BY TOM DOERER. ILOXI, Miss., March 12.— Carl Reynolds, the tall| Texan with the mighty right-hand punch and push, | a very tough wallop if you listen to the chatter down here in gos- sipland, gets the opportunity to- morrow to show the natives and his fellow players what a good man can do when he gets a grip on the shillalah. Carl bats fifth in Walter Johnson's starting line-up against Fritz Maizel's Baltimore Orioles down on Biloxi Fleld. It will be the opening grape- fruit contest for both ciubs, and some- what of a test of the eariy competitive spirit of your Nationals. Other than the pitcners. the names in the line-up are just aoout the same as when you missed your supper last season to see the boys pull a late one out of the fire. Buddy zryer will blaze the trail, Rice, West, Cronin, Reynolds, Kuhel, Bluege and Bolton will follow, with the big boy from Chattanooga, Rags Ragland, flipping over the pitches. Others to Show, Too. But when the old ball gets moving more rapidly, Johnnie Kerr will step into Bluege's place to give the former Chisox his first opportunity to work in National harness; Boyle will go out into the outfield, Joe Judge wiil take up the first-base position and Maple will get the wind-pad on behind the plate. Then the other rookie picchers, Lynn Griffith and Bob Priedrich, will follow. Or, it is possible, Bob Friedrich will draw the center assignment in the pitching cast. Manush will draw a byc for a few days, account of being fa:, and Spenger will decorate the bench so nis youthful understudies can be inspected. Roy Van Grafian, the umpire, is due tomorrow morning to omiciate in the first of the tussles, whiie ceremon.es will open the combat, in which Mayor osonn Kenncdy of Bloxi wiil skid out the first pellet. A pecping sun just came out in time tris mcrning to save rom cmacking to -les B.loxi's record of having enaJ'ed the Grius to never miss a prac- tice day in thoir three years here.

Throwing and fleeting around the pil- lows was the major part of the drill. Everybody but Sammy West pulled through without a hitch. Sammy got in the way of one of Walter Johnson's pitches and went to the club house with a bruised leg. But it was not serious enough for Walter to call him out ot tomorrow's line-up. Moe Berg, the new catcher, came into camp this morning, looking a bit heavy. He went out for the session at the ball | park and took it easy. Dave Harris is due this evening and Camp Griffith then will have its full quota, unless| some of those rumored trades take | place. In this event there may arrive an extra pitcher or two, some catchers, and a utility infielder, but that is just 8 portion of banana oil. Not meaning, however, that Griff wouldn’t take a m:her, a catcher and an infielder for self any time there is on: around. Hist to a Figger Filbert. I have just had a visit from a Figger Filbert, who shows me with a lot of | dots and a hat full of ciphers where the Nationals were the best defensive base ball club in the American last year; where they ne>d only the Tecovery of Manush's and Cronin’s bat- Hng eye, an extra infielder and some help on the part of Monte Weaver and Ragland, Griffith and Friedrich to give the club a top position in the race. This young man can show me with a pencil, some paper and an argumenta- tive tone, where Clark Griffith got him- self just what the doctor ordered when he snared Raynolds from tke White Sox and unloaded Sam Jones, Bump Had- | ley and Jackie Hayes upon them. | Yes, sir, in no time at all he proves | that a pitching staff of Lloyd Brcwn, | Bobby Burke, Gen.

Using Mirrors Might Help. In losing Hadiey and Jones, Griff dropped 20 ball games off this year's list. But Weaver, Rags, Griffith and Friedrich will give him them right back again and there stands none other than Mr. Reyaolds, who pelted in 77 runs last year, ready to deliver much better for dhe Griffs. So Mr. Reynolds is that womething extra that cost us a flag et year. 3ut you can figure that out for your- 1. And also consider when you get eround to the figurfng that Cronin and Manush dropped off some 50 points ce last year, Kuhel batted for but .269, and that with two of the trio coming back to 1930 form you can add 4 mess of percentage points to the clicking of the Nationals. Listen to my pal here and get your- seif down for a flock of world series tickets. Let him tell you that if the Griffs can get another pitcher and a uiility infielder, then there will b> no use in the Athletics and the Yanks opening up at all this season.

