xton, Minus Additional eeth, Resumes Training at Chattanooga. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 27— Washington’s base ball club may miss a bit of punch if Goose Gos- lin continues to spurn President Clark Griffith’s salary offer of $10,000 and a bonus, if earned, but the outfield will not be totally wrecked because the Salem real estate broker fails to put in an appearance. Manager Walter Johnson has at' hand now two pretty good-looking gardeners in George Loepp and Red Barnes, and with either of them toiling with Sam Rice and Sam West, who flanked the Goose in the pas- tures last year, the Nationals will not lack defense in the far reaches of the ball orchard. Nor are the -Nationals likely tof be much weaker at bat so far as their eut- flelders are concerned should Goslin persist in holding out. If what Loepp and Barnes have displayed at bat in exhibition games and swinging drills thus far means anything Johnson will have a sturdy hitter in the line-up whether the southside slapping redhead from Alabama or the blond Michigander who hits from the right side works. These boys have been stinging the ball Each has plenty of As to fielding, the Nationals may find their new combination better than the I]e g,nmmg Stur.

A Needed Operation. IT wouldn't be a bad idea if some famous surgeon could take out Johnny Risko's heart and plant the same in the breast of some of our lead- ing heavyweights. He is no champion, but he has heart enough for two. Johnny did not beat Campolo on Monday night by several laps, but at least he forced most of the fighting against 2 man who was inches taller, 30 pounds heavier, faster on his feet, a better boxer and a harder puncher. This is no light handicap to face on the charge, but Risko kept charging. If Campolo had Risko's ive- ness the South American have a t shot at the main title. He has iproved his technique, but at the same time has lost of his earlier offense. Unless he can get that back Campolo isn’t anywhere either. He won at least or seven rounds from Risko, which about, entitles him to an even break in the two 10-round parties. Risko won a decision from the tall boy and got a draw and then the Cleveland baker lost a decision and got/a win.

NEIL Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, March 27.—The Ancient Order of Fight Managers, the graybeards who should know, have a few thousand words to say on the subject of the foul plague that is tearing today at the thmn of their favorite pastime. ‘The cry for some action, some lcs'h lation that will definitely curb the evil, has reached such a pitch within the last few montas that a half dozen box- ing commissions have increased penal- ties for low punching. Lawmakers are watching the political weathérvane for the possibility o{ ngenllna the Walker boxing law in New York State, So far the fistic profession itself has had no opportunity to suggest a cure, But_the m: rs have a cure. fact they have three, all decisive, lnd strangely enough all far more drastic and severe than any penalties put in force so far by State ruling bodies. No suggestion, however, will brook for an instant the idea that the wages of the gladiators involved in fouls should be withheld from them by anyone. Managers Agree. ‘The cure backed by a majority of New ‘York managers calls for the immediate w\mflnu out of a fighter who goes to the floor claiming foul. It would punish the scant minority of the innocent who Leo g 00 oranch o1 Maxey Rosenbloom, is built around the idea fighter will stay on the floor, foul or no foul, if he knows that the referee is about to count him out. These man- agers believe that an incapacitating foul is the rarest thing in the boxing business, Minor fouls, they insist, are just ordinary incidents in a game de- signed for rough and rugged he-men.

Joe Fight Fan, who week after week buys his balcony seat and pays the freight, could see no problem at all. “Make them fight over again the next week as an added attraction before you pay them and watch those eggs quit foulinng,” he said.
