INTER HAVEN, W to give t in its batting in the five contests may be materially strengthened, and At that, some of the men are wal- Joping the with a right good Will at present. Joe Judge has taken a 1iking to the offerings of opposing pitchers strong enough to place at the head of the players who may be accounted members of the regular line-up. In the contests last week Joe registered 7 hits in 16 times at bat for a smashing percentage of .438 That's clouting, even though enemy pitchers may not be at top form, for Joe's eves perhaps are not as keen as they ought to be later. The infield has been contributing a sreat deal to the Nationals' attack o far. Oswald Bluege, who past sea- sons has met the ball hard, but with- out any great success, has been get- ting something out of his swings on the Florida fields. In the quintet of engagements with major and min league clubs Ossie went to bat times and banged six hits for even average. Roger Peckinpaugh wicked bat so far, average for the past week being .500. But the Rajah was bat only six times, playing only in the early parts of the ames as he did. ball an too, shakes a Harris Slow in Starting. Manager Harris has been finding the road to a healthy batting mark quite rough. To date he has been at bat 19 times and amassed but 3 safe- ties. But Harris may be expected soon to find the ball in much better siyle and make that present average ©of .157 grow to a big league size. The outfleld has not been walloping the sphere in very good form. Not a yuember of the trio of regular gardeners has broken into the .300 class. Sammy Rice is nearest to it with 7 hits in 24 times at bat for an average of .292. Then comes Earl McNeeiy, who has slammed for .261 with 6 safeties in 23 times up. Goose Goslin has a mark of . having collected 3 bingles in 12 charged trips to the plate. The Goose has been putting con- siderable effort into his swings, but is mot getting hold of the ball in good form. However, a swollen fin- Zer on his right hand has been trou- bling Goslin the past week. When the digit heals he may get better re- sults at the plate, although in other training campaigns he has been somewhat slow in striking his. bat- ting siride. Bennett Tate really deserves the Jead -among the catchers at hitting. Muddy Ruel is credited with the top average—that of .667—but Muddy has been in part of only one game, when he got two blows in three trips to the home plate. Tate in five en- gagements has been charged with 11 times at bat and has recorded 3 hits for an average of .27 Bill Har- grave has a clouting mark of .200, with one hit in five timee at bat. The utllity players have not been So im- pressive at bat, but a couple of the pitchers have broken in as .500 swat- ters. They are Walter Ruether and Jim McNamara, left handers, with records of one hit in two times up. Three Men On Slab Today. Jer Zacha Allan’ Russell -and Fred Marberry were Manager Harrls' pitching choices for this afternoon. The pilot zave these men good workouts last week and figures that Zach Is well advanced in his training how. Marberry, though, needs much more toil, while Russell, although he show- ed to considerable advantage against the Reds at Orlando, can get a deal of benefit from more slabbing under fire Harris did not expect to play in today’s game. The manager has a puffed right hand, the result of a blow received during Saturday’s bat- tle with the Braves, and he did not want to chance injuring the ailing r more serlously. If the pilot remained out of the line-up, Spencer Adams was to be sent to the middle station The Nationals are to motor to St. Petersburgh tomorrow for a return game with the Braves.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 16.—Both Pirate squads were celebrating vie- tories last night in the Corsair train- ing camp at Paso Robles, Calif. In the afterncon the regulars won over and the rookies triumphed over the Seattle first team, 8-1. The second string men journeyed to Santa Maria, Calif., for their contest and were under the direction of Jewel Ens. REDS RELEASE THREE. ORLANDO, Fla.

