Goslin En Route to HEADING FOR CAMP T0 DISCUSS TERMS £ Patching Up of Salary Row Likely as Holdout Re- opens Negotiations. Goose Goslin is on his way to Chattanooga to talk turkey with President Clark Griffith of the Nationals. Goslin arrived in Washington this morning by motor from his home in New Jersey and left on the 11 o'clock train for Atlanta, from where he will motor to Chattanooga, reach- ing there about 9 o'clock to- morrow morning. Goslin said at the station, Just before leaving, that he felt sure that he and Griffith would come to terms without difficulty and that he would be in a Washington uniform with- in a few days. Goslin, who appeared in fine fettle, said that he was in much better condition than he was last Spring at this time. “I have been working much harder up- home, practicing with a high school team for which my brother pitches, than I did at Tampa last Spring, and am just about ready to step in and prove that I can play the kind of ball that the Washington club and the fans expect me to deliver.” BY JOHN B. KELLER. HATTANOOGA, Tenn., Apr}l 1.—121 may be April‘ Fog}l: day for many people, not for Goose Goslin. The Goose knows where the coffee and cakes come from and everything indicates he’s going to take no result of the club’s “insulting” of- fer of $10,000 salary for this year with an indefinite bonus proviso wiring the prexy he would like 3 come hengltxy t!‘\: club’s ex- pense—to talk over terms. Grifith lost no time informing the Goose that he might come along, with the club footing the bill, but he gave the player no Here's what Griffith said to Goslin: “Wire received.

However, Griffith is con- fident his wire of lasi night will bear fruit that the Goose will be at frul ate tomorrow nignt. 1 so, he th the Washington This may be only a partial closing of the breach between the balking out- fielder, who for many seasons during his service with the Nationals has been b the club. Again, it is likely to be the finish of a controversy that has resulted in the airing of some dirty linen, Whatever it may be, though, it shows that Griffith was sin- statement that be would make 1.0 conciliation. He said in a Yflntll statement not so long ago that he Wor'd make no formal offer in the name of the club to Goslin until the it the Goose balking player first communicated with | the l:!ll has The terms offered in the contract to Goslin called for a straight salary of ear and the letter accom- panyi i contract informed the Goose t a bonus might be arranged providing the player played well enough to earn additional compensation. 1In all likelthood, though, Griffith will willing to make an arrangement that will be satisfactory with the Goose that will guarantee only the $10,000 salary, but which also will include a graduated bonus that will compensate Goslin up to his last year’s salary, which was $16,000. Now that Goslin seems willing to par- ley with the Washington club there should be no difficulty in getting to . Despite all reports to the con- trary, the Goose never has had any real argument with the source of his salary. l;‘i{h Goslin in line, there is no doubt as to improvement of the Washingtén club over last year. Then Goslin was having his troubles, mostly with him- self. Now there is every indication that the hitherto recalcitrant outfielder re- alizes the error of his ways and will enter the fold as a player absolutely reconcilable to discipline and ready to do his best for the outfit that gives him his living. Hayes to Start at Second. Jack Hayes, one of the finest infield- rican League, will start for the Nationals when begins on April 14, unless throwing arm soon rounds orm. When the club first came to train, Manager Walter John- son virtually decided to return Myer to the post he filled the greater part of last | because of the player's hitting strength.

