Walter Johnson Reporis in Fine Feitle : Suzanne Decides to Take Long Rest WINTER IN FLORIDA HELPS ; DEAN OF PITCHING CORPS Nationals’ Star Hurler Eager to Get Into Heavy Training Grind—Hadley, Mercersburg Slab Ace, Gets Trial With Griffs. BY DENMAN Sports Editor. The Star. Following a Sabbath oi well-carned and much-appreciated rest, the juvenile batterymen of the Nationals to- day entered upon their second week of training, facing a program of sessions that are daily expected to grow longer and harder. With the limbering-up process fairly well accomplished for those who have been here for the full preliminary period, an addition to it has been prescribed by Manager Harris, who has instructed Mike Martin to see ters put in a little time on road work for the benefit of This will be in addition to the customary menu of tossing, fielding bunts and the volley ball contests, which have proved so intriguing AMPA, Fla, February 22 T that the youn, their “wind.” to the athletes. It was an augmented squad which trekked over to Plant Field today, v listed having been increased to the point where two makeshift teams could be put on the field if there was any field to put the dozen alre them on. But there is no such thing available and for at least a week longer the performers will have to do thefr drilling on the race track in front of the grandstand, the trainer of the champlons having set next Monday as the earliest date on which the new diamond he is constructing cnan be used. Most notable of the new arrivals is Vialter Perry Johnson, at the age of 38 still one of the greatest pitchers in the game and except for T. Ray- mond Cobb, the dexn of all American League players. Although Barney Tow is entering upon his twentieth season as a national and this Spring training is an old, old story with him, he says he still feels a glow of an- ticipation as the time approaches for another campaign and feels confident he will be able to carry on and do s share toward landing a third straight pennant for the Griffmen. Johnson in Fine Fettle. Johnson has spent the Winter at Daytona, where he was eonnected with a real estate development, and asserts he is ing fine as a result of nuch time spent out of doors. Al though there has been no base ball of any sort on the program, he has done considerable hunting in the last few weeks and declares he seldom has been in better health at reporting time. He came on by himself, but plans to send for his family after he locates a house, something that now is mot as easy to do in Tampa as it used to De. Next in impor! to Walter amons. the arrivals of yesterday is Alex Ferguson, the former Red Sox and Yankee, who was obtained in the thick of the flag scrap last season and who is looked to for firststring service throughout the coming campaign. Ferguson has spent the off season at his home in Bloomfleld, J., and while a bit pale in appearance, is otherwise apparently in good trim, He was “signed” immediately by Harris for service on the volley ball team that Bucky bosses in the dally drills, the manager magnanimously permitting Al Schacht, who leads the opposing outfit, to have Johnson. Casual Inquiries disclosed that Fer- guson is a veteran basket ball per- former, a fact of which Harris was well aware. This probably means that the substantial lead in the mnet game series already attained by Stan's gang will be still further increased. . Another of those to check in vester- day was Herble Young, the Washing- ton lad who has been a familiar figure at the Georgia avenue the past two or three he first established an official connec- tion with the club as bat boy. Young is but 19 years old. yet all the actions of a real ball player, and his boosters are confident he will m name for himself on the some time. On just what job he will concentrate has not been decided, however. He has shown to fine advantage with the *2 o'clock infield” at home, but it is believed that he will accomplish more Af he specializes in pitching. Hadley Gets Trial. The only to ¥ in the new group is a vouns f pitchir propenaities \\d\-r was Irving Hadley when he was born at Lynn, Mass. 31 years ago.

May Not Use Ruether. Little liklihood exists that Ruether will fisure in any Kind of a trade, for while none of the American League clubs seem willing to get him out of the circuit there are good rea- sons for believing that he will not be on the roster of the Nationals this season.

