B—8 SPORTS. JOHNSON BELIEVES BUMP NOW PRIED - Gets “Hometown Boy” Ready to Pitch Opener in Hub. Griffs Own Loepp. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HARLOZTE, N. C,, April 7.— When the Nationals tackle the Salem tomorrow Irving Hadley probably will get his final nine-inning hill test of the training season. Manager Walter Johnson believes the chunky Lynn hurler is now in prime condition, | and if he starts tomorrow Hadley | *is not apt to pitch more than five | or six innings thereafter in the| exhibtion series. | With Fred Marberry slated to pitch the season opener in Washington on April 14, Johnson is grooming Hadley | to take over the game the next day| that will usher in the scason in Bos- ton. Bump is eager to get the assign- ment, too, for he considers Boston his home town more or less, although he | actually hails from nearby Lynn. Pitch- ing a big league opencr before his home folks is an ambition he has had for | some time. | Hadley has trained faithfully this | Spring, much harder than in previous years with the Nationals. He is right down to playing weight and has lost no strength in reducing. Heretofore Bump regarded the training routine as | down-right punishment and was in- clined to shirk a bit at times. As a consequence, he failed to get into good | condition for the seasor start. This was especially true of Hadley last year. It is different now, though. Bump this | time gives promise of being the pitcher | he was in 1927, when he led the Amer- ican League moundsmen on the basis of earned runs yielded.

'SANDLOTTERS PLAN FOR A BUSY WEEK Old Man Rain had base ball dia- monds hereabout to himself vesterda; but sandlot tossers were planning today to make up for this lost time without unnecessary delay. Given a good break as to weather the boys will be out every day, at least most of them, this week. Many teams have listed games for next Sunday and realize that more prepping is necessary if they are to make a good showi J. B. Smith has been elected manager of the Western Electric nine. with G. Hunter, business manager. The team is hopeful of improving on its record f last season, which was not at all dis- couraging. A meeting of the District Grocery George Loepp belongs solely to the | Washington ball club, President Clark Griffith declares, despite reports that | Baltimore has a string on the out- fielder it turned over to the Nationals | last Fall. According to Griffith, the| club gave Jim Weaver, pitcher, and Stuffy Stewart, infielder, in addition to a bundle of cash, to the Orioles for George, and there was no provision in the deal whereby Baltimore might re- | claim the player if the Washington club | failed to turn over more cash by April 15. So in all likelihood Loepp will stick with the club for the time being. Myles Thomas and Bob Burke were | to get workouts here today in the sched- | uled tilt with the Braves. Thomas was | apt to go for five innings. He has not | pitched much thus far. but the little | fellow looks far better than he did last | year. He seems stronger. too, and John- | sun believes the club will get much from Thomas this season. Burke has had | right steady work during the training | period and has appeared to advantage | several times. The Boston Club was | expected to draw on Harry Seibold, Bruce Cunningham and Ben Cantwell, right-handers all, for its hurling today. Meeting the Braves yesterday in Chat- Stores nine will be held tomorrow night at 8 o'clock at 1601 Sixteenth street. All players are asked to turn out. Columbian Insects will face St. John's Preps tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 oclock on the West Ellipse diamond. Manager Harvey is listing games for the Columbians at North 9800. Paramount A. C. diamonders are aft- er games with District and out-of-town nines having diamonds. C. W. Denni- son, 5320 Eighth street, is handling challenges.

TRACK DRILLING ON IN PRINCE GEORGES tanooga in the first of the series of five games scheduled with them, the | Nationals registered a 10-to-3 victory. | They pounded two Boston left-handers | for 14 safetfes. getting 9 off Ed Brandt, | who pitched the first five innings, and | the others off Percy Jones. Every man in the Washington line-up except- ing Muddy Ruel socked safely. Joe Cronin, with a homer. the first driven | over the new right-field fence in the Lookouts’ park, a double and a single 1n five tiimes at bat. led the offensive. Lioyd Brown left-handed his way through nine innings for the first time this Spring and after the first three of them gave a nifty exhibition. He yield- ed a dozen hits, nine of them in the| first three sessions, when the Braves seemed able to sock anything he sent up to the plate. His other hits were spread over the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds. His control was good. But one pass was given out by him, and | that in the second inning. Hop on Brown. ‘The Braves greeted Brown warmly, the first three to face him hitting safe- ly. Neun beat out a bunt toward third, Dunlap singled and so did Welsh and this combination meant a run. Three more hits rattled off Boston bats in the second inning and another tally resulted. Rhiel singled and crossed when Maranville doubled. Then a pass to Ken Smith and Brandt's single crowded the sacks. Brown got out of this tough spot, though, for Neun forced out Maranville at the counting block and Dunlap drilled into a double lay. 'ghe third inning saw the Braves chalk up a third marker. Welsh launched the attack this time with a single to center. After Moore hoisted out Berger bounced a two-bagger off the right-field barrier and Welsh went home. When Rhiel singled, Berger | tried to score, but was turned back by | the throw in and then run down. Myer Starts Rally. Not until the third inning were the Nationals able to get anywhere at Brandt's expense, but then they matched the full Boston count. Myer whacked a triple with one gone and scored when Bluege singled after Judge had popped to the shortfielder. Cronin then made the count even with his loft over the right-field fence. Two more markers gleaned off Brandt in the fourth. Rice doubled and Goslin tripled against the top of the score- board in right center. Myer drew a pass and Judge scratched a single by the pitcher to tally the Goose. ‘When they came up for their sixth batting turn the Nationals found Jones opposing them and they made his get- away rough. From top to bottom, the entire batting list faced the newcomer and with four hits, a wild pitch, a passed ball and an error collected five runs. The only thing the Nationals failed to make use of in the round was the one pass Jores issued. Loepp singled as a starter and Powell scratched a one-baser. A wild pitch advanced both runners, but Locpp was caught at the plate when Goslin bound- ed to the pitcher. The Goose stole second and tallied with Powell when Myer doubled. Buddy crossed as the second sacker of the Braves let Judge's grounder go through and' after Bluege went out Cronin’s dou- ble put Judile over. Cronin stole third, and as Spohrer, Boston catcher, let a UPPER MARLBORO, Md., April 7.— Boys and girls of the Prince Georges County schools now are energetically preparing for the annual championship track meets to be held next month.

The average golfer cannot alone quite solve the problem of playing a ball that lies on the fairway below his level; that is, one where he is above the ball. Nine out of ten times he dubs it, even if he has had good, but Mmited, instruction. The rub in the situation is not normal. Suppose, for example, that John- ny Farrell, a master shot-maker, were to try to play such a shot as he is here sketched. That is Far- rel's normal iron swing. Wha’ YoU'LL NEVER SEE FARRELL pitch slip past him the runner con- tinued home. Ruel walked, but Brown ended the round with a bounder to the first baseman. Three double plays were engineered Dby the Nationals yesterday at Chat- tanooga. Goslin again initiated one, making a great throw to the plate to nai! his man after executing a diving catch. Oronin’s homer was a terrific drive. fight fleld in the Lookouts' park is deep. It is 328 feet along the foul line from tne plate to the fence, and the fence is 20 feet high.

BRADENTON, Fla, April 7 (#).— ‘With only a day or so left to spend in Florida, members of the St, Louis Cardinals were eager to grab a rat- tler for Sportsman Park, where they will spend & couple of days for ac- climation before tackling the Browns in the annual city series Saturday and Sunday.

LOS ANGELES, April 7 (#).—Cali- fornia today had seen the last of the Chicago Cubs until some time next year.
