KELLER. ILOXI, Miss, February 27— This was Mike Martin day in Biloxi and the veteran trainer of the Nationals made the most of it. There's nothing Mike likes more than to make his charges groan and moan, and this he did this morn- ing, when a flock of Washington base ball players was sent through the first workout at their new training camp. ‘Thirteen players, nine of them pitch- ers, participated in the initial drill of the year on the spacious base ball field here and not one had been at work any great length of time before he was ready to call it a day. always found just a little more for each of the faltering ones to essay. course, nothing really strenuous was -tumptedi tl}; wlla as m:lii a l’:rk;l,lt as any o players will get during the training regime. to discover how many kinks they had developed in their muscles. Irving Hadley and Paul Daugert, pitchers, withstood the tedious journey from Washington to this Mississippi town well, but there was no pleasure in the trip for Don Savidge, rookle hurler, and Gordon Phelps and Neison Jester, kid receivers lately picked up by the club. Savidge is rather hefty these days while Phelps is gomething of a Young elephant, and the stuffy train was none too pleasant for them. Jester early developed a severe case of homesickness and still has it. Jones Joins En Route. When the train reached Montgomery, Ala., at noon yesterday the squad that toured from Washington was joined by Sam Jones, who looks in the best of health. Sam had journeyed from his ‘Woodsfield, Ohio, home. Awaiting the boys at Biloxi were Fred Marberry, Carlos Moore, Lloyd Brown, Myles Thomas, Ad Liska and Bob Burke, pitchers, and Muddy Ruel, catcher. Herbert Pyle, another pitcher, was expected to check in today. ‘Whether Benny Tate and Roy Spen- cer, recalcitrant catchers, will be here soon is not known. President Clark Griffith has had no word from either lately since stating the salaries the Washington club was prepared to pay them. The catchers evidently do not care for the terms offered, but Griffith declares they'll have to like them or stand suspended and risk the chance of incurring a fine. It develons that every one here is signed to a contract. Ed Gharrity, who had been reported as holding out is in good standing with his club. Ed says he received a contract some time ago at his Beloit Wis., home, chucked it into a desk drawer, then, because of business pressure, practically forgot about the paper. ~None was more sur- prised than he when he read he was considered a hold-out. Ed says he then lost no time in resurrecting the contract, signing on the dotted line and forwarding the paper to Griffith. Gharrity, by the way, has signed a player's contract, although more than likely he soon will be transferred to a coach’s status. It will be recalled that for a time last season Gharrity worked under a player's agreement, then was switched to another standing. Gharrity, with Nick Altrock and Al Schacht, had plenty to do today. They were on their toes all the time carry- ing out the orders of Manager Walter Johnson in handling the mixture of veterans and rookies. Even the vets have to be watched in the early days of the conditioning campaign. They are about as eager as the youngsters to get the old wings in working order quickly and have to be restrained. Few Rules Are Made. Few rules have been made by Mana- ger Johnson for the training camp. He expects to have but one gession a day anc probably will not begin it particu- larly early. As to hours to be kept by the athletes, it will be virtually up to them. Johnson expects his charges to use good judgment in this respect. They can golf while in training, too. But once the season is under way therell be no golf for the Nationals without danger of punishment. In fact the contracts signed by the men this year absolutely prohibit the play- ing of the ancient Scottish game dur- ing the championship campaign in the American League. And the inclusion of such a clause in the contracts of the entire club personnel is_believed something new in base ball. It's there in the Nationals' papers, though, and Griffith says the fellows will have to live up to it, once the bell rings in April. SCHOLASTIC SPORTS | " PROGRAM THIS WEEK Basket Ball. TODAY.

