Stewart Now Balks at Paying Training Costs : Yanks Strange Without Sentenced to Do Another Stretch With Cleveland’s Indians Q[}HASING PENNANT FINALLY ACCEPTS 1,00 PAY OFFER Griff Adamant as to Camp Expenses—Hurler Likely to Give In Again. BY JOHN B. KELLER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ILOXI, Miss., March 13.—Wal- ter Stewart, veteran left-hand hurler, who did not like the salary offered by Clark Grif- fith and refused to report at training camp on time, now is eager to get back to base ball, but if he does so it must be done as the Nationals’ prexy wants Walter to do. The pitcher must meet Griffith’s terms. In a telephone conversation with the Washington club's boss yesterday Stewart said he was ready to yield on the salary question, that the $7,000 offer looked good to him after all and that he wanted to come to camp to train, “That's O. K. if you'll train at your own expense,” Griffith said. and the big boss backed up the conversa- tion with a wire to Stewart binding the proposition. Stewart could not see that “train- at-your-own-expense” business at all. He lost no time firing a message back to Griffith. It said: Exhibition Games By the Associated Press. Yesterday’s Results.

(This is the third of a series of stories giving first-hand impres- sions and outlining the prospects of major league base ball clubs for the coming season.) By the Associated Press. T. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 13.— The Yankees, Without Babe Ruth, look strange and a bit lonesome, for all the brisk- ness they are generating for the com- ing American League pennant chase. The separation of the “inseparables” no doubt was inevitable, under the circumstances, yet they can't quite forget the old “Bam,” whether his presence this year would have made any difference in the team’s cham- pionship prospects. “Frankly and fairly,” Manager Joe McCarthy says, “we will miss Ruth a great deal. He gave us a lot of help last season, all things considered, and I wish him the best of luck with the Braves. When a player like the Babe goes, it's idle to talk of filling his place. You can't replace ball players like the big fellow. I doubt if we | ever see his equal again. To my way | of thinking he was the greatest all- | around player, as well as the greatest | of all time.

He got right back at Stew- art with another wire like this: Sports Program In Local Realm emphasize that the Yankees again “You should understand status of your case is such that it is impossible Tor me have you report except on con- ditions outlined in telegram this morn- ing. Hope you change mind and come as training expenses not excessive in comparison with your salary. Please wire final decision.” Up to this morning nothing more had been heard from the balking box- man. The issue now is squarely up to him, for Giffith has said he will not budge an inch in his stand. Under the circumstances, the terms set forth by Griffith in his telegram confirming the offer made during the telephone conversation certainly are not harsh. Here is what the Na- tionals’ prexy wired to Walter: “If you desire to express perfect satisfaction at terms offered and want | to come here now and go in training with club at your own expense, with understanding you are not to go on pay roll until Manager Harris is sat- jsfied you are in condition to pitch, | O K for you to report.” | Is Base Ball Law. | HE terms offered, meaning thei $7,000 salary, satisfied Stewart, | and the matter of not going on | the pay roll until getting into playing | condition apparently did not bother him. After all, it is base ball law that | a player not reporting at training | camp on scheduled time must satisfy | his manager all is well physically be- fore getting in line for the semi- monthly check. But the business of paying his own | training expenses evidently made Stewart gasp. Yet it probably would not nick Stewart’s bank roll for more than $150 to train here. And as Griffith pointed out to Walter in the second telegram, that certainly is not excessive when it is considered that | the pitcher is getting himself in shape to drag down $7,000 from the | ‘Washington ball club’s treasury. Griffith sounds quite right when he | says the status of Stewart's case | makes it impossible for the club to pay the pitcher’s training expenses or to offer anything more than has been offered. To yield to Stewart after cracking the whip over other players who snubbed salary offers to get them into the fold would endanger the club’s morale. Step Held Essential. HE other players who finally bowed to the big boss would be | somewhat disgruntled by the acceptance of the worst holdout of all on his own conditions. It certainly would not make the Washington ball club one happy family. All other members of the club have played ball with Griffith and it is up to Stewart to do so. At that, he has no kick coming so far as the records go. He had a poor season last year. And he is getting along in age as ball players’ ages are reckoned. There cannot be much more pitching in his left arm, at least pitching of big league caliber. In every way it ap- pears as if Griffith has been and is more than fair to Walter. Griffith insists he has made his last move in the affair. It is now up to Stewart. It would occasion no sur- prise should the pitcher see everything Griffith’s way today. SEEK 140-POUND FOE.

