RED BEING FITTED FOR POST IN LEFT Daugert and Pyle Sporting| Sore Arms as Training Tempo Is Increased. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ILOXI, Miss., March 10.—Red Barnes, now starting his third full season with the| Nationals, will be used in| the outfield this year should Goose | Goslin fail to come to terms with the club, and very likely will be used in left field, the place Goslin | filled. Manager Walter Johnson | has decided Barnes is the best around to occupy the berth Goslin seems bent upon vacating, and now is grooming the young Ala- baman carefully for the work. Barnes was sent through a long hit- ting drill at yesterday's practice ses- sion, the first on a Sunday in years for the Nationals, and again today faced the pitchers for some time. He is sting- ing the ball soundly in these drills and Johnson believes Red will blossam into a much better batter than his .281 average for his big league career in- dicates. It will be recalled that Barnes hnd‘ little chance to show his wares when | he came up to the Nationals from Bir- | mingham late in the season of 1927. At that, however, he got four hits in 11 times at bat. The next year, though, Red cracked the sphere hard from the start of campaigning and for many weeks was among the league's best bat- ters. He finished with an average of .305, having made 127 hits in 417 times up. Last season when used as an emergency batter and outfielder he to .200.

There are two slightly sore arms 1tn the pitching ranks. Paul Daugert, left hander picked up from New Jersey semi-pro fields has an aching shoulder, but trainer Mike Martin believes the soreness will be gone within a day or two, Herbert Pyle, drafted from Chat- tanooga last Fall, seems to have a much sorer arm. He complains of ins in shoulder and elbow and it-is eared that he has a touch of ncuriils. | He is unable to do much in practice | now. Braxton on the Job.

If any precedent is upset by the 1930 edition it may be expected in some other depart- ment of the game. Six home runs were collected off Bos- ton Brave pitchers in the game here yesterday which Detroit won 14 to 5.

Byrd and Ruth met yester- day in a 36-hole match to decide the golf championship of the base ball club and Byrd won, 4 up and 3 to play.

CHAPMAN PROVES SKILL AT THIRD WITH YANKEES ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 10 (#).—The most improved rookie in the New York Yankees’ training camp seems to be Ben Chapman, tI baseman from the St. Paul club of the American Association. Chapman, whom Manager Bob Shawkey hopes will fill the hole at th! base this season, has shown vast im- provement in his fielding the past week and his throwing also is much better than it was. Chapman used a side- arm throw at St. Paul, but Shawkey and his coaches have been teaching the youngster to throw overhand. VET HURLERS OF REDS GET FIRST MOUND TOIL RLANDO, Fla., March 10 (#) —Vet- et butlens of the Cincinnati Reds to- day had thelr first opportunity to work on the mound as the Redlegs went into their second week of training.

CUBS’ MOUND HOPEFULS DUE FOR MORE WORK AVALON, Catalina Island, Calif, March 10 (#).—The young aspirants for pitching jobs with the National League champion Chicago Cubs today were down for more and better work, follow- ing what occurred yesterday. The Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Pacific Coast Leaguers yesterday, 17 to 12, but the Angels larruped Messrs.