MIAMI, Fla., February 22.—RBight- een aces of the American speedway were here for the start this afternoon of the 300-mile inaugural automobile classic at the Fulford bowl. The race will be the major event on the Miami sport program. A classy fleld of drivers will participate for the Carl G. Fisher trophy. the $30,000 prizes and large amount of added money. Among the entrants are the nine ranking drivers of the Nation, with Peter de Paolo, 1925 champion, head- ing the list, which includes Tommy Milton and Harry Hartz. Bob McDonogh, protege of Tommy Milton, will hold the post position in the race by virtue of his best qualify- ing time of 142.9 miles an hour, which established a world record. Barney Oldfield, veteran racer, will gnal the drivers on their s ound the oval in pre; the start. The other drivers include Dave Lewis, Ralph Hepburn, Leon Duray, Fred Comer, Earl Cooper, Frank “Doc” Elliott, Jerry Wunder- lich, Peter Keyes, Earl Devore, Zeke Meyer, Dr. W. E. Shattuc, Ben Jones, e Adams and Bennett Hill. All machines in the race are Miller Speclals, with the exception of three Duesenberg Specials, driven by Milton, Meyer and Jones. HOT SPRINGS SQUAD IN LIGHT WORKOUT HOT SPRINGS, Ark., February 22. —Because threatening clouds did not empty their contents on this resort, the daily golf and hike of the Nationals vesterday was followed as usual, and there was nothing to break the réutine with the exception that Roger Peck- inpaugh, Rice and Goslin were asked by the captain of a local team of boys to inscribe their names on a new ball the kids had bought for that purpose, which was done. Rice, Goslin and Peckinpaugh had another threesome. Tomorrow night the Nationals probably will see their last ring bout in this city this season, as they anticipate leaving next Friday. LOCAL SOCCER TEAM TO BE PICKED TODAY A team of players to represent the Washington Soccer League in out-of- town contests will be picked today at Washington Barracks fleld, during a match between elevens composed of the star performers of the circuit. The game starts at 2:30 o'clock. Only two matches were played yes- terday in the league, the German- American reserves forfeiting their en- counter with the first team of the German-American Club when unable to muster thelr full strength. The Walfords turned in their eighth consecutive win at the expense of the British Embassy booters, 7 to 0, while the Fort Myer eleven, holder of the runner-up position in the standings, showed the way to Monroe, 4 to 1. MacLean was the heavy scorer for the Walford kickers. He accounted for four of the goals, three of them being registered during the opening half.

HE most inspiring world series hero was Jiggs Donohue, captain and first baseman oi the Chicago White Sox that beat the Cubs for the I have mentioned Donohue in previous chapters, but Donohue deserves a chapter all by himself. As players went at that was a good -fielder, but not a good orld series was the finest ever deliv- As 1 recall him Rohe had the reputation of being the weakest third sacker in the majors, and he must have been, for early the next season spite of the stellar work he did in the Rohe's world series work consist- ed of fine batting and bad throwing. He was valuable for his hitting, but he would probably have cost the White Sox the series by his mad throws had it not been for the super- fielding of Donchue. The first sacker kept Rohe from heing a world series goat and made him a hero. Also, in the same breath, it must be said that Rohe's bad throwing made Donohue a hero, for he caused Donohue to make more spectacular plays than any first baseman ever crowded into a series before or since. Makes Great Throw. was in the final game of the Cubs series that Donohue puiled off what many insist is the best throw ever made by first sacker. It would be difficult to imagine a better play. The Sox were playing under a two-run lead in the.eighth inning. Big Ed Walsh had started the game, but “Doc” White relleved him later on. The Cubs could not hit the left-hand- ed delivery of White and so they started a bunting attack, shoving all their bunts toward third. Rohe had thrown high, wide and wild at every opportunity, and the Cubs expected to win on his bum pegs. Sheckard was on first when Schulte rolled the ball to third. Rohe grabbed the ball and threw high over first. Donohue made a marvelous jump and just managed to stab the ball. He saw Sheckard starting for third; he also saw that third was uncovered, as Rohe had forgotten to go back to the bag after fielding the bunt. Donohue aw another thing. George Davis, shortstop for the Sox, was running Just ahead of Sheckard, trying to beat him t6 third. In the minute fraction of a second he grasped the situation, half-steadied himself and threw. Da- vis was running with his head turned to first for the throw. He wanted to see the ball and be ready as soon as he reached the bag to catch it. Donohue timed the speed of Davis to an inch. He shot the ball just ahead of Davis so that, running as he was, the veteran shortstop ran right into the ball and grabbed it while going at top speed. The ball reached Davis about 10 feet from the 1t he was sent back to the minors in world series of the previous October. much the responsibility, felt that too much was expected of him, and that is the reason many stars have failed to deliver in a world series. There have been many heroes. There were Rusie and Meekin, the crack pitchers of the Giants, who beat the Orioles four games in suc- cession