SP PITCHERS LOOSEN ARMS IN WORKOUT Now Are Allowed to Speed| Throws—Marberry Signs. Boss Is Hurt. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. Sports Editor of The Star. AMPA, Fla, March 4—The fa- miliar old sound of bat meeting ball today echoed across the spa- cious field where Manager Wal- ter Johnson is directing the ac- tivities of the Nationals and marked the beginning of the second stage of train- ing for the American League pennant | chase, still a month and a half distant. During the first week of conditioning | the activities of the young batterymen ‘were confined largely to simple exercises designed to loosen their muscles, par- ticularly those of their throwing arms, and so well did they succeed that they were able to make a good job of offer- ing targets for the initial batting drill for the batch of infielders and out- fielders who got on the job this morn- ing. 3 For the first time this year the brand- new dlamond constructed by Ground- keeper Emil Haisman was put in use and it was a tribute to his craftman- ship that it held up well under the 20 and more pairs of spiked shoes that executed lopes, sprints, turns and quick starts and stops on it for close to two TS After the customary period of tossing and bunt-fielding as a means of warm- ing up, the pitchers took the rubber in turns and with the batting cage in position devoted about 10 minutes aplece to hurling base balls aimed at the mitts of the catchers. A great many found their mark, to, as the stick- wielders naturally were handicapped by rusty optics after a Winter of idleness. But the flingers, under strict orders from Trainer Mike Martin, merely were laying 'em in there, with no effort to use deceptive shoots, and s a result the reserve pitchers who were stationed in the outfield got plenty of leg exercise in shagging drives. Marberry Signs. Fred Marberry, who was expected to we the most stubborn of all the Na- | nals to get aligned for service, due to the fact that he had had no com- munication with the club in more than three weeks, crossed everybody up by blowing into camp yesterday and en- rolling after a confab with President Clark Grifith, thus escaping official designation as a hold-out by a matter of & few hours. Following the practice of the Wash- ngton club, no announcement of, the terms agreed known that the figures called for & reduction in the salary he received last year, and it safely may be ‘ventured that he had had to stand for = cut. The important thing. however. is that he signed in time to obtain all the ratory work mapped out for him. h means he should be ready for ‘effective service when the campaign gets undfrr :ny‘. ?e agmars to be in tty fair physical condition. premty capitulation of Marberry left but three Nationals outside the fold—Goose Goslin, Sam Jones and Charley Gooch— the latter's status was altered be the case. Boss in Poor Condition. ‘To the general rule of good condition by the 1929 squad of Griff-q ‘men, the only exception thus far known Boss, juvenile nn;tualmln from Little Rock season. wmm-yur—cld athlete, who came in yesterday from his home at Jonesboro, La. has his left hand, accident a week ago today. bears some ugly wounds received from flying glass and it probably will be some time before he is able to use it. These cuts are deep and painful, but do not represent the full extent of Boss’ disability, for it seems he was num- bered among the victims of influenza this Winter. His was a particularly se- vere attack and in consequence he is ‘woefully run down physically and far under weight. Trainer Martin has taken Nothing has been heard from Catcher Clift Bolton, now a week overdue, but word has been e Paul McCullough to the. effect that his tardiness is due to illness. President Ernest S. Barnard of the American League yesterday paid a sec- ond visit to Griffith, who now is com- &cl!ked to forego golf because of an at- ! of lumbago. Barnard is confident | the race in his circuit will be more | evenly balanced than last year. OKLAHOMA KEEPS‘E:LEAN SLATE IN BIG SIX RACE KANSAS CITY, March 4 (#).