March 23—Time alone will tell whether the Na- tionals or the Red Sox got the better of the deal during the past Winter in which the for- mer sent Pitchers Milton Gaston and Horace Lisenbee, Infielders Bob Reeves and Grant Gillis and an outficlder to the latter in exchange for Infielder Buddy Myer. But right now it seems the Washington club got more out of it than did the Boston outfit. The Nationals having no game yes- terday afternoon, your correspondent motored over the 20-odd miles to St Petersburg to see the Red Sox battle with the Braves in an exhibition con- test, and, incidentally, to get the “low down” on the Boston opinion of the trade after the base ball scribes with Manager Bill Carrigan's charges had seen them in action at Bradenton, the Red Sox training base, and other Flor- | ida points, for several weeks. Your correspondent gathered from the con- versation that the trade has given the Red Sox to date nothing more than Reeves and Gaston, and not so much of them, for Myer. It appears that Lisenbee, Bigelow and | Gillis have been afflicted with sore | arms for some time and now are very uncertain plavers. Gaeston seems to be | going about his training with his cus- | tomary Spring vigor, but not flashing any particular brilliancy in his efforts | on the hill under fire. A | Reeves, it is claimed, is making re-| markable stops around third base. but still has to develop throwing accuracy. In attack, Bigelow has hit fairly well | and Reeves has clouted at about the| Tate to be expected of a player who hit for .303 with Washington last year. Lizzy Not in a Game Yet. Lisenbee's arm “has been sore from | the outset of thewtraining campaign. So sore that he has not yet been able | to go to the firing line in an exhibition | tilt. Not until day before yesterday did | e attempt any regular pitching. Then | he toiled for three rounds in a scrub| engagement at the ‘Bradenton base of the Sox, but by no means looked | the Lisenbee of 1927, when he was a sensation with the Nationals. 'Tis said | Lisenbee still has to regain the fast ball | that made him so successful two sea- sons ago, but which he failed to dis- play at any time last season. ‘Bigelow and Gillis, too, have had sore | wings since training camp opened. In fact, Bigelow's throwing arm was in such poor condition that he was sent to Rochester, N. Y., for the treatment by Doc Knight, famed as a “bone-setter among the base ball folk. Bigelow was treated by the Rochestar manipulator for a week, but since the player has returned to the Bradenton camp he has done nothing with the wing. Gillis al- ready is rated last of the four short- stops in the Red Sox squad and prob- ably is not due to stick long in fast company. Yg:r )wrrespondem saw Bigelow and Reeves in the game yesterday. Bigelow went to right field for the first two in- nings. He had but one chance afield, a fiy that did not force him to move from his-tracks. and in one turn at bat Te sent a line drive to the Braves' right fielder. Reeves at third made a flashy stop to his left of the first chance that came his way, failed to get the next one that went to his right, and kicked a third chance, also to his right. It will be re- called that Bob, while play! the Nationals, was considerably troubled by shots to his right. He appeared to advantage at bat, however, the first time up sending a hard drive to right that was held to a single only by Lance Richbourg's speedy fielding. Bob Still Is Erratic. Manager Carrigan has been drilling Reeves at third base from the start of training and plans to keep him there. But it seems that Bob still is charging slow ones too impetuously as he did with Washington, and still is inclined to be extremeiy erractic in his play. Gaston, it will be recalled, looked fine during training last year and was ex- pected to be a pitching mainstay by Bucky Harris, then manager of the Na- | tions, but proved a terrible failure once the championship season was under way. Those at the Red Sox camp say Gaston now looks as good as he ever did_until he gets in an exhibition game, Then it appears his work is too spotty to say that he has acquired all from the conditioning work he should have acquired. In other words, Gaston | still is & rather doubtful asset to the Red Sox. So it appears the Nationals at present are gainers by the trade that sent five men to Boston in exchange for one. Myer now is far advanced in training, is playing a bang-up game at the hot corner for the club, shows plenty speed afield and on the paths and at bat is getting good results from his vicious swings. Not such a_poor deal, it seems, was that made by Presi- dent Clark Griffith last December. The Nationals held a strenuous prac- tice yesterday in preparation for their contests here today and tomorrow with | the Reds. With a record of four vic- tories in six starts against major league foes this Spring. Manager Johnson's charges have developed a fine winning | spirit - and are likely to give their| Cincinnati guests a great tustle. | LOCAL A. A. U. LEADERS | ARE TO MEET MONDAY| H. J.

BY HERBERT W. BARKER. Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, March 23—The boys who pay “the freight” may be expected to view with ill-concealed amusement any future pugilistic encounter be- tween well advertised sluggers. Having understood that Jimmy Mc- Larnin and Ray Miller could hit with the lethal power of a stick of dyna- mite, 21,000 of the fistic faithful trust- fully paid $111,000 to see McLarnin outpoint the blond Chicagoan last night in as dull a 10-round bout as Madisont Square Garden has seen In recent months. Miller, possibly best of the light weight left hook punchers in the busi- ness, stopped McLarnin in a sensational and bloody secrap at Detroit some months ago and despite the fact that McLarnin seems deflnitely to have out- grown the 135-pound division, there was almost unprecedented interest in their return meeting. ‘The crowd came to cheer a slugging bee; they remained to boo a none-too- good boxing exhibition marked by as many clinches as there were in any of the heavyweight eliminations of a year | or so ago. Jimmy and Ray had deveioped such a healthy respect for each other's sock- ing ability that each felt uneasy unless the fighting was at close quarters where a clean punch is next to impossible. For six rounds they waged a safe- and-sane _exhibition that had the capacity house jeering almost con- tinually. Clinch followed clinch. The olzly damage was to the fans' expecta- tions. In the seventh round McLarnin shifted his attack to Miller’s body and then caught the blond with a right to the chin that dazed him. After that it was all clear sailing for McLarnin. He had regained some measure of his usual confidence and he cuffed Miller about the ring until the finish.