in the Temple Cup series. Later on came Donohue, Rohe, Big Ed Walsh, Nick Altrock, Christy Mathewson. Joe McGinnity, Roger Bresnahan, Mordecai Brown, Ed Reulbach, Johnny Kling, Frank Schulte, Big Jeff Overall, Jimmy Sheckard, Harry Steinfeldt, Babe Adams, Jack Coombs, Eddie Collins, Harry Hooper, Tris Speaker, Olaf Hendricksen, Hank Gowdy, Dick Rtdolph, Babe Ruth, Frankie Frisch, Bill James, “Rabbit” Maran- ville, Buck Herzog, “Goose" Goslin, Jess Barnes, Frank Snyder, Art Nehf, Ross Youngs, George Kelly, Casey Stengel, Herb Pennock, Helnie Groh, Aaron Ward, Joe Dugan, Jim Bagby, Stanley Coveleskie, Steve O'Neill, Jezabel Zachary, Walter Johnson and others, but for consist- ency in performance give me Frankie Frisch and for inspired play I'll pick Jiggs Donohue. (Copy: 192 The em’nu tat BOYS CLUB Conducted by ROBERT C. McCLELLAN This is the story of Babe Ruth’s boyhood, written by the man who discovered him and tipped Jack Dunn, crafty manager of the Bal- timore Oriotes, to the greatest in- dividual star base ball has known. The man is Brother Gilbert, an instructor and athletic coach in Catholic boys’ schools. BY BROTHER GILBERT, Man Who Discovered Babe Ruth. NE Summer's day in 1913 I sat in the bandstand at St. Mary’s School, Baltimore, and saw Babe Ruth for the first time. He hit three home runs. I be- lieve that was the discovery of Babe Ruth. But I'm going to start a little further back in telling my story to you lads of The Evening Sta® Boys Club. I was living at Mount St. Joseph's School in Baltimore then, and was coach of the atheltic teams. I help- ed the boys edit their school maga- zine, and often went over to St. Mary's School, where the printing s done. The boys of St. Mary's were much interested in base ball They named thelr teams after the big leaguers—the Athletics, Red Sox, White Sox, Glants, etc. After I had performed my bandstand and watched never wus playing when I was around. T was watching a shortstop, Tke Rusie, who I thought was a sure big leaguer. He had a great pair of hands, went to either side with an easy grace, threw from any position, had a strong arm and an accurate peg. fiu: was fleet on the base lines, could take a bl elad off any base, and when he decided to steal he had full speed on his first stride. But he didn’t hit. He had too much body action at the plate. He continually shifted his feet, had the bat out in front when the pitch was coming— always off his stride. I thought his faults might be remedied, and I came back the next Sunday to talk to him acbut them—when I saw Babe Ruth.

PALM BEACH, Fla., February 22 (P)—Veteran yachtsmen here at- tending the Palm Beach regatta be- live the Smiling Dan III, owned by Richard Loynes of Long Beach, Calif., is certain to win the Poinciana trophy by dint of one victory Sat- urday and two yesterday in the heats for the 151 class hydroplanes. This race calls for five heats, with the winner determined on_points. The fifth heat will be run late today. With the Bowlers N bowling, as in any other sport, I topnotcher as the star will have his off day. And the average fan gets just as much kick from a poor exhibition by 2 he does from a good show. Perhaps that's the reason for the following that was written by one of the hottest duckpin fans of the District of Columbia : “It is belleved that Glenn Wolsten- holme's action in shooting two 79 games in the Masonic tournament saved a number of lives among the bowlers of the city. The rank and file of duckpin shooters were becom- ing depressed and gloomy over the 120 averages being registered by Glenn, Earl McPhilomy and other stellar bowlers, and it is a question whether the strain would not have bag and an instant later Sheckard crashed into Davis: but the flelder had tightened his grip on the ball as soon as he caught it and tagged Sheckard as the runner hit him. Davis was tossed into the air and fell in a heap, but did not lose the ball. They thought he was hurt, but be- fore any one could reach him he stag- gered to his feet and continued through the ninth. The play saved the day for Chicago. Rohe, as I have observed, helped faake Donohue a brilliant star in that series. A few times Donohue almost broke his neck going into the air or diving after Rohe’s wild throws. At the close of the last game Donohue rushed across the diamond and threw his glove in Rohe's face. Never again did Donohue reach to the level of play he showed in that serles. He had never been that good before. He was a good player who became @ great player when the supreme test arrived. Some great players are not even good players in a big serles. Ty Cobb is unquestionably the greatest player of all time. Cobb was in three world serles, but he was regarded as a failure In each one. The only time that Cobb really did anything out of the ordinary was in the world series of 1809, De- troit against Pittsburgh, the third in which he participated. In the sec- ond game of that series he stole home while Vic Willls, pitching for Pitts- burgh, held the ball. It was a clean steal, and it was his only unsual play in three years of world series competition, Prpbably. Cobb felt too been too much if continued, resulting in suicldes among discouraged bowl- ers. “Pigure it out for yourself. It is about on a par with the situation which would face the average golfer 1f he had to shoot daily over the same course with Bobby Jones. It pleases the average duckpin shooter im- mensely to learn that the 120 men really are human at times. It was an act of charity on