KELLER. TLOXI, Miss, March 18— They're angling for Wash- ington's hold-outs, Leon Goslin _and Roy Spencer. Cleveland and Detroit have lines in base ball's trading pond and hope to lure the game. President Clark Griffith has been unable to land thus far. The Nationals’ prexy has nothing to say about reported overtures by the Indians and Tigers concerning deals that would remove the balking play- ers from the Nationals’ roster, but many others who have made the rounds of the training camps are telling of proposed deals. It seems Cleveland would like to hook Spencer and Detroit has a hank- ering for Goslin. Supposedly Cleve- 1and is ready to talk business right now and would consider giving Washington & break in a trade. Detroit, it seems, been after the Goose since last Fall and although its offer was spurned by Griffith when first made, the Tiger officials believe the Washington presi- dent might listen to them now. For some time Manager Johnson has fancied Eddie Morgan, rangy outfielder of the Indians, who does his batting from the right side. Johnson thinks Morgan is a good ball player. So no one would be more pleased than John- son should President Griffith rig up a deal that would bring Morgan to Wash- ington in exchange for Spencer. Morgan Hit .318 in 1929. Morgan batted in 93 games for the Indians last season and amassed an average of .318. He made 101 hits, 19 of them doubles, 10 triples and four homers. Sam Rice, who hit for .323, ‘was the only Washington outfielder to outhit Morgan in the past campaign. Morgan was an erratic fielder, for he made 11 errors and finished the season with an average of only .908. but John- holds that Morgan is likely to improve afleld and that he has the strength to become a better batter. The Indians have a flock of out- flelders in training at New Orleans and bably could easily sfi‘“ ‘Morgan. ere are but three catchers with the tribe, however, and of the trio, only Luke Sewell has been a consistently performer.

The collegians are well thought of in this town as several of them are Biloxi boys and Griffith listed the contest to give the town that has treated his club so well some extra entertainment as much as to give the Nationals the benefit of work under fire. ~MARLBORO HIGH NINE TO TOIL TO PRODUCE UPPER MARLBORO, Md, March 18.—Upper Marlboro High School’s base ball team will meet Brandywine High in a practice game tomorrow at Brandy- Tr: N ig! el ere. mexcmx&'mn. who played with the Faston and Crisfield teams of the East- ern Shore and who is a 1928 graduate of the University of Maryland, is coaching the Marlboro squad for the first time.

Many of the best golfers of today advocate finishing the stroke with a right-hand punch. Somewhere, aft- er reaching the half-way down point of the swing, they tell us to hit through with the strong right arm. Harry Vardon says this is wrong. He goes further and states that we fi‘mmmthourmou-c the f-way down c&omt by thinking that now our b isn't traveling fast enough, that our hands are leading the clubhead, and that to insure getting the clubhead into the ball first we try to speed it up with The right-arm punch is to be avoid- ed. Just swing through with the arms, he says, and make certain that you don’t try to Iun{e or punch, but merely add acceleration to the clubhead by your arm swing. More of this in the next article.

Under the proposed McGraw method the bi-monthly check drawn by each player would not be as heavy as that which is handed once every two weeks under the present system, but he would have more pay days.

STRAIGHT O ARRY G. PITT and J. B. Murphy, golf leaders of a group of ambitious young men who hope their friends will live forever, but who at the same time will underwrite their chances of passing on to other spheres of activity, have come out | try with a challenge on behalf of the insurance fraternity of Washing- ton to play a golf match over any course against a team of four or six men representing any other business in Washington. Pitt and Murphy are golfers of con- siderable skill, as they have shown in their playing around Washington for several years past, and they hold that a team of men who are in the busi- ness of insuring against everything from housemaid’s knee to flat feet can trounce a team made up of men from any other business about the Capital. Their team would be drawn from such outstanding J’hyen as Page Hufty of Congressional, Frank K. Roesch of Washington, E. B. and Everett Eynon of Columbia and others of somewhat lesser ability who the sponsors for the match claim’ can take care of them- selves in any sort of affray with driver and mashie. Speaking of trick ways to make a hole in par we present the palm to Comdr. C. T. Lynes of Washington. Playing the seventeenth at Columbia {uterdly from the upper tee, Lynes nocked out & magnificent 40-yard tee shot. His second shot was short of the hill on which the green is located, his shot was over the green and he holed out for a par 4, thereby winning the hole from the others in the game who had played it in regulation fashion and took three putts on the fast, slop- ing green. ‘Washington’s women golfers are in for another busy season.