ILLY EVANS may prove BY DENMAN THOMPSON. correct in his prediction Cleveland will finish ahead of Washington in the pennant parade this year, but the reasons he advances are not very convincing. The genial general manager of the Indians, who will take the field with practically the same line-up they had last season, cheerfully asserts they will be a ‘“‘changed ball club,” but fails to elaborate. They Also Lost 20. N regard to the Nationals he declares: “Washington threw away 20 games when it traded Jones and Hadley to Chicago.” That figure represents the number of victories this brace of boxmen turned in as Griff- men last year, but it also hap- pens to be the exact total of defeats charged against them. In other words, Sam and Bump, collectively, were no bet- ter than .500 performers on the mound, a mark that Marberry, Burke, Crowder, Fischer and Brown all excelled. Winners Are Retained. HIS quintet again will be on the job here, with the outlook bright for a better collective effort, due to the un- precedentedly fine early form displayed by Fred and the Gen- eral, who didn't start to func- tion effectively until the 1931 campaign was nearly two months old. Monte Weaver, a big shot on the mound in the International League last year, reasonably may be expected to bag 10 tilts, and if Frank Ragland, Lynn Griffith and Bob Friedrich, be- tween them. can't account for another 10, Walter Johrson will be greviously disappointed. Reynolds in Picture, Too. ND how about Carl Rey- rolds, the bait used in luring Jones and Hadley to_Chicago? The Nationals last season dropped many a tight tilt for lack of a bit of extra punch. ‘The big glugger from the White Sox will' supply this, and it is not illogical to anticipate i's bat alone will turn the tide in upward of a score of battles. What the Nationals possess that the Indians lack is bal- ance. The Tribe is well fixed for punch in the outfield and is adequately manned back of the plate, but aside from Wes Ferrell, it possesses no hurler of more than ordinary ability. Missing, a Shortstop. HEN, as far as can be ob- served, Peck has not suc- ceeded in landing a real shortstop, something he has been after almost as long as Washington sought that right- hand slugging outfielder, final- ly obtained in Reynolds. If the Indians’ infield again proves as sievelike as it was last year they may slip a notch instead of climbing in the race. Evans had a high average in guessing through his quarter of a century of umpiring, but he used to ‘em once in a while, and in placing Cleveland ahead of Washington I think he’s done it again.

The program calls for the colonel to demand the Babe sign for one year at $70,000, a cut of $10,000, and for Ruth to counter with a request for at least $75,000 for one year, or a contract for two years at $70,000. Ir any event, Ruth will take a re- duction from his previous $80,000. Ruppert has sald flatly he will not consider signing the home run king for two years at any figure, although it is possible he may compromise with the Babe on one year terms. yards ahead of the field.

BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. T. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 12—Aside from the unex- pected blow the weather dealt this week to all the major league base ball clubs training in the South, the out- standing wallops appear so far to have been absorbed by the world champion Cardinals. It was embarrassing enough when John Leonard (Pepper) Martin struck out three times in his first game of 1932. Likewise, it was disconcerting when Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean, of whose pitching prowess so much been broadcast, fell a victim to the Athletics’ barrage of home runs, and the A's wound up with two triumphs in the first three exhibition games of the Spring world series. The situation became actually mortify- ing, however, when St. Louis was hand- ed the whitewash brush by Cincinnati, the cellar club of the National League. Card Holdouts Stubborn. On top of zll this, Charley Gelbert, the shortstop that the Cardinals need no more than their risht eyes, has re- mained the most stubborn of holdouts. So has Chick Hafey, the league batting champion. The chain store has its virtues, but the present situation demands the re- turn of the Cardinal regulars in full force if they are to escape further an- noyance in Florida, and, what is more important, avoid being short of form for the season’s opening. Ford and Delker have not made the folks around Bradenton forget Prisch and Gelbert. Already, other National League clubs, girding themselves for one of the cir- cuit’s Dbitterest seasons, have caught encouragement on the rebound from the showing of the Cardinals in early trials. Brooklyn, not far away, has manu- factured fresh hope under the rigid regime of Max Carey. The Dodgers no longer are a mere pleasantry in the | grapefruit belt. They act like a serious | group of athletes, instead of just the | life of the party. | From far off California come the | echoes of serious gestures by the New York Giants and Chicago Cubs. Sight unseen, many of the experts already are picking the house of McGraw to make it very tough indeed for the Cardinal crew. Street Not Worrying. “What prospects so far have the Cardinals of offsetting the loss of Burleigh Grimes or of finding a utility infielder as handy as Andy High?" they are asking. “Grimes was their ace last year when it came to the critical games with leading rivals.” Gabby Street is willing to let the | alarm be sounded so long as he is con- | vinced he still holds aces back to back. |His club has barely been at half | strength so far in exhibition games, | minus_three-fourths of the regular in- field, Jimmy Wilson behind the bat and Chick Hafey in the outfield. | “I'm not worrying,” says Street. “I'll | feel happier when I see fellows like Gelbert here, but we still have a month | to get going. We haven't been hitting | and the weather has turned bad. When ‘tne gang’s all here we will be ready o go.” BIG TEN SW!M MARKS | GO AS MICHIGAN WINS New Records for 100, 220 Free Style and Medley Relay Set in Ohio State Pool. BY the Associated Press.

