“A-12 SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, APRIL 2 Nationals Jump Off in Alabama for Start of Three-Game CLUB IN FINE MOOD AS T HEADS HOME Win Over Brooklyn, First Major Foe, Pleases—Slam by Cronin Tells. BY TOi4 DOERER. ELMA, Ala, April 2.—Your Uncle Clark Griffith's Na- tionals, with a ninth-inning victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers tucked away under their | belts, now are to enter into a sort| of a family tussle with the Chat- tanooga club of the Southern As- sociation. Some got off here for a game this afternoon, while a third | of the party went rambling on to Chattanooga, where there will be tilts tomorrow and Monday. It was a merry, satisfied flock that came into this 'Bama town this morning, pleased with weeks of training and tickled with the way the exhibition games have gone in their favor Rookies knowing that their ears may | be pinned back within the next few days were happy just the same. Rook hurlers, who know that if Ad Liska | shows any kind of form in the grape- | fruit battles here they will be left for | Chattanooga to mull over, did not seem | to care a lot. HETHER Biloxi again will be the training site of the Nationals still was & matter of doubt today. Brooklyn has been invited to train at Biloxi by the Chamber of Commerce and civic organizations, according to Tony Ragusin, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. The Dodgers will not trein at Clearwater next year, but they will not train at Biloxi, either, accord- ing to members of the party discussing the subject back in Mississippi last night. Miami, it is said, will be the practice ground of the Brooklyn team. Clark Griffith, however, was agreeable to the Dodgers training at Biloxi, but two teams drilling at one park would be impracticable, players agreed. | RIFFITH was much heckled and a little peeved about the rumors that trades were on for some of his gl?‘!rs and that Joe Judge was to ome Dodger property. More rumors than would fill Aunt Minnie’s hat have been floating around camp about trades and sales, but all of it is mere chatter at the moment. ‘There is no doubt but that Brooklyn could use Judge. But so could Detroit and Cleveland and it is two to onc that neither would let the veteran first sacker get out of the circuit by the ‘waiver route. ‘That there will be a deal after the team gets back home is not so vapory in substance. Walter Johnson and his boss are hard after a pitcher and both would trade their vets for anything that appears to be a pitcher. Judge, however, is going great. His triple yesterday against the Dodgers ‘was a great one and his stops were fast, smart and as youthful es the next fellow's. Surely, as Judge looked yes- terday, any club in need of a good first ‘baseman would have pined for him. TERDAY'S first major leaguc clash for the Griffs was a ball foume the boys back home would have liked to have seen. It was a sizzler | from the tap of the gong, see-sawing | and then wide open when Joe Cronin_rifled & ninth-inning shot into left fleld. which sent the winning run romping home to end the conflict. 11-10. With the gcore standing at 10-8 in favor of the visitors to Biloxi, Judge | pecs opened the Nationals’ ninth with a walk and Bluege also strolled. Here Kerr picked up Ragland's bat and smote a double through short to Bluege was nipped at the plate on | Myer’s roller. Manush singled over the tying run and following West's strike- out Cronin's crash put the Dodgers out. ‘Walter Johnson's promise that he had a new and greater punch to his machine Jooks to be okay. Not only did the sockers do their best, but Fred Marberry used a wicked | bat on the enemy, hitting a_homer. Fred had one bad inning, in which the Dodgers took him over for six runs, in the third. Seven hits were registered off his slants. Ragland was pounded for three runs and three hits in the eighth, Cohen. | Dow the Dodger left fielder, smacking out | & trivle that upset the big rookie. Biloxi's final gesture was a pleasing one. A crowd of nearly 2.000 fans, the | biggest ever to turn out to see the| Griffs in action at Biloxi, was on hand. Training Tilts By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. OS ANGELES, April 2.—Whatever the rest of the Chicago Cubs do, young Stanley Hack continues to look like & big leaguer in his first year up. pHe boosted his batting average with three hits yesterday as the Pirates de- feated the Cubs, 6 to 0. The contest also provided more evidence that Dutch Henry is not the southpaw pitcher the Cubs have been seeking. BILOXI, Miss., April 2—Hack Wilson is either very good or very bad in the hitting line.

