Griff Fin FVE CLUBSSPURN “HoLD0LT PTCHER Battle Will Start Monday for Center Field and Shortstop Jobs. BY JOHN B. KELLER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ILOXI, Miss., March 9.—It be- gins to look as if Crossville, Tenn., might see a great deal | of Walter Stewart this year | unless the balking batteryman revises his estimation of his worth to the ‘Washington ball club and makes peace with Clark Griffith. So far as five American League outfits are con- cerned the veteran portside pitcher may remain at home. | Griffith has tried to peddle Stewart about the circuit. Only the Athletics and the White Sox have not been con- tacted by the Nationals’ big boss. And Griffith figures neither of these aggre- gations would care for Walter. The prexy did think that the Indians could employ a veteran left- | hander. Their curving corps is of a decidedly right-handed type. But the | Indians were not at all interested. | And the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers | and Browns when approached had | nothing more to say than “no thank | ou.” All of this just about leaves Stewart | out in the cold so far as the American League goes. Whether any National Leagu club could use the pitcher is yet to be learned. It is certain that if one could, Griffith would encounter no difficulty in waiving Walter out of the junior major circuit. Kerr Off Players List. UCKY HARRIS announced today | that the Nationals infield and outfield squads as at present | constituted will be carried into the championship campaign. The mana- | ger also revealed that Johnny Kerr, | at times an infield substitute last sea- son, now is definitely off the players | list and will serve as a coach only. | Monday, when the entire squad will | be assembled at training camp, bat- | tles for two positions in the line-up will get under way. All excepting the shortstop and center field berths are filled as they were last season. It will be up to Lyn Lary, the pick- up from the Red Sox, to prove himself superior to Ossie Bluege in order to aquire the place in the shortfield. Fred Schulte must clearly establish his right to retain the middle garden post or be supplanted by Al Powell, the Washington boy, who was bought from Albany. Neither a Strong Hitter. HE fight between Lary and Bluege promises to be a hot one. Lary may prove somewhat stronger offensively than Bluege, but the lat- ter undoubtedly is a far better player defensively. With so much batting power spread about the remainder of the infield the club well could afford to carry in its line-up such a briliant fielder as Bluege even though he bats not so high. At that, cold statistics make Bluege | look better thag Lary in attack. Ossie | has a major league career batting average of .273. Lyn's is .268. Last year Ossie batted at a ,246 clip, Lyn at one of .241. However, Lyn has been the more productive hitter. He has the better rating for hitting | when there are runs to be shoved | across the plate. Lary has the advantage in age. | He is liftle more than 29, while Bluege will be 35 this year. The newcomer | to the Washington club’s ranks has | something on Bluege in speed, too, | something to be exepected of younger underpinning. But Lary will have to show much more at bat and a lot of fast footwork to convince Manager Harris that he instead of Bluege should start the sea- son at shortfield. For Bluege is a marvel afield. Ossie will take a lot ©of beating before he misses the job. Schulte in Tough Spot. ITTING power will decide the issue in the center field scrap. Should Powell indicate he can wallop big league pitching at some- thing like a .320 clip—and he hit far above that in the International League last season—he will get the berth. He is fully as good a fielder as Schulte. And Schulte is something under a .300 hitter. Indications are that Fred will have to put up a whale of a battle to retain his post as a regular. The Nationals were hoping to get in a good workout today after a day of idleness. Rain fell in torrents all of | ¢ yesterday, and the athletes never left their hotel. It was the fifth successive day for rainfall here, but only the first which did not permit some kind of conditioning work being done by the ball club. Unless the sun soon shines on Blloxi again, the squad will have to be driven at an unusually brisk pace when it does settle to training once more. The prevailing weather may mean that some place other than Biloxi will be selected by Griffith as a training spot for his Nationals next year. He seems to be getting fed up with the Tain and cold. Only once has there been a bit of fine weather since this Cronin Discovers Hot First Sacker By the Associated Press. ARASOTA, Fla.—After watching Ellsworth (Babe) Dahlgren, up from the San Francisco Missions, do his stulf about first base, Manager Joe Cronin of the Boston Red Sox has quit worrying about that position.

