BY JOHN B. KELLER. AMPA, Fla., March 27.—With the training grind-at the Nationals’ T Spring base ending tomorrow., Manager Stanley Harris planned to give his world champions plenty of work today. No game being scheduled, morning and afternoon drills were ordered for the Washing- ton Jeaguers, with batting practice consuming most of the time in each drill. Although the Nationals made free use of their war clubs at Clear- water on Wednesday and swung them well yesterday when they de- feated the Buffalo Internationals, 6 to 5, in 11 innings here, Harris_still insists upon the club taking as much batting practice as it can get. Some of the men are very slow in rounding into hitting form and none of them has been especially proficient in meeting the ball squarely and often. The pilot, naturally, is quite anxlous to have all batting lamps we! countered here tomorrow.

He claims to be just about fit physically, but Trainer Mike Martin belleves the pitcher needs at least another week of conditioning before he may be considered ready.

Zlgll. bringing dowr score of palm It wa pper—and coconuts, leaf fans in Sore arm bothered him for a time after his pitching drill yesterday and while Trainer Martin helped the arm to some extent, Gregg had about decided last night not to do any strenuous drilling today. Unlike Johnson, Gregg has not been given to an arduous workout on the day prior to the one he is to toe the slab in a game, but the veteran had intended to toil today, as he wanted 1o hasten his preparations for the vhampionship campaign. But when the arm sorencss developed he re- considered his plans. There were no sore arms on the pitchers that worked for the Na- ionals in the game vesterday, but all of them were not so true in get- ting the ball to the plate. Ruether went through the first five innings and was treated roughly. Ten hits were made off the south- paw, the third round being the only one in which he was not socked by the Bison batters. Ruether offered his usual assort- ment of surves and fast ones, but lacked control of them. He had little on the ball whenever he got it over the plate and the canny Buffalo bat- ters waited until the portsider got the ball to them. Puts Blame on Pitching Box. The former Brooklyn hurler blamed the pitching box for his Ineffective- ness. He claimed the sandy footing made his pitching _stride uncertain nd thereby hampered his delivery That may have been so in his case, but the pitching box did not seem to bother George Mogridge, who worked from the sixth inning through the eighth, and Fred Marberry, who finished the game. Mogridge only gave up one hit, a single in the sixth inning, and fannéd five of the Bisons. Marberry ylelded « single in the eleventh after fing- ing two hitless innings. The Nationals batted against two southpaws and a right-hander and collected 15 blows. Five were regis- tered at the expense of Ernie Profiit, portsider, who pitched the first three frames. Jim Brice was nicked for four in the next four innings, and Ed Lepard, another left-hander, gave up six in his turn on the hill. Griffs to Play Duteh | od. Shee—Marberry.

The Nationals scored first, to Profiit for three runs in the open- ing inning. Harris’' pass, followed by singles by Rice, Goslin and Bluege, did the work. The Bisons knotted the count in the fourth, when they got to Ruether for three doubles and a one- | ibhh(‘ blow. The Nationals went to| the front again in the last half of the | fourth. when Ruel, who had walked | was singled to third by Ruether ana squeezed home by MeNeel But the Bisons got busy again in| the fifth and tied the score once more. | Doubles by Miller and Kelly produced | the tally. The International Leaguers went ahead in the seventh, iwhen Bluege's fumble put Kelly on first base and Peck's error moved the Bison to second. After Mogridge Is- sued a pass that filled the bases, Kelley scored as McAboy was retired. The Nationals did the game-tying stunt in the eighth.

The closer you can get to him and still handle the throw cleanly the better your chances for putting him out You can often save a stride or two on the runner by taking the ball on an angle from the backstop. A young third baseman can’t be expected to handle throws in this fashion with- out considerable practice.