Johnny Schmeiler of Michigan shat- tered his own Big Ten mark in the 220- {hird, Kansas Yard free style by one-tenth of a sec- | ond, making the distance in 2:17.3. The Michigan medley relay team. composed of Drysdale, Lemak and Kennedy, ac- | | counted for the other cracked record, swimming the distance in 3:10.4. The old time was 3:12.6, made by Michigan in_1931. | Wentworth Lobdell of Iowa set two new marks in the fancy diving event, |one by winning the championship for the third successive year, and, second- |ly. by piling up the amazing total of | | 119.9 points, edging out Dick Degener of Michigan by a little more than 7 points. The Wolverines won five first places | in the eight-event program to have | |clear sciling; Northwestern took two firsts and Towa one. By virtue of sev- eral seconds and thirds, Minnesota fin- ished fourth with 12 points and Ohlo and Illinois tled for fifth with 5 each. Purdue, Chicago and Indiana failed to score, while Wisconsin was not repre- | cented. Wilcox and Highland. both of North- western, furnished the thrill of the eve- ning when they finished so close to- gether in the 100-yard free-style event | | that several judges called it a dead heat, both clipping eight-tenths of a second 'nfl the old mark. However, split-second stop-watches gave the race to Wilcox. Lee of Yale Sets Pole Vault Mark | ITHACA. N. Y, March 12 (#— Ted Lee of Yale set up a new intercollegiate indoor record for the pole vault here tonight as the Elis' track and fleld stars defeated Cornell in their annual dual meet, 60 to 53.

Show at College Park Re- plete With Action. BY R. D. THOMAS. ITCHIE COLLISEUM, Col- lege Park, Md., March 12.— A string of ring victories that had endured through | two years of college boxing came ;to a not ignoble end when Danny | Pyne of Catholic University lost a | 3-round decision to Ray Jefferies, | Philadelphia light-heavyweight, in one of the feature bouts of East- |ern A. A. U. championships here tonight. | The climax of a wild and wooley evening came, however, when Duke Crinkley, intercollegiate champion last year while at the Naval Academy, got | the nod over Jack Moran of Phila- delphia though almost out on his feet at the finish. Pyne Not Outclassed. Pyne was clearly outpointed, but the margin of defeat was close enough to leave the Cardinal still a candidate for the American Olympic team. He | fought at a distinct disadvantage. His | opponent was almost a head taller and | Jefferis’ reach made it a problem for the Cardinal to get in close. | In the second round Pyne was slightly staggered with a right to the chin, but nearly matched it with an overhead left, Pyne's only effective ‘weapon, Crinkley won & small edge in the | first round and took the second with plenty to spare, but he was near dis- aster in the final when Moran nailed ‘hlm with both mitts on the jaw and | face. The naval ensign plainly was | sroggy as hostilitles closed and the gallery, numbering more than 3,000, although eager for a Crinkley victory, disagreed with the decision, It was Moran'’s first defeat in 16 bat- tles. Crinkley never has lost. Baltimore Boys Score. It required one round for Sammy Herman of Baltimore to spike the an- | noying straight left of the New York | State bantam champion, Teddy Shar- | igan. then he went on to win handily in the three rounds. It was the open- ing bout of the show. Johnny Schapp of Baltimore, South Atlantic flyweight champion, and Tony Idone of New York, almost a head shorter, slugged toe-to-toe through three rounds with only an occasional let-up to catch their wind. but share of applause. This battle had the crowd in an up- | roar. It was hardly less exciting, however, than the bantam scrap that followed, in which the New England title holder, Henry Burns of Boston, outpointed Scotty Smith of Baltimore. Smith was on the verge of slumber midway the second stanza, but was fighting gamely at the bell. Jack McCarron, New England light- weight title holder, defeated Charli Barianco of Baltimore, but the Oriole made it a fight all the way. Both 7s landed kard and often, but Mc- Carron's punches carried more steam. D. C. Legionnairre Beaten. In a feather contest, arranged at the cleventh hour, Johnny Ryan, a Washington Leglonnaire, was knocked out by Johnny Fritz of the Ritz Club %} l!»alumor:l in the .;eeond round. yan stopped a series of right upper- cuts with his chin. A whirlwind finish failed to save victory for Harry Goldberg, Bronx lightweight champion, in a fast mill | with Marty Bond of Baltimore. A large part of the crowd voiced dis- approval of the decision. Jimmy Nodamatzki of Baltimore proved his class as Maryland State welter champion by outpointing Charles Nagle of New York, to whom he conceded height, weight and reach. Nagle twice was staggered with blows to_the whiskers. By virtue of enough shock resist- ance for two men and unlimited cour- age, Ray Bohannon of the Navy lasted the route with Andy Croce, New York middleweight. Bohannon's chin rivalled 8 punching bag. Heinie Miller refereed all the bouts, with Bryan Morse and Billy Whipp the Jjudges. Of the 10 bouts, all of them sizzlers, only one ended in a knockout.
