath- ocote, Statz, Grigsby and “Hack” Mill- er. Possibly they will Tot make up as strong an outfleld as Pittsburgh's, which is unusually excellent on the face of things. But it is about as | Zood as the Cubs will be able to put ! into the line unless they run afoul of some player with more than ordi- nary speed, and they don’t appear to have that kind of Juck awaiting them. Statz Eseapes Statz has been 11l and at one time it was feared he might be coming down with pneumonia. But now he is improving. Statz did not do as weil iny 1924 as he promised to do after he had his season in California, but was not in the best of health, and that had much to do with his upset The Cubs’ outfield should be able to go over the .300 batting top to insure holding the team in the race. Heatheote, Statz and Miller are good but they are not a standard .300 batting outfit. Heathcota is not an assured .300 batters, by a long shot but he is speedy and he gets on first a great deal.
