SPORTS. Griff Sees Second Up Bluege’s “Spot” : McCarthy Confident Yanks Will Repeat. 25 in Cubs® Party THINKS OSSIE SURE TOHOLD NEW POST Boss of Nationals Praises Batting Position Cronin Gives Veteran. BY TOM DOERER. ITLOXI, Miss., March 10— With the Nationals’ exhibi- tion ser‘es scheduled for an auspicious opening tomor- row at Mobile with the Atlanta Crackers as the other half of the bill, Manager Joe Cronin has re- served second place in the batting order for the third baseman he will use. This does Cronin show he intends to go through with the elevation of Ossie Bluege to that position in the regular hitting list. ‘While Battling Joe is being censured gx some quarters for his decision to use luege in the second batting spot, Uncle Clark Griffith, the man who should be the first to kick if he thought his new pilot had booted one, is all praise | for the kid leader's decision. { He recalls that it will not be the| first time for Ossie in second position, | but will be the first time he assumes it with a great chance of sticking in the runner-up notch. While the discussion raging around Bluege's batting position is an important one down here where colds are disap-| pearing and warmer weather is bringing | te: the boys around, the condition of th» hitters is making Cronin stalk about camp wearing a grin. Cronin cannot_recall another year he has been with the Nationals in which the boys have shown such top | hhyxkcal form. With Goose Goslin, | ed Schulte and Luke Sewell setting | the pace, the regulars have been | punching at a rate far above antici- | pations.

Cassell had been having trouble in lo- cating the plate and none here seemed to understand why the big boy lacked oontrol. His speed, too, and pitching stance had suddenly become poor. It developed that Cassell had a sore arm and had not told Doc Martin. A treatment by the trainer put Lloyd in such shape that both Griffith and Cronin were tickled by his performance ay.

ILOXI, Miss, March 10.—War- fare between Bob Boken and Cecll Travis for the infleld util- ity berth with the Nationals is waging warmly at Camp Griff. In drills yesterday the two rookies nearly collided several times in their efforts to get the balls batted by Tutor Joe Cronin. They were all over the infield and the vets stop- pe(xi work for & while to watch the pair. Both Travis and Boken stand well at the plate. They take those long, free cuts at the pitches.

Most important, in national in- terest, of the repeal bills is that in Pennsylvania, home of three major league teams, and without Sunday base ball since 1794. It is the only State harboring major league base ball which bans Sunday play, Mas- sachusetts lifting the restrictions last year) Annually for many years bills have been presented which would give the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh teams the privilege of adding to their revenues with Sunday attractions, but not until this year of depression —1933—have they been near pass- age.