This is one of a series of 16 stories a:d tP,l: t)‘muplectl for the American a ational League races written by the leaders of the rival clubs. BY JEWEL ENS, Manager Pittsburgh Pirates. T am exceedingly optimistic over the | chances of the Pittsburgh club for 1930 for several definite reasons. The Pirates of last year formed very strong combination. In fact, believe that we would have won the pennant had it not been for a long al 1! and accidents in- of our team. ‘We went into first place the latter part of May and remained there un- til early in August, when we dropped into second place and finished there. Considering our hospital list over that period, it is remarkable that we stayed up there. Xysmctgel)' believe the Pirates of 1930 are going to be & mighty agreeabie sur- prise. I feel that our team has been materially strengthened over last year, and it is beyond reason to fear that the injuries of last year will repeat. Our club has a new first baseman in Gus Suhr, purchased from San Fran- cisco. We have been watching this player for several years and feel con- fident he will early become one of the stars of the National League. Suhrisa powerful batsman, never has finished a season with an average less than .300. He is a consistent extra-base hitter, as witness his record of last year—202 games, batted in 477 runs, besides scor- ing 196 himself; 51 home runs, 6 triples and 62 doubles, for an average of .381. He was picked by coast sporting writers, without one dissenting vote, the best | first baseman of the coast all-star team. | Grantham in Condition. George Grantham, who was out half of last season with injuries, has been | taking intensive treatment all Winter | and reports that ke is in the best con- dition of his career. There is not any- thing in base ball he cannot do when | he is in shape physically. Jewel Ens. His presence | in the line-up for the entire season should prove a tower of strength and fill a vital spot where we were weak | last season after he left the line-up because of injuries. | We have four candidates for short- | stop, two of whom we know could go for | most major league clubs, Dick Bartell | and Stuart Clarke. The new men are Ben Sankey and Charles Engle. Unquestionably our pitching will be better, and that is most important. Our older men, Grimes, Kremer and Petty, should turn in better records the com- ing season. Grimes was out for & long time with a bad hand last year and we missed him. ‘Petty last season was the victim of some of the toughest luck I ever have seen in base ball. It is hard to believe that it will follow him through 1930. Of our younger men who were with us last year, Brame undoubtedly will re- peat his excellent record of 1929. while Swetonic, French and Meine all should improve greatly. Glenn Spencer Promising. In new material we have Glenn Spen- cer, second to the leader in the West- ern League last year with 24 victories against only nine defeats to his credit. 2 #ma!klble record all through his professional career and should make the grade. We also have Lil Stoner, who pitched great ball for Fort Worth last season, and who has had plenty of major league experience at Detroit. Several other youngsters of promise complete the staff. Our catching staff will have the add- ed strength of Albert Bool, purchased from Baltimore late last season. ‘There should be no question as to the ability of our outfield with Paul and Lloyd Waner and Adam Comorosky as assured regulars, with Fred Brickell, | who could go on ‘any major league club, | raining younger substitutes, James Mosolf should | 80 t0 U and Ira Flagstead as substitutes. Of the be valuable as a pinch hitter. All in all, I am thoroughly satisfied with our prospects. We were pretty good SCHOLASTIC QUINTS |Central, Tech, Western Prime | make their tourney debut Saturday, with Duke Quintet Favorite In Conference Tourney ATLANTA, February 27 (#). —Although Alabama, with & perfect record this season, was given high- est rating by the Southern Confer- ence basket ball pairings committee, the boys who spend their time pick- | ing winners point to the roving | band of Blue Devils from Duke as the 1930 champions. With the ar- rival of Homer Hazel and his Uni- | versity of Mississippi basketeers here yesterday, interest in the conference tournament, which starts tomorrow, took an upward jump. Alabama vanquished 11 conference opponents during the season just closed, while Duke faltered only once. However, the Blue Devils, who went to the final last year, are re- garded as great tournament players. They went through a much harder | schedule than did the Crimson | cagers. | North Carolina State, defending | champions, will enter the tourney | minus the services of a stellar player. Jimmy Brown, sophomore sharpshooter, who, paired with Larry Haar, has led the offensive, has been rendered ineligible because of scho- lastic difficulties.

Calvin Milans and W. D. King, for- mer Central High boys, have been elected captains of freshmen sports teams at Dartmouth. Milans has been chosen leader of the track team and King captain of the freshmen. Milans broke the Dartmouth yearling high jump record last Saturday when he cleared the bar at 6 feet 2% inches. Bill Payne and Charley Albert are a couple of likely appearing pitchers who reported to Coach CIff Moore at the first assembly of Western High battery candidates yesterday at the Georgetown school. Payne is a pitcher of known worth, though he did not hurl for the Red last Spring. Albert won his “W” on_the diamond last year. “Rattle the Can” Battle Marks Colonial-Manhattan Ring Meet WO of the participants in to. night's boxing meet between George Washington University and Manhattan College, in ‘the Colonial gym, will pack a real sock, but | neither is likely to inflict any punish- | ment. The sock will be of the cotton and wool variety, and it will be stuffed with similar material. Abe Stepakof and Ted Fiore will clash in a ring innova- | | tion, a “rattle the can” battle, as it is | tennis this Spring. Matches have been termed by Buck Green, the Colonial hoxing coach, With a padded sock in one band and a bell in the other, and both blind- folded, they will flail away for several rounds. There will be six regular bouts and a special, in which Bill Duffalo and | Harry Sumner will meet for the light- heavyweight champlonship of George Washington. Manhattan has no light-heavy and no heavyweight availeble and will for- feit one bout. Coach Green agreed to two 135-pound contests rather than take two forfeits.
