It has come to the attention of those at the Nationals' training camp here that stories are being broadcast to the effect that Griffith is weakening in his stand in the affair and that he re- gards Goslin’s presence in the line-up as essential to the success of the Wash- ington Club, If Griffith is backing out or thinks his club will be a total loss he certainly is not letting any one here at camp know it. And after his formal statement issued last Saturday Griffith would be made to look foolish indeed ON 152 CRPRLES Feels Bengough, Pennock and | Van Pelt Wil Be 0.

While all re-| , gret the breach between Goslin and thei club—and none regrets it more than| Grifith, who bears the player no fl]} feeling—they sense the determination in | the Washington president’s attitude. | They see no sign of weakening on his rt. p‘As to Griffith saying for publication | that Goslin is essential to the success of the Washington Ball Club, the assertion is foolish on the face of it. Even though Goslin has been quite valuable to the Nationals in other years up to the 1929 campaign, the club could function without him. And surely one would not expect the president of the club to ad- mit he would have to have Goslin in his | line-up or give up hope. Heads of busi- ness—and big league base ball is a busi- | ness—aren't doing such a thing these days. An Asset, In Shape. There’s no doubt but that the Na-| tionals would miss Goslin should he persist in his stand and not join them this year. When he is in trim the Goose 18 a great ball player and an asset to his club.

But right now it looks ui though Griffith will not yield a point. 1t is believed here that the Washington president has offered Goslin all he in- tends to offer him, and that only by ac- cepting the offer will the Salem slugger wear the uniform of the Nationals this year. Ha of their first exhibi- mu?::gllmo.dm the Nationals are looking for more competition in their engagement with the Louisville club of the American Association, scheduled in Biloxi Stadium tomorrow ~afternoon.

The New Orleans moundsmen were rather free with passes, issuing 10. ‘They also kicked in with a wild pitch and hit a batter and one of the Pelican | catchers let a pitched ball get by. Then | the visitors were gullty of four misplays afield. The Nationals kept their field- slate unmarred. lew Orleans staked itself to a tally by bunching two hits in the opening round, - but the Nationals hopped on Berry for a quartet of runs in the sec- ond session, all crossing after two were out. It was a single to center by Marberry that drove over the tying tally and & scratchy hit by Sam West that put the Washington club in front to stay. Rookies Show Wares. West, Red Barnes and Buddy Myer were the only Natfonals to go through the entire seven innings. Joe Ju and Ossie Bluege were withdrawn early because the diamond had been so soft- ened by a rain of the night before that Manager Johnson feared the legs of these veteran inflelders might damaged. . This gave Bill Bradley, rookie, and Jack Hayes a chance to show their wares and later George Loepp, Gordon Phelps and Jimmy Mc- Leod, recruits, performed. Finally Uncle Nick Altrock gave the crowd & kick with an inning of first-basing. Barnes and Myer collected three hits each, a triple being in each collection. Barnes was the big noise of the Na- tionals' attack. His batting accounted for seven runs and he scored once. His triple was made in the seventh when the bases were full. Hayes got two hits. So did the new boys, Phelps and McLeod. One of Phelps' drives was somewhat scratchy, but the other was a liner to center, and both of McLeod's les were soundly smacked. lding gems were contributed by Loepp and McLeod. The right fielder le & sensational shoe-top catch of a liner in the fourth frame, coming in fast to get to the ball.

For the first time in the history of the national event, held here for 10 con- secutive years, a Far Western team has reached the finals, ago, having gone into the finals of 1929 to lose to the Kansas City Cooks. Both finalists gained their coveted positions at the expense of college teams. The Olympics defeated Bethany College of Lindsborg, Kans., 23 to 21, in two overtime periods. Henrys won from East Central Teachers of Ada, Okla., 27 to 22. “How I Broke Into F it had not been called to my at- tention, the chances are I never would have played a single game of league base ball, for I had never given base ball a thought as a profes- sion. But Arthur Devlin, famous third baseman of the New York Giants of a number of years ago, is responsible for me breaking into the major leagues. Arthur, who was coaching the Ford- ham University team back in 1919, when 1 was a student at that institu- tion, called me aside one day. “Frankie,” he said, “how would you like to join the New York Giants. ‘This was like a bolt of lightning to me, for I was a terrible ball player in my own mind. I was a poor fielder and only a fair hitter back in those col- lege days, although I was regarded as very fast.

Though the Stenogs have several| capable players at hand, none of these are pitchers, and Woodworth’s biggest problem will be to develop hurling strength. The Orange also is shy of catching timber. Freddy Finley, whose experience has been decidedly limited, is the only player available who has appreciable catching ability, so far as is known.

Back on the same club he helped pitch to its last pennant under the late Pat Moran in 1915, 43-year-old Grover Cleveland Alexander will attempt to contribute some of the hurling help that the Phillies require to make their ter- rific long-range firing effective in the “games won” column. The Phillies smashed their way to fifth place last year despite mediocre mound work. With Alexander as a valuable coach and aid to Manager Burt Shotton in the de- velopment of the new twirling talent, whether or not “Qld Pete” wins many games himself, the\club has high hopes of crashing into the first division. Might Still Take Turn. “I still think I can win quite a few ball games,” declared Alexander, “espe- cially with these boys hitting for me in- stead of against me. That’s a break, at least. I've been around a long time, but I never saw a team that can wallop the old ball or the new one the way these lads do. I've never had a sore arm in sensational hitters. Last year, they led’ the clubs of both I es with a batting mark of .319, besides shattering the team marks for most total bases, most long hits, most extra bases on long hits and most home runs—153. In addition Frank J. (Lefty) O'Doul, the individual batting king for 1929, set ur a new record with a total of 254 hits, while his outfield mate, Charles H. (Chuck) Klein, in his first full major league season, onrmby'u home run record with a total of One Regular Below .300. The Phillies have .300 hitters in every reguiar st except shortstop, where Tommy Thevenow’s defensive skill and 2bility to hit in'pinches offsets any lack of slugging talent. Tommy's in- fi~’'d mates, Arthur Whitney at third, Fresco Thompson at second and Don Hurst at first, will help the outfleld combination of O'Doul, Klein and Sothern take care of the hitting.