Glenn's part, whether deliberate or not. “It's old stuff now, but the bowlis enthusiast who missed the fii match can have no clear idea of the sheer courage Wolstenholme exhibit- ed in his contest with Perce Ellett and Max Rosenberg. The brilllant effort made by the last-named to overcome an almost insuperable han- dicap rather overshadowed Glenn's work, but not in the eyes of those who saw the final game. “There is a whale of a difference between running second and putting on a desperate burst of speed to over- come the leader and being that leader holding the lead by half an inch with a hungry wolf snapping at your fly- ing coattail. “Apparently Glenn actually had to overcome both obstacles in order to win, for Rosenberg's seven successive marks in the final game seemed to carry him a little beyond Wolsten- holme, who was slightly off form, while Max was hitting on all ‘ten.” “Yet when defeat actually faced him, Wolstenholme, with an exhibi- tion of sheer courage that will not be surpassed and matched % ceeded to register & strike and four spares in succession to pull up even again. “And that final box. After Rosen- berg had bowled, needing eight to tle and nine to win, proceeded to split the bunch with his first shot, taking two pins out of the center. And then that great bowler with the llon's heart went ahead In the most matter of fact manner and toppled not six or seven but the entire elght remaining pins with his next two shots. Wow!"” All of which ought to make Glenn feel mighty proud. But this business of overcoming leads seems to be habitual with Wolstenholme in im- portant events. He did almost such a stunt last Saturday in the first five- game block of his big match with Earl McPhilomy. At the start of the seventh box of the fifth game Glenn was trailing by a number of pins. Then he stepped on the gas and came through in splendid style to head his opponent by 14 pins at the finish. In these matches that really mean some- thing, Wolstenholme is a bowler who does not know when he is defeated. Classification of bowlers will be dis- cussed when delegates of the fem- inine leagues attend the meeting of the Washington Ladies’ Duckpin Assoclation at The Star Friday night. In past annual tournaments the en- trants have been divided into two groups, according to league averages, Qut this year there probably will be three groups. League secretaries are ed to present reports of the capabilities of their bowlers that the association officers may know how to arrange the classes for the champion- ship events this year. Glenn Wolstenholme and Earl Mc- Philomy will bowl the second five- game block of their 15-game match Wednesday at King Pin. The follow- ing day the alleys at Fourteenth and Monroe streets probably will be open- ed to the publio for the first time sinco they were damaged by fire. FRENCH UNDECIDED AS TO CUP TENNIS By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 22.—Final decision In respect to France’'s partic- ipation in Davis cup tennis play this Summer may hinge upon the result of the international team matches to be played in_the 7th Regiment Arm- ory Thursday} Friday and Saturday. The entry list closes the middle of March. Switzerland, Great Britain, Poland, Portugal, Argentina and Italy have already entered. Australia’s de- cision is expected at a meeting soon. Jean Borotra, conquerer of Willlam T. Tilden in the national Indoor championships last week, apparently belleves that France will decide to contest. Asked if France would de- feat the United States this vear, he said: “It 1s foolish to think so. Tilden and Vincent Richards will be at their best for the Davis Cup play, in his opinion, and it will be a little too much for the Frenchmen, especially as they are unaccustomed to the heat of an American August. Borotra said that both Americans were off stroke when he and Rene LaCoste ousted them from the in- door nationals and that they would not be caught that way in the inter- national team matches this week or in the Davis Cup tournament. “Wait until the _international matches, then we'll take a licking," | he said. Borotra and LaCoste were final- ists In the national indoor tourna- ment today. Borotra won the title last year. SKATER TRIPLE WINNER.

Miss Applebee is receiving subscrip- tions for the fund at her home ad- dress, Wyndon avenue, Bryn Mawr, Pa. Thursday night, the National Ama- teur Athletic Federation dinner will bring together all local leaders in physical education at the Cosmos Club, to hear Dr. Thomas D.

She may be reached through the Associatlon for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, locat- ed at 1022 Eleventh street, northwest. Dinner will be served at 7 o'clock. Maryland University sharpshooters shot two telegraphic matches last week, one with Pennsylvania State College and the other with the Uni- versity of West Virginia. While the results of their opponents’ shooting are not known yet, it is not probable that they bettered the high scores registered by the College Parkers. Shooting 10 stages in prone and standing position, with five high scores counting, the Marylanders reg- istered 498 in the Penn State event and 497 in the West Virginia match. Three possibles were scored in the former contest by Alma Essex, Vir- ginla Louise Behring and Elizabeth Amos. Thelma Winkjer registered 99 and Helen Beyerly, 99. Total, 498. The scores against West Virginia were: Helen Beyerly, 100; Margaret wllcll:_e"‘ 100: Al!lna Essex, 83; Thelma inkjer Clemenc s Total 4 1a Gause, 99.
