Batting drills for the batterymen in camp here—and all excepting Wal- | ter Stewart were checked in tonight— | will start Monday. This early wand-waving stunt for the pitchers is an innovation, so far as Washington club camps are con- cerned, but Bucky Harris is that way about conducting the training of a ball club. He may be expected to| spring something new at any time. Bucky is that kind of manager. So all hurlers tentatively slated to become regulars of the staff and the | three catchers at hand will swing at the offerings of the rookie slabmen. who, after a week of warming up, will be ordered to cut loose with their flipping. “There's no reason to wait for the entire squad to asscmble before be- ginning batting practice,” Harris said. | “There will be so many around then the pitchers will get little chance to sharpen their eyes at the plate. By | my plan, they will get a full week of | practice at bat before the final squad shows up “The drills also will help me to get @ good line on the many recruits we have at camp. They will be instructed to put plenty on the ball, and they're Just itching to do that.” | Figures on More Hitting. HE youngsters are hankering to do something more than toss em. But the older pitchers are Jjust as eager to wield the wood. For | barting gives a ball player his great- est thrill, Harris believes the Nationals will show more punch at the plate this year than they did last. In the 1934 campaign they batted at a .278 rate to finish in a fourth-place tie with the Yankees in the club lists. He has great faith in the batting ability of both Travis and Myer and holds that Kuhel is a better sticker than the 289 clip at which he went along through half of the last cam- paign. “We should have three of the | infielders hitting well above .300,” he | figured. “At that rate a light-hitting shortstop such as Lary or Bluege would not hurt our attack to any appreciable extent. “Manush ought to be way up there agzain. Stone proved last vear he can hit when he swung for .315. Schulte is about a .300 clouter. but mavbe Powell will be in there and they tell me he is the goods as a batter. We ghould have a busting outficld. “Put Bolton behind the bat and there’s a line-up that would make any pitcher perspire.” the optimistic manacer concluded. It sounded well, at that. McColl Active as a Colt. HE pitching squad was increased by four today. Alex McColl checked in from Geneva, Ohio, mighty chipper for a pitcher so near the 40-year line. Bump Hadley and Ed Linke got in from Hot Springs, where they got more than a wezk of conditioning work. Earl Whitehill ar- rived from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. | McColl reached camp early enough to participate in the training session. He was as active as the youngest in the squad. The arm he had doctored | more than a year ago is in good con- dition now. he said. It troubled him | some last seascn. however. The other three pitchers arrived too late for the work-out, soa special | Bunday session has been ordered for them. However, Harris does not ex- pect to schedule Sunday drills for the full squad unless inclement weathpr} #hould hold up the conditioning work. Whitehill brought along with him his 19-year-old brother, George Ed- ward. He is Ed to the older brother. “He's been pitching pretty well around home and wants to find out what it's like at a big league camp,” explained Earl. “Maybe he'll try to make a go of it in base ball if the folks here think he has something.” The younger Whitehill is a right-hander. “I'm the only cuckoo in the family,” Earl ad- mitted with a chuckle. Hadley Looks in Shape. HEIR work at the Arkansas Spa apparently benefited Hadley and Linke considerably, Bump looks in splendid condition. There seems to be little, if any weight, for him to shed. And Linke, weighing well above 200, is firm. Nothing like the flabby youngster he was when he first came up to the Nationals. | The arm that sagged last Summer | is about right again, Linke believes. “I can throw with it now and each “day it seems to become stronger,” he said. “I am sure a few warm days will bring it around to normal.” It was a nerve infection due to| shock that caused the arm to go “dead” last Summer, Linke said a Chi- cago physician told him. “I pitched a ball game in St. Louis on a very hot day last July and after I got to the club house I hung over my shoul- ders a towel that had been soaked in ice water,” Eddie related. “The next day I noticed a slight pain in.my pitching arm, but it didn’t last long, so0 I gave it no attention. That very likely was what started the trouble, my Chicago doctor said. “It was not until late in the Fall that there was an appreciable pulse in the arm, but since it has come along * rapidly. My wrist still is a trifle weak, but the doctor assures me it will be quite right soon.” And Harris is hoping the doctor is correct, for this Linke is a great pitch- ing prospect.

