sP Harris Seeks More ORTS.' GANZEL AND KLOZA, RIGHT HAND HITTERS, DUE TRIAL Griffmen A pp(';:—F 6 to 5, to Cincinnati Reds Yesterda ar From Impressive in Losing, | Ar Burke Yielding Damaging Homers. BY JOHN B. KELLER. AMPA. Fla. March 17.—With a record of one win, A scoreless tie and three defeats in the ex- hibition series thus far, the Na- tionals are sorely in need more right-hand hitting strength, Man- Ager Stanley Harris belleves. And this meant that Foster, Qanrel and Jack Kloza, the most likely-looking of the atarboard swingers who have had little 10 do in the Spring contests with the National League outfits to date, are to get plenty of opportunity from now on 16 show their batting wares. The pilot i& plainly concerned about the lack of power in the Nationals' of- fensive, and before he is through with efforts to improve it quite likely all available material will be brought into use, The Nationals have been getting hits—they outbatted the Reds here yes- terday, ten safetiés to seven, yet took a 8-t0-5 licking—but not when hits mean runs. A better balance in the batting order plainly is needed and Bucky has an idea another right-hand hitter or two might turn the trick. Thorough Test for Ganzel. While much attention will be given loza, who came up from the South- eastern circuit with an impressive bu: r 2 of 391, more will be pai Ieague caliber at present than the minor Joop slugger. It was thought Ganzel was a trifie too slow ta make a reguler outfield berth with the club. but his hitting during his brief term with the Nationals last Fall. when in a dozen zames he socked the ball soundly enough to bscome the nominal leader of the American Leagué for the season. de- manded more careful consideration of ssibilities. h‘z‘yf‘x’;z?}bfiafi been sent into two of the three games piayed this week up to today and aithough he has not set the world afire with his flalling he has| made it known that he probably could fisld well enough to warrant a thorough big league trial.

And it did not work out so well. Old Tom Zachary, perhaps, turned 4n the best effort of the left-handers fn his term, the first three innings of the game.

Now we kriow all about this business of smacking a golf ball far and true down the alley. And we also know the answer to the much mooted ques- tion of who Is the longest hitter around the Capital. at Congressional, during & fanning to find it rides up and down the street car line on his day oft, these golfers didn't play bridge or Kelly pool or any of the other things they might have done on a wet afternoon. ‘They sat around talking golf and swings and the queer things about the game and why Tommy Ar- mour i the champlon, and why the wrist functions in the golf swing, and how soon the ball is to be standardized, and even of cabbages and kings—in so far_as they relate to golf. Out of all the conversation came the, conclusion that Bob Jones and Jesseé | Guilford are not the longest hitters in the ranks of amateur goifers. Not by a niblick shot. The longest hitter, ac- cording to at least a majority of those who gathered in the warmth and com- fort of the Congressional locker room 18 & Ind who spent part of his boyhood in the great open spaces of Alaska— Henry G ay vis, “Dixie” for short and to his best friends; a nephew of former Seénator Davis Elkins and a Iad horn to the purple—in a manner of speaking, referring to those with a plenitude of this world's goods.

Instead he took & spoon and planted a high one that carried to the back edge of the n and bounded merrily on down fl-\?llnpt toward the second green. His opponent won the hole, by the way, with a conservative 4, for “Dixie" couldn't seem to drive his golf ball through the oak trees behind the green. “Hard wood" they call it at Washing- ton, and it does seem difficult to knock & golf ball through the trunk of an oAk tree. ‘Then Barnett, who is red-headed and likes arguments, started another one with the statement that he thinks Abe Mitchell is consistently the longest hit- ter in the game. Perhaps he ix. but Mitchell's twin starts around Washe ington have been quite disappointing. His first, against Leo Diegel, back in 1920, resulted in a sound trouncing by Diegel, and his second, in the 1921 open, was also disappointing, for Mitchell found the heat or something too much for him and picked up his ball on the third round. But it was hot that day and Mitchell's game wasn't as hot as the day. The argument was almost as torrid as & day in August when John Gilmore warmed to his pet theory that Tommy Armour is one of the longest hitters in the game, and to prove it Gllmore re- | lated how he played (and paid) with ‘Tommy the day the open champ socked [y roufle to the middle of the green on the 850-yard first hole at Congressional and ran down the putt for the eagle 3.

BY C. C. McFARLAND. Amsociated Press Sports Writer, AN FRANCISCO, March 17.—The Pittsburgh Pirates, winners in the National League Pennant chase llnb.yel 1l enter the 1928 e ce with A stronger team 11 !;:;.r the one which captured the flag in The Pirates left their Bpring train- lnf camp, at Robles, Calif., & team estimated to be 20 per cent stronger than in the 1927 ugrennnn. Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the team, has ex- nded a considerable sum of money or new players as reserve strength. Strong plbchlnf may be expected to keep lelmxl(‘h in the front ranks of the National League. Ray Kremer, and the two bespectacled hurlers, Carmen Hill and 1ee Meadows, the most effec tive twirlers in the majors last year, will be on the mound. Manager Donie Bush said he believed Kremer ripe for another sensational year like 1926, when he won 20 victories and lost six games. Meadows, in the big leagues since 1914, still showed his old cunning at the Spring training camp. He and Hill proved largely instrumental in win- ning important games last year, and they are expected to repeat. Grimes Appears Set. Burleigh Grimes appears set for a good season on the mound. Dawson and Miljus, who came to the team in the middle of the 1927 season, are now counted as regulars. New pitchers include Fred Fussell, from Wichita Falls in the Texas League, [} {and Ervin Brame, from Jersey City in the International League. Fussell, a southpaw, showed a world of stuff and perfect control in training. The catching roster of the Pirates is | the same as last year, with the excep- tion of Roy Spencer, who is from the American Association. Earl Smith and Johnny Gooch, who | formed the working end of the staft |last year, will again do most of the | backstopping. Smith and Gooch, al- | though aging, are dependable catchers, | good hitters and have plenty of ex- perience. Claude Linton of Columbia, | 8. C.. and Ralston Hemsley, who played !in the Blue Ridge League last year, | will get their chances to perform be- hind the plate. Pete Scott, who came to the Pirates as part payment in the deal that sent Hazen Cuyler to the Chicago Cubs. has done some catching and may do relief work. The Pirates seem certain of having | one of the youngest and ablest outfield | trios in base ball.

Adams is an expert bunter and fast on the bases. “Pie" Traynor, star third baseman, is in good shape and is expected to be an outstanding asset to the Pirates. Grantham will be enabled to return to his original position at first base be- cause of Adams’ presance on the squad. Grantham is expected to show improve ment, as he is much more at home at first base. It appears that the other clubs in the National League will have to make & real fight to keep the Pirates out of firs? place.
