Against the Braves last Saturday Marberry, who was given a severs slamming, failed to put anything on the ball until pitching to the last man to face him. While Fred has experi- enced no recurrence of the nerv strain that affected his arm the latter part of last season, he seemed to fear to press himself on his training sea. con debut.

All of the old:timers who now fear 1hev are not as far advanced in train- ing as they thought they were at the ovutset of the week are not pitchers. Roger Peckinpaugh, regular short- tielder of the Nationals the past four seasons, was not feeling so sprightly this morning. He had expected to get into flve or six innings of today's game with the Phillies for his first work of the vear under tire.

Myer rolled to the third sacker. The Bison hot corner man threw too late for a forced play on Judge and the second baseman's relay failed to head off Myer at the inftial station. While this was going on Gislin headed for home, only to be turned back by Firet Baseman Kelly's throw to the plate. The Goose appeared trapped for a third out, but Catcher Uzman's heave bounced off the runner's shoulder, and when the ball rolled far to the side Goslin turned to count easily. Myer got three of the: seven hits credited to the Nationals. The club certainly was not in the batting mood that possessed it when it had faced the Bisons before. During the contest Joe Judge was irritated by the heckling of some fans gathered near the press box on the first base line. He threatened to take drastic action, but a police- man dispersed the rowdies and there was no further disturbance. ool st | FAMOUS RACE TRACK T0 BE FREIGHT YARD READVILLE, Mass., March 18 (®). —Readyville’s famous track, a center for “big line” light harne: racing for more than a quarter of a century, has passed into the hands of the New | York, New Ilaven and Hartford Rail- road. ‘The property is to be used to further plans for the development of the New Haven freight yards here.

LASKER IS DEFEATED BY YOUNG CHESSMAN By the Associated Press TTLE, Wash., Arvid V. Johnson, 20, of Seattle, de. feated Dr. Emanuel Lasker, for 27 vears the world's chess champion, in a tournament here last night, in which the master playved 30 men stmultan- eously. The youth said that he had been playing chess for only a vear and that he does not devote more than’ a few hours a day to the game. He is em- ployed at manual labor and studies electrical engineering by mall. Johnson played rapidly against Lasker, forcing him to make two and even three.moves at a time. For three hours the contest con- tinued, differing in no perceptible par- ticular from games that were going on all around. Suddenly Dr. Lasker paused when he reached Johnson's table. His young opponent swept his queen forward, backed by a castle, threaten- ing checkmate. Lasker was compelied to sacrifice his queen for a castle. On the nex round Johnson brought a knight into play. For a moment Lasker studied the situation and then waved his hands in token of defeat.

The teams were named yesterday. and the first game resulted in a 9-to-8 score. The contest turned out to be a slug- ging match between Harry Hellmann, last year's leading hitter in the Ame: ican League, and Heinle Manush, who also has considerable reputation as a swatter.

He has been {il ever since his arrival at the training site, although he struggled through nine innings Tuesday. Brogklyn made two homers in a 10-to-5 rout of the St. Louis Browns yesterday. Urban Shocker of the Yankees served four innings of hitless. ball against the Braves at St. Petersburg and the Yanks won, 2 to 1. Lindstrom, Frisch, Southworth, Kelly, Jackson and Tyson mo'ded a string of hits for the Glants that set back the Athletics at Sarasota, 10 to 4. PHILADELPHIA, Marth 18 (#)— The Phillies' ‘‘Sooners,” Manager Fletcher's second team, was the only Philadelphia ball nine to emerge vic- torious in yesterday’'s practice and these games that in so far as he Is concerned are good for nothing more than conditioning."” McNif a Turn-over Hitter. The dally batting drills have revesl. ed that Jock McNiff, new inflelder with the squad, is a turn-around hit- ter. He came to the club as a port- side swinger and his first day out sald nothing of his ability to swing from the right side. But in drills yesterday and this morning he took batting turns on both sides of the plate and walloped the ball savagely with both «lasses of swings. With thelr line-up revamped yester- Jday, the Bisons got swéet revenge for the 15-to-1 pasting the Nationals hard- «d them last weck at Palmetto. The International Leaguers outplayed ‘he American League champlons in the field. Although both sides were sloppy in their work at times, the Bisons leanly earned two of their runs, while Nationals tallied but once on their merits, Harry Kelley, Ray Joyce and Lefty Thomas did the twirling for the big leaguers, appearing on the hill in the order named for three innings each. Kelley gave up a single in the first round and a pass in the second, but not a Bison reaghed the middle sack while he was siebbing.

Boys Have Tried Everything. Boys, in their desire to be in the swim, have tried everything from plain vaseline, which could not hurt them, to compounds of some kind which they had smuggled out of the medicine chest at home and which had no more to do with the muscles and a sore arm than a cure for the measles. Every boy should know that nature has given him an arm which does not need tinkering with and that the very best ointment for it is the perspiration that rolls from the pores of the skin when the arm is in use in a ball game. Youngsters have been trilled with the idea that they should heat their arms before they start to pitch. They have heard that the big leaguers do it. So they do, but the big leaguers, who have to get a “‘warm up” before they take their place on the pitcher's plate, must do o rauscles that are £ v as well as thelr pion team you will contiuue to be a pitcher of a champion team just so long as you don't fool with anything on your arm and shoulder and pitch with good judgment in your head as well as a good feeling in your arm.

Speaker himself, strenuous as a leader, has found it necessary to cau- tion his players not to overdo their early work.

PITTSBURGH, March 18 (®).— Fresh from a 6-to-3 victory over the San Francisco Seals yesterday in their first real test of the year, the Pitts- burgh Pirates were ready for the sec- ond game of the series today. Aside from Glenn Wright's home run with two men on buse, the pitch- ing of Alvin Crowder, Birmingham recrult, was the outetanding feature of the game. Crowder, in his four innings on the mound against the Pacific Coast League champions, faced but 12 men. He allowed bhut two hits, and two fast double plays wiped out any damage that might have resulted from these safe blows. CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 18 (#). —With two recruits on the mound the Reds overcame a scare from the Win- ter Park Plrates at the Orlando train- ing camp yesterday and finally sub- dued the semi-professionals, 5 to 3.

Red Lucas, who has been working around the lot: in several positions, held the Pirates to two hits and blanked them for the first five rounds. He showed speed and perfect control.