And wel- come, too, after four days made cold by a Norther sweeping down from snow-covered States. The warm weather so mellowed Manager Harris that he lifted the ban on golf for the Nationals at training camp and the | gang swarmed over the links hard by the ball park. “This business of no golf while at training camp never was my idea any- way,” Bucky remarked. “In fact, I think it is good for the players. Bet- ter have them walking around the course on nice bright afternoons than lounging in the hotel lobby or at a movie.” “They don't build up the legs they need so much in base ball while sitting down.” What a golfing club this has turned out to be. Even the rookies are keen for the old Scottish game. Reese Diggs stepped out to shoot a game not so bad. So did Syd Cohen and Frank Petticolas. Of course. Jack Russell and Bob Burke were on the links. They were pretty good, too. Earl Whitehill. Bump Hadley and Ed Linke en‘oved a threesome. Griff and Uncle Nick took on a pair of scribes. And there was a writers’ foursome also. They seem to like this game around the Nationals' camp. Put on Dress Parade. NAPPY dressers, these ball players down here. Warm weather brought out all the bright togs. Orville Armbrust, the Arkansas pitcher, was a tailor’s model in his black double- breasted jacket, cream flannels and two-tone footgear. Joe Mills, the Washington lad, gave the natives a treat with his heather knickers and mauve sweater. Henry Coppola. the New Englander, paraded in smart tweeds. Russell sported Shepherd plaid stacks | and a delicate blue pull-over. Burke was a sartorial knockout in a lemon ensemble sweater, plus fours and hose of sturdy yellow shade. But most startling of all was Altrock in purple trousers and flaming scarlet jersey. If this keeps up Biloxi stores will do| a big business in smoked glasses.

Redmond, who now lives in Mesa. near Phoenix, was brought up on horses it seems. He was riding when he was 3 years old and by the time he was 9 could keep up on a really bad broncho. He comes of a horse family. All his folks ride. His father is a ranger with the Arizona State constabulary |and there are no better equestrians than those rangers. | The rookie got his start in base ball at the University of Arizona and also took up polo there. It seems that this hard-riding sport has been a fa- vorite pastime at that school for !years.

These two were acquainted before coming to camp, but oddly, Arch Scrivener, the Alex- andrian, never had met either before. And Scrivener has played a lot of base ball in and about Washington. Scrivener, by the way, is Griffith's fair-haired boy at this camp. The big boss is confident Arch can’t miss as a pitcher. He certainly has all the motions of a fine pitcher. And he appears to know much about pitching, teo. Arch |is an exceptionally intelligent rookie, | is modest and ever ready to listen as the veteran moundsmen discuss the 7ame. If attentiveness will get him anywhere, he will go far in base ball. Grifith will tell you now that ever had at & Washington camp.

Balky Stewart Gets Warning | T Check in Tonight or Draw 30-Day Suspension Is Griffith’s Ultimatum—Whitehill Signs. By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. ILOXI, Miss, March 2.— Earl Whitehill tonight came to terms with Clark Grif- fith, Washington Club pres- ident, and signed a contract there- by leaving only two Nationals yet to get down on the line. Whitehill's acceptance of the contract followed a brief confer- ence with Griffith after the eve- ning meal. While neither the pitcher nor the boss would discuss the terms, it is believed Whitehill will toll for the same amount of pay he received last season. The two still out of the fold are Walter Stewart, pitcher, who was to have reported at camp yes- terday, and Lyn Lary, shortstop. Lary will not be tabbed officially as & holdout unless he fails to check in here on March 10, when 4 the final squad of Nationals will get down to conditioning work. Stewart, however, has aroused the ire of President Griffith by not reporting on time and today the boss wired the pitcher to get here by tomorrow night or suffer suspen- sion without pay for at least 30 days after the American League championship campaign starts. Stewart wired back that he wouldn't report. Should he change his mind and come to camp, Grif- fith says the southpaw must train at his own expense and get into condition satisfactory to Man- ager Bucky Harris before the sus- pension could be lifted. Griffith contends that while he cut Stewart’s salary, he made a fair offer, considering the poor pitching done by Walter last sea- son. Stewart won but 7 games and lost 11. He was not strong enough to enter many contests.

