It is certain, though, that Johnson is tickled by the earnest way the players, veterans and re- cruits are attacking the training business in the camp here on the Mississippi Sound and it is no secret that he expects results much earlier this Spring than last. Already the pitchers are through with casual tossing about of ‘base ball and, starting tomorrow, each will be given individual attention in conditioning work.

But he declas-s he feels well and shows an abundance of Igpper in . drills. n Savidge, comparative rookie, car- ried aqver from last year, and Carlos Moare, Herbert Pyle and Paul Daugert, out-and-out recruits, are willing work- ers and are apt to stick around some time before final judgment is passcd on them. In experience, Moore seems to have the call over the others, but Pyle, a well set-up fellow, may make a great bid for a berth. Muddy Ruel, who did little catching last season, seems bent upon regaining his post of first-string receiver with the Nationals. He is one of the hardest working athletes in camp and already 15 getting the kinks out of the throw. ing arm that troubled him so much the past two campaigns.

Griffith is ready to talk over terms with the little receiver and declares he is not inclined to be harsh because Benny did not .report at the time or dered. According to Griffith, Tate al- ways has been more or less provoked because he was not permitted to do all the catching for the Washington club and while rexy usually does not tolerate nce of orders he ad- mires Tate's spirit and expects to have the catcher in line soon. One more catcher will be a big help here. There are plenty of pitchers who will need attention from now on. While Tate will be welcomed gladly, it appears the club authorities are not worried much by Roy Spencer’s aloof~ ness with respect to the terms offered him.
