B—8 S ONE GOOD PITCHER WOULD BRIG J0Y Griff, Rare Judge of Slab Material, on Job Until Harris Arrives. BY JOHN B. KELLER. N THE WAY TO BILOXI, Miss., February 234—Mr/nd-y‘ morning at the Biloxi ball yard | Frankie Baxter will hand out uniforms of last season's vintage to a flock of rookies, Mike Martin will give the youngsters their instructions, and the attempted lifting of the Washington club from the dreary depths nto which it fell the past year will have begun. It will be no galaxy of great stars that reports for the opening drill of the training campaign. Other than the trio of young men to whom the Nationals must look for their catch- ing this year, tne early squad will consist of pitching material of most uncertain quality. Yet these lads will be eyed earnestly, conditioned carefully as though they were sure- fire prospects by Trainer Martin and his able assistant, Baxter. For as the Nationals begin their come-back effort Clark Griffith, their president, and Bucky Harris, their manager. feel that nothing in the| way of material, however inexperi- enced, can afford to be overlooked. While this is not particularly a year of rebuilding for the Washington ball club, there are spots here and there in considerable need of patching, so every youngster at camp will be sub- jected to most careful scrutiny. Yearn for a Pitcher. HERE is little that glitters in the horde of young heavers due to settle to the grind Monday, but should the club manage to extract from the lads only one with fair promise as a pitcher, that one would be as so much pure gold. So right from the start of proceed- ings at Biloxi field, Big Boss Griffith will be at hand to look 'em over. | Griffith’s base ball sense is uncanny, especially when he endeavors to ap- proximate the promise in a recruit | pitcher. He knows more about this angle of the game, probably, than any other in authority in the major leagues. It doesn’t take the Old Fox long to size up a rook, either. He is quick to see the good or bad in a pitcher’s motion, speedy at noting how far J‘ young hurler may be expected to go with the type of delivery employed. In fact, Griffith is such an excellent | judge of pitching prospects that when Harris reaches camp late next week the big boss will be able to tell his club’s manager just which of the youngsters to go along with and which to regard as little more than serviceable for chucking when the batting drills get under way. Martin Has Big Task. IKE MARTIN will have enough | to keep him plenty busy in{ his handling of the early squad | before Manager Harris gets on the| job. Every Spring at the beginning of training Mike seems to fear some ambitious youngster will ruin himself right off the reel. At the end of each daily routine Mike wanders about, mumbling to himself, poking into corners here and there, peering into| odd nooks. It looks as if he is in| constant fear of finding an arm some | overzealous rookie has flung away. Biloxi field will be a busy spot in the early going, but before the first week at camp is passed there will be | s0 much activity that all the bosses and their aides must be at hand to look after the heavy grind. Next Friday all the veteran members of the Washington curving corps are to check in at camp and when the full squad assembles there will be more than a score of pitchers and near- pitchers readying themselves for the bigger task ahead or striving earnestly to land jobs. Veterans Must Perk Up. OME of the veterans of the slab staff will discover this year that life is no bowl of cherries. A few have slipped along with no great exer- tion for some time. This year they will have to show a more earnest spirit, says Manager Harris. They must work, be on the level with their | ball club all the way or find a minor berth yawning for them, the pilot | warns. | Bucky knows that often a veteran feels himself so well entrenched in position he permits the inner fire to die down. Bucky let himself slip somewhat when he was managing the Nationals before. And the slip caused his separation from the job of piloting them. But in his five years at the helm of the Tigers and the one as the job and he has returned to the Nationals a manager who is strictly There won't be any slave-driving at the Biloxi camp.

The Panthers now have a conference standing of three victories against a lone defeat and nced only a win over West Virginia to clinch titular honors. Georgetown is well down in the stand- ings. After a slow start, with neither team scoring in the first three minutes, Pittsburgh soon found the scoring range and was enjoying a 16-to-3 lead after 10 minutes of play. George- town was trailing at haelftime by a 23-7 margin. ITTSBURGH UNIVERSITY'S fast-flying basket ball quint | | Few Floor ‘Goals. HE Hoyas never threatened in the second half, their closets ap- proach to the visitors being 14 points in the early moments when the score stood 23 to 9. Capt.

Cribbs started the scoring with a | free toss, but Hargaden knotted the | count with another throw from the | foul line. Pete Noon and Ross Emrick tossed in two-pointers and the latter got a foul to give the visitors a 6-1 lead. Zola caged a floor goal for Georgetown, after which the Panthers went on a scoring streak to obtain & 16-3 advantage.