STAN, (Btaff Correspondent of The Star.) OLLEGE PARK, Md., March 2.—Before 5500 tensed spec- tators who packed every available inch of space in spacious Ritchie Coliseum, University of Maryland’s crack boxing team con- | tinued its unbeaten way tonight when an unsung sophomore heavyweight scored a stunning upset in his col- legiate debut to down the Cadets of West Point, 415 to 315 | Riddled with injuries which deprived | them of the sensational Ivan Nedo- matsky, lightweight champion of the Southern Conference; Lyman McAboy, Junior middleweight, and Heavyweight Al Farrell, the Terrapins staged a brilliant rally to overcome a 3-to-0 | lead compiled by the Army. | Duplicating the West Pointers’ feat in the lighter divisions, Maryland won three victories in a row to tie the | score av 3-all. A thrilling draw in | the light-heavyweight scrap still pre- served the deadlock and set the stage | for the heavyweight meet, final bout on the card. Birkland Upsets Dope. N THIS all-important scrap, John Birkland substituted for Farrell in jhe Maryland line-up and up- set the dope by scoring a hair-line decision over Army's highly-favored Bob Stillman to keep the Terps' duel- meet record unmarred. | It was the fifth win of the cam- paign for Maryland, which was tied only by Virginia. The boxing triumph gained Mary- land an even break in the sports | angle of tonight's all-university night | program, which also included a bas- | ket ball game with St. John's and a presentation of a colorful program of extra-curricula activities i@ which more than 300 Maryland students took part. St. John's scored a 24-17 | victory an the court | The cadet boxers who were installed slight favorites, lived up to expecta- tions 1n the lighter classes, but Coach Jack Harmony's ringmen exceeded ex- pectations in the heavier weights, It was Johnny Gormley rather than Birkland who was expected to gain | Marvland a victory in the last two bouts. But Gormley was fortunate to | get a draw while Birkland fooled the | cocky Stillman with a two-fisted at- tack. which floored the big Army bat- tler for a count of nine in the first round and earned such a lead that Stillman’s best efforts thereafter could not wipe out the margin. Army Gets Big Lead. ILLY BEARD, sharp-hooking Army 115-pounder. gave the visitors the lead when he rallied after a slow start to drop Jimmy Young, the Little Terrapin, for a nine count in the third round and win Referee Mil- ‘ler’s decision. Previously beaten only by Virginia's Archie Hahn this season, Young seemed to have an edge in the first round, but thereafter Beard's hooks found their mark. Beard won the second rourd strictly because of his left. but in the third he put across a straight right which caught Young on the jaw and floored him. Tom Birmingham, 125-pounder of the Terps, likewise caught a Tartar in West Point’s Jack Rhodes, a straight- punching youngster who carried too many guns for the game, but ineffec- tive. Old Liner. Rhodes easily won the decision to give Army a 2-to-0 lead. Birmingham was successful in gain- ing an even break in the first round, but thereafter it was all Rhodes. Army’s lead was quickly increased to 3 to 0 after the 135-pound bout, which found an untried Maryland youngster. Joe Jones, batting for Nedomatsky. It required only 1:25 for Army’s Bill Meany to stow away Jones. Meany quickly landed a right to Jones’ jaw, dropping the Ola Liner flat on his back, Jones took a count of nine, arose, and promptly ran into | another, right, which again floored him for nine tolls of Referee Miller's arm. Once again Jones picked himself up, but when Meany knocked him down a third time Miller stopped the affair, Webb Calls a Halt. ALTER WEBB, perhaps the best of the Terp boxers with Ne- | domatsky lost, won Maryland's | first point in the 145-pound scrap when he decisively outpointed Bill | Connor of the Cadets. Connor staged | & nice fight, however, climbing off the floor in the second round to finish as strong as he entered and was a threat to the end. Webb had a shade in the first round, | which CSonnor marred slightly by holding. In the second heat Webb caught Connor rushing in and dropped | the Cadet with a left to the jaw. Con- | nor was up at nine, however, and | seemed to have gained at least an | even break in the final session. Mike Lombardo, 155-pounder, re- | vived Maryland’s hopes of victory | when he climbed all over Army’s Car- | roll Bagby to win by a technical | knockout in the .hird round and bring | the score to 3 to 2. Lombardo was too experienced for the game Army lad, and after giving him a boxing lesson in the first two rounds, he dropped the Cadet for & count of nine in the final heat. McCaw’s Win Thrills. HE crowd went wild as Capt. Stewart McCaw of Maryland, twice winner of the 175-pound championship of the Southern Con- ference, scored a three-round decision over Kent Parrott to tie the score at 3-3 in the 165-pound bout. McCaw, dropping down a niche in the line-up because of Maryland's-in- jury epidemic, was far too clever for the West Pointer and seemed to earn an edge in all three rounds. A snaky left by McCaw gepeatedly found its mark, but Parrott remained dangerous until the end. Keeps Score a Tie. Johnny Gormley, hero of Maryland's victory over Penn State and man of the hour in the tie battle with Vir- ginia, was unequal to the task of in- creasing the Terps’ string of wins to (—cfimi;mumfi
