A—I4 DISPLAY UNLOOKED- ‘FOR POWER AT BAT = Give Indications in Spaing| i Games of Proving Surprise | in Title Race. BY JOHN B. KELLER. hibition engagements and | the gala opening of the| B major league base ball sea- | son, the Nationals feel their record for Spring training games away from Griffith Stadium is good enough to entitle them to the respect of Washington fan- dom. Their 7-to-6 victory, scored in Baltimore yesterday, over the Orioles, the team they were to meet her# this afternoon, was the fifteenth in seventeen exhibitions on foreign fields, giving Manager Walter Johnson’s charges a record | of which they are justly proud. While the club fielded well and was | blessed with good pitching generally in these Spring games in Dixie and on the way home, the telling factor in the Nationals' success was punch in at- tack. Regarded by many critics who either had watched them in practice or studied them on paper as lacking power at bat to such an extent that they were doomed to failure before they started, the Nationals proceeded to kick | over the dope bucket once the exhibi- tion series was under way. Reserves Also it Well. \ ‘They whacked the ball soundly. much | to the consternation of. the critics as well as opposing teams. Not only were | hits made frequently by Nationals, but | they were hits of no mean proportion. Reserves as well as those figured to be | regulars slammed solidly until batting | averages of pleasing size can be pre- sented. At the outset of training the Na- | tionals were held by many to have lit- | tle potential strength outside the out- field assemblage. The infield was not considered powerful enough with the bat to make any perceptible impres- sion. Yet in the games on foreign fields the members of the inner cordon | demonstrated they are not to be ac- counted mere puppets in offense. They | hit and hit well, too. For the consideration of Washing- ton fandon the batting records for the exhibitions to date of the players who are to be employed regularly in the infield and outfield at least in the early part of the American Leaguc championship campaign have been com- piled. These records reveal that the Nationals have a great chance to sur- prise with their punch in the big busi- ness ahead. | While few of those whose fine marks | are appended are likely to continue at such a dazzling batting pace, their sparkling performances in the Spring tilts give promise of an offensive apt | to make them troublesome to all rivals. Spring Game Statistics. Here are the figures showing the | number of games, times at bat, runs scored, hits made, variety of hits, sac- rifices, runs driven over and averages for each of the eight players Manager J trin}sun plans to use in his outfield and infield: Outfield.

West, a portside swinger, has enjoyed little suc- cess against southpaw slabbing. Loepp, who swings from the right side, has been hitting the left-hapders and has done right well against the orthodox flingers. West is the speedier fielder, but Loepp can go and get 'em also. Now that his arm has come around after a spell of sorencss that kept him | out of action for a time in the South, Buddy Myer is to start at second base with Jack Hayes in reserve. Recently Myer has been playing a snappy game around the middle sack, and while Hayes may be the more polished fielder of the two, Myer gets the call because of his superior stickwork. Buddy fits in with a bunch that is likely to do a deal of socking once the season is under way. o UMPIRES ARE ASSIGNED FOR A. L.

CARNERA IS BARRED FROM MONTANA RING By the Associated Press. BUTTE, Mont.,, April 12.—Primo Carnera, Italian boxer, who has been knocking out opponents almost before the cash customers get comfortably seated, will not be aliowed to fight in Montana. Joe L. Markham of Butte, chairman of the Montana State Athletic Com- mission, today ordered J. A. Livingston, also of Butte, secretary of the com- mission. to notify promoters of the State of a ban on the 270-pound “man mountain.” Sponsors of Carnera’s present West- ern tour recently attempted to schedule a bout for him in this city, but insisted on naming the opponent. Butte pro- moters refused the terms. More re- cently Havre promoters sought the commission’s sanction to a proposed fight for Carnera at that city. CARNERA GETS $50,000 OFFER FROM DEMPSEY CHICAGO, ‘April 12 (P)—Jack Dempsey has offered Messrs. Duffy and See, managers of Primo Carnera, $50,- 000 and a percentage of the gate for an outdoor bout in Chicago some time this Summer. . ‘The former heavyweight champion, however, does not propose to meet the Italian himself, but has lined up George Godfrey, huge Negro, from Leiperville, Pa., as Primo’s opposition. e PAIR OF SWIMMING MARKS ARE BROKEN TOLEDO, Ohio, April 12 (#).—Two world swimming records were broken in a sanctioned A.

