BY DENMAN THOMPSON, Sports Editor, The Star. ILOXI, Miss, March 21.— Despite the sorry showing of his Nationals at bat thus far, Walter Johnson pro- fesses to be well satisfied with the results attained to date in prep- ping for the opening of the Ameri- can League championship cam- paign a little more than three wecis hence. The manager’s optimism could not be attributed to the fact it was the first| day of Spring, according to the calen- dar, for the sky was overcast for the most part, the bit of chill in the air was accentuated by a rather high breeze and altogether the weather was more suitable for gridiron activitics than base ball. “Aside from the fact the boys are not hi , things are shaping up nicely for us,” the pilot asserted. “For one thing, there are no casuals in camp. We have gotten by without any one being hurt. ‘That's a lot to be thankful for and the fact they all are pretty well limbered up now reduces the likelihood of any s injuri:s. “Generally speaking, there is little to bemtr::]n:me 'axxotp{n{‘:ew:um- dition, WO or ‘ee Of \yers being bur&ned with too much weight, and the spirit of the entire gang is .

By the time we leave here I will be very much surprised if they are not all connecting with the ball with normal regularity, and we may not have to walt thst long, for théy are likely to break through any day, and once they get started they will keep on going. All in all the situation looks good.” WI'I'H the Louisville club scheduled for the opposition here again to- morrow, Marberry, Crowder and Jones are due to get their first shots at box work this year, toiling in three-in- ning shifts for the regulars while the , under the direction of Coach Gharrity, are contesting with the Moblle Marines at Mobile.

The finish was typical of Sarazen’s| last-minute scoring rushes. | Breaking a tie that ran up to the| sixty-eighth hole, the shining-faced | Gene picked up a stroke a hole on the last three of the 72 holes to win the| match and its $5,000 first money after days of play. Gene sank eight birdies in the last 18 holes, calling upon his putter and short iron clubs to place him three strokes in the lead of Armour. His last | 18 holes was accomplished to the tune | { of a brilliant 32—34—66, within one stroke of the record established last| year. | Gene's score for the tournament was | | 68—71—77—66—282. Armour’s 285, worth $2,500 second- place money, was followed at a three- stroke interval by the 288 of Light | Horse Harry Cooper, Chicago. Johnny Farrell, winner of the event in 1928, was in fourth place with a 290, while Joe Kirkwood, New York, with 291, was fifth. Ed Dudley, Wilmington, Del, and Joe Turnesa, Elmsford, N. Y. were tled in next place with 202 apiece. A trio of Wiffy Cox, Brooklyn; Walter Hagen, Detroit, and Densmore Shute, Columbus, Ohio, were one stroke be- hind Dudley and Turnesa. Willie Klein, Wheatley Hills, L. I, and Walter Kozack, North Hills, L. I, were tied at 204, with a quartet stand- ing next in line with 295’s. The latter were: Henri Ciuci, Bridgeport, Conn.; Bl Mehlhorn, New York, defending champion; Clarence Gamber, Detroit, and Frank Walsh, Chicago.

TATE COLLEGE, Pa, March 21 (#)—Navy's sluggers cargled off the team title in the annual Eastern Boxing Association champlonships tonight for the fourth time’in eight years with a total of 20 points, but split individual honors with Western Maryland. ‘The Midshipmen punched their way to top honors in only two divisions, the lightweight and heavyweight classes, but three second places and one third piled up the winning total. ‘The Green Terrors from Western Maryland counted 15 points with two individual title-holders, the new mid- dleweight and light heavyweight kings, plus one second place and two thirds. Syracuse, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Penn State, the de- fending champlon, took one champion- ship aplece. Western Maryland, dark horse of the meet, had a chance to tie Navy for the team' title, when the heavyweight final, Ludwig Pincura, clever mountaineer, strove to even pressure, but he could match the aggressiveness and punching power of Frank Crinkley, Navy husky. Crinkley pounded out a decision victory and with his conquest went the team title to the Midship- men. Navy was forced to forfeit the final bout in the 175-pound class to Ekai- tis of Western Maryland when Andrews developed a case of flu. Andrews was credited with the three points for second place, though Hall and Davis, who lost final bouts, were the others to earn three points, while Fitzgerald of the Middies got one for a third place. ‘The defeat of Davis of Navy by Bru- baker of Western Maryland was the big surprise of the tourney, as the Middy the night before had stopped Maron, Syracuse’s sensational boxer.
