VETERAN SM()I]THS NATS TEAM PLAY Fluke Homer Gives Barons 1-0 Win—Jones, Marberry Yield But Three Hits. BY JOHN B. KELLER. gleam again this year. Rice may be losing tone, but Joe Judge still is a glittering first baseman, who should be a big factor in whatever suc- cess the Washington club may enjoy this year. On May 25 Judge will be 35 years old, but he’s a mighty spry man on the ball field yet. He still goes and gets ’em with the best of first basemen and though he has not been so strong at bat in the exhibition series any man who has averaged .297 for 13 seasons in the American League and who but once in the past 8 years has fallen be- low the .300 mark may be expected to sock ‘em plenty in the impending cham- plonship campaign. That Judge still carries on after 13| years in big time is somewhat remarka- | ble, for few first sackers last that long in the majors. The length of his career with the Nationals is still more re- markable when it is recalled that only two years ago he was all but counted out of the game because of the unsteadi- ness of his underpinning. But Joe fool- ed the world last year by playing in more games than in any previous year with the Wi outfit. His legs never failed him and now he declares they are in even better trim than at | this stage in the 1928 traning period. Has Trained Gradually. At that, Judge has not been training 80 strenuously this Spring as last. He ‘worked in a gymnasium in Washington during the Winter, took a short course of road work and the baths at Hot Springs and reported at the Tampa camp in pretty good condition to start his preparations for the big business ahead. So there was no need of any extra effort at the Florida base.. Then again Judge had no battle on his hands for the first base berth this time. He had George Sisler to best last Spring, quite an incentive to more arduous toil than usual, As field captain, Judge has done much to smooth the team play of the Nationals this Spring. Although he is flanked by high-class performers in the infield, it has been his great knowl- edge of base ball and his inspiring leadership as much as anything else that has made Washington's first line of defense one of the best seen among the major league clubs that trained in Florida. Judge expects to swing into a good batting stride soon. He attributes his failure to hit in the exhibition games to an improper stance at bat, He is trying to correct this now rather than pay much attention to the timing of his swing. It seems that Judge has this same trouble every Spring. Once he is “set” at the plate he declares the timing of the swing will follow natu. rally. And when it does Washington again will have one of the niftiest first sackers in the major circuits. Got Two Hits Yesterday. Perhaps Judge already is getting re- sults from. his efforts to correct his stance at bat. He got two singles in three trials at the plate yesterday when the Nationals took a 1-to-0 beat- g from the Barons of Birmingham, the first beating they have taken from a minor league outfit and their first shut-out this 8 . 'The only other Nationll to drive the ball to safety during the pastiming was Ossie Bluege. t one single. Bluege also got on the runway once Once Jack Hayes forced Judge to a third out to get on the bese path technically. Not another Naumxl reached the first sack. Bob Hasty, who formerly pitched for the Athletics, and Slim Love, a south- paw, the same Slim Love who used to ‘be on on the Nationals’ pcy roll betore the war, did this nifty pi Birmingham. Hasty hm'dled the flnc six rounds. and successive singles by Bluege and Judge after one was out in the second session constituted the sum total of the damage to his fi Both Hayes and Muddy Ruel tollowed with lofts to the Barons’ left fielder. ‘With two gone in the seventh, Bluege walked and was singled to third by Judge. It was here that Hayes forced out Judge. That was all done to Love's ym:hln ilrom got only three hits also, but nne of them was a homer that never should have been such. Sam Jones hurled the first five frames for the Na- tionals, and not more than a single should have been charged against his , term. For four lnninn he set down the Barons in order and easily of the first two men to face him in the ffth. Then he got two strikes against Scrappy Moore before Scrappy lined the ball to left. Goose Plays It Wrong. Goose Goslin ran to his right for a stop, and the ball took a nice bound, 100, but the Goose essayed to play the ball at his side instead of getting in front of it as it uemed he had plenty of time to do s0. The sphere bounded over the outstretched 'E.WI nl the stoop- ing Goslin and rolled to the fence at the left-fleld corner. Moore had d third before the ball was retrieved, and it was no trouble for him to clatter over the plate. So & :ood single became a run. The next pl.cnnu for Jones, but then came on, to pitch three Ilnm(l- and he gave up two hits and pul. The* started the nnrom' seventh inning and one of the mu their eighth, but in each instance took care of the three hnwafl lollowis ng.

RACEY of Rice Institute has been timed in 9 2-5 seconds, with a slight wind at his back. His trainer still believes he is good for 9 2-5 over this route wlthout a favoring wind. The same belief is. held concerning ‘Percy Wil- liams, the Canadian Olympic cham) on His tramer also is sure that Wil will do 9 2-5 for the hundred be(are 1929 has dipped into past history. The main difficulty comes in ad- split seconds to yards. A fifth of a second at this clip means nearly two yards. Measurements to be mearly true, or timing, must be made in tenths of a second. And even this is difficult work. One sprinter might beat another by a yard and yet both might run in 9 3-5, since one yard would repre- sent less than a fifth of a second. Some sprinter will be timed in 9 2-5 before the year is over in all prob- ability. Whether he will meet all the conditions of timing and judging and wind is another matter. Nurmi and the Mile. 'HERE was a time some years ago L when Nurmi, ‘+odnditions, pressed. fo- the limit, could have run the mile around 4:06. He be- lieved that he might even beat this | mark. But there is small chance now that he will ever equal his own record again of 4:102-5. He has run himself out of some of his stamina or some of his speed, to judge from recent ex- htbmmu Nurmi has been in hard mpetition now at least for 10 years, I'hz old elastic spring or the elastic spring in one’s legs doesn’t last forever, He is still a great distance runner, but I doubt that any one will ever see again .the great Nurmi. of 1924, when he ran nwny with the Paris g:u ht have beaten 4:08 {or t] -t t time, if there had been any imile ‘to run. He had the and the stamina on that occa- sion to beat any\one in the world from the mile to the marathon, inclusive. The Test of Form. Tli‘l test of form is consistency. For example, a ball player hitting in bad form might get three or more hits any one afternoon. But he is never going to lead the league. A golfer with serious faults might shoot a 70. On a certain day there might be a blend of faults that worked out for good results, largely by acci- dent. Such a golfer would never have a chance for & championship. Lack of form, or lack of the right form, would soon eat into his nervous system. Form, after all, is nothing but a mllzry of the fundamentals. To mny means grace and other faney trlnnlnn. It is_possible to look lnkly awkward and still have fine f-'n. lhnln Wmn wis not the most fllycr in the world. mn Ml pllylnl form was al- most fla ‘Why is lt that certain competitors, apparently backed up by good form, never get anywhere?

Two Hard-Luck Records. N the matter of hard-luck pitching episodes two of the records belong to Theodore Br!ltemwn and King Brady, from older days. I saw Breitenstein have a no-hit game at hand, with only one man left in the ninth inning. One more man to retire and a no-hit game was on the record. This last man cracked a low line drive through the box that broke Breitenstein’s ankle, laid him up for two months and practically ended his career. Just before that King Brady pitched a no-hit game |nlnn Ne' Orleans and was beaten, 5 The score doesn't always tell the eomplm story.
