Ev when he faltered o last season. 1 fig ured it was the spirit arm that ws weak. ber Curly tanooga And I'm quite sure he’ll do so Both Ferguson and Ogden have beer on the hill twice this training season, each for three innings at a clip. Alec hurled against the Braves and the Phils, engaging the first named with some success, but serving as a fine target for the latter. Curly made his debut against the Tampa Cubans and was none too good in his first inning, but found the semi-pros easy next two. When he tackled the Phillies at Bradenton he made good headway until knocked down by a terrific drive from Leach’s bat. Look Good In Daily Drills. In their ly drills, however, these fellows hav "iw»n Harris much to enthuse over. ch ha revealed enough in his peculiar e of pitch- ing to lead one to believe he w.ll be & dependable member of the mound staff in the flag fisht. Above all, each is in wonderful physical trim. Ferguson, who came to the Na- last year weighing close to 195 a result of idling on the Yankees' bench most of the season, tips the scales now around 180 pounds, which he says is his normal weight. It probably is, for Ferguson certainly appears hardened. Consequently, the Bloomfield boy is tackling this training business more seriously than in former seasons and with a confidence that even he admits ve ing before. Alec feels that r he will be able to pitch reg- in the form he has at infrequent intervals heretofore revealed. Ogden, when he first came to the Nationals from the Athletics by the ver route, must still have been growing. That's the impression one who saw him then gets when seeing him for the first time this y now a man of powerful physique. Curly is carying no extra poundage. He simply has taken on more muscle and appears fit for the best pitching of his career. If these two hurlers perform up to /the standard Harris thinks they will, the Nationals will have a mound staff that will take a deal of beating, There Is bound to be some high-cla heav- ing done by the veteran group that includes Johnson, Coveleskie, Reuther and Bush. With two more dependable younger men to call upon, Harris ought not to have any slab problem to annoy him. Four Games This Week. Four games, all with big outfits, are scheduled for the als next week. Three of them are to be played on Plant Field in Tampa. The Reds will be met there Monday, the Dodgers on Wednesday, and the Giants on Saturday, Thursday after- noon the American LeaLue champions will go to Clearwater for a return en- ement with Wilbert Robinson’s rooklyn aggregation. A notable occurrence of the week will be the season debut of Walter Johnson, dean of major league pitch- ers, who this year will begin his twentieth campaign under the big tent. Walter is to toe the slab Mon- day against the Reds for a few in- nings, then will wait until next Sat- v for another turn. The big fel- ill face the Giants in the week “And there’s lost faith in his You'll remem- to us from Chat- ed wonderful ball. zain.” Between these games Johnson will get plenty of work in morning drills. Jie is an earnest trainer in these prac- tice sessions, devoting much time to warm-up pitching and hurling to bat- ters in addition to his participation in pep drill and turme around the half mile track. Walter is not worrying at all about the condition of his salary arm, but he is paying particular attention to his underpinning. It was due to his desire to strengthen his legs to a greater extent that he asked for a postponement of his 1926 slab start from this week to next. Next Saturday’s effort probably will be Walter’s last in a game until the American League championiship season’s opening in Washington on April 13. When the Nationals break camp at Tampa on_April 1, the day after they play the Baltimore Orioles, the veteran slabman will head for the Capital City, where he will do his dally dozen at Clark Griffith stadium while his clubmates are barnstorm- ing their way Northward with the Giants. While there has been no official announcement from headquarters, it seems to be settled that Johnson will be _n the hill for the Nationals «» when they face the Athletics in the inaugural battle of the 1926 cam- paign. The Champions are anxious to get the jump on the club that gave them flag the greater part of last season. That means that Bucky Harris will present his most formidable froat for the first fray and undoubtedly ‘Walter Johnson wil be this year, as he has in years past, the best bet of Y the National pitching corps. Many Nights Aboard Sleeper. The itinerary for the Northward barnstorming trip of the Nationals just issued shows that the club will have to spend most of its nights on board its special Pullmans. The Champs will leave Tampa shortly after noon on April 1, and will not rest in a hotel until the night of April 6, when they will be lodged in the Hotel Richmond at Augusta. The pext night they will spend in the Hotel Piedmont at Atlanta. From then on their home will be on the rattler until they reach Washington the morning of April 10. Around his home town of Bloom- field, N. J., Alec Ferguson is almost as famous ‘because of his prowess on the basket ball court as on the base ball diamond. He was a star player with the Bloomfield Catholic Lyceum for several years, then joined the pro- fessional ranks with a club In Newark, N. J. Among those who broke into the ro court ranks with Alec was Nate olman, late coach and star of the well known Holly Majors, with which team Ferguson also played. Alec was rated as _the best center ever to play with a Bloomfield team and was an excellent . pivot pertormer for the Holly Majors.