—Okla- homa neefled no victory over Missouri Saturday to assure itself the Big Six basket ball title, but the game had all the earmarks of a titular fray. Only by a desperate last half rally did the champions overcome a 24-to-11 half- time disadvantage and win, 36 to 35, to mark up their thirty-first consecutive conference victory in a period of sightly | more than two years. ] 7 Golf’s Vital Plays As Told by Masters THE SECOND SHOT BY TOMMY ARMOUR. HE secret of good iron play is left-hand control, both up and down. The left hand should al- ways be in charge, not only in taking the clubhead back, but down to the very point of impact. Re- member this. Left, left, left. I don’t know of any more brilliant master of the iron than Abe Mitchell, | Abe also rates as one of the greates: drivers in the world. No one plays the shot any better than he. Bobby Cruick- shank is good, too, when he has the ;mlllch. He cuts into the ball beauti- ully. Perhaps the greatest shot of the sort 1 ever saw was the one which won the United States open championship some years ago for Cyril Walker. The tourna- ment was at Oakland Hills, one of the longest courses a title event was ever decided upon. Cyril weighed 122 when the started, and 116 when he holed his last putt. So you can imagine the stress—both mental and physical— under which he was laboring. Bobby Jones was at Cyril's heels. There never was any more than a stroke or =0 difference, and Walker knew x& what he had to do. When that is case it is always more difficult to | ORTS THE 'EVENING THE SPORTLIGHT Y GRANTLAND RICE. The Davis Cup. RANK HUNTER, Johnny Hen- nessy and John Van Ryn. who are now playing in Florida, all believe the next destination of the Davis Cup will be settled by the decision of Rene Lacoste—to play or not to play. There is a big likelihood that Lacoste won't be able to get away from work to give enough time to practice and {)lly. and the three stars mentioned all believe that if Lacoste is missing from the French roll call there will be at least an even chance to lug the trophy back home again. g(.:ochet and ‘Lacoste still carry too many guns to be checked. But Cochet working with Borotra or Brugnon or some one else will be & simpler proposi- tion—not a push-over, but at least a much weaker combination than the famous pair who have been on top for the last two years. From a combination of Tilden, Hunter, Van Ryn, Lott and Hen- nessy the Unifed States can pick a s team, a team capable of putting on hard pressure in both singles and doubles. Even if Tilden . decides not to play, there will be enough strength left to force the French to the limit, if Lacoste is But there is no team around good enough to head off the old pair who are still on top of the tennis peak. They are what Bill Tilden and Bill Johnston used to be—and the two Bills used to be enough, with something to spare. How Cochet and Lacoste at their best would have made out against Tilden and Johnston in their prime is another one of those arguments that never will be settled. The same goes for the two Dohertys, when they were sweeping the courts. One trouble today from the outside is that Cochet is fairly certain of win- ning two matches, and this leaves France with only one victory to pickj up out of three starls. UT of a collection of nearly 30 ball players interviewed in Flor- ida, it was interesting to see how the vote tallied in both leagues. At least 80 per cent of them picked the Cubs to win in the National, with Pirutes, Glants and Cardinals favored in that order. About 50 per cent of them figured Secret of Good Iron Play Is Left-Hand Control, Says Tommy Armour. * ok ok X He Doesnt Know Any More Brilliant Master of This Than Abe Mitchell. play a shot perfectly. Only those who have gone through a national cham- pionship can appreciate the strain. On the last hole, Cyril hit a fine drive | straight down the fairway. He was lefi \ with 190 yards of territory to cover. The shot was over a pond, and there was a stiff head-wind right in his teeth. | Naturally a great gallery was Iallo\vmgi the man who was so close to a cham- ; plonship, and the marshals took quite | a time clearing the fairway before | Walker could take his stance. That only added to the strain. Then Cyril hit the finest shot I ever | saw, all things considered. He used | a No. 1 iron because of the wind. The ball covered the pin all the way. It never varied an inch, and droppec ! 