BY TOM DOERER. ILOXI, Miss., March 4—An early offensive against the Yanks is the plan being mapped out down here in Camp Griff as the Nationals’ board of strategy gathers in the evening to go over the blue prints of their 1933 schemes and ideas. Involved in the plan as principal characters are Walter Stewart and Earl Whitehill, the southpaws obtained in trade from St. Louis and Detroit dur- ing the Winter months. ‘While neither Walter nor Earl was successful against the powerful New York club last season, the showing made by the pair has caused Clark Griffith and Joe Cronin to believe that if the fork fisters get the superb Nationals’ support and the punch of Goslin_and Manush, along Wwith the | other hitters, they will close up those close scores by which the Yanks iop- pled them last year to win by similar margins. As the Nationals were the only out- fit in the younger‘loop to split even with the heavy clouters of Gotham, making it 11 and 11, Cronin believes that the southpaw flipping of his two stellar hopes will be more than a match for the lert-hand power of the Yankees. +TF we could get a break with the Yanks without effective left-hand hurling against their wrong-side power last season,” argues Cronin, “I see no reason why we cannot get & good margin over New York this year with men like Stewart and Whitehill to shoot southpaw slants at Combs, Gehrig, Ruth and Dickey, the cham- pions’ wicked left-handers.” While Whitehill was unable to down | the Yanks last year, Stewart managed | to nick the heavy-hitting outfit for on2 victory and lost four by narrow mar- gins. “Those scores were close enough lor me to have taken the Yanks if I had had & punch behind me at bat or swifter fielaing,” says Walter. Cronin avers that Stewart will gat the fielding next season. The master of double-play also promises Walter that he will get plenty sock from Manush, Goslin and the manager to give him some runs with which to start. UT the main issue in this left-hand campaign against the world cham- pions is the manner in which the | Nationals hope to beat them. It is gleaned from the chin chatter at the log | nre festivals that Uncle Clark and Joe, his Boy Friday, are scheming to get at | the Yanks in a flying start, toss every- thing they have at the champs, get out in front and then maneuver during the early season to keep a gap between the two clubs. Which uncle admits is going to be a | probiem, but can be done. Back in| 1925, uncle mapped out a like campaign against the Athletics with Bucky Harris. Tt took place at training camp and when the smoke of battle cleared in Septem- ber, uncle's team was out in front by | the margin which had been planned. | There is a feeling down here among | the hurlers that Babe Ruth is not going | o be the mighty man of war at the bat next season. The boys do not lack ap-| Preciation for the Bam's power, but be- | lieve the time has arrived when the big | fellow cannot go to the plate so often and that when he does he will not be 50 effective as he used to be, Pap Time at last showing his hand. Uncle Griffith and Cronin hope the | boys are right, but they warn the pitch- | ers that Babe is a dangerous man and always will be one so long as he can walk up to the platter with a mace in his mittens. From Dickey and Gehrig most of the players expect the dynamite to come. Combs is fading, it is believed, so the left-hand power is coming from the first baseman and the catcher, both of whom will be worked on plenty by the southpaw pitchers next semester. TIGER ROOKIE AT THIRD Greenberg, Harris' Hope for In- field Berth, Gets First Work-out. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 4 (P). | —Hank Greenberg, Manager Bucky Harris' hope for the third-base posi- tion with the Tigers, had his first ‘workout today with a glove at the hot corner. Although he is big, Greenberg is fairly fast. Harris is anxious to have the New Yorker in a regular infield berth because of his hitting ability, which s above average. No let-up in training was scheduled for tomorrow.

ILOXI, Miss., March 4—The pos- sibility of an Earnshaw-Ferrell trade between Philadelphia and Oleveland is being discussed among the National veterans. Ferrell can be a greater pitcher than he has shown, the boys who have hit and played against him be- lieve. They say that Wes will have a big year if he starts in the right mood. ~ But apparently they feel that the balky attitudes of club and pl:{er toward term-making will not make Wes temperamentally fit for action in the next semester. EASTERN HIGH WINS BASKET BALL TITLE |Central, Oakridge Beaten by Defending Champ in S. A. Tourney Upset. By the Associated Press. EXINGTON, Va., March 4 —East- ern High School of Washington, a tournament underdog, crashed through tonight with a 39-to-35 victory over the Oakridge Military In- stitute team of North Carolina to win the tenth annual South Atlantic scholastic basket ball championship at ‘Washington and Lee University. Battling fiercely all the way, the two teams waged a nip and tuck battle that saw the Washingtonians on the long end of a 25 to 19 score at the half. Oakridgé trailed, 31 to 28, at the end of the third quarter, but was unable to match the play of the Washington quint in the home stretch. Tonight’s play ended three days of basket ball play for 16 teams picked | from the South Atlantic sector on the basis of their superior play during the season. ASTERN, although the defending champion, was not seeded in the tournament, but won its way through _the first round by defeating | George Washington High ~School of | Danville, through the quarter-finals by downing Washington Tech, and this afternocn upset the Central High team of Washington which had been seeded L No. 1. Oakridge, the tournament’s scoring sensation, coasted through all previous tests, winning 50 to 9 from Danville Military in the first round, overwhelm- ing Staunton Military Academy, 76 to Georgetown Prep of Washington in this afternoon’s semi-final tilt. Both teams showed the effect of the | tournament strain and the play was not quite up to the standard set in the previous rounds. Summary: Eastern” (30) Oakridge (35) G GEPus | Davis, D ean.

Tech, the fourth of the District teams to compete, was eliminated Friday. Central, recent winner of The Star Metropolitan District championship and seeded No. 1 in the Washington and Lée tourney, took an 8-to-7 lead over Eastern at the end of the first quarter, but the Lincoln Park team spurted to wind up on the long end of a 19-to-10 score at half. It was Central's turn to rally in the third period, which ended 23 all. Eastern forged ahead in the final triumph in the high school civision and earn the right to tackle the champion of the pi school division in the tourney final tonight. EORGETOWN PREP was no match for the clever North Carolina schoolboys, who grabbed a 27-to-6 lead at half time and coasted through the final 20 minutes. Keating was the only player on the Wi n - team to find the scoring range, pocketing half a dozen fleld goals and a foul shot for 13 points. Crater was the thorn in the side of Georgetown Prep, the elusive Omkridge forward slipping away to sink 11 field goals for 22 points.

In other years the rooks made plenty of use of the music box and its croon- ing melodies could be heard all over| the hostelry until midnight. But this is an early rising and an early reiiring flock of youngstcrs who gre behaving like real athletes. They know that to get even nea: a chance with this base ball club they must have what it takes and a lot more besides. So they are adding deportment to ability in an effort to show Uncle Clark and Cro- nin that they are what the doctor ordered.
