APITAL fandom, for your first glimpse of the Nationals this year you may visit Griffith Stadium tomorrow afternoon. ‘With Bucky Harris, the prodigal man- | ager, back on the job the ball club | will show its wares in an eghibition engagement with the Braves of Boston. It will be pretty much the same | ball club that the Capital saw last | year, at least in the early part of the | campaigning. Your ball club will put out the same outfield that began the | 1934 season. There will be one change in the infleld. Lyn Lary will take care of the short-field post that Joe Cronin handled. i The catching will be done by CIif Bolton, no stranger to Washington fans, and part of the pitching will be done by Monte Weaver, the slender slinger who has decided that meat, after all, is an essential part of one’s diet.

Harris Is Optimistic. ~ A ANAGER HARRIS, is confident, though, that the series of tilts to be staged on the flield in Griffith Stadium and at Newark this ‘week will bevel the rough edges and have the Nationals in fair condition for the pennant pursuit to get under way & week from tomorrow. ‘The ball club was to get home early enough today to put in an afternoon of practice at the Georgia avenue ball vard. All hands were to report at the park at 1 o'clock, and Harris planned to send them through a three-hour drill. Batting was to be the main of the practice. That is some- hing the Nationals sorely need after their weather-broken tour. ‘The pitchers will have to get their final tuning-up in the exhibition tus- sles this week. And they need much df it, too. No member of the Wash- ington curving corps has been under fire for more than 15 innings since e training tilts began. There is uch more seasoning to be done. Among affairs Manager Harris was to discuss with Clark Griffith, presi- | dent of the club, this afternoon was the restoration of Walter Stewart, long-time hold-out pitcher, to good standing with the Nationals, and the disposition of Archie Scrivener, left- hand hurler, picked up from the George Washington University nine. Bucky Likes Scrivener. TEWART, although he looked none | too good in his season debut against the Cubs in Chicago Satur- day afternoon, has trained faithfully and earnestly. Harris, on the way home from the West, said he was T to recommend that the club foot the pitcher’s training expenses instead of compelling the pitcher to pay his own as Griffith had insisted when Stewart signed after spurning for several weeks terms offered. Scrivener is regarded highly by Harris, and the manager wants the youngster planted with some minor club likely to give him the necessary polish that might make him a big leaguer. It is understood that Harris- burg, an Albany subsidiary in the New York-Pennsylvania League, will get Scrivener. The weather jinx pursued the Na- tionals to the last on their barnstorm- ing tour. Snow in Chicago prevented a meeting with the Cubs. The only ‘break the Washington club got out of the fall was a chance to get an early train home. They grabbed one short- ly after noon that landed them in the Capital early today. MIDDY RIFLES BEST Mark Up Record Score to Retain Small-Bore Championship.

The Bambino will be on view at Griffith Stadium on the morrow, when the Boston outfit tangles with Bucky Harris’' gang in its first appearance here this season. Eucky More Settled, Polished and Is Wiser Than as “Kid” Leader, but Retains Old Fire BY JOHN B. KELLER. Btafl Correspondent of The Star. LEVEN years ago a ball player in his late twenties assumed charge of the Washington world by leading the club and amazed the sports | club to an American League pennant and world | championship in his first year as manager, With Stanley Raymond Harris little heralded before his surpfising ap- pointment to the pilot’s post by Clark Griffith, his great success in the 1924 campaign was regarded as nothing short of a base ball miracle. ‘Today, after a severance of relationship ex- tending over six years, Harris has another base ball miracle to perform —the yanking of a once-good club | from the deep chasm into which it | toppled last season. And Bucky more than likely is to make good again, for he is back with the Nationals a smarter, shrewder and more resourceful tactician, a leader of greater breadth than the “boy wonder” who was Washington’s hero after that first pennant-winning campaign, Could Think in Pinches. 'OUNG, brilliant, fiery, a player in the ranks when he first as- sumed the management of the ‘Washington club, Harris handled his charges wonderfully well. His judg- ment in the heat of battle was un- canny. His control of players of varying temperaments was something remarkable. His was the leadership that welded a lot of players widely | s0 young as he at the time, in Bucky’s | differing in type into a band in which | conduct of the Nationals after pen- | individualism was submerged, a band | nants were won in his first two years having only one objective—to become | at the helm. It was this let-down a winning ball club. | that brought about his separation | In Harris' early years as manager | {rom the Washington club after the of the Nationals, I was closely acso- | 1928 campaign.