8 feet from the hole with a backspin as | though Walker had a string tied to it. Very coolly Walker holed his putt from that distance. It .meant the dif- | ference between a clean-cut victory for = the championship and a possible tie and play-off with Bobby Jones. The putt was important, too, but the fron was the big one. The psychologica: handicap rested on that. Once it was made the weight was lifted, and sinking the putt was a far easier ich. (Cepyright, 15—1, 8—6 the Yankees had practically finished their pennant raids and were du¢ to flop back into second or third place. The Athletics were favored, thro& a ytn‘\glger team and a better pitching staff. As one oldtime player put it “There are oo many ‘ifs’ connected with the Yankees year. You hear they will win if Pennock is right, if Lazzeri is in condition and i is back, it Ruth has another big year, if the pitching staff doesn't crack again, as it did last Summer, Most of these ‘ifs’ have to work, out before the Yankees can win, T like the Athletics, with a young hustling team that ought to be about ready to go now, hooked onto a fine pitch- ing siaff, one of the best in either leagues. Grove shonld have his great- est year, and there is no beiter pitcher anywhere. He should. be good for 30 games, and that méans a big jump. I also figure the Brewns will be even better and close enough to keep around the top, even if they ean’t win, “The Cubs are almost even money against the field. Hornsby will plug that gap at second and add a lot of hitting strength. Figure a club that has Hornsby, Hack Wilson, Cuyler, Stephenson and Hartnett coming up, backed up with good pitching. Unless McCarthy has two or three stars crip- pled, he should win by five or six gamies, in spite of the strength of Giants, Pi- rates and Cardinals. Joe is a great manager, one of the best that base ball ever had, and he will have his bunch hustling again, as they always have hustled. I'm picking the Cubs to meet the Athletics in the Fall, and most of the oldtime ball players I know figure it the same way.” CONSIDINE -RETAINS INDOOR NET HONORS BALTIMORE, March 4—Triumphing over Elmer Rudy of Baltimore for the second suceessive season, Bob Considine, Washington racketer, yesterday. retained his Maryland State senior indoor sin- gles tennis championship.

Breaking through a set zone five- man defense is a pressing basket ball problem these days. Coach “Fog”" Allen of the University of Kansas, an outstanding figure in this sport, pro- duces teams that do it by means of the cut back. His center, No. 3, in the accompanying play, is one key to his success in this respect. Around him are built several plays. that serve the purpose. In the 18'“ one, as the center lays farthest back on defense, he is far in the lead for his basket when a re- bound is taken by a guard, No. 4, in this case, As No. 4 dribbles No. 3 reverses from the basket and comes leaping back toward midcourt, both forwards, No. 1 and No. 2, passing him down the sidelines, They cut for the basket. No. 4 meantime passes to_the floor guard, No. 5. The latter immediately makes a high, fast pass to No. 3. The latter takes it, reverses imme- diately to throw off his opponent and dribbles to the basket for a shot. Sometimes he can't dribble. When this occurs his play is different. . (Copyright, 1929.)

PETERSBURG, Fla., March 4. — Emile Fuchs, former New York | judge, will sit this Summer on a strange bench, and with him will rest the hopes of the Boston Braves. “The judge” as he is called by every one in hase ball, will find this | open-air court quite different from the ones he knew in New York. He cannot issue a citation for con- | tempt of court against fans disagree- ing with his decisions, and few, if any, of the verdicts returned against his club will be subject to appeal. The head of the Boston forces in the National League is conducting one of the most daring experiments in base ball. He has stepped from the sheltered confines of his executive office to the fleld itself, and although he has not donned a base ball uniform to replace the judicial robe of other days, he is no less the manager. ‘There have been other presidents who were managers, too, but almost with- out exception they were. like Wilbert Robinson of the Brooklyns, former major league players. Manager Fuchs’ best base ball play- ing was done for the Orange Athletic Club. A combination of circumstances, including an injury to his arm and service in the Spanish-American War, thwarted his ambition to make base ball his profession. In seven years’ connection with the Braves he has developed into a close | student of the game as it is played by experts. A part of the time he sat at the feet of a base ball Gamaliel, the immortal Christy Mathewson. Manager to Players. At first glance it would seem im- possible for a club president to lay aside a pen to pick up a bat with any hope of success, but the mild mannered Fuchs with a ready, pleasant smile