Win After Lisk RIOLES they are most of the time, but they fought more like eagles when attacked in their Baltimore lair yes- terday by the Nationals, Fritz Maisel's birds showed plenty of fight, pecking away at the Johnson band so flercely that when the battle was over the big fellows were in the van by only a single counter. That 7-to-6 affray in Oriole Park was the toughest the Nationals have been through in some days. ‘The Nationals started vroudly as though they would overawe the little birds with their clever pitching and solid socking. They hammered the right-handed Henry Wertz so severely that he withdrew after the fourth frame. The Orioles awakened in the latter part of the fourth, though, and clawed Ad Liska fiercely enough to put them within a run of their foes and after the Nationals had pummeled came right back at Liska again to cut the Washington advantage to a mere tally. Only by employing L'oyd Brown on the hill for the last four frames were Johnson's charges able to save the game. ‘The Orioles got 11 hits, just what the Nationals got. But the Baltimoreans got 10 of them off Liska in his last three innings of toll, bunching nine in the fourth and fifth innings. In these two innings everything Ad served seemed sockable, Brown, though, stopped them cold in the sixth by throwing a third strike past each of the three batters to step to the plate and not until the ninth did the Orioles get their lone bingle off the left-hander. Six National hits were made off Wertz and five off Hearn. Two came in the second inning, the first scoring round. Cronin singled, only to be forced out by Judge, but Bluege accounted for two tallies by poking a homer over the left-field barrier. Three hits were mixed Bunny Hearn, southpaw, in the fifth| to Ji Brown Stops Orioles in 7-to-6 a Gets Pounding in the making of two tallies in the third. Powell singled, Goslin walked, and after Myer forced out the Goose, Cronin and Judge singled in succession. ‘Then the Orioles came to life. Stew- art opened their fourth with a single and counted when McGowan doubled. Hauser doubled McGowan home and completed the circuit on two infield re- tirements. Two more singles followed, but Liska braced and struck out Bar- ton, a pinch batter. Goslin's_single, Myer’s infield eras- ure, the Goose's theft of third and a one-baser by Cronin gave the Nationals their first run in round 5. Cronin stole second and counted when Judge doubled. Passes to Bluege and Phelps filled the bases, and Capt. Judge crossed as Liska was thrown out. ‘The Orioles hammered Liska again after two were out in the fifth, Mc- Gowan and Hauser drove successive homers into the right-field bleachers, and Solters and Stroner followed with succeaalve doubles before Sand fouled udge. Johnson sent the youngsters Powell and Phelps into the line-up. Powell played the entire way in right and got one hit. Phelps caught Liska the first five frames. Cronin hit safely the first three times he stepped to the plate, then lofted twice to the outfield. Myer played a sparklin me around the middle sbck.puulthgusl he was charged with an error when he failed to handle a slow roller from Wilson's bat at the start of the fifth. A spectacular double play retired the first two Orioles in the fifth. Myer's fine catch of Stewart’s low liner caught Wil- son off the initial sack. Buddy, out of position, made a hurried heave to Judge. The ball was well wide of the base, but Joe lunged to spear it with one hand and barely managed to keep a toe on the bag. EORGETOWN A.

This size is as it should be and every honest angler will obey the law, but in so doing he is compelled to return to the water many fish under size. In returning these fish to the water many die, some owing to swallowing the hook and others from too rough handling. Anyhow, the fact remains that hundreds of dead trout are reported seen in trout streams in Frederick County. One angler re- ports that in Fishing Creek, which is perhaps better stocked than any other in Frederick County, he saw as many as 15 dead trout on the bottom in different pools. You can't stop a fish from taking a lure when it is offered, but in the opin- jon of this column the fish hatcheries could keep these trout until they are of legal size and then place them in the different streams. over the country are awakening to the fact that mortality among fish is due principally to planting them when too young, fry and fingerlings; an age when they are unable to battle for themselves. ‘The fact that a stream has been well stocked with trout or other fish does not necessarily mean that the stream will become a good fishing place. There are too many things entering into the eternal battle of fish life to take any unnecessary chances on the planted fish surviving them. Three local anglers have visited trout streams in Frederick County twice since the opening of the season. These men have complied with the law by securing their fishing license at a cost of $5.50 each. They fished April 1 and 2 and returned with 11 or 12 trout, but they caught large numbers of them which they returned to the’ water, all being undersized. How many of these fish will eventually die is a problem. Two of the above party returned to Fishing Creek last Saturday and Sunday and reported that they returned to the water about 25 undersized trout. Thou- sands of anglers have been lashing Maryland waters for trout and again there is no telling just how many hun- dreds of undersize trout were caught by them and returned to the water, many to meet & sure death, The Mary- land law for the protection of trout is good, but accord! to the above re- ports the fault lies in planting so many undersize fish. AST Sunday a local angler visited Fishing Creek and caught a trout which swallowed the hook. This angler immediately saw that the fish would 3 a few minutes and despite the fact that it lacked one-third of an inch of of the legal size, instead of throwing it back in the water he put it in his creel. Just as he was landing another fish, this one being 8 inches in length, a game warden ngfen'ed, tor found the one measuring only 6% inches and arrested the angler. Several fishermen were arrested the same day for similar offenses. This column ventures to say that not one of these men had any intention of violat- ing the law. It is true that perhaps a little discretion now and then may be and .so many dead fish would not be seen, is reported that the advance guard of the annual run of white River day.

