Only Nine Nats Now Absent From Camp: Phi LOEPP 1S ON SCENE READY T0 SIGN P Liska and Marberry Attain- ing Playing Form Ahead BY JOHN B. KELLER. of Other Moundsmen. ILOXI, Miss., March 6.—This training camp of the Na- tionals has become a very busy place.. With so many of the infielders and outfielders joining the batterymen here for early conditioning work, but nine more of the players on the Wash- ington roster are yet to report. They are Joe Cronin, Jack Hayes, Buddy Myer, Bill Bradley and Jimmy McLeod, infielders; Goose Goslin and Al Powell, outfielders; Garland Braxton, pitcher, and Roy Spencer, catcher. 2 Monday morning the entire squad of 30 players is due to report for practice at Biloxi Field, for the nine now missing have been ordered to check in here not iater than Sunday. H@wever, Spencer and Goslin may not be among those present when Manager Walter Johnson sends his athletes through their course of sprouts the first of next week. Nothing has been heard from the Goose recently, but Spencer has asked the club to return to him personally owned equipment he left at the Wash- ington club house at the end of last season, which may mean that the catcher has decided not to show up here. President Clark Griffith declares he is tired of dickering Spencer, who has repeatedly spurned the contract offered him for this year, and has written the balking catcher asking him to wire the club before the end of this week whether he intends to r?rt at camp not later than 3 no reply is forthcoming or an unfavorable reply be received Griffith says he will suspend Spencer, Only Five Unsigned. ‘The Wasl club’s holdout list that now there are but cipate in the drill and pel;n‘ his signature on a contract today.

As Formidable Note: This is another of a series of Airst-hand Associated Press stories on major league base ball prospects. BY RUSSELL J. NEWLAND, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. ASO ROBLES, Calif, March 6. — Pittsburgh’s _Pirates, winners of two National League pennants in the last five years and always one of the tough-to-beat teams of the senior circuit, give early Spring training promise of having a lot to do with ffimm" of the 1930 champion- Spring workout has been under way in full force only two days, but Manager Jewell Ens has seen enough to convince him he will pilot a club “that should be up there with any kind of breaks.” . A great squad—fast, ng fellows, hard-hitting outfit, pitching—is the way Ens sums up the situation. “Pennants aren't won in training camps, but you can tell any one who cares to listen that the Pirates are go- ing to give a good account of them- selves this season,” he declared. “The ral structure of the team that lost out to the Cubs in the closing weeks of last year's pennant chase remains the same, but two corners have been reinforced. Gussie Suhr, husky home- run hitter from the San Francisco Seals, replaces Earl Sheely at first base, while Al Bool, a workhorse catcher, has been purchased from the Baltimore In- ternationals.” Pounding Infield Trio. ‘With Suhr at first, George Grantham at second and Capt. “Pie” Traynor at a_trio whose poorest hitting efforts should be better than .300.

In- stead, they have worked themselves up | to a high point of enthusiasm over a rookie, Ben Sankey, who played with | |Selma, Ala, in _the Southeastern League last season.

Foy Frazier, outfielder formerly with Osakland of the Const League, was signed vesterday and will be given a chance to show his wares, Whether Burlelgh Grimes, the club's best pitcher, will be in uniform is a sub- ject of much discussion at present. Grimes wants a two-year contract and has informed friends here he will not report until hs ?rll one, Sam Dreyfus savs the club will not give anybody a two-year contract, Manager Ens, how- ever belleves his star twirler will come to terms and is counting on him to win at least 20 gamen Jesn Petty Looks Fine.

T was only natural that my thoughts very early in life should turn to the major leagues—being the son of a once famous big league pitcher and perhaps the one dominant ambi- tion throughout my kid days was to follow his footsteps. Somewhere, back there as a boy, there was in my mind the fond hope of one day reaching the same high place on the diamond which he did, but I know now that was ask- ing a great deal, as dad—so every one says—was one of the greatest pitchers of all time, I had to wait longer for the chance, however, than I wished, as dad insisted that I first should attend college and obtain a degree, so after preparing at St. John's Prep School in_ Danvers, Mass., I entered Notre Dame University in 1924, At N. D, along with my studies for th: legree, I began work- ing for the chance in the major league, and as dad was one of the coaches 1 | came under his teaching, so by the time I graduated in 1928 I had made a record good enough for a trial with | the White Sox. The last game with Notre Dame was | played in June, 1928, against the Cor- | nel' team, and that night I boarded a train for ‘Chicago—happy and jubilant | that the long-cherished dream of an op- better than ever, while § portunity in the majors was near.

BRADENTON, Fla, March 6 (N.AAN.A)—Gabby Street, whose fingers were {wisted by catching Walter Johnson when the Wash- ington speed king was at his best, now is Charles E. Street, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. And you can say this for him: No leader ever had men mor: anxious to do well. The players are for him from base ball caps to spikes. St. Louis has had many man- . agers—one a year has been the aver- age—but I doubt whether any of them had the whole-hearted loyalty ., which appears to exist for Street. The boys will win for him if they can, Street himself makes no wild predictions, “You can't boast in the Spring." he says, “without facing danger, but if I can manage to work a bit more strengih out of my pitching staff this club will be in the race all the way.” TILDEN’S NEW PROTEGE ONLY 12, BUT IS “VET” CANNES, France, March 6 (#).— ‘William T.

