FOUR YOUNGSTERS ¥z By, MAKE IMPRESSION Hasn’t Seen So Many Fine Prospects in Six Years, Declares Bucky. BY JOHN B. KELLER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ILOXI, Miss., March 2—With | a week of practice behind it, | the flock of fledgings at work | in the Nationals' camp here promises to provide the ball club with | some high-grade prospects. That's | the belief of Manager Bucky Harris after giving the lot a thorough look- | ing over. | “Never in the six years I was away from the Washington club did I ever see so much good-looking young pitching material at one training camp as we have here,” was Bucky's enthusiastic comment today. “We should get a lot of help from some of these boys.” Four of the young hurlers par- ticularly have impressed the pilot. | Among them is Archie Scrivener, the | Alexandria boy who came to the Na- | tionals only @last Fall by way of | George Washington University. Others to win Harris’ praise are Reese Diggs, who was taken on the club last sea- son as a batting practice flinger; Frank Petticolas, fresh from the Chi- cago sandlots, and Henry Coppola, a Northeastern League product and now the property of the Albany club, | “Really a great looking bunch,” Harris observed as he checked the recruits in action. “I don’t see how &ome of them can miss. You know, only twice did I have a standout | rockie at training camp while I was away from Washington. There was | Tommy Bridges with Detroit and | later Schoolboy Rowe with the same | club. Here we have at least four. “ P the big league so far as polish | is concerned. They have much | to learn of what to do in a game. But | each one of them can throw that ball. | In a pinch a young pitcher who is no | more than a thrower, but a good one, can make a go of it in the majors. Fred Marberry did for several years before becoming a really clever pitcher. | “These boys have fine arms on them. | They are strong, too. They are not | far away from a big-league job as I | see them.” | Scrivener chucked to Clif Bolton for | 10 minutes, with the manager looking | on. The Alexandria boy looked a slab | stylist. His wind-up was smooth, his delivery machinelike. And what a follow-through. The entire shoulder | roll and the body bulk was behind the | snap of the arm with every pitch. And | all with a minimum of effort. Tne[ recruit showed the manager mechan- | ical pitching form generally seen only | in the best of the seasoned veterans. | “This boy perhaps will not make the grade this year,” Harris said, “but he | has shown enough to convince me | much will be heard of him in the near | future. He has excellent pitching | action, and I am confident he will| prove fast enough to make headway in the topmost company. A season of | May Need Some Polish.

EW YORK, March 2.—Favored to repeat its bombshell triumph of a year ago, Man- hattan College’s track and field array will defend the I. C. 4-A. team championship in Madison Square Garden tonight. It will take the breaks. as always in this meet, but Pete Waters’ pupils seem to pack the all-around strength to stave off the challenges of Man- hattan’s principal rivals—Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Cornell and New York University. Individually, there are at least a half dozen outstanding favorites, none | of them from Manhattan, but the | first five places in each varsity event | will count in the team race and Man- hattan expects to pick up plenty of seconds, thirds and fourths. Keith Brown of Yale in the pole vault where he has been unbeaten in championship competition during nis varsity career: Henry Dreyer of Rhode Island State in the 35-pound weight throw, Tony Geniawicz of Dartmouth in the shotput, Gene Venzke of Penn in the 1,500-meter run, and Ben Johnson and Sam Ma- riaci of Columbia in the 50-meter dash where they are expected to fin- ish one-two, are standouts in their respective fields.

OR the first time this season University of Maryland’s un- defeated boxing squad was a distinct underdog today as the together with Catholic University’s hard-hitting Cardinals, prepared to entertain a pair of Northern rivals tonight in home rings. Minus the services of three of its brightest stars, Maryland will play host to a crack Army team from West Point in the feature of the annual all-university night program at the Ritchie Coliseum. Under ordinary circumstances the Maryland team that tied Virginia and swept over all other opposition would reign a favorite, but with the sensational Ivan Nedomatsky, Lyman McAboy and Al Farrell on the sidelines the Old Liners’ chances of victory are not regarded as particularly bright. Catholic University, winding up its campaign in the Brookland gym- nasium and preparing to take a fall out of Maryland itself a week from Monday at College Park, will enter- tain Carnegie Tech tonight. With full strength available, the Cardinals | rule slight favorites, although the Plaid will present a pair of undefeated battlers and one of the best teams to invade this season. PPROXIMATELY 9,000 spectators A are expected to cram the two gymnasiums to witness the local rivals in their last tests prior to the forthcoming Maryland-Catholic U. battle. The Terps and West Pointers. winding up a varied program that will last from 3': to 4 hours. are expected to play before upward of 5.000. while the Cardinals and Skibos are expected to pack the Brookland gymnasium to its 4,000 capacity. Fellowing the annual basket ball clash between Maryland and St. John’s of Annapolis at 7:30 o'clock and a program of extra-curricula ac- tivities portrayed by numerous organ- izations, the Terp and Army boxers will meet. The doors of the Coliseum will be closed at 8:15 o'clock—half o'clock, when 1,000 additional spec- tators will be accommodated by the placing of ringside seats on the floor. More than 350 students are expected to take part in the extra-curricula program, which will include military drills, renditions by the Glee Club, lacrosse, track, wrestling and fencing exhibitions and a one-act play.