and sympathy for all mankind, certainly has a chance to get away with it. He has accomplished one-third of his task already by selling himself as a manager to his players. Now he has v;y bgonvlnce the fans and opposition clubs, He will be assisted by of the game, Johnny Evers and Hank Gowdy, co-heroes in the 1914 four- game world series triumph of the Braves over the Athletics, but Presi- dent Puchs is Manager Fuchs just the same. He proposes to give his ideas a thorough trial and if he is wrong he says he will be the first to admit. On the playing field will be found at least two men who know & lot of the game. The diminutive Rabbit Maran- ville, another 1914 Braves’ star who since then has seen the base ball world, and George Sisler, former manager of the St. Louis Browns, will be very active in carrying out the instructions of “the judge.” Gowdy may join the playing forces for 50 games or so. Sisler has rounded into superb form and gives every indication of being the Sisler of old, when he was the Ameri- can League’s leading batter and most valuable player. Gowdy does not seem to have changed in 15 years, Ex-Cubs Look Good. All the five players Boston took from Chicago have shown form in the Spring workouts and promised to help the club. Maguire, a sensa- tional fielder, is established at-second base. Louis Legett will get a chance to do plenty of catching and Percy Jones, Bruce Cunningham and Harry Seibold will fit nicely into the pitching staff. Seibold is not a youngster but has ripened in the minors. Kent Greenfleld, Bob Smith, Edward Brandt and Arthur Delaney are veterans who will again be available. Ben Cantwell and Bill Clarkson, who went from the Giants to the Braves; Henry Wertz, former Brave, George Peery, Wichita recruit and G. V. Leverett, former White Sox, trying to come back to major league base ball, are in for a free for all. The infield will be made ‘up of Sisler, Maguire and Bell on the bases with Maranville and Parrell at short. The fleet Lance Richbourg is the only outfielder sure of his place. Earl Clark and Al Moore may complete the trio, leaving George Harper, Heinie Mueller and Jack Smith to fight for the other places. Pat Collins, ex-Yankee, the veteran Zach Taylor and Dick Smith, the Notre Dame foot ball star who caught for Montreal iast year, may make up the catching staff unless the ancient but nimble Gowdy, takes a hand. The jury will begin its deliberations in about six weeks. WITH THE VALUATION EXAMINERS. Team Standing. w. 29 two stalwarts L 19 2 23 30 Final Value. Original Cos! Working Capi Appreciation .

Manager Stanley Harris plans to split the big squad into two divisions for | practice. The first is to take the field at 11 am., and will work for an hour and a half, after which the second sec- tion will appear. Harris also plans a revision in the handling of pitchers.

NNAPOLIS, March 4.—Six new teams are on the Naval Acade- my foot ball schedule for next Fall, according to the list of 10 playing_dates released by Comdr. Jonas H. Ingram, director of athletics at the Naval Academy. The final game of the season will be against Darmouth and will be played in Philadelphia on November 30. This game replaces the one with Princeton. The Princeton game will be played earlier. ‘The new teams on the Navy schedules besides Dartmouth are: Dennison Col- lege of Ohio; William and Marr: Georgetown University, Wake Fores College, and West Virginia Wesleyan. Delay Is Explained. In giving out the schedule, Comdr. Ingram issued a statement explaining the delay in arranging the Navy schedule and the shifts in the schedulc. ‘The schedule follows: September 28—Dennison College at Annapolis. October 5—William and Mary at Annapolis. October 12—Notre Dame at Balti- more Stadium. October 19—Duke at Anna ; October 26—Princeton at on. November 2 — Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. November 9—Georgetown at An- napolis. November 16—Wake Forest a' Annapolis. November 23.—West Virginix Wesleyan at Annapolis. November 30—Dartmouth at Phil- adelphia. Comdr. Ingram'’s statement follows: “The delay in the announcement «i the Navy's foot ball schedule for 1929 has been ,occasioned by the difficulty in arranging a balanced schedule and by the number of high-class teams th: desire a place on the Navy's schedule. The schedule this year was difficult in the making due to the fact that Prince- ton could not accept our last date. which gave them the difficult test of facing us the week after their Ya! game.