EW ORLEANS—General manager Billy Evans of the Cleveland Indians, after a long look at his team, thinks the pitching depart- per cent better season.” Evans said he was equally well pleased with the infield, but admitted he wasn't entirely satisfied with the catching prospects. He is counting on the recovery of Glenn Myatt and Frank Pytlak from last season’s ail- ments to strengthen the catching.

Travis Socks Prodigious Bingle in Nationals’ Drill Same Clout in Griff Stadium Probably Would Land on Roof of Nearby Church. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ILOXI, Miss, March 13— B Cecil Travis, youthful third-sacker with the Na- tionals, has stepped into the ranks of reccrd makers. It is only a record for the Biloxi.ball park that Cecil holds, but a rec- ord that would look good in any yard where the natiomal pastime is put on. The Georgia boy socked one in batting practice yesterday that reached the right-field fence on the first bound and the right-field fence in the spacious Biloxi ball yard is 550 feet from the home plate. ‘What a wallop it was. High and handsome, It was just “bip-bop.” That’s how quickly the bound smacked against the fence. The ball must have landed within 10 feet of the barrier. Such a clout in Griffith Stadium ‘Washington would clear the right-field wall with plenty to spare. It probably would land on the roof of the church at Florida avenue and Bohrer street. No kidding. ‘The batting drill yesterday was somewhat of a final tune-up for the young hurlers who will chuck in the initial exhibition engage- ment Friday when the Albany club will be met here. Reese Diggs, right-hander carried over from last season; Arch Scrivener, the George Washington University southpaw who has Grifith wild about him; Orville Armbrust, ro- tund right-hander who was with the club a spell last season, and Henry Coppola, stocky North- eastern League product of ortho- dox persuasion, were among those hurling to the batters. They are to go Friday. and Scrivener will do the hurling for the Na- tionals. Armbrust and Coppola will toil for Albany, whose pitchers have not been at work long enough to permit their use a game this week. » all of Excepting the pitchers, the Washington aquad will see ac- tion Friday. Powell, the Wash- ington boy striving for Schulte’s job in center, and Schulte himself will share the middle field berth and lead off at bat. In the sec- ond notch will be the veteran Myer and Kress, both to be used at sec- ond base. Manush and Sington, the latter the busting batsman bought from Albany, are to play left and step to the plate third. Stone will be in the clean-up place and play through the game in right field. Travis, batting fifth, will have the third base work to himself. ‘The first-basing will be started by Kuhel. He will be relieved by Syd Cohen, bought from Chatta- nooga as & southpaw pitcher, Cohen, however, is a versatile ball player. He has worked at first base and in the outfield. And he looks a hitter. Manager Harris does not think it will hurt Cohen to take a turn other than at pitch- ing. ;n seventh place in the batting order will be the catchers, Bolton, the veteran, and Holbrook and Redmond, the reokies, will get into the game. In eighth place in the hitting list will be the shortstops, Lary and Bluege. According to Harris, Lary, the transfer from the Red Sox, will start at the posi- tion. Excepting Whitehill and Hadley, who still is sniffing, all hands at camp are in good physical trim, and these two are improving rap- idly. Whitehill says much of the soreness has gone out of the left arm that is expected to do the Nationals a deal of good this year. A few warm days and it will be normal again, he believes. It will take more heat than the club had here yesterday and has today. There has been & lot of sunshine, but little heat. An addition to Trainer Martin's squad today was Bottle Cox, the roly poly Washington umpire. Bottled donned four heavy woolen shirts and two sweaters and trotted about the ball yard, hoping to shed much Winter weight before he gets behind the bat to call ’em in Fri- day’s game, Bottle must get rid of a dozen pounds before he can see over his nose.