EKSON GLEEF AT THRD CORNER Shifted to Make Room at Short for Bartell, He Sees Rest for Legs. By the Associated Press. IAMI BEACH, Fla.—Travis Jackson, who'll shift to third base for the New York Giants this year, is chortling with glee over the trade that brought Shortstop Dick Bartell to the club. “Boy, my old legs are going to get plenty of rest this year,” he yells when he sees Bartell roaming far and wide for pop flies in left field. Cards Gratify Frisch. RADENTON, Fla.—Looking toward the opening exhibition gnme‘ of the 1935 season, Manager Frankie Frisch expressed satisfaction today at the way his St. Louis National champion Cardinals were rounding into form. The Cards play the Phillies here next Tuesday. Joe Medwick, hard-hitting outfielder from Carteret, N. J., arrived in camp last night and was scheduled to dis- cuss salary terms and contract sign- ing today with President Sam Brea- don. Changes Ryan’s Stance. INTER HAVEN, Fla.—Manager | Jimmy Wilson today” dipped his fingers into the big-league whirlpool and plucked out a new bat- ting stance for Blondy Ryan, Phillles’ shortstop. Hereafter, says Wilson, Ryan will try to emulate the batting technique of Fred Lindstrom, Cubs infielder, since Ryan is built along the same lines as Lindstrom, and has the same | batting difficulties that harassed the Cub before he changed his stance. Cubs Should, Be Ducks. VALON. Calif. —Two innings is the extent of base ball played so far by Chicago's Cubs. Fifty gallons of gasoline were burned on the infield yesterday to get it dry, but after two innings of a game between the regulars and yannigans rain fell again, washing out the contest. Bucs’ Camp Pleases Frick. AN BERNARDINO, Calif.—The S rain’s_over, the ground’s drying out, Ford Frick thinks the Pi- rates are improved over last year and everything is fine in the Bucs’ camp. The National League president paid the camp a visit and expressed himself as well pleased at the entire layout. Leslie Is Ambitious. RLANDO, Fla.—Sam Leslie, who led the Brooklyn sluggers last season with a .332 average, is trying out a different hitting style this Spring. Instead of using a short swing and pushing his hits toward left fleld, Sam has decided to try to pull his wallops toward the shorter right-field fences. 7 MERRICK BOYS VICTORS.

PLACING SWATTERS PUZZLES JOHNSON Has Seven Potent Maulers to Consider—Yanks Havg Third Base Trio. —— By the Associated Press. EW ORLEANS.—Manager Walter Johnson of the Cleve- land Indians is worrying about finding a place near the top of the batting list for all of his heavy sluggers. With the exhibition games ap- proaching, Johnson hasn't been able to figure how to distribute the talents of such potent batters as Bill Knick- erbocker, Joe Vosmik, Earl Averill, Hal Trosky, Bad News Hale and Bruce Campbell. The Indians haven't seen the sun since Monday and were forced to call off their practice yesterday. Fixed at Far Corner. T. PETERSBURG, Fla—The ‘Yankees seem to be well fortified with third-base candidates- this season. In addition to Myril Hoag, who has been experimentally converted from an outflelder to an infielder, there are Red Rolfe, who finished last season at third, and Jack Saltzgaver, who occupied the corner part of last year. Howell Still a Student. AKELAND, Fla.—"Dixie” Howell, Alabama’s base ball and foot ball star, started working out with the Detroit Tigers today. “So far as I am concerned these fellows are the boys who wrote the book about base ball” he said. “I came here with my ears wide open.

EST PALM BEACH, Fla, March 9.—Rogers Hornsby, the great Rajah, figures that if Babe Ruth, at 41, can do it—what's the matter with him at 38, practically a child by com- parison? “I'm afraid to think right now of what it may mean,” says the manager of the spirited Browns, “but I haven't felt this good since I broke my ankle with the Cubs three years ago. If it keeps up, I'll have a whack at solving some of our infield problems myself.” Hornsby, once the greatest batter in i BiLOxt= MiS§.eess the National League, as great in fact as base ball knew, is working harder than any rookie in his camp. He's in splendid shape. He weighs about 190, which is fine for him because he's a big, powerful fellow. He never smokes or drinks, so there's no question of his general condition. Too Slow for Shortstop. “ Y FEET and ankles, always my weak spot, have stood up per- fectly so far,” he says, as he gently taps wood just for luck. “The heel that was operated on hasn't bothered me a bit. I'm not fast enough any more to play shortstop, but if things go on this way right up to the season, I may be starting in there in any other place in the infield.” Rogers started out almost the same way last Spring, but he couldn’t keep it up. He thinks now he knows why. To get in shape before coming down here for Spring training he worked hard two months on a wooden gym floor in St. Louis. His feet bothered him some, but he finally rounded into shape. Then he College Grad, Seen as Great All-Around Diamond Manager.