OUISVILLE, Ky, March 2— Chance Sun, the outstanding 2-year-old of 1934, and a score of other leading stake winners as juveniles were among 110 thorough- breds nominated today for a try May 4 at the country’s greatest horse race. The Jist is somewhat smaller than in recent years, but it contains practically every one of the Nation's 3-year-olds that has been conceded a chance to become the 1935 Kentucky Derby winner. In numbers and in class the East bids fair to furnish the winner this season, but almost cvery section of the country has a reprfsentative or two, including California, Florida, Indiana, Tennessee and Texas. The 110 nomi- nees, out of which some 10 to 20 will be chosen to start after the next two months of gruelling training, ran all told 1424 times as 2-year-olds. Their combined score was 200 victories, 167 seconds and 124 thirds, for total money carnings of the princely sum of $468,191. Chance -Sun, which topped the list last year with $83,985 winnings, will be the sole dependence this year of Joseph E. Widener to win the $40,000 added Kentucky clessic. He rules as Winter book favorite and recently was quoted at 6 to 1, about the shortest “future” odds in a generation. Woodward Has Seven. MONG other outstanding contest- tants are Psychic Bid, Plat Eye, Try Sympathy, St. Bernard, Wise Prince, Sailor are, Brannon, Omaha, Blackbirder, Boxthorn, Vi- caress, Esposa, Commonwealth, Polish Beau, Special Agent, Sound Advice, Roman Soldier, Pitter Pat, Gallant Prince, Good Flavor, and the Calu- met Farm’s great.filly, Nellie Flag. William Woodward leads the nomi- | nators for the sixty-first Debry with seven. His list includes such likely - | performers as Omaha, Gallant Prince, Pitter Pat and Vicaress, the first two sons of his Gallant Fox, which won the 1930 Derby. The Calumet Farm has six nomi- - nees, the only outstanding one being . | Nellie Flag, whose $57,240 winnings last year came second to the total turned in by Chance Sun. Four other otners, Alfred G.

The Vanderbilt and Milky Way | Farm eligibles, based on their 2-year- old records, contain no outstanding prospects. Mrs. Sloane’s Brookmeade Stable, which sent the great English- bred Cavalcade to victory in last year's Derby, has at least two good chances this year in Special Agent |and Psychic Bid.

There is no jerk at all in his| delivery. It is free all the way and| the ball leaves his hand with a skip to it. Harris believes Diggs will have & fast ball the equal of the one that made Marberry such a fine relief pitcher in the years the big Texan was at his best.

ETTICOLAS first became ac- quainted with the Washington club late last season in Chicago, visiting the White Sox park to re-| quest a tryout. His work pleased Joe Cronin, then manager of the Na-| tionals, and word about Frank was passed along to President Griffith. So| the 18-year-old was brought along to Biloxi and Harris does not think the club will regret the payment for the inspection of the pitcher. Coppola was brought here on the recommendation of Joe Cambria. president of the Albany club, that maintains a close relationship with the Nationals. He is a rangy pitcher and that he is fast is apparent despite that Trainer Mike Martin has not permitted the rookies to cut loose as et, ¥ In the Northeastern League last season Coppola, who hails from East Douglas, Mass., chucked to a creditable record and appeared to such advan- tage that Cambria, the big coat and towel man of Baltimore, stuffed Grif- fith's ears with the boy’s pitching vir- tues. And so far Coppola seems to be all Cambria declared him to be. It is a likely-looking quartet, these youngsters striving for fame and for- tune with the Nationals. And Harris’ interest in the four assures them a great chance to achieve their objec- tive, There’s nothing more the club desires than likely pitching timber these days. G. U. PREP VS. EASTERN. Georgetown freshmen and Eastern High basketers were to clash this aft- ernoon at Tech High at 2:30 in a rubber game which has attracted a deal of attention.

Seymour Kling, New York, and Ray Fessenden, Madison, Wis., were paired for other matches, as were Tom Mor- | gan, Kansas City, and Arie Schaap, | Chicago. H Collins dropped out of the tie for the lead yesterday when he ran into Arie | Schaap at top form. Schaap’s margin | was 300 to 199 after a 34-inning struggle. Soussa set a new high-run mark of 93 in defeating Kling, 300 to 162, in 23 innings, while Appleby outpointed Fessenden, 300 to 286, in a long 46- inning struggle.

