JNLY THREE GRIFF VETS FIGURED SLAB FIXTURES ‘A1l But Johnson, Covey And Marberry Must Battle For Places on Hill Staff—Thurston, Ogden and Murray Now Attracting Attention. BY DENMAN THOMPSON, Sports Editor, The Star. AMPA, Fla., February 19.—To the uninitiated, picking a pitch ing staff from a big group of candidates might seem to be one of the toughest tasks con- onting the men wha are running a ";n club. But it isn't. We have that on the say-so of Clark Griffith, ®ho has heen a close observer of the ®odus operandi for more than 30 gears, and should know. Consider the situation of th Washington club this Spring, for in- athletes on the ni for positions sably will number | 10 when it thnally is upon. This means that 11 than half of the fingers echeduled to exhibit their wares here, will be farmed out, teaded, sold or regased outright Of the 10 who undoubtediy on hand throughout the e no more than three or n bhe said at this time ared of positions. There er Juhnson, of course, and Stan Coveleskie, veterans hoth. who are bound to D vded as fixtures | unless they fractur limb. a4 Marberry also may safely he vaoted a permanent position, for if he doesn’t assay high enongh for the assignment of starting games, which experiment is said to be in store for him, he still must be rated as one of the greatest relief pitchers the pastime ever produced, and for that rdason can be considered as having a strangle hold on a joh. Thurston Likely Choice. The next most plausible pick for a position is Hollis Thurston, whose at-| tainment of near stardom in Chicago | three veurs . when he accounted | for 20 victories with a last-place club, entitles him to preferment in con- sideration. But after that the field is wide open, and any one of the 1 slingers remaining may be sald to have practically as good a chance as another to win the half-dozen places available. There are s corded an e out rookie class are facing formidable opposition from some of the others who have earned shots show through meritoriods ances in the sticks. Hadley’'s Record Good. Judged on thelr minor league rec- ords alone, “Bump” Hadley, with the 14-7 mark he achieved at RBirming ham, and Horace Lisenhee, whorecord |ed 179 for Memp are the pick of the fleld, while Clayfon van Alstyne's 158 also ix creditable, although it was compiled in the comparatively weaker astern Le igu no pergorm mes won and lost tworthy, howey the strength of the team a pitceh playing with, as well as the « of the circuit must be taken into con sideration.

Weed Themselves Out. “You can’t tell much about these kids when they first show up,” Griff soliloquized today as he watc hed them rounding out their first week of calis thenics. "It takes two weeks at least before you can get a line or them, and then it may not prove accurate, “When the games with the National League Clubs get under way you can find out what is what in short order, though, “The only way to judge of a pitcher's ability is to see him under fire. A man ‘can look like a million dollars when he is just training and then flivver completely when there is some- thing at stake. These games we have arranged will determine in short order who is who. There is no trick in separating the sheep from the goals in a Spring training camp. Put ‘em into action and the boys who are there will dem onstrate it, while the others fall by the wayside. Yeh. It's easy to pick pitch- They just weed themselves out.” Thurston checked in yesterday from Los Angeles, but having been on the train since Sunday he merely watched the boys go through their paces and £ot a good night's sleep before taking his initial workout today. SUZANNE WITH MILLION ONLY FRANCS, GOES HOME BY T. T. TOPPING. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, February 19.— “Well, I've got my million!” exclaimed Suzanne Lenglen facetiously, when on the eve of her departure today for France, after a four-month tour which took her from Maine to Texas and from Oregon to FKlorida. She was asked what she thought of America. 4 Then assuming as serious a mien as possible for “Saucy Suzanne,” she went on: who must he ac- on the others in the advance reckonings, of course Among these will_be found Curley Ogden and George Murtay, who have been cogs in more than one big league machine for more than one season. The experience they gained and the commendable form they displayed with the Griffmen last season also will stand “Admiral” Jones and “Gen.” Crowder in good stead, while the same may he said for Garland Rraxton, who furnished no little as- sistance to the Yankees in their pen- nant-winning effort last vear, when appearing largely in rescue roles, he wound up the season with a record of five victories offset by but one defeat. The aspiration of “Cassus” Burke and “Hooky” Thomas may be con- sidered as favored by the fact that aside from Braxton they are the only southpaws seeking places on a team that properly should embrace at least & couple of portsiders, but they and their fellow flingers in the outand- me ’One of the greatest benefits of my trip has been the improvement in my English,” Mlle.

Purdue may find some bitter medicine at Towa, where the basket shooters have perked up considerably since the start of the season.

In the fourth game Northwestern has its eighth chance to win a Big Ten game, Chicago being the enemy. The Purple has not won a Conference game this season.
