OBILE, Ala, March 11— M Opening their 25-game training schedule in a tus- ‘: i sle with the Atlanta club kere today, the Natior »1s ~ot just what they needed if ke upeti- tion was desired to pat them on | edge for the more difficult times ehead. The Crackers, steadfastly re- fusing to be awed by the big leaguers, made the going plenty tough before they cracked to yield |r Manager Joe Cronin’s proteges a 4-to-3 victorv. It was & balk by Shorty Long, third of the Atlanta hurlers to take the hill, that handed the hodge-podge team of Nationals its big run. Two were down in the ninth inning when the slabbing slip let Johnny Kerr get home from third base with the telling tally. With cne out, Kerr had singled, moved up & notch on Cecil Travis’ blow and made the far corner when Sam Rice sacrificed. Kerr helped to bring about the balk by dancing to long leads off third base, while the wrought-up Atlanta hurler was endeavoring to concentrate upon Dave Harris, who was at bat. Harris had made two hits, but after Kerr oounted the burly batsman went out on an easy tap. 'HE Nationals, with only two regulars in action all the way and two part of the time, helped themselves to a flock of hits. They nicked the trio of Cracker curvers for 11 safeties, but after bunching five in the first inning for three markers Cronin and his crew were all but stopped in their tracks until the final frame. Buddy Myer, Manager Cronin and Fred Schulte of the regular forces got a hit apiece off the Southern Associa- tion pitching, but Joe Kuhel, the only other first-string National in the fray, ‘went without a safety. However, Kuhel did some nifty flelding and figured in two sparkling double plays. Kerr, ‘Travis and Harris got two hits each, little Johnny and burly Dave rapping doubles. Bob Boken, the recruit from XKansas City, who relieved Boss Cronin at shortstop, went hitless, but he took good care of his position afield. D LINKE, Bob Friedrichs and Bud ‘Thomas—rookies all—did the serv- ing for the big shots, each going three innings in the order mentioned. Linke was raked for three hits and as many walks, but appeared to advantage. Friedrichs, though, was as wild as a gale off the nearby Gulf of Mexico at the outset of his term and the Crackers quickly tied the score in the fourth inning. A double play initiated by Schulte kept Bob’s wildness from being costly in the fifth, then the bespectacled pitcher settled for a sterling sixth. Thomas, steadier than either of his predecessors, pitched impressively to get credit finally for the first National vic- tory of the year. T was Myer who launched Washing- ton’s three-run attack in the first frame. He hit thz second pitch made by Carruthers, a left-hander, to right center for two bases. The first heave to Travis was lined through the box for a single, counting Myer. Rice’s liner went directly to the first baseman and & two-way erasure followed, but Harris and Cronin doubled in succession down the line and Schulte singled to scnd over the third run. ‘This advantage was swept aside im- mediately after Friedrichs took the hill in the fourth. Finding the plate on swings, Bob walked four Crackers and forced a run across. Then Red Barron, who once galloped over foot ball fields for Georgia Tech, but now works at base ball for Atlanta, singled past third base to shoot over two more markers and deadlock the game. After the Nationals had broken the tie in the ninth, Thomas set back the | Crackers in crder in their final turn at the plate. It took a slick stop and throw by Boken when Freddy Sington, of Alebima foot ball fame, socked a | wicked one to short, though, to turn| the trick. THIRD PLACE TO HENRYS.

ILOXI, Miss, March 11.—Players who did not go to Mobile for the exhibition game with the Crackers today had the best workout of the Spring training campaign at Camp riff. Griff. Pitchers Crowder, Whitehill and Stewart had orders {i Manager Cro- nin to cut loose Ml;Ed not don uni- forms Sunday. All tHtee Washington veterans took to this plan joyfully, with the result that Goslin, Manush, Bluege and Sewell, all regularz, got the most helpful ,batting practice to date. They had hooks, slow ones and speed also to look upon. All these pitchers appear {n wonder- ful condition for this stage of the train- ing season. Crowder was exceptionally fast, and so was Whitehill. The latter declares he is in the best shape he has been in for years. The slugging of Manush and Goslin | brought_joy to those in charge of the | Nationals. The big batters hit the ball | | to all four corners of Biloxi Park.

BRANNAN HURT IN QUAKE. ®). the ADMITS BROOKLYN HAS FAIR OUTLOOK Manager Considers Infield Sturdy, Likes Outfield, Won’t Talk Flag. By & Staff Correspondent of The Star. IAMI, Fla., March 11.—“So you want an interview on the Brooklyn Dodgers?” queried Maximilian Car- narius, seating himself on the ex- pensive coverlet of his hotel bed and reaching for the telephone to ask for “room service.” “And,” he continued without pausing for a reply, “I suppose you want me to tell you just where we're going to finish next Fall? Well,” again without pause, “anybody who asks that is crazy and the fellow who answers it crazier.” Thus, with these generous handfuls aspersions on his sanity cast in his lap, the writer was permitted to begin the interrogation. Maximilian Carna- rius, in_case one is uninformed, is, of course, Max Carey, dapper manager of the Dodgers. starting his second season toward- a pennant since he replaced the famous old Oriole, Uncle Wilbert Robinson. “Laying aside the pennant business, have you strengthened the Dodgers, and how?” he was asked. “The trade with the Cardinals helped us, undoubtedly,” he replied promptly. “Jake Flowers is a better reserve felder than Slade and he’s certainly a better hitter. Besides, since I have seen him in camp and noted his t con- dition I feel that his health will not let him down—and that's about all that ever was wrong with Flowers. He not only can play short if Wright happens to be out, but he can play third and second equally well.” “What about Wright, by the way? How's his arm?” “Glenn looks good and his arm is all right. He has not been throwing hard here because I've had to keep after him not to start too fast. His condition otherwise is fine, too.” : Owen Carroll, the youthful veteran (he is only 31) who came along_with Flowers in the trade that sent Dazzy Vance down the river, is expected by Carey to be of considerable ald on the | pitching staff. “He learned how to pitch late last season,” said Carey. “He's not old, he has the stuff and there’s nothing wrong with his arm. I think he’ll help us.” Carey has been quoted several times on Walter Beck, right-hand pitcher purchased last season from Memphis for $25,000.