Blick, presi- dent and general manager of the Convention Hall Co., the Madi- gon Square Garden of Washington chortly will become a reality. He obtained an option on all the Arcade properties, located at Fourteenth street and Park road, and thata new company is being formed to present to Washington an enterprise that will be as near a replica in every par- ticular of the new Madison Square Garden in New York City as it is possible for it to be made. The present structure represents an investment of approximately $1,000,- 000, and it is planned to expend $500,000 more in improvements that will involve the expansion of the present market facilities and enlarge- ment of the vast auditorium so as to accommodate basket ball games, wrestling matches, collegiate meets, boxing bouts if and when legalized, bicycle races, hockey games and every other form of amusemeént that is de- ired by the local public. With ample frontage on both Four- teenth street and Park road, covering an area in excess of 71,500 square feet, in the heart of a bustling com- munity center, ft is announced that the early part of September will see thrown open to patrons of ath- letics in all its indoor forms an amusement center capable of attract- ing and housing the finest attractions in the country. “It is our intention,” says Mr. Blick, “to have the stores and mar- kets now housed in the Arcade prop- erty run as they now stand.” We in- tend, however, to expand the market facilities, add to the billiard interests and remodel and enlarge the audito- rium, with the seats so arranged that every spectator will have an unob- structed view of events being held.” HYATTSVILLE D|AMOND Sliding into_heme plate his leg doubled under him.

Zlflje @bmmg Qtar BOYS CLUB Conducted by g ROBERT C. McCLELLAN BY HARRY GILL, Coach of the Unfversity of Illinois track teams. HE value of track athletics for growing boys has never been more generally appreciated than it is at the present time. Nor has there ever been more encour- agement for boys in this sport, in the way of competition. Interscholastic track meets are held in all parts of the country. The grade schools have their running and jumping competi- tions also, for bays of all ages. Almost any kind of racing is inter- esting, sprint racing especially, be- cause it 13 the fastest and usually the most exciting. Running is popular, ¥ belleve, because it i» a natural and probably the best, all-around exercise known. It is the first vigorous exer- cise of the child after he has learned how to walk. In this and succeeding articles 1 will endeavor to give you some of the more important instructions in sprint- ing: First, on Your Toes. The most_important thing to get is correct sprinting form. In practice get up on your toes and run with a y stride, throwing tho foot well front and pointing the toe ahead. re’s a dtagram showing how the start should be made. Each of the figures has been passed on as ‘‘good form.” Try to start like that. Tomorrow—another article on sprint- ing by Harry Gill. Pitching Control. Pitching control does not neces- sarily mean getting the ball over the plate. though there are lots of pitch- ers who can’t always do that. Good control means getting the ball over the plate, but high and near the in- side on batters who are particularly woak on that sort of ball, or low and wide for batters who can't hit them Jow and wide. Control means getting the ball almost exactly where v want it. So there is need for practiee on your ‘“control board.” Harry Gill has discovered some of the world’s best athletes. The clubd is, indeed, fortunate to have Coach Gill on its . staff of erperts. Sprinters, take special heed. Read every word of it and practice up on what he tells you. The Evening Star Boys Club athletic carnival will be held in the Central High School Btadium March 27, Boy Builders. During tralning season thmugh some light exmllon each morning to give the arms aund legs a stretch and to allow the shoulder and back muscles some play.

A, Rogers, chair- man of the committee in charge of arrangements for the President’s Cup regatta to be held over the Potomac course just off Potomac Park on Sat- urday, September 18. ‘The regatta committee regards the sponsoring of trophies by the Presi- dent of the United States and the Secretary of the Navy as the highest indorsement that power boating could receive and is making every effort to obtain entries in keeping with the quality of the prizes offered. Since the announcement that President Coolidge had authorized the presentation of a $5.000 gold cup to the winner of the principal event a flood of inquirfes has been re- celved here asking for details.

In making the selections for the two sections of the lop, the commit- tee resorted to the age-old method of drawing the names from a hat, with the teams commanding playing fields being taken out first in order to obtain as nearly as possible an even distribution of the five dia- monds avallable at present.

It the decision is approved by the managers, rivalry should result. Cherrydale and Arlington fields are within a few miles of one another, while the Shamrocks and Mohawks, both in the same division, are locatéd in the same section of the city.