But history is repeating itself. Just when the fish commence to arrive the river gets muddy. Following the heavy rains of last week the water is very discolored and this drives the fish back. Just as soon as the water clears anglers seeking white perch will be happy, REPORT from Wachapreague, Va., is that croakers or hardheads have made their appearance along with some hog fish and gfish. Nothing, however, was said about any trout hav- ing been caught. The season has been cold and backward and has perhaps delayed the appearance of the large run of big trout. Just a few warm days and it is expected that the run of trout will start in earnest. And when they do there will be pienty of fun for all. Ollie Atlas is watching closely weather conditions and reports from Wacha- preague to govern him on the date to hold his annual excursion. He re- | members all too well the experience encountered year before last when his party ran into a northeaster and could do nothing ‘but return to Washington. Last year, however, favored by good weather, the members of his party “made a killing” and the majority of them are awaiting the word when the next trip will start. Tentatively Ollie has set, May 4 as the date, but if weather conditions continue unfavor- able, the start will be delayed until May 11. Anglers visiting Chesapeake Beach this year will find a new order of things. First of all the name has been changed to Seaside Park.

SEATTLE, April 12—A resounding challenge was hurled today at the pro- spective participants in the coming na- tional Poughkeepsie regatta by the Uni- versity of Washington Huskies who yes- terday scored a clean sweep in the three races of the annual California-Wash- ington crew event. A crowd estimated at nearly 90,000 yesterday witnessed . a thrilling race when the Husky varsity nosed out the California Bears by five feet in a last- minute drive. It was a heart-break- ing race for the Callfornians as they had held the upper hand all the way down the long 3-mile course until the final 300-yard spurt of the Wash- ington veterar Although holly unexpected, the Huskies easlly carried off the junior varsity and freshman races. The Wash- ington Juniors eight trimmed the Bear second boat by nine and one-quarter lengths and _the Husky yearlings trounced the California cubs by seven and one-half mmh»‘ ‘The junior varsity Yace was over the 3-mile course and the freshmen rowed 2 miles. On account of strong headwinds times were very slow compared with Lake Washington records. The Washington Varsity sailed through the choppy water in 17 minutes 46 seconds, compared with the record of 15:58 established in 1916. California covered the dis- tance in only one-fifth of a second slow- er. Washington's Junior Varsity turned the trick in 18:37 and California in 19:14. The Husky freshman boat was clocked in 12:15. y The blue ribbon event, the -varsity race for Pacific rowing supremacy, was a neck-and-neck battle from start to finish, with the California boat set- ting the pace. The Bears captured a quarter-length lead at the start and held it most of the time. Washington challenged the lead three times when they spurted to catch the California Sequoia, t the Bears retaliated with similar dri%gs each time to regain their advantage. The gruelling race was won in the last 300 yards when Washington raised its cadence to 40 strokes per minute to catch the Bear shell at the 100-yard mark and‘then forged into the slight lead which was just enough for victory.

