Whitehill Quiets Talk of Sore Wing : Once & EARL ZIPS APPLE IN PAINLESS TOIL Southpaw,His Mind at Ease, | Looks Good for Twenty Wins This Year. BY JOHN B. KELLER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. & ILOXI, Miss., March 14.—Like | the report of Mark Twain’s demise when the famous hu- morist still was in his prime, garns published at length concerning the sad state of Earl Whitehill's pay- | off arm turn oul to be gross exag- gerations. The southpaw's salary limb fs in as good condition as reasonably might oe expected at this stage of the train- ing campaign and there is every rea- son to believe that Whitehill will be one of the Nationals' pitching stal-| warts as rhose in charge of the club have figured all alcng. The veteran southpaw's flinging wing has not been alarmingly sore since Earl began training here and today he is bearing down as he pitches n long practice sessions without suf- fering any twinges in the supposedly‘ ailing limb. ’ . True, there was a slight stiffness in the arm, but it resulted from exposure | during the protracted damp spell here. | A few massages by Trainer Mike Mar- tin relieved that condition and right now Whitehill is able to steam ’‘em through with the best of the lot in the big flinging flock at Biloxi field. Smokes Ball to Bolton. [ A CCORDING to Trainer Martin, there never was cause for worry about Whitehill's arm, even though the pitcher complained of the pain in it. No heat treatments were tried and none are contemplated. Martin’s efforts brought the arm around to rair form quickly and since Earl has pitched the limb into good trim. In a long workout yesterday the southpaw chucked to Catcher Bolton. After a few loosening throws White- hill let out and the ball repeatedly sunk into Bolton's big mitt with re- sounding thwacks. Earl was throw- ing as no pitcher with a sore arm could throw. He used that odd wind- up of his and put all he had into his last dozen pitches. They were regu- lar season heaves. And today Whitehill says there is no soreness at all in the arm and he believes it will withstand any rea- sonable strain that pitching might put on it. If general condition counts as it is believed to do, Whitehill should prove as valuable to the Nationals this sea- son as he was in the pennant-winning campaign of 1933. Then he won 22 games to make the best season record ever for him in the majors. Earl came to this camp in far better trim than he was when he reported here in 1933. Then he had a lot of extra flesh to shed. This time as a re- sult of his work with the American League all-stars during their tour of the Orient last Fall he got there not 50 far above his usual playing weight. And he is training down without any | great effort. Capable of 20 Victories. HITEHILL should be in the pink when the flag fighting starts next month, ready to back a sound arm with a strong body. In that condition, a score of victories in the season would not seem too large | an order for the chunky chucker. Manager Harris is enthusiastic over the speed with which Whitehill is rounding into form. When with the ‘Tigers Whitehill was an unusually slow trainer, Harris says. The start of the season usually found the pitcher still off edge and this handicapped him and his club no little in the early going. At peak Whitehill was hard to beat, but he took much punishment from opposing batters before reaching his best form. If Whitehill manages to start on edge this time—and it now looks as if he will—the pilot is confident the portside pitcher will do much toward getting the Nationals away well in the championship chase. It is important that this time White- hill s going about his training with his mind at ease, apparently well | satisfied with conditions about the camp and the club. Last season Earl came into the fold not so well pleased after losing a salary argument with President Griffith and generally at odds with everything about the club. This certainly affected his conditioning work and as a consequence he never, at any time during the Ylag race was his real pitching self. He had his good days, but they were few and far between. In a better mood this year, however, there should be more of these good days for White- hill. He believes there will be—and 30 do those engaged in making the Na- tionals a club to be reckoned with in . the impending American League cam- n. PORTS cop BY ROD | shoes is going high hat!

Both Clayton Henson, metropolitan champion, and Deadpan Raymond Frye, Henson's runner-up, have beaten Nunamaker's best average for 200 shoes and according to Thompson at least could make it hot in straight competition for the trick shot special- ist and former national title holder. | And while we're on the subject you | may look for the biggest horseshoe or | ringer season ever, by far, in Wash- | ington.