Fat- KANSAN DAZZLES AT METERS - Sprint, Broad Jump Feats Performed by Colored Ohio State Ace. new record of 25 feet 9 inches in de= fense of a title he won last year. Owens set the sprint record in & | semi-final heat in which Ralph Met« | calfe of Marquette, the defending na= tional champion, was decisively beaten and eliminated. Metcalfe, off to a poor start, trailed Owens by two yards and was beaten off for the second qualifying position by Sam Maniaci of Columbia. Metcalfe had shared the former world indoor mark of 6.7 sec- onds with Emmett Toppino of New | Orleans. | Three of the four sprint finalists were colored. Columbia’s speedy Ben Johnson led Eulace Peacock of Temple in the other semi-final test. Johnson in two straight heats equaled the listed world record time of 6.7 seconds. | After several false starts, Johnson got away flying and barely withstood the closing rush of Owens to capture the 60-meter final in the new record | time of 6.6 seconds. Barely 6 inches separated Johnson and Owens at the tape as the Ohio flyer failed in his bid for a second indoor title. Peacock was | third, a yard behind Owens, with | Maniaci fourth and last. Beard Equals Mark. N CAPTURING the 65-meter high hurdles lanky Percy Beard, the Ala= bama school teacher competing for the New York A. C., equaled his own world indoor record of 86 seconds in | the final heat. Beard beat Phil Good |of Bowdoin -collegiate | champion, by a yard and a half. Glenn Hardin, Louisiana State's noted foot racer and hurdler, failed to measure up to form in his indoor debut and was eliminated in the | trials of the 600-meter run. Eardin trailed throughout and ran fourth in the heat won by Kenneth Gilmore of Columbia, with Elton Brown of the Kansas City A. C. second and Fred Kiger of Pittsburgh third. Chuck Hornbostel's entry was scratched from the 600, but his In- diana teammate, Ivan Fuqua, easily qualified for the finals. ENRY (HANK) CIEMAN of the Achillies Club, Toronto, cap- tured the 1.500-meter walk the new record time of 6 minutes 7.3 seconds as the metric marks from the first championship attack Cieman easily footed his way to vice tory by a 30-yard margin over his nearest rival, Charles Eschenbach of the New York A. C., the defending champion. The winner's time dis- placed the former indoor record of 6:8.8, set by Louis Welch of Boston | last Winter. | The first record fell in the after- {noon at the Squadron “A” Armory, | when Henry Dreyer of Rhode Island | State University successfully defended | his title in the 35-pound weight | throw with a heave of 55 feet 3% inches. | Hornbostel in Ruck. HARLES (CHUCK) HORNBOS- i TEL of Indiana, the defending | champion and favorite, failed even to place in the 1,000-meter run Apparently a bit lame, he trailed all the way and finished next to last in a race won by Glen Dawson of Tulsa Dawson came from behind on the | last lap to whip Waldo Sweet of th: ! New York A. C. by a scant yard in 2 minutes, 30 seconds, with North Carolina’s Harry Williamson abou: 5 yards farther back. Hornbostel had not been beaten previously this Winter. Torrance Again Fails. ACK TORRANCE, Giant Louisiana State athlete, and holder of the world outdoor shotput record of 57 feet 1 inch, failed for the second straight week to surpass the indoor standard of 52 feet 83g inches, held by Leo Sexton. Torrance won the event easily enough from mediocre competition, but his best toss, meas- uring only 49 feet, 7 inches, was near- ly 2 feet short of what he had done last Saturday in the New York A. C. games | Joe McCluskey, freshly reinstated after a brief brush with the A. A. U, of | celebrated by galloping to an easy triumph in defense of the 3,000-meter championship for the New York A. C. The runner expected | to extend the champion, Harold Man- | ning of Wichita, Kans., withdrew be- | cause of illness. John W. (Bill) Follows of Wash- ington, D. C., competing for the New | York A. C, led his clubmate, Paul Rekers, by 20 yards in successfully defending the 5,000-meter run title. Follows opened up with his charac- teristic sprint, two laps from home, and pulled away to win as he pleased |in the slow time of 15:18.8 Last in a field of seven was Indiana’s Don Lash, National A. A. U. cross-country champion. ILTON SANDLER of the Ger- man-American A. C., New York, retained the 600-meter cham- pionship by running a front race all the way to beat Jim Elliott of Villa- | nova by 3 yards in 1:21.9, only a half second short of his own record time. Columbia’s Kenneth Gilmore ran third, with Elton Brown of the Kan- sas City A. C,, fourth in a fleld of six. Cornelius Johnson of Compton Junior College, Los Angeles, won his first national championship outright in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet 7 inches. Johnson shares the outdoor A. A. U. title with Walter Marty, an- other €alifornian. He was hard pressed tonight by Al Threadgill of Temple, second at 6 feet 6. Johnson failed in three tries at 6 feet 9 for a new indoor record CLAYTON will give imme- diate relief for itching, perspirey feet or athlete’s foot.
