QU T FITH N ROW Defeats Villanova, 36 to 26, in Last Six Minutes of Exciting Contest. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ITH interest in the 1932 | edition of the Nationals| already at high pitch, President Clark Griffith gives Washington fandom some- thing more to buzz about. The latest hand-out from the office of the boss of the Capital's big league ball club reveals the per- sonnel of the squads that are to report at the Biloxi, Miss,, train- ing camp on February 21 and March 6—dates hitherto an- nounced. Only 27 players in all to report, a slender lot, but with few rook- jes. There may be some hold- outs, but Prexy Griffith has yet to hear from any. Five weeks from today an even dozen moundsmen now on the Washington | ball club’s reserve list is expected to be | at hand at Biloxi, together with three catchers at least, and all set to get | down to work on February 22 under | the direction of Manager Walter John- | son, Trainer Mike Martin and a brace | of coaches. Yes, sir, we are right on| the verge of another season of that| great American sport—base ball. | Two weeks after the pitchers and | catchers start their training grind the remainder of the club will fall in line with six infielders and as many out- fielders due to report. So as a club the Nationals will have had six days of practice before their first Spring ex- hibition game, that with Baltimore of the International League at Biloxi on Sunday, March 13. And Tegard that date for starting practice—February 22. The anniver- sary of the birth of George Washing- ton. May be a favorable omen. This | year the Nation is celebrating the Bi- | centennial of the birth of the Father | of His Country. A great Washington year. Ought to be a great Washington ball club t00. | CCORDING to President Clark Griffith’s announcement, the pitch- | ing squad to report at Biloxi Feb-| ruary 21 will include five veterans, two hurlers with_considerable minor league experience, three other minor products | who have not had much seasoning, and | a pair of sandlotters Veteran holdovers from previous ‘Washington campaigns are Al Crowder, Fred Marberry, right-handers, and the trio of southpaws, Lloyd Brown, Carl Fischer and Bob Burke. The two im- | pressive minor greduates are Monte | Weaver, the orthodox moundsman bought from Baltimore, and Lynn Grif- | fith. left-hander picked up from Jop- lin of the Western Association and farmed to Chattanooga after a trial at Biloxi last Spring Tre three other minors scheduled to start training are Frank Ragland and Bob Friederichs, both right-handers and brought up frcm Washington's | Chattanooga farm, and Mike Delaney, also a righthander and purchased re cently from Youngstown of the Mid- dle Atlantic League Sandlotters to get_their first taste of training under big league auspices are John Boyle, who has hurled for semi- pro teams in and around Bayonne, N. J, and Luther Thomas, last season with the Olmstead Grill nine of this city. Both are right-handers. Boyle wa- taken in tow after being seen in action by Manager Johnson last Sum- mer NFORMATION from Washington club headquarters tells that this squad of hurlers will be handled in training by Roy Spencer, the Nationals' first string Teceiver; CHff Bolton, who last ysar served his first full season with the | club, and Pat Gharrity, still carried on the roster as an active catcher, but who really is a coach Spencer may be among the missing | at Biloxi, however, as he is reported | not satisfied with terms offered him for | this season and ready to hold out to the bitter end. Spencer was a promi- nent hold-out in 1930, never reporfing at training camp and not accepting terms until the day the championship | season opened. He may repeat this year Although the list of catchers sched- | uled to report February 21 at Biloxi does not include the name of Zach Almond, the former Quantico Marines Teceiver probably will be among those present. It would be an easy matter for Washington to lift him from its Chattanooga farm and Manager John- son thinks well of having Almond around ALPH BOYLE ardener bought from cruit among the infielders and out- | flelders listed to report at Biloxi on March 6. He will be in company with Joe Kuhel, Joe Judge, Buddy Myer, Joe Cronin, Ossle Bluege and Johnny Kerr, infielders, and Heinie Manush, Sam West, Carl Reynolds, Sam Rice and s, outfielders and Kerr. however, will be hington uniforms’ for the as they came to the club only this Winter in the trade with the White Bump Hadlev.

West may be asked to report a little before March 6, that Trainer Martin may have a look at that left arm, which troubled the outfielder so much last sea- son. Although West and those in charge of the club are rather certain an opera- tion performed on the arm the past Fall put it in sound condition no chances are to be taken. AD news for the holdouts All is well B with the Washington club, so far as business zoes, but after the books of last year were checked no divi- dend was declared. So the stockholders jearned at the club's recent annual meeting Other than hearing the financial re- port. the stockholders did nothing more than re-elect Grifith president, Bill Richardson vice president and Eddie Eynon secretary.

W. coasted in to maintain its season’s perfect record. Although George Washington at one stage in the first half held a 6-point advantage, for the most part play | was even with the teams only a few | points apart. At the intermission the | count was deadlocked at 18-18.

That difference occurred in _the singles match when the peerless Ray Barnes, Baltimore's screeching- 1y hot wood gatherer smoked his way to a 94-pin lead over the only smoldering Reds Megaw of Wash- ington. Barnes sprang into the lead at the start of the battle and kept his speed all through the match, making the crimson-thatched wood warrior of the District bite his dust for the full distance. But the vermillion-pate baby from this balliwick took off the brakes in the doubles encounter and, paired with the sweetest bowler your boy friend has ever lamped, Ollie Pacini of Washing- ton, began to steam up Mr. Blick’s al- leys in such a fashion that, when the doubles war ended, the Washington pair was 54 pins out in front, but not enough to make the day unanimously the District’s. Mr. Barnes is a champion, playmates; no doubt of that. When he garnered the United States sweepstakes at Balti- more recently it went to a bowler who is no prune in the turkey. He is a wood gatherer par excellence, with plenty of grace and rhythm in his de- livery, and lots of cenfidence under his hat. He took Reds Megaw yesterday afternoon by taking the lead.

While Ray is good he is not spectacu- lar. The money-winning champion of the season to date possesses, however, that mark of all titleholders, ease of motion. Gentlemen, when I say ease of motion I mean it. That boy acts as it he has been thoroughly oiled and greased before each toss. You can't hear a creak or a swish as he tosses his leg around to get that southpaw flip down the glistening boards. But he was not the big shot on the alley when it came to color and accu- racy, to my dimming mind. No, sir, pal, that Ollie Pacini is the blue-eyed baby of the pack or I've never seen a bowler. He cannot only get his wood with that initial shot at the head pin, but he can clean up in the wake of the first shot better than an old mountaineer potting a raccoon on the top oranch of a pine. Splits which would have given many bowlers gray hairs and nervous jumps, were popped over neatly by the Dixie Sweepstakes winner. When Ollie sighted a No. 7 pin trying to appear as if the No. 3 pin was as far away as Mars, he clipped that three-pin on the Wwhiskers and made it go over and shake hands with the amazed and bewildered No. 7 wood. | In the meanwhile Reds Megaw began to get warm under the collar and his | you are going to find in a month of hard searching.