USTIN, Tex, March 14.—Wil- mer Allison the Nation's No. 1 tennis star, has tossed aside for the present, his rackets and thoughts of Davis Cup competi- tion to concentrate on winning a short-wave radio contest. Nobody Gives McColl a Tumble, but Old Man Of Pitching Peak Declares He’s Improved By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ILOXI, Miss., March 14.—While Manager Bucky Harris is paying considerable attention to a lot of young pitching re- cruits at training camp here, old Alex McColl is toiling pretty much on his own and chucking in right impressive manner. The right-hander who stuck in the minors nearly a score of years before coming up to his first major job does not know whether he has any chance of sticking with the club this year, but he is not quitting because no one in charge seems to give him a tumble. “They haven't said a word to me since I started training,” said McColl today. "I don’t know whether I'll remain with the club or not. Well, that's base ball. Here today, gone to Chattanooga tomorrow. But I do know that I am better right now than «at any other time since I joined the ‘Washington club.” Which was something for Alex to L] | say, as he did a sweet piece of relief | pitching sgainst the Giants in that |sad 1933 world series. “I mean that my arm is far better | than at any other time” Alex ex- plained. “You'll recall that after the world series I had an operation on my elbow. Well, it did not seem to do me much good last year The stiffened and I never could get ing the way I wanted. “It’s different now. The old arm is as loose as ever and 1 can send 'em through right well, But they never say anything to me at this camp un- less they need somebody to shoot 'em to the batters.” Then Harris yelled “McColl,” and old Alex trotted to the hill to show the swingers he still had something left in the ancient soupbone. The Nationals are getting gobs of batting practice these days. They were up there swinging for more than two hours yesterday and every one of the veteran flingers in camp, as well as several rookies, had turns on the mound, arm 8o~ The main thumping was done by Al Powell, Washington's own; Jack Stone and Joe Kuhel. These batters poled several long ones, Powell especially giving the leather a sound larruping. There is no doubt about Pcwell pos- sessing a lot of batting power. It re- mains to be seen whether he can hit big-league pitching, however. All the power in the world would mean noth- ing if the hurlers have it on the hit- ters. A peppery infleld practice was held vith all six of the infield group par- “icipating and Syd Cohen, most ver- satile player with the Nationals, and Joe Mills, Washington sandlotter here to learn something of big-league base ball, as well. Cohen toiled tor a time at first base, and so did Mills after working a while ut second base. Mills handled himself nicely at the middle post. He breaks well to either side, picks up the ball cleanly and gets it away with speed. There might be a spot for him somewhere in the minors. But Joe wants to keep away from first base. They need them longer than he is for the initial station job. Allison, Foresaking Tennis for Time Being To Play With Radio, Contacts 17 Countries He even has thrown down his off- season standby, golf, in a zealous effort to contact more amateurs in distant parts of the globe than any other American operator. He spends many hours daily before a powerful short-wave set in the basement of gilsl apartment tinkering with the als. “I'm forgetting about everything else until this contest is over,” Allison laughingly remarked. “It will be con- cluded next week and I expect to begin my tennis work in earnest then to get in condition for competition. I'm having lots of fun. I talked yes- terday to a fellow in India, but I can’t pronounce his name.” With the contest half over, Allison has contacted 17 countries and feels that he has a good chance to win. Although Allison has shunted every- thing aside to play with his radio, he that when he goes into training he can reach top form in double-quick time. He has lost 5 or 6 pounds this Winter. “I always lose in the Winter, be- cause I don’t eat as ‘much as when I'm playing hard,” he said. Allison is fully recovered from an attack of influenza that sent him to bed early in January, but doesn’t ex- pect to do much playing before the middle of May. Except for a few practice games, he has played only once since the end of last year's campaign. He definitely has decided against entering early tournaments at Pine- hurst and White Sulphur Springs, but will play in Houston, Tex., April 1, and possibly go to Atlanta later. Allison said he would like to skip the American zone eliminations and does not, at present, intend to enter. | Sidney Woods and “two or three [N runs 5 or 6 miles every morning $0 | young players” likely will be picked for the Davis Cup squad, in Allison’s opinion. “Frankie Parker ought to be on the |squad,” he said. *“Johnny Van Ryn | likely can have a place if he will | accept.” Van Ryn is Allison’s old | doubles partner.