The reduction leaves the team with 10 pitchers. HOW TO PLAY BASE BALL By Stanley (Bucky) Harris. Second Baseman IL.—Fielding Duties. HE good second baseman is one who works well with his team- This applies particularly to the shortstop because the two mates. players have to team up on 1 smooth infield play unless the shortstop and second baseman are almost equally fast physically and mentally. A fast second sacker is held back by a deliberate, erratic or slow- witted shortstop. The reverse applies, too, of course. Smooth infleld play also calls for the second and first basemen fitting in well together. For instance, the second base- man must have an understanding with his mate on the first corner on playing bunted balls. He should break for the base, just as the pitcher does, uMtil the first baseman tells him he will take care of the play and to stay back. Another case where the second ba man has to work well with his team is when short flies, known by many as Texas Leaguers, are hit to the outfleld. Signals will come in handy here. When You run out after such a ball there is often so much noise that an outfielder can't hear you shout that you will take the ball. - It is wise to have some signs to indi- cate you will take care of the play. A collisien, or, equally bad, a ball allowed to fall untouched, may be avoided by this means. Close games have been lost by failure of the skcond baseman to co- operate wisely with an outfielder and first baseman, perhaps, on just this.sort of a play. One of the hardest plays for a-second baseman to handle is a ball dragged through the infield by a left-hander. You must learn to take the ball while on the dead run, or you will put a man on first. The chance requires accurate handling, for you can't juggle the ball a second and expect to retire a fast man. In addition to needing clean fielding the chance calls for a throw to first be- fore you straighten up. In fact, you will have to practice until you can field the ball and throw to nail the runner in the same motion. You can't drill Yyourself too much in making this play. Here, as in all other playe, you can allow a bit of leeway according to the t@ced of the runner. A youngster does well to teach himself to gauge the run- ning ability of the batter, or man on the bases, as well as the direction in which the batter is most apt to hit the various deliveries of the pitcher. Natu- rally you don’t have to hurry your plays MARANVILLE OF CUBS BREAKS ANKLE BONE CHICAGO. March 16—It was a costly 8-to-7 victory for the Cubs in their game with Los Angeles yester- day. for they lost the services of “Rabbit” Maranville for several months. The shortstop broke the bone in his right ankle when he slid to third base in the eighth inning. He will he lost for a big part of the season. “We couldn’t have been hit in a more vital spot.” sald Manager Kille- fer. “Maranville was one of the main cogs In the machine.” Bddie Collins used 19 White Sox players in winning the game against the Shreveport (La.) Gassers, 8 to 1, and as a result has a good line on the men he will lead this Summer in the American League race. S PENNOCK EIGHTEEN POUNDS LIGHTER NEW YORK, March 16.—Herb Pennock, formerly of the Athletles and Red Sox. has arrived at the Yan- kee camp in St. Petersburg, Fla. 18 pounds under his weight of a vear ago as the result of operations this Winter. Pennock, a left-hander, very neces- ary to the pitching staft of the for- mer world champions, Is said to have failed in_his efforts to obtain more money. He told newspaper men that he would sign today. Babe Ruth still has a chipped fin- ger, Martin Autrey a swollen ankle and Nick Cullop a temporary useless throwing arm. Otherwise the Yan- kees are in excellent condition for the exhibition games this week. Neither the Giants in Sarasota nor in Clearwater produced any news of note yesterday. G. W. SCHEDULES LEHIGH. Racketers of George Washington University have two dates on the ten- nis schedule of Lehigh. On May 8 the Lehigh team plays here, and a week later the Hatchetites travel to Beth- lehem. o SOCCER GAME IS CLOSE. Harlem soccerites scored a 1-to-0 victory over the German-American Clup on the Monument Grounds yes- terday, while the Fort Myer soldier eleven battled the Germans' reserves to a scoreless tie. MANY QUINTS LISTED. CHICAGO, March 16.—Basket ball teams from 18 States will swing into mction here Thursday and Friday in the national Catholic interscholastic tournament. so many plays. There can be no quite as much on a slow man as on the speedy one. When you throw to first on a drag- ged ball when you are coming in and have no chance to straighten up, be sure to allow for the fact that you are in motion. Learn te throw, in such a case, two or three feet to the right of the-first baseman. The ball will carry In with you and prove to be a good peg. Unless you make this allowance the ball will shoot wide of the mark and may even be so bad that the runner will take an extra base on what should have been an out. It is always wise to make this al- lowance when you take a high bound- er or make any other play where you are coming in. Many young players lose sight of the fact that they must allow for the ball to carry in to the first baseman. Here {s another case where you will need plenty of prac- tice. You must learn to break fast on forceouts or double plays. As I have pointed out, a big thing for the young second baseman to learn is to be set for the play and not take the ball on the run. Eliminate, so far as pos- sible, all chances for a slip-up. No one can handle a ball as cleanly while on the run as if he is waiting for it. A quick break coynts for much in getting short fies to the outfield Instinct, as to where the ball is like- 1y te land, is also helpful. Get start- ed as soon as bat and ball meet and g0 at top speed in the direction you have figured the ball is taking. After you are well under way, turn your head to locate the ball. Then camp under it once you have let any other player, or players, nearby know it is your ball. (Tomorrow—Second basemen and the double play.) (Copyright, 1025, by Current News Festures, ne.)

We have the pltching strength, and we have added batting and fielding power. I say we should at least head the second division.” On paver, Bancroft has pitching strength. If he can build up a fair defense there's no telling how high the Braves will go. Although the team as a whole can be rated as a young one, two famous veterans head the list of boxmen—Rube Marquard and Jesse Barnes. With them are Joe Genewich, a sensation two years ago, but rather a disappointment last season; Cooney, a promising left- hander, and Tim McNamara.

He is a hard hitter, and if he shows big league fielding form Bancroft’s troubles will be solved, for Dave himself at shortstop and Bobby Smith or Padgett at third base have siown enough to insure strength on the left wing. Just now i seems certain that Jim Welsh, the Seattle wonder, will be one of the regulars in the outfield, flanked by Bill Cunningham and Bernle Nels, obtained from the Brook- lyn Robins in the trade for Cotton Telrney. .

March 16.—Jack Demp- sey, heavyweight boxing champion, is willing to fight any man in the world at any place, providing conditions are acceptable, according to his manager, Jack Kearns, who arrived in New York yesterday. Kearns carried a letter prepared be- fore he left the Pacific coast, which is designed to answer the New York State commission’s telegram to Dempsey of more than a week ago conveying the challenges of Iarry Wills and Tom Gibbons. Kearns intimated that Wills was pre- ferred as an opponent but called at- tention to happenings of three years ago when Dempsey accepted the same man's challenge.