EW ORLEANS, La, April 2.—The 1932 Cleveland Indians will get their first taste of major league op- position here today when they tackle the Brooklyn Dodgers As the batting ability of the Tribe is generally admitted, their principal in- terest will be in the showing of the hurlers and the fielding. In 55 innings against the New Or- leans Pelicans, Toledo Mnd Hens and Baltimore Orioles, the Indians’ mound stars, Ferrell, Hudlin, Connally, Harder and Brown have yielded only 35 hits, and an average of 1.76 runs per game. Connally and Brown were called upon for today's twirling. and Ferrell plans to go the route in the second game tomorrow.

Moran, son of the former Catholic University coach, was the standout for Central. He got a triple, double and the Kansas City Blues. Gehringer said when he arrived with the Tiger squad last night that the twinges had disappeared under the ministrations of Trainer Denny Carroll and he may play today. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 2—Man- ager Lew Fonseca of the Chicago White Sox, apparently has decided Smead Jolley is a long way from being‘a major league catcher. s Fonseca has tried to change the big, but slow outfielder into a catcher to benefit by Jolley's hitting.

Call Manager Dennison, West By the Associated Press. HICAGO, April 2—Members of the National Association of Basket Ball Coaches to- day had for consideration a list of more or less radical sugges- tions for changes in rules at the final session of their annual meeting. Along with a proposal to establish uniform interpretation of the rules, six important suggestions for re- visions were up for discussion and decision.

ELMA, Ala., April 2—“We should be stronger than we were last season,” says Walter Johnson, manager of the Washington Club. “I think my outfield 1s better and I am hoping for increased efficiency in my pitching staff. “Fred Marberry and Alvin Crowder both reported in far better candition than they did last year. Pischer should be an improved pitcher, and this young Monte Weaver from Baltimore looks fine. Then I have Llody Brown, Bob Burke, Prank Rag- | land and some others. | “Joe Kuhel has about everything | that goes to make a great first base- man,” Walter continued. “All he needs is a little more aggressiveness at the plate—just to bear down a lttle harder. He is a grand fielder and he should be a good hitter. I know, of course, what Joe Judge can do. And Joe looked in splendid condition when he came down here. Since then, he hurt his back, but that is getting all right again. But Kuhel is a young fellow who appears to be ready and must have his chance. Myer Greatly Improved. “Myer is a greatly improved second baseman. He is better than I have ever seen him. Joe Cronin, at short, one of those ball players any manager likes to have on his club. | He is a fighter, and the rougher the‘ going, the better he is. He is the life of an infield and a man you like to see come to the bat in a pinch. There are no better shortstops than Cronin. “And there are no better flelding third basemen than Bluege. He is a peculiar batter. He hits in streaks. For a time he leads the club in hitting, then he falls off and then he comes on again, “Sam West is one of the finest out- fielders you will find anywhere.

Sam Rice is in splendid condition. Just now he is the best outfielder on the | team. He still is fast and it will be hard to keep him out of the batting order. “Another place we have strengthened | is in the catching department. Roy ' Spencer is as good a catcher and hitter as any one could want, but now we have Berg to relieve him of part of the catching burden. “For reserves I have such men as Harris and Kerr.

EW YORK, April 2—So far Jack (Kid) Berg of England still must be reckoned with in any discussion over leading contenders for Tony Canzoneri's lightweight cham- pionship. The busy Briton, believed “through” after taking two beatings from Can- zoneri last year, surprised 12,000 fans in Madison Square Garden last night by holding the highly touted Boston youngster, Sammy Fuller, to a draw in a fast 10-round battle, Garden officials had planned to match the winner against Canzoneri for the title May 6, but instead may ask Fuller and Berg to meet again, probably at 12 rounds. draw in the official verdict, some ring- | siders thought Fuller was entitled to the nod on the basis of his cleaner 'ilrd gave Fuller six rounds and Berg our. Berg's whirlwind attack had Fuller baffled for three of the first four rounds. The Boston lad took the first, but lost the next three as he held on at every opportunity. But in the fifth he caught Berg with & low right swing that laid the Briton low for a count of five. He weakened Berg badly with heavy body punches in the sixth and seventh and floored him for a count of one just before the bell ended the eighth round. 1:65'"g weighed 138': pounds, Fuller CURTZE, N FOR GYMNAST CROWN Midshipmen Star Expected to Best Pick of Ten Colleges in Meet Today. | By the Associated Press. “ANNAPOL!S April 2—Curtze of | Navy was favored to capture the all-round championship as gymnasts {from seven league members and three invited Midwest universities gathered at the Naval Academy today to com- pete in the intercollegiate gymnasium League meet.