True, Myer was plugging along around the base fairly well, but Hayes fielded like a flash. Always easy and graceful, covering a deal of ground with minimum effort, taking care of difficult chances deftly and getting the ball away fast and ac- curately, Hayes in the drills looked even better than he did last year. Recently Hayes has made all hands at camp realize he is even better than for- merly as a flelder. He seems destined to become as sparkling second-sacker as Ossie Bluege is third-sacker, and ‘Washington fans well know what that would mean. Jack seems perfectly at home at the position. He apparently is never at a 10ss as to what to do whether initiating a play or assisting to engineer one. Excepting Bluege, he is by far the most finished flelder of the inner ad. . Myer has been struggling recently to rid himself of the arm ailment, but thus far has made little progress. Rest treat- ment has been tried, and Trainer Mike Martin has rescrted to massages. Noth- ing seems to have helped to any ap- preciable extent. The arm still is quite sore and Buddy's throwing is weak as a result. To his credit, Myer has re- peatedly tried to “work out” the sore- ness in practice and in games, too, but. nothing good has come of these efforts. Arm soreness has been a chronic PIRATES WORRIED BY HOSPITAL LIST Bartell Latest to Be Laid Up—~Giants Clouting in Texas Contests. By the Associated Press, OUSTON, Tex.,, April 1.—The H Pittsburgh 'Pirates are con- injured and sick. Dick Bartell took his place on the bench today with an injured ankle. Fred Brickell, outfielder, also is nursing an injured ankle. Pie Traynor, bril- liant third baseman and captain, is en route East for treatment of an ailing eye and Lloyd Waner of the famous Waner brothers, still is weak from his recent appendicitis operation. The Pirates arrived here today on their exhibition tour. SHREVEPORT, La., April 1 (#).—If they could play all their games in Texas League ball parks, the New York Giants might set a few new home-run records. In two games since they broke camp at San Antonio, the Giants have collected seven four-base blows, five of them in Spring ailment with Myer since he first came up to the Nnnomhmu; dlynb. Al- ways at training camp experi- enced trouble with the wing. But here- tofore he has managed to bring the sore 1imb around to rather good form quick- ly. This time it is different. So John- son is preparing to make a change in his ort:ml plans. Hayes, of course, hit only .276 last year. But frequently this is not re led as a handicap in the big show for an infielder if he really can handle his position much better than the player who can clout at a higher figure. John- son seemingly thinks so_now. With Myer's arm troublesome, Johnson nat- urally reasons the better thing to do is swing to Hayes despite his weaker hit- ting. So it should occasion no surprise if Jack is doing his stuff at the second sack when the curtain goes up. Sam Jones and Garland Braxton are expflected to get their first pitching trials this afternoon in an extra game scheduled with the Lookouts. The inal slate did not call for a game until Wednesday afternoon, but Man- ager this was a good time to put the through a test. ‘Tomorrow either or EARNSHAW PRIMED FOR LOTS OF TOL Athletics’ Hurler Will Scale Over 200—Lack of Punch Worrying Browns.

Gable, financial secre- tary and treasurer of the Argyle Club, has recently been made a member of the largest “hole in one” club in the world. He has just returned from a trip to Hawall, where he stood on the lip of the crater of Kilauea and drove a ball far out into the seething lava that forms the floor of the crater. W. E. Stockell has been chosen a member of the board of governors of the Argyle Club. Archie Clark’s eyes still are poppin out at the sights he saw when Clarence Gamber, long-hitting Detroit profes- sional, stood out near the eighteenth green at Congressional and crashed into a few lusty wooden club shots. Gam- ber stopped off here on his way North from his Winter post at Boca Raton, Fla.,, where he has been Tommy Ar- mour’s assistant, and visiting Congres- | sional, he hit a few balis just to keep | his hand in. Clark said that Gamber's | tee shots are the longest he ever has | seen. y and M. A. “What do you have to do to get a | half in this golf game?” G. H. Chas- mar remarked, as he walked off the tenth green at Columbia yesterday, after laying a chip shot stone dead to the hole for a 4 and then watching D'Arcy Banagan, the club’s assistant pro, knock a 25-foot putt in for a birdie 3. ‘Three golfers who have won tourna- ments about Washington in other years have served notice within the past few days that the younger generation is not to have things all its own way this year.

However, he will appear here mnext week to shoot singles against Camp- bell for the Connecticut All-Stars, who will be guests of the Grand Palace Valet team, and all Jack will collect will be a share of the $1,000 purse it his team wins. The paid athlete in any sport is worth as much as he can draw at the gate, and White undoubtedly would be underpaid at $150 a throw for major matches if bowling _establishments were built to accommodate large gal- lerles. He is a sensational performer and a born showman. Washington fans “ride” him when he’s in front and kid him when he’s behind, and Jack’s come- back one way or the other is always interesting.

F Italy had a player to equal Baron de Morpurgo I should hate to have to say what Davis Cup team in the Euro- pean zone could beat her, outside of France. Morpurgo for four or five years has been one of the outstanding tennis stars of the continent, a player, who, on his day, can make it interesting for any one. Two years ago, in recognition of his Suime in Tialy, Baronde Mormores was ly, n Urgo was made “dictator of tennis” b‘;rg(un-nounl, another way of saying that he was su- preme and a power by himself. Most of the world’s first 10 rankings include him, and he is likely to cut a figure in the 1930 Davis Cup matches. Unfortunately for Italy, however, she has no player in the same rank with Morpurgo, and that was the reason she fell a victim to Germany last year by the score of 3 to 2. Giorgio de Stefani and P. Gaslini are the two next best Italian players. It may be De Stefani will show improvement this year to give a better balanced team.