TIGHTER PITCHING, HOPE OF SHOTTON | Quakers Already Possess| Batting Power to Climb in Pennant Race. This is one of a series of articles on the prospects of the 16 entries in the American and National League the races writt the lead rival leamc.m i g BY BURT SHOTTON, Manager Philadelphia Nationals. IS is my third year in charge of the Phillies and I feel that during that time we have made considerable progress. Last year we finished fifth. For years the Phillies have been finishing last, so leading the second division was a step upward and a surprise to some folks. Not myself, however, as I know we| have a pretty good ball club. In finishing fifth in 1929 we made a_better showing than any Philadel- phia club has done in the last 12 years as to games won. We were the offi- cial jinx of the Pittsburgh club. If my memory is not at fault we trim- med them eight straight games dur- ing a certain criti- cal period in the race. Failure to beat our club kept Pittsburgh down more than any one other factor. On the other hand the Cubs and Giants made merry at our expense. Had we been able to make a good showing against these two clubs we would have finished in the first division. It is an admitted fact that a club without a punch at the bat hasn't much chance to get anywhere in a pennant race. That is all very true, but the 1929 experience of the Phillies proved that while a punch is most es- sential, good pitching is just as neces- sary. ‘We led the National League in team batting, with an average of .308, yet could finish no better than fifth. Lack of pitching is what kept us down. Expects Better Pitching. T feel that we will get better pitching | this year. Phil Collins, former New Orleans twirler, who was not right physically last year, should help us the coming season. Lester Sweetland im- proved fast last season and I believe will be a consistent winner this year. No doubt some people wondered why | I took Grover Alexander at the age of 42, when my chief purpose is to de- velop a young ball club. Every ball club neéds a certain amount of bal- ance. There must be just the proper mixture of veterans and youngsters. Our pitching staff lacks veteran bal- ance, and I feel the addition of Alex- ander will supply that want., Last sea- son I could have saved a dozen ball games if I had some experienced vet- eran like Alexander to rush into the breach for an inning or two. m';‘e he will help in that respect if no other. ok i Burt Shotten, Jinxed Last Season. Last season a Spring jinx in the form of an automobile accident robbed us of the services of Shortstop Thevenow. That was quite a handicap. In the Fall we suffered further trouble when Catcher Lerian was killed. He had shown steady improvement in his work and was just about ready to.be & valuable man back of the bat. On the whole our club will be prac- tically the same as last year. We have secured Infielder Sherlock from the Coast League and Outfielder Sigman from Canton. The latter player comes to us with quite a_reputation as a long distance hitter. You will recall that Klein came to Philadelphia from the same league Sigman hails from. In ODoul and Klein I have two great natural hitters who get plenty of distance to their drives. A club fortunate to have two hitters of the slugging type in their line-up have a threat that upsets many a pitcher, I have no pennant thoughts, but I do feel that we have a mighty fine chance to slip into first division. We have power st the bat, and if we are fortunate enough to get improved pitching—and I am inclind to think we will—then the Phillies are going to be troublesome. 1 regard the Cubs as the best team in the National League and feel Mc- Carthy will repeat; at least he's going to be mighty tough to beat.

RTHUR FLYNN, filery Irishman from Lawrence, Mass., cracked me on the chin harder than I ever was hit before or since. It happened in a 10-round contest at Providence, R. 1., September 26, 1928. Arthur, a schoolboy sensation, was a tremendous puncher, rnlcull.rly with his left. He was knocking a lot of the boys flatter than a ‘hoarse chorine's high C note. I had no doubt I could| outpoint him, even though I had read! S D world e. 1 stepped about in the first round, looking the boy wonder over. I stabbed him with a few straight lefts. I wanted to warm up before putting on full speed. I decided on a change of pace in the second, planning to mix things up a bit. As often happens, the ather fellow got the same notion a fraction of a second earlier. With the gong for the second round Flynn got the jump on me. A furious rush forced me into a neutral corner. I saw an opening and shot over a right. Then I feit a curious :‘z.rzudt:un. I thwu[h: a load of bricks opped on my jaw. Flynn peh:d landed his deadly left inside my right. Stretched on the can- vas, I came to as the referee yelled ' “Twol” mind cleared quickly, but/( I took full advantage of the chance to! relax and think matters over. I didn’t get up until the count of nine. ‘The crowd was thrilled to see me getting my pretty silk tights mussed I am| in the rosin. It had paid to see Flynn's! terrific left hook. I felt it. But I weathered the storm. Beginning with the next round, I painted my initials, all over the schoolboy's anatomy. I won the decision.

With ancient Adolfo Luque pitch- ing and young Alfonso Lopez catch- ing, the instructions can be passed in their native Spanish, with no one the wiser. They also may be able to get in a few words about the way the umpire is calling 'em without leaving the field.

Ray Moss, still a holdout, but a rather doubtful one, and Jim Faulk- ner also arrived. $1,000 LINKS PRIZE IS WON BY COLLINS By the Associated Press. ST.
