Just as they beat and the Reds in late rallies, ges stepped out yeste vy in the ninth inning and pushed over a brace of tallies to take, 7 to 6, the opener of the two-game set here with the Dodgers. Grifis Trail at Start. For five innings, the Washington club was not so hot. During this time it had one good round, but the Brooklyn bunch slammed Big Jim Weave of- ierings all over the lot and greeted Arch Campbell warmly. Then the tables wese turned. Cambell hraced magnificently and the Nationals went on to make their record for the series with big lzaguers in the Grapefruit League read n victories and two defeats ‘Weaver not only had little on the ball, but he also did not know what it was 21l about afield. Apparently he bad no idea where to throw the ball after pick- ing it up and twice this lack of knowl- edge got him into real trouble. Jim was nicked for seven hits and gave up two passes that helped the Dodgers toward four runs off him in the fomr eassions he toiled. The first batter to face Campbell was Babe Herman, and Babe did noth- ing less than start the fifth inning with a homer. a terrific drive to the right center fence. The Dodgers got to Arch for another tally before the inning ended, then he allowed noth- g more than a single an inning in the last four innings. He had better control than in any previous start, an abundance of speed and for the first time showed just what a good curve ball hie possessed. Against the 13 hits the Dodgers amassed the Nationals could muster but 9 and they waited until the last two rounds to get 4 of these, They bunched 3 in the second inning against a young left-hander named Pattison, who is r worker in |y Haves to Judge: Judge b: Moss_(Cronin).

FORT MYERS, Fla, March Lefty Grove, pitching ace for the Ath- letics, will DOt See Service in any of the remaining exhibition games in the South, Manager Mack announced today. A nail on his pilching hand has be- come imbedded in the flesh, and it will be two weeks at least before he will be able to grip the ball properly. Mack {5 not entirely pleased with the condition of the squad, and the pitchers receive commendation. ~There is no telling when Bishop will be in shape, due to his long hold-out, and Boley’s arm shows little improvement. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 27 (®).—Lou Gehrig, who is one reason why the Yankees won the world cham- pionship last year, thinks his team will repeat this season, or at least take the American League pennant. “We have six pitchers this year,” is Lou's argument. “You can count on Hoyt for 20 games and upward. Pen- nock, if his arm is right, which it seems to be, is good for 20 more. Zachary is a sure bet. Besides these we have Pip- gras, Henry Johnson and Rhodes. There are several others, but I'm count- ing on the first six when I say we'll get better pitching this year than any year since we joined the Yanks.” WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, March 27 (#).—Manager Dan Howley's regular pitchers will get the call in the remain- ing exhibition games of the St. Louis Browns, he announced today. Howley by o paying his own expenses at the Dodgers’ training camp at Clearwater, to get 3 runs, but could do nothing in the re- mainder of the four sessions they faced him. Win Ballou let them have 3 hits for 2 runs in the sixth and that was all. ‘They nicked Moss for a useless bingle in the eighth, then reached him for vic- tory. Tate Starts Rally. Benny Tate opened the ninth-inning attack by singling sharply to left. Sam Rice batted for Campbell and drew a walk. Sam Wesi slashed a liner to right that tallied Tate with the tying score and moved Rice to third. West made second, but Rice clung to third as the pitcher heaved out Buddy Myer. Moss, after pitching two wide ones to Spencer Harris, decided to give the batter a free ticket to first; thus filling the bases. Up came Barnes. He went 10 a thrpe-and-two count, then skimmed the ball down the right-field line. Rice's run only was needed to win. Had the Nationals needed two more markers, however, they would have gleaned them from Red's:hit. It was deep enough to send home the three waiting on the paths. ‘There wast much fancy fielding done by the Nationals. They executed five double plays, one of them a corker. Joe Judge sterted it when he picked up a bunt and whipped it to second ahead of a Brooklyn runner, Joe Cronin and Jack Hayes, the latter covering first, completed if, Barnes made a spectac- ular running cajgch of & drive to deepest right center in' the ninth and Goslin sprinted for a great grab of a foul in the opening inning. ‘The Nationals’ squad, now reduced to 25 by the sale of Al Bool, catcher, to Baltimore, and the optioning of Cliff Bolton, another receiver, to New Haven vesterday, may be redquced further this week. It looks as though any deal with the Yankees now is off and Griffith is casting about for offers fcr an out- fielder and a pitcher or two he is pre- pared to lop from the Washington roll, Fighis Last Night By the Associated Press.

Even when a boy peddling papers and putting out gas lights on Vedder street to add a few doilars to the common support of a large fam he was dreaming of the day when h would not have to struggie for his nickels and dimes. His first promotional enterprise was a dance hall at 15 cents each for “gents” and 10 cents for the ladies when 16 years old. It was a success and there were more dollars in the Harmon family treasury. Later came his first roller skating venture and larger dance halls. Then. in 1912, he pioneered in the six-day bicycle racing game, pro- moting the first bike race at Dexter Pavilion with 1,000 customers on passes and 50 paid admissions. Paddy Always Dreaming. All the time Paddy was dreaming of a stadium—a stadium that would surpass anything of its kind in the world. Three years ago the dream began to tal orm, but, as Paddy said, “I was knocked down 20 times after I thought I had eyerything all set.” But each time Paddy got up and to- morrow night the boy from down by the gas house on Vedder street will sez his dream come true. Eight thousand more people than has ever witnessed an indoor fight will pay upward of $300,000 to see Harmon's dream house and Mickey Walker battie for Loughran’s crown.

Three tiers of seats encircle the stadium, and more than 100 feet bo 12 giant trusses, 266 feet lon hing 95 tons, support the roof. ‘The arena itself is 150 feet by 250 feet, and can be used for sports of all seasons.