ELVIN T. OTT of the New York Giants is just 21 years old. He was born in M 1909 at Gretna, La. There is nothing peculiar in the fact that Mel Ott is 21 years old or that “he was born in Gretna, La. But it is a trifle odd that at the age of 21 Mel Ott is starting his sixth year with the New York Giants. He came to the club at the age of 16. In 1926, at the age of 17, he in 35 games and batted .383. t looking further into the matter, you can write this down as a record—the only 17-year-old big leaguer who ever batted above .380. When Ott was 18 years old he played in more than 80 games, and slumped to .282. He broke as swiftly as a flock of stocks crashed last Fall. But in 1928 and 1929 Ott came back again to the neighborhood of .330, and last year he was one of the star home run producers of the season. ‘The young Inat starts his next season with a four-year average of ,328. As mflr than most recruits who fll;l:fl! in, he should b; Ibuafi ready to combine experience and.you! and step into the middle of his finest average of .667. Which was fair enough for 17—or any other age you can think of. At the age of 22 Foxx is starting his sixth season with the Athletjcs, where his five-year average Has been .342. In his one ‘world series start yaunf Foxx paddied out a mark of .350 in five games, to prove that all pitchers prac- tically look alike to his batting eye. Foxx so far has outhit Ott, and the race between this pair of young veterans ‘will be one of the most Interesting spots of the next campaign. They-are two great kids, who have a long way to go, and, as both are sluggers, even at soon age, one of them may become the Babe Ruth of 1934 or 1935, when the Babe finally decides to cease firing. Ott and Foxx are two unusual contributions to sport, since few ball players ever crash the big league boundary at 20 or 21, much less come to. this spot with several seasons under their belts. A Jump en- Cobb. TT and Foxx had the jump on Ty Cobb in this matter of age. was 19 when He reported to Detroit in 1905, and he was 43 when he finally decided that 23 years of big league com- petition was about all his age could stand. A remarkable feature is that Cobb at the age of 43 was batting close to the marks held by Ott and Foxx, who were less than half his age. Gobb's greatest years came around the age of 26 and 27, so the two youths from New York and Philadelphia still have some seasons ahead before they come to their e. ‘To figure that either will be “another Cobb” is another story. Base ball has known only one Cobb, just as base ball has known only one Ruth.

But there's a lot behind the statement that does not show without careful analysis. Seems simple. Just motor down to the boat, bringing provisions, climb aboard, start the motor, and away we go. Well, that's part of it, but far from all of it. Now is the time when a great part of the unseen “it” must be taken care of if the week ends down river are to be- come an accomplished fact. “It” before week ends are possible and if one doesn’t start now he will find him- self busy preparing when others more provident are away cruising. ‘There are Tepairs to be made, new gadgets installed, the motor may need overhauling; careful inspection will al- ways reveal something that needs re- newing, someth! to be attended to.

Here of late there has been an un- usual amount of oil on the surface of the water, the blobs resembling either fuel oil or old crankcase oil. It's against the law, kills fish, soils everything it contacts and adds to the flithy con- dition of local waters. Who is th guilty party? HILE on the subject of navigation we almost forgot our pet story. Ever hear of a “barnyard navigator'? Well, they had ’em back in the pre- power squadron days. Plenty of ’‘em. Still have a few. They worked some- thing like this. They'd start off by guess, and hold onto the port tack until through the night would be heard a tremulous “Mo0-0-0-00.” The bold navigator would then change course and remark to.the puzzled guest, “That’s Guest: “How do you “Easy—that's old man Burk- ett’s cow.” Then he'd hold onto the starboard tack for a while and in due course he'd hear the bark of a dog. “That's Swann's” he’d say, and go on the other tack, and later explain that old man Swan kept a St. Bernard. It is further related that the untimely demise of a well known rooster caused four boats to go aground in the same ing | night for the same reason that mis- takes are made on the foot ball field— the skippers could not hear their sig- nals. So the whole system was easy and boiled down to this—hold your course for a while, then ease up and listen: if you know your animals you know your river. Cock-a-doodle-oo! Wurf! Wurf!

The next thing I knew I was stretched in the center | of the ring, on my side, and the Youngs- town fire chief, who was refereeing, stuck five fingers in front of my face. Everybody was standing on top of chairs, yelling, and I couldn’t hear what the chief had to say. When he opened his mouth and waved six fingers, it dawned on me that I was in a fight. Thoughts ran through my mind faster than they do with a drowning man. It occurred to me that if I got up I might fall down again. I wanted something to steady myself with. Then my eyes fell on the ropes. With the fire chief’s pantomime act spurring me on I made for the ropes, crawling on my hands and knees. The yells that filled the building changed into .laughter. I reached my destina- tion just as the referee beside me sang out “eight.” At “nine” I pulled myself to my feet, turning around with the same motion to steady myself, putting my back to the ropes. Downey, his feet spread wide apart and with a look of complete surprise on his face, was standing almost on the other side of the ring. The time he wasted making up his mind what to do next helped me a lot to get over the woozy feeling. Downey came charg- ing like a bull, swinging wild. I rolled my head and easily avoided him.
