By » Staft Correspondent of The Star. ILOXI, Miss., March 16.—Wal- ter Stewart, southpaw slab- bing veteran, who signed only late Thursday night after squawk- ing at length about accepting & contract for $7,000, a reduction of $1,000 from last year, is in such fine shape physically that he prob- ably will have to train not more than the two weeks remaining at camp to get himself in condition to hurl acceptably to Manager Bucky Harris. Clark Griffith, president of the Washington Ball Club, had stip- ulated that Stewart, a hold-out, must train at his (Stewart’s) own expense to the complete satisfac- tion of Manager Harris before be- ing recognized as being in good standing with the ball club. Walter checked in, after an off-season de- voted to hunting and working about his farm near Crossville, Tenn., in excellent condition, so he has not much to bother about to get himself primed for pitching. Stewart comes into.the Na- tionals’ ranks without acrimony. He now realizes that he sized up Griffith’s salary proposal in an un- fair way. The terms offered by the club’s big boss are, after a rather bitter argument, considered fair by Stewart and he is prepared to give the Nationals all he has in a pitching way. Stewart has joined the club in complete harmony with every other player on the roster. GUARANTEED POTOMAC TIRE CO. 28th & M N.W. ILLUSTRATED 1612 You St. N.W.
