Griffs to Begin Serious Work : Yankee Netmen Win NEARLY FULL AT TAMPA BY TOMORROW| Peck May Linger Longer SQUAD DUE at Hot Springs and Ruel, Unsigned, Is Uncertain—Ruether’s Stand Is Not Causing Any One to Worry.

Heading the list 8f those due is Harold Rucl, onc of the rising fo that he will linger on there for a | o check in from their Winter abodes | ung barristers of St: Louis, but his | ence is made a bit doubtful by the fact that to date he has neglected | little formality of signing a contract, owing to a conflict of ideas between himself and President Clark Griffith as to just how much his | ces in a backstopping capacity similar rce of opinion_ex:| between in and the chief| <tuckholder of the champions, but the Goose has been Instructed to come on and present his case in person. Aside | from this pair the only performer on | the roster still outside the fold is Wal- ter Ruether, and if he intends to show | up ne one knows it, nor seems to care. Ruel Ts Uncertain. | If Ruel should decide to make the| trip he could have the pleasure of the | company of Maurice Archdeacon, for | 1he Mercury-footed flychaser obtained om the Baltimore Orioles wlso i a native of the Mound City. Of all the Nationals, Earl McNeely has the longest trek to punch the time clock, the noted bridegroom hav- ing to cover some 3,000 miles whicl separate his home at Sacramento, Calif,, from Tampa, while the shortest trip falls to John Stewart, the utility infielder, Stuffy being able to motor over from Lake City, in this State of sunshine and realtor: Tex Jeannes, the flychaser obtained last season from the Southern Asso- ciation, reported ahead of time.

Lone Southpaw Pitcher. With Ruether among the missing it may be that the Nationals will have 10 enter the coming campaign with but a single left-hand pitcher on the yoster, and that one a virtually un- 1 rookie—Clarence Thomas. The only other southpaw in the squad is A\rthur Humphrey 20-year-old ®utive of Snow Hil id as his pitching experience has been largely contined to the Charlotte Hall Acad- | emy nine, it would be the height of | optimism to hope that he could prove | of any assistance to the Nationals “his vear, at least. Much is expected | of Thomas, but regardless of whether he makes good, Manager Harris as- rts he will not be worried over any f balance in his slab staff. “We'll have plenty of good right- ders, sa Bucky, “and won't the other kind. I fully expect to prove one of the leading pitchers of the league, now that he is fully satisfied on the score of both calary and place of emplovment, but he will have to travel some to com- pile better record than Johnson.

He demonstrated in leading the league last vear, both in games won and lost, and in percentage of | earned runs ailowed, what he is capa ble of. It's true he faded a bit as the season waned, but he had to work pretty hard, and I'm confident that, given the proper amount of rest be- tween efforts, he again will prove one of the bulwarks of our staff.

He is a bit heavy now, as he usually is in the Spring, but in proper con- dition he ought to prove a big winner for us. Unless I am mistaken, Curley is going to try harder this year than he has in the past. Although no part of a shirker, Curley is like most of the rest of u: in that monotonous drilling is distasteful to him. The for buckling down and really getting in shape to pitch has been impressed on him, however, and the fine spirit he has shown in re- sponding makes him look like a good bet to me. “But Marberry's splendid conditioh probably is the most cheering thing about the bunch we have in camp now.

If the sore- ness had returned it probably would meant that his hurling days ended, for that has been th for a great majority of pitch- who were hurt as he as, but two weeks of work under his ¥red has not felt the slightest twinge in the joint.

Tilden's final margin of victory was by scores of 6—4, §—10, 11--13,.6—1, 6—3 in the fifth and deciding contest of the three-day series. It gave the native forces the verdict by three matches to two after Rene Lacoste, the outstanding star of the invading team, had added to trouncing Vincent Richards, 6—3, 6—1, 6—3, in the day's opening en counter. In the. previous day's matches, America had captured the doubles while Lacoste beat Tilden and Richards vanquished Borotra in the singles. ‘Tilden rushed to the Tth Regiment Armory from a matinee of his Broad way show in order to take the court agairst Borotra. By the time he got through ke barely had enough inter- val to speed back to the theater, but he had given nearly 7,000 fans a thrill as he came back with a savage, re- lentless attack to beat back the “bounding basque,”’ whose own bril- lead in a brace of tensely fought deuce sets. Borotra's scintlllating overhead play and his fearless attack at the net enabled him to offset Tilden's hard driving through the first three sets, but the effort of gaining this advantage apparently robbed the Frenchman of his reserve stamina. His usual dash was gone in the final two sets, and he seemed almost help- ess under Tilden's terrific barrage. Stroke analysis of the Tilden- Borotra match shows how closely the, battle for points was waged. Here is the recapitulation: es. Pl N. Outs. A5y a7 a 7 64 T, R Lacoste Is Brilliant.

His service, though occasfonally brilliant, was unreliable at critical moments, and his general attack suffered a let- down as he hit wildly out of court or stroked into the net. Lacoste was invincible overhead and at the net as well as from back- court, where his drives carried far his opponent’s. He lost his own serv- ice only once, while upsetting his rival's seven times.

She will not even defend her title in the French open champlonship at Paris in June, staking her reputa- tion, title and all upon Whnbledon. The experts all agree that Miss Wills will capture the Duke of Connaught’s gold cup when she meets Senorita de Alvarez, the Spanish champlon, tomor. row. Senorita de Alvarez defeated .

The meet was sluggish at times, but ended with a sparkling race, in which Maryland's four defeated the relay teams of Yale and the University of Richmond over the mile route.
