ASHINGTON'S ball club is not to have any pitching problem as had been feared if the performances of its slabmen in the early tussling is a true indication of the worth of its curving corps. Manager Harris not only has sent to the hill a pair of pitchers who, with a little more conditioning, should be able to finish what they start, but also has produced a sparkling pair of relief workers. And the pilot is confident he has in Bob Burke, the string bean south- paw who was to make his champion- ship season debut against the Red Sox in a series opener this afternoon, and Monte Weaver, fast-balling right-hander due to face the Boston band tomorrow, another pair of ca- pable starters. g Although he had to be lifted from the fray in the eighth inning, Earl Whitehill in the campaign inaugural last Weqnesday revealed that he is not far away from peak form. As the Athletics were beaten again yes- terday, 6 to 5, Bump Hadley, in a seven-inning term, showed that this eon PEITi..

FULLERTON, JR, Ascociated Press Sports Writer. INCINNATI'S REDS, to whom the experts almost unani- mously awarded the cellar berth in the National League this season, were only a step from first place today. The hustling aggregation of young- sters assembled by Chuck Dressen and Larry MacPhail, and the veterans who are fighting hard to hold their jobs, yesterday blasted out their second vic- tory in three starts against Pittsburgh, 9 to 4. The other previous winners in the senior circuit, except Boston, lost. The Reds jumped into an early lead when Jim Weaver uncorked a wild pitch with the corners crammed in the second. Then they blasted out eight hits in the fifth and sixth .| rounds for five runs that put the game on ice. Bottomley and Byrd Clout. LTOGETHER, they got 14 hits off five pitchers.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer, [E hop is on the fast one again and everything is all right with that part of the base ball world populated by Robert Moses Grove. “I never felt better in my life, cheer- fully announced the hope of the Bos- ton Red Sox, here to open a three- game series with the Nationals today as he chewed on his pipe, successor to his favorite big black cigars. “The fast one is hopping again,” said the long, lean Lefty of the great Athletic days. “There hasn't been a twinge in my shoulder all Spring. “I'm readv to go any day Joe Cronin says. We're waiting until it warms up a little, just to be sure. But the way things look now, I'll be in there every three days, and if they need a few innings of relief work in between now and then, that will be all right, too.” Attitude Is Tip-off. ORE convincing than any 10,000 M words the big Lefty, only a couple of years ago a pitching invincible, could utter is Grove's calm, carefree attitude, the real tip-off on what is going on in the mind of the old Lonaconing lightning.