But his early clubs, keen-minded, capable | he made a good job of it, considering | players, but almost every one of them what he had at hand, strongly individualistic.

And he knew how to | | do that, although it was not often he had to go to such an extreme. | It was with this ability to control | | his players, to keep them in line, to make them a harmonious group work- | ing at all times for the best interests of the ball club that Harris impressed | me particularly as a manager in those days. As a tactician he always was a “natural.” TRunning a ball club on the field was nothing for him to worry | about. He sensed plays instinctively. | He is the same today as a field general | | from what I have observed in his | | direction of the Nationals in their ex- l hibitions this Spring. | And he has come back to the Wash- | ington club perhaps with sounder judgment as a director of play than | he had in his first managerial term. | Harris still takes chances in play that | often seem to risk his club’s ultimate | success, yet calm analysis made later | reveals that his strategy was well within reason and shrewdly calculat- ed before its practice was ordered. | Through the decade after rising to a managerial post, Bucky had to “out- | guess” many master minds in the | game and naturally he profited | through experience. As a leader, Harris most certainly has advanced. There was a let-down, perhaps to have been expected in one Personality Is Dominant. ARRIS has settled, but certainly not softened, since his first managerial connection with | the Washington ball club. In the 20s, Bucky was an inspiring leader, clever and with a vivid personality. Today he guides his charges steadily, but with spirit; he is shrewd and saga- | cious, possessed of a keen sense of proportion, and he dominates the club with a forceful personality. Harris still remains a fighter, but not of the old rough-and-tumble type. Along the way back to the Nationals he has learned more poi- ished, yet none the less effective, means of handling his club and his men. ‘The Washington ball club should be all the better for this vast im- provement in its guiding genius. BATTLES THIS WEEK PEP RING INDUSTRY | Ross Defends Title, Olin Keeps Crown in Storage, Louis Meets Rising Star. By the Associated Press EW YORK, April 8—Business picks up sharply in the fight industry this week, with one champion risking his title, another fighting a leading challenger in an overweight match, and young Joe Louis, Detroit Negro heavyweight con- tender, seeking to add one more victory to an undefeated record. Barney Ross of Chicago, world lightweight and junior welterweight champion, risks the lesser of these two crowns against Henry Woods, Yakima, Wash., Negro, in a 12-round bout at Seattle tomorrow. At San Prancisco Friday Bob Olin of New York, world light-heavyweight champion, tackles John Henry Lewis, Phoenix, Ariz., Negro, in a non-title 10-rounder. Lewis is regarded by many experts as the uncrowned 175- pound champion, and Olin may be in for a warm evening. Louis, matched to fight Primo Car- nera here in June in his first major test, will try to sharpen up his punch- ing weapons at the expense of Roy Lazer, rising young New Jersey star, at Chicago on Priday. This bout also is slated for 10 rounds. ' CALVIN GRIFFITH GOES Son of Diamond Magnate Will Run ’Nooga’s Business Affairs. Calvin Griffith, adopted son of the owner of the Wi base ball club, entrained last night for Chatta- nooga to become the Lookout's busi- ness manager and secretary-treasurer.

The Grays are second- half winners, and the Bakers captured honors in the first half. The teams will meet again Wed- nesday night and a third game, if necessary, will be played Thursday. {RUDY DUSEK DOUBTS 0’MAHONEY’S PLUCK | Declares Referee Kept Him From Beating :Danno in Boston. Meet Here Thursday. LTHOUGH Jim Browning, George Zaharias and Dick Shikat have found occasion to recommend Danno O'Mahoney as one of the greatest prospects to invade the beavyweight wrestling game in years, Rudy Dusek, who opposes the County Cork Irishman at the Washington Auditorium Thursday night, begs to differ. In other words, Danno, despite the sensation created by his “Irish Whip” in this country, not yet has proved to Rudy’s complete satisfaction that he can “take it.” _ “O'Mahoney looked good with a flock of wild Irishmen cheering him on and some of us rougher boys being handcuffed by the referees,” Rudy reasons, “but once one of us can sail into him without fear of being dis- qualifiet we may tear him apart. “Every move I made in our Boston bout was checked on by the official who threatened to disqualify me four times. With a club like that hanging over my head I had little chance to BOWIE’S FIRST WEEK | IS DECIDED SUCCESS | Five Windows Added for Daily | gent Double—Two Stake Races Slated Saturday. By the Associated Press. OWIE, Md, April 8.—The $5,000 Southern Maryland Handicap and the $2,000 Bowie Kinder- garten Stakes today headed a busy week of racing here, The two features next Saturday will close the first two weeks of Spring racing in Maryland. Bowie officials said the first week was a decided success, and hoping to cash in further on the highly popular innovation—the daily double—they added five windows for such wagers. Nominees to date, with others ex- pected by mall, for the handicap, over a mile and a sixteenth for 3-year-olds | and up, include: B. B. Stable’s Good Harvest, winner of last Saturday's feature; E.