ILOXI, Miss, March 2.— ‘When the call to training camp sounds it seems the base ball boys simply can’t resist answering the summons. It is so with most of the Nationals’ pitchers, who were stub- born holdouts. The list of balking boxmen in President Clark Grif- fith’s headquarters has been so re- duced that only one name remains on it—that of Walter Stewart. This morning nothing had been heard from the Tennessee south- paw, who was to have checked in at camp yesterday. All others were present or ac- counted for. Ray Prim, brought back from the Albany club, and Leon Pettit, purchased from Chat- tanooga, reached camp early yes- terday. Both had accepted terms some time before. Jack Russell, who reached an agreement with Griffith day be- fore yesterday, breezed in late last night with Bob Burke. Russell lost no time binding the agree- ment by signing a contract calling for the slight increase he had dickered for, Buxkn"um & con- ference with the boss, put his name on the paper. Neither Bob nor the club prexy would state whether a raise had been granted for the player. Earl Whitehill, veteran port- sider, and Grifith have about to terms.

Russell and Burke look in splen- did health. - Both have been win- tering in Florida, Russell at Clear- water and Burke at Sarasota.

Armbrust probably will be pun- ished plenty before he is in play- ing shape. Martin weighed the youngster after the Thursday workout and the scales balanced at 193. Weighed again before the drills yesterday, Armbrust scaled a nifty 196. So there will be no pie a la mode for him for some time. Monte Weaver, who went on a vegetable diet last season in an effort to get rid of a stomach ail- ‘ment, is somewhat underweight, al- though in fairly good health. Wea- ver was examined at the Univer- city of Virginia Hospital this Win- ter and his trouble was diagnosed as an acid condition. A new diet was ordered for him, one including some meat, and he soon began to gain. He still needs more pound- age, however. Trainer Martin hopes to put it on the pitcher by use of an appetite. booster in the nature of a tonic. Martin brought along half a gallon of the medicine to be ladled out to Monte at camp. station, however, and since not & word has come from him. Powell had asked that he be per- mitted to start work at camp ahead of the squad of outfielders and in- fielders slated to get into training March 10, and was ordered to pro- ceed to Biloxi with the club’s man= ager. Harris had hoped to get through the training season with culy one session a day at Biloxi Field, but now thinks he will have to have morning and afternoon workouts after the full club is assembled week after next. Already the park is crowded with pitchers, and with all the batterymen assembled con- ditions will be trying. It would be impossible to handle the entire club at once, say those in charge. Better weather greeted the pitch- ers yesterday as they turned olt at the ball yard, and all hands were sent through a strenuous session that took some of the surplus flesh off the several puffy ones here. Al Thomas is one of these extra-size pitchers, the veteran reporting here with a couple of spare tires around the middle. And Orville Armbrust, South.

CUNNINGHAM RACES DAWSON AND BROWN 1,000-Yard Event Features Meet at Kansas City—40 Schools and Clubs Compete. | By the Associated Press. ANSAS CITY, March 2—The Glenn Cunningham-Glen Daw- son rivalry, with a comparative | | newcomer in the running to make ita | triangular affair, will be renewed to- | night on the flat oval in Convention Hall The two durable middle-distance aces from Kansas and Oklahoma, to- gether with Elton Brown of the Kan- sas City Athletic Club, will match strides at 1,000 yards in the headliner event of the revived K. C. A. A. A indoor track and field carnival. Although Cunningham is the odds- on favorite in his first indoor appear- ance here since he spiked his way to fame, Dawson has beaten him once and the length of the race is closer to Brown’s favorite distance, the half- mile. The event takes the place of the canceled duel between Cunningham and Indiana’s Chuck Hornbostel at three-quarters of a mile. Brown, one of the best half-milers turned out by Dr. Garfield Weede of the Pittsburgh, Kans., Teachers’ Col- lege, has become a favorite on the eastern. indoor circuit after winning the 880-yard specials at the Millrose and Seton Hall games. More than 350 performers are en- tered from 40 or more colleges, high schools and athletic clubs. better 2-year-olds last year, along with Up and Up, a chestnut gelding, will represent Mrs. Payne Whitney’'s Greentree Stable, which sent the immortal Twenty Grand out in 1931 to set a new record of 2:0145 for the mile and a quarter. While Balladier is understood to have been withheld because of faulty underpinning, Col. E. R. Bradler's Idle Hour Farm. which holds the record for four Derby victories, will have two good contestants in Box- thorn and Big Gawk. Mrs. John D. Hertz of Chicago, named two colts, Our Reigh and Count Arthur, both sired by the great . Reigh Count, her winner in 1928. Our Reigh's dam is Anita Peabody, great- est filly of the year, that Reigh Count splashed through the mud to Derby fame. There are four imported thorough- breds, Kilmer's Hilltown and North Wales II; Mrs. Thomas H. Somer- ville’s Veldschoen and William Ryan's Wildfire. For the first time in many years one of the nominations is vet unnamed, & colt by Pharamond II out of Romance, nominated by Hal Price Headley to run with his Bee Line.
