FIGURES N THIRD OF GRIFF TALLIES Hits All Kinds of Hurling in | Training Games for Average of .405. BY JOHN B. KELLER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. HATTANOOGA, Tenn., March 30.—Jonathan Stone, the thumping Tennessean des- tined to cover the clean-up &pot in the Nationals batting order this year, looks is if he had the goods to make good in a big way. If what this portside puncher has done in exhi- bition games is a true indication of his power in pinches, the Washington ball club won't miss Joe Cronin in attack. Over a span of five years Cronin, now piloting the Red Sox, swung the most potent bat on the Washington club when there were runners to be rammed over the counting block. ‘When Joe was shunted to the Boston club in the biggest cash deal in base ball history Capital fandom won- dered what was left to get the boys home. It looks now as if Stone is the answer. In the training tussles the lithe Jonathan has larruped the leather at s neat .405 rate and done much of his larruping when there were mates on the runways waiting to complete the trip. He has hit all kinds of pitching and the left-handers he has faced failed to check him. In only one of the nine games in which he has participated did he go without a safety. ‘Thus far he has batted across seven runs. Knocking scores across at the same rate over the 154-game champion= hip season stretch, Stone would wing up with a record of 120. And very few of the batters who specialize in hitting when there are runs to be had manage to surpass that mark. Hits Apple Cleanly. TONE in the exhibitions not only has batted across seven runs, but has toted across as many him- self. He has been directly responsi- ble for nearly one-third of the tally- ing done by the Nationals in the Spring gambols. In the nine games Stone has swung hard. Fifteen hits have legped from his hot bat, and every one a sharp, powerfully driven hit. Among the hits have been a home run, a triple and two doubles. Stone has been tim- ing his swing well from the start of the batting drills and this splendid timing has had infielders as well as pitchers ducking. This fine batting exhibition by Stone has Bucky Harris all smiles. The manager envisions a Stone swatting this year as he did in 1931, when he batted at a .327 clip, drove in a vast number of runs and was acclaimed the | player most valuable to the Detroit | ball club. Bucky, who was pilot of the Tigers at that time, says the Stone of that season was the most reliable batter he ever saw around a ball club. “If he gives us that kind of hitting, and it looks as if he might, Cronin’s great punch won’t be missed,” says Harris. “Stone was & power at bat ‘with the Tigers even when he did not have much confidence in himself. He has that confidence now, though, and ought to become one of the best clean-up batters in the business.” Need Mental Exercise. \ME Nationals never got out to see the farm today, for rain swept down the Valley of the ‘Tennessee, but they are hoping to put on a Sunday tussle with the Lookouts here. Another downpour would be Just too bad, for the club needs much polishing before it is ready for the championship campaign. As they now are, Harris’ charges are plenty brawny after weeks of conditioning work, but somewhat shy of base ball brains. This intellectual development must come from playing base ball, and with the season inaug- ural little more than two weeks away every game. washed off the schedule by rain hurts the ball club. You would think that veteran ball players such as flll the ranks of the Nationals would need no schooling in the intricacies of the pastime in which they earn their livelihood, but it is not so. They become sluggish in mind as well as body during the Winter lay-off and require much drilling in fundamentals during the training period. Official weather forecasts for this region are not so heartening so far as tomorrow is concerned, but if a game is played the pitching against the Chattanooga club will be done by Leon Pettit, left-hander lifted from the Lookouts, and Al Thomas, orthodox wvet. Pettit is slated to take a six- inning turn. Should the weather get right Walter Stewart, left-hander now training at his own expense after re- Sports Program In Local Realm TOMORROW. Boxing.

The blood pressure lessened daily until the pulse was almost gone. “This tensing of the muscle results in a clamping down on the nerve af- fecting the arm’s blood stream. And when that happens you get the same effect as would follow the application of a torniquet to the arm. The blood- flow virtually would cease. “That’s what happened to Linke. He is mighty lucky to have recovered the way he has. Causes Tuberculosis. OU know, this constant warfare between the frent and the back muscles is partly re- sponsible for the many cases of tu- berculosis that occur in old ball play- ers. Derangement of the back muscles between the shoulder and the spine frequently affects nerves that have to do with the blood feeding into the lung tissues. A general breakdown follows and the way is open to pul- monary diseases. “In ordinary pursuits, a person does not bring about this warfare between the front and back muscles as the ball player does so much. Allments such as have hit Hadley and Linke are rare outside of base ball. There are plenty cases in the game, though. Enough to keep me busy. “The trouble might go along three or four years and the pitcher's arm be restored to a normal condition. Neglected fonger than that, however, the pitcher probably would be .