Nats Compile Fine Exhibition Record : A’s and Cubs Overwhelming Favorites Chevy IX golf events for men and women are to be played at the Chevy Chase Club during the period from April 28 to June 5, accord- ing to the Spring golf schedule an- nounced today by the club golf com- mittee. The committee is composed of Robert Stead, jr., chairman; A. Mc- Cook Dunlop and C. Ashmead Fuller. ‘The first event on the Spring pro- gram is the competition for the French High Commission Cup, match play rounds for which will be played from April 28 to May 10, inclusive. Mem- bers of ‘the club started today their qualifying play for the match play rounds and will conclude qualifying on April 26. On the latter date the pair- ings will be made for the first round match, with 32 entrants to qualify and play off at handicap match play on a basis of seven-eighths of the difference in the respective handicaps. The final round will be played May 9 or 10. Chairman Stead today was trying to find some way to obviate the conflict in the dates set for the Spring invita- tion tournament of the Chevy Chase Club with those set for the Spring in- vitation event of the Baltimore Coun- try Club. The Baltimore event start~ on May 15 and ends May 17, while th- Chevy Chase Club tourney starts os May 14 and ends on May 16. The cor flict of dates undoubtedly will prevent many golfers from playing in both tourneys. The week following is an open date on the local schedule, since Indian Spring has abandoned its Spring invi- tation affair for which it had asked the dates of May 20-23, inclusive. The Baltimore club already has sent out its invitations for the tourney, to be played over the Five Arms course, while the invitations have not yet gone out for the Chevy Chase event. In the interest of all concerned, it is to be hoped some way may be found to avoid the con- flict of dates, and Chairman Stead and his committee are earnestly work- ing toward that end. The next event on the Chevy Chase golf calendar is the competition for the Victor Kauffmann Memorial Day Cup, to be played May 30. This is an 18-hole match play against par affair, contestants to use seven-eighths of their club medal play handicaps. Then will follow on June 2, 3, 4 and 5 the competition for the F. Oden Horstmann Memorial Cup, emblematic of the club championship. This is a 72-hole medal play tourney, at scratch. with 18 holes to be played on each of the four days. During the week of May 19 woman golfers of the club will compete in the tourney for the French High Commis- sion Cup. A qualifying round at 18 holes on May 19 will inaugurate this tourney, the 16 low net scores to qualify for the match play rounds on the suc- ceeding four days. Seven-eighths of in_this tourney, ‘While the men are competing in their championship tourney, the women golfers of the club are scheduled to play in the competition for the Siamese Cup on June 2, 3 and 4. This is a 54- hole handicap match play event with 18 holes to be played each day. Miller B. Stevinson, the District amateur champion, looked at a bit of the kind.of golf he usually shoots in a game at Columbia yesterday when Les- ter C.

Columbia is in excel lent condition, but the putting greens are lightning fast. As soon as the touch for them is acquired, the greens are fine to putt on, for they are ab- solutely true. ‘The exhibition match at the Belle Haven Club of Alexandria tom8rrow will start between 1:30 and 2 o'clock, and is open to the public. Miller B. Stevin- son, the District amateur champion, and W. R. McCallum, local amateur, will op- pose J. Monro Hunter and George Dif- fenbaugh, undefeated Indian Spring professional combination. Golfers of the Veterans' Bureau plan to hold a tournament over one of the local courses early in May, according to a decision arrived at yesterday at the annual meeting of golfers of the bureau. Richard A. Bishop was chosen president of the Veterans’ Bureau Golf League, Norman J. Hall, the Bannock- burt port-sider, was chosen vice presi- dent, and Margaret H. Walsh was chosen secretary-treasurer. Francis MacDonald was named chairman of the golf committee, and will be aided by John Upp and Jack Downing in arranging the season schedule. Roland R. MacKenzie plans to visit 1 his parents and have a week end of { golf at Columbia within the next fort- night prior to sailing for England with the Walker Cup team on April 30. Albert R. MacKenzie, father of the Walker Cup team member; W. Carlton Evans and Charles R. Lyddane had luncheon yesterday in Wilmington with Roland on their way back to Wash- ington after a few days of golf at Pine Valley. The Pine Valley course is in excellent condition, according to Mac- Kenzie, and Summer rules are in force.

They are, High Outside, High Inside, Low Outside and Low Inside. A. Keep the ball out of here al- together, except when the catcher calls for a waste ball and then be sure to get it well outside and high. B. Use only fast balls in this area and then only when the batter crowds the plate and grasps the bat at the end. By pliching high and ' inside when you have a strike or two on the batter, you can straight- en him up and prevent him from getting a “toe hold.” C. This area is every batter's weakness, especially on a curve ball ffrom a right-handed pitcher. Keep your curve or, fast ball breaking at or near this cotner and the hitter (will do little damage. D. Keep all curve balls away from this spot. Pitch few fast balls here and if you do, put everything .