BALL TEAM LODKS BEST SINCE 1520 Lacrosse, Tennis and Track Squads of High Order. G. U. Hit on Grid. . BY H. C. BYRD. HATEVER may be the final outcome of its schedules, the University of Maryland has the best outlook for a successful seagon with its Spring teams it has had since it first attained promi- nence in the intercollegiate athletic world, | Not the least doubt exists that the |base ball and lacrosse teams are able to stack up with the best in their respective fields, while the track and tennis squads unqestionably are at the peak, as far as Maryland in these fields is concerned. Let us take a glance at the Mary- land nine, for example. Coach Ship- ley, without a good deal of practice, has it playing heads-up ball and has better material to play heads-up ball with than has been in Maryland uni- forms since 1920. The find of the Spring in base ball seems to be Charley Keller, who may have some superior in college ranks when it comes to clouting any kind of pitching, but, if he has, that superior has not been seen in these parts. Gormley and Love are an excellent pair of catchers; Willis, Merryman and Loker form a hurling staff about as good as any | college can hope to have, and the | infield and outfleld measure up to | the same high standard. Of those that | graduate this year, McAboy, third | baseman, deserves a chance in pro- | fessional ball Has Star Stick Combination. HE main strength of the lacrosse team is in the attack, where Christhilf and Ellinger form a combination that will be difficult for any college ten to stop. The re- mainder of the team also is good, but in this pair the Old Line scoring hopes | lie, and in the last analysis scores win games. With all its veteran strength, the Mount Washington Club, | to be met by Maryland this week, is | going to have its hands full. Widmyer, to win both dashes in every dual meet in which Maryland takes part, should be the backbone of | the track and fleld squad, but he will | be ably assisted by a good many young- | sters of more than average ability. | Headley, Sonen, Archer, Beall, Evans | have fine possibilities in the running | events, while Slye and Beers in the hurdles and jumps and Drake and | Guckeyson in the field competitions | have even chances for victories in most of their meets. “We'll have the best balanced tennis | team that ever has been on this | campus, and we'll win at least five of the eight matches scheduled,” is the way Les Bopst, in charge of and | coaching tennis, sums up his thoughts | about thst sport. As many victories as | Bopst feels are in the offing should | be enough to provide Maryland with & | far more successful season than it has been wont to achieve on the courts. From the nature of an orphan child, | tennis this year may become something | closely akin to the prodigal son res turped. Where Pros, Amateurs Differ. | @ OMEBODY once said that the dif+ ference between a professional and an amateur in any sport is that the professional knows he has got to win, while the amateur is in for the sport’s sake and knows he does not have to win. This implies that the professional puts greater effort into his sport to win and is willing to take more chances and go to greater lengths to achieve victory. | Neither of these surmises is wholly true, { and sometimes not even partly. Cere tainly few professionals are willing to take as long chances of getting hurt ias the amateur is willing to take, | Furthermore, it is doubtful if the professional puts forth any greater genuine effort to win. It is possible that the professional may do things | that the amateur would not. but this { implies a lack of sportsmanship in | professional athletics that professionals i would deny indignantly. | The difference between professional | athletes and amateur athletes is the | same difference that exists between | the professional actor and the amae | teur—finish. It is that quality of doing things right at the right time; that ability to transcend the average, {to go beyond the ordinary, to reach | the top, the result of long and dili« training _and practice, that marks the difference between the | professional and the amateur, whether it be on the track, on the base ball field or on the stage. It is not only experience that makes the difference, because it takes something more than experience. Experience added to nat- ural qualifications is what carries one individual far beyond the average. Two men who graduate at Georges | town this year are likely to be missed | from the foot ball squad next Fall & good deal more than might be ex< | pected. They are Parcells and Wil+ | lamson, halfback and center.
