His hit-| ting prowess, which is undisputed in the | light of his .333 average which led the entire team last year and his eradica- tion of his former weakness against left- handed pitching, is ov his fielding ability. E Clark Griffith makes no qualifications in describing West as the best center- fielder in the league and he expressed extreme gratification this morning when in company with Walter Johnson he watched the centerfielder go through the motions of pegging the ball with all the ease of his halcyon years and with as much zip as can be expected at this stage of the year. Salary Not Divulged. 1In accordance with the belief express- ed by Griffith last night, no difficulty was encountered in reaching terms with West in a brief conference today, al-| though the owner would not divulge the extent of hissalary. He intimated, how- | ever, that West had escaped the general | wage-cutting in vogue and perhaps had been given a substantial increase due to his brilliant season of 1931 despite the | fact that he was bothered considerably by a growth on his throwing arm. ‘West was in uniform for the first time today. The workout was cut short by rain, although batting practice was the only item on the regular routine that | was missed. The rainfall marked the first time this season that the Nationals’ practice has been interrupted by the weather and with the progress the team has made in the two weeks here, it was felt no harm had been done. Tomorrow-will be the last Sunday of | rest for tHe Griffs with exhibition es scheduled on every Sabbath thereafter. With most of the veterans already at camp, the Nationals will be able to present a familiar line-up for the opening game here with Baltimore on March 13, but it is expected that with the exception of two or three| posts, a rookie nine will be seen in| action. | “Except for the pitchers, ball play- ers do not need a long period of train- ing,” said Griffith today. “The trend | among the players of today is to keep | in shape virtually all Winter by some{ form of exercise and it is rare when a Veteran reports very much out of con- dition. The pitchers, though, have got to take it slowly. | Pitchers Well Advanced. | “We've completed two weeks of train- | ing and I've néver seen & group of | itchers so well advanced. They gl\'en't cut loose yet, but every man on the squad will be ready to take a turn on the mound by Sunday. They | won't pitch more than three innings aplece, though. I don’t know yet ether we’ll work the veterans or the rookies in the opening game.” | Manager Walter Johnson continues to be the hardest working man in uni- | form, setting the pace for the pitchers in throwing practice and the fungo| men in outfleld drill. He is undis- putedly the champion jogger of them all and leads the rookies a merry pace around the big Biloxi park. Johnson 18 a great bellever in road work to strengthen the legs and is a diligent taskmaster in overseeing the work of his men in that respect. Today's rain put a damper on the afternoon’s fishing and the lobby was alive with beknickered ball players. The casino game of Johnson and Schacht in a far corner drew a large gallery and ! gave evidence of continuing far into the night with Schacht having & win- | n\n& streak of eight straight to his| t. Johnny Friedrich, Mike Delaney, Johnny Boyle and Monte Weaver pun- ished the ping-pong ball in the game room and Patsy Gharrity and Eddle Ainsmith were locked in a duel of three- cushion billiards. Griff’s Golf is Halted. Mr. Griffith reported that the rain this afternoon deprived him of his golf for the first time since he arrived here 30 days ago and he was meandering from group to group in fatherly fash- | \ son. Something of a record has been set by the total absence of injuries. Not @ sore arm has been reported among the pitchers, a remarkable commentary in ftself. But the risk of injury will be greater start t week when the second b ars arrive and get into unifor Longer batting drills and running the bases will then be in vogue and it is on_the bases that 50 per cent of the injuries are suffered, according to Mike Martin, the trainer, who has been a trainer in the big lcagues for 28 years, man and boy, and always attached to the same club as Griffith. WOLVERINES SCORE IN TRIANGULAR MEET By the Associated Press ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 5.— Michigan ended its preliminary track season unbeaten here tonight by out- classing Illinois and Ohio State in a triangular event. ‘The scores were: Michigan, 67!¢; Ilinois, 36l2; Ohio State, 30. The result stamps the Wolverines as one of the favorites for the Big Ten indoor meet at Chicago next Saturday, in which they are the defending cham- plons. Jack Kellar, brilliant Ohio State sophomore, was the star of the eve- ning. He topped the high hurdles in 8 seconds flat, a large fraction better than the Yost Field house mark, and tfed the low hurdle mark of :07.3. He toppled a barrier in the high events n:lovtllnot get credit for the record. Michigan’s mile relay team set the one field house record of the meet, es- gablishing a mark of 3:22.9.

HACK SLUGS SOUNDLY AS CUBS BEAT GIANTS Chicago Rookie Pounds Brace of Triples in His Club’s 6-to-1 Exhibition Win. By the Associated Press. AVALON, Calif., March 5.—The Chi- cago Cubs and the New York Giants clashed in what was.the initial 1932 game for each team here today, and the Cubs handed the forces of John Mc- Graw a 6-to-1 defeat. There was joy in the training camp of Rogers Hornsby, not so much be- cause of the victory, but because of the heavy hitting displayed by a young man on whom the Cubs will count heavily this season. Stanley Hack, third base- man, blasted out two triples, the best showing made by any player. | The Cubs nicked three Giant pitchers, Chaplin, Schumacher and Turner, for 10 hits, while the New York team Was able to gather no more than 6 hits against the Cubs’ pitchers, Warneke and | Baecht.

BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. IAMI, Fla., March 5.—The world champion Cardinals put on an exciting finish today to pull the opening game of the Spring “world series” out of the fire and beat the Philadelphia Athletics, 6 to 5, in 10 innings. | A home-run drive over the right-fleld fence in the first half of the extra frame by Jim Collins, first-base understudy, | settled the issue in favor of St. Louis | after a three-run rally tied the score in | the ninth. The big blow in the nlnth‘ was delivered by Lee Cunningham, rookie third sacker, whose double brought in two runs, with two out, and sent the game into overtime. Pepper Makes Big Hit. A crowd of 2000 fans, including President William Harridge of the American League, turned out for the opening exhibition game of the Florida training season. Pepper Martin, hero of the last world- series triumph of the Cardinals, was the big attraction. He got one big hit, a triple in the seventh, and tied the score for the first time, but on three other | occasions he fanned. Pepper had a chance to be the hero when he came up | in the eighth with the bases full, but he | fell a strikeout victim of Jimmy De- | shong. The rival pennant clubs put up a| hard-fought battle, despite the nhsence,’ on each side of a half dozen stars, in- | cluding Grove, Earnshaw, Corchrane, | Simmons, Gelbert, Frisch, Hafey and | ‘Wilson. | Mack Rookie Clouts. ‘The Athletics, led by their recruit outfielder, Ed Coleman, up from Port- land, Oreg., outhit the world champions, 14 to 7, but twice were held runless after filling the bases. Coleman collect- ed four straight hits after striking out in the first inning. Jimmy Dykes and Mule Haas gathered three hits apiece. Collins wielded the big stick for the Cardinals after George Watkins tallied the first run on a homer, off Lew Krausse, in the sixth. Collins brought Martin home with the tying run in the seventh after the A's had gained a 2-t0-0 lead in the first three innings off Ray Starr, the Rochester recruit. Again in the ninth Collins led a rally that tied the count. His single, followed by a low throw by Dib Williams on Ford’s grounder, Gonzale's long fly, a pass to Parham and Cunningham’s pinch double to right accounted for three runs. Athletics. AB.

EW YORK, March 5.—New | N won the team title of the intercollegiate indoor track York University tonight and field meet with a total of 31 | points, the one-mile Violet relay team topping off the evening with world-record equaling victory in the final event of the program. Joseph F. Healy, Sid Schleffar, Milton Sandler, and Harry Hoff- man, running in that order in the mile relay, tied the world mark of 3:17.8, set last year by the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania was second tonight Holy Cross third, Bill Carr "nem'm"g Bernie McCafferty to the finish line by a step. Colgate was fourth, but was dis- qualified because of the action of Horace Whitney, Colgate anchor man, in elbowing on the last turn, and Georgetown was moved up to fourth place, with Harvard fifth. The point Harvard picked up gave it second place in the team score, with 24 to 23!, for Pennsylvania. Charles Summerill ~of Princeton, doing a double in the hurdles and the broad jump, won the latter event with a leap of 22 feet 9 Mnches to defeat Henry Updegrove of New York Uni- versity by 5% inches. Michael Andursky of Penn was third, Oscar Sutermeister of Harvard, who also doubled in the pole vault, fourth, and David Burns of Cornell, fifth. Sum- merill's leap was a foot and three- eighths of an inch behind the meet record Everett Utterback of Pittsburgh set_last year. Frank Nordell, returning to the track after only a half-hour rest for his blis- tering mile, ran himself out to give New York University the two-mile re- lay, beating Bredan Maynahan of Bos- | ton College to the wire in a diving fin- ish. The time was 7:48, seven seconds | behind the world record of George- town’s 1925 quartet.

Weinstein's time was 7:2 seconds. Record Retains Title. Eugene (Red) Record of Harvard re- tained his title in the 70-yard high hurdles in a_ finish with Arthur Mac- Donnell of Holy Cross which was so close it took the officials several min- utes to decide the Crimson runner had won. The time of 88 seconds was slow. Charles Summerill of Princeton was third, George Lockwood of Yale, fourth, and John Janis, foot ball star, fifth. Joe McCluskey of Fordham, running with a stop watch in his hand, won the 2-mile run two-tenths of a second under his meet mark of 9:17.8 set last year, but far short of the 9:10 he had | set as his goal.

The time shaved three seconds off Coan’s meet record, made last vear and was within four-tenths of a reco~: of the old world indoor record held by Joie Ray and Paavo Nurmi, which Gene Venzke twice broke this Winter in set- ting the new standard at 4:10.