FF THE TEE Von Steinner, Beaver Dam Country ct, | DWNER, MANAGER MORALE, ALL NEW And Even Some of Its Old Players Will Be Wearing New Uniforms. BY ALLAN GOULD, Associated: Press Sports Writer. ORLANDO, Fla, March 18— The €incinnati Reds this year have a new owner, a new manager, new spirit—and some old familiar figures in new uniforms. They hope the combination will make the Redlegs more conspicuous in the National League pennant chase than Has been the case since they last seriously threatened in 1926. Late last season, the ownership of the Reds passed to the hands of Sidney Weil, young and energetic automobile dealer, who admitted a lack of techni- cal base ball knowledge, but possessed excellent enough business judgment to engage the capable Dan Howley as general manager of_the forces on the fleld. Backed by Weil, Howley has given the club a drastic shaking up ana developed a habit of hustling that may make the Reds a decided factor this season, even though they hardly can hop'-e' to entertain any pennant pros- pects. Developing New Pifchers. Howley has concentrated on the de- velopement of new pitchers, the en- couragement of the old and the acquisi- tion of a bigger punch in the outfield by obtaining Bob Meusel and Harry (Slug) Heilmann from American League clubs at an outlay understood to be around $50,000. The new manager found ready-made for him, such assety as the great right-handed twirler, Charles (Red) Lucas; a sensationa’ catcher in Clyde Sukeforth and a fine second-base combination in Hughie Critz and Horace Ford. Leo Durocher, the peppery lad obtained from the Yankees, may break into this comb! nation as an alternate or understudy for Ford at shortstop without spoiling its defensive efficiency. Meusel and Heilman, in fine condition and eager to show they can hit Na- tional League curves as hard as they hit American League fast balls, give the Reds a much-needed clean-up wallop Howley will be disappointed if thesg two do not hit around .350 apiece. They will be supported probably by Ernest Evar Swanson, centerfielder, and one of the fastest men in base ball, with Curtis, Walker, Ethan Allen and per- haps Earl Webb, former Cub, in re- TVe. The veteran George Kelly at first and either Charley Dressen or Joe sm at third base will round out the 1d. Tony Cuccinello came up touted as a great third baseman from Columbus | but Howley has developed him prin- cipally as_an upderstudy for Critz at second. ‘This ‘sppears important in | view of the talk at various times that the Reds might listen to terms on a deal for Critz. No matter how many games they place in the winning column, the Red flingers will be in condition. Howley has had the whole club hustling, but he has had the pitchers running. Like Bob Shawkey, Buckey Harris and other managers, Howley remds a pitcher's legs as important as arms. Lucas, May Are Aces. Nothing is the matter with the good right arm of Lucas who won 19 games last season, or the southpaw of Jakie May. They are the aces of the staff. Pete Donohue, much heavier and stronger, and pa Jeptha Rixey, | towering southpaw, probably will capi< | talize their experience as relief men. | Howley hopes to develop at least one, if not two consistent performers from the crop, including Doug_ McWeeny, big fast-ball pitcher from Brooklyn; Archie Campbell, another of St. Paul's numer- Club; Mrs. Frank R.

Opening an extended campaign tour, ‘Walker last night devoted less than two rounds to knocking out a Polish light-heavyweight using the name of Jimmy Mahoney in the final bout at the White City Arena. Mahoney did well in the first round, landing several sturdy punches, but was knocked down twice by the middleweight title holder's left hand before being knocked com- pletely out. It was Walker's first chlug: ;R. pearance since March, 1929, when he was outpointed by Tommy Loughran in a light-heavyweight title bout at the Chicago Stadium. About 4,500 spectators saw the bout, paying around $8,500. SARPOLIS WINS ON MAT.
