STAN, Btaft Correspondent ot The Star. INTER GARDEN, Fla, 7 March 25—For the first time since he graduated from Chattanooga to be- come the Natiox problem child, Cecil Travis definitely seems to have shaken off, his title of jack of all trades, master of none. If he doesn't make the grade as a shortstop thi year, a lot of shrewd base ball people insist they'll try a hand at some busi- ness they can fathom. This comes in the wake of Wash- ington’s latest ‘“grapefruit lea conquest, a 5-to-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals for the Griffs’ fifth straight triump. At Daytona Beach yesterday, Travis gave as nearly perfect an exhibition of shortstopping as possible. He was all over field, pulling his pitchers out of trouble, cutting dowrnr base hits. At the end he gained the commendation not only of Manager Bucky Harris, but also of Frankie Frisch, pilot of the twice-humbled Cards. Frisch draws a face today when Travis' name is mentioned. Frankie's Gas House Gang hasn't been winning lately, but the Cards might well have broken the losing streak yesterday had it not been for Travis. He more than represented the difference be- tween the clubs in that 5-3 affair. Getting “Break” on Ball. RAVIS' performance so far this Spring hardly can draw anything commendation. In short his p has embraced the following {tems; (1) errorless ball for six games, (2) batting out nine hits in 24 times T except, NEW-FOUND SKILL the | { at bat for a . average, (3) driving across seven runs. (4) scoring half a | dozen runs himself and (5) finally mastering the art of “breaking” with & batted ball. | Of all the points, the latter is most encouraging. Cecil always has been able to hit. He can thank this ability for the numerous chances he was given to play third base, left field, second base, right field and, finally shortstop. At all posts it was his inability to break with the ball that caused his disappointing play. Down here this Spring Travis has broken consistently. Nobody can ex- | plain exactly how he managed to pick up the knack after three full seasons as a regular, but the fact remains that he does it now and that is important. Travis himself thinks it's because he’s lighter than he was last year, when he tried short- | stopping for the first time. Harris | seems to think the kid has loosened | up. It is likely that both are partiy | right. Also Leads Batting Attack. HE TOOK care of eight chances in the field yesterday against the | Cards and was directly responsible for converting at least two seemingly sure hits into putouts. In the sixth in- ning he pulled one off Medwick that was a classic. The big outfielder | belted one almost directly back at Jimmy De Shong. It looked to be a sure base hit, but Travis, like a bounding kangaroo, stuck out his gloved hand almost on second base, came up with it and whirled like a dervish to toss a “strike” to first base and nip the fleet-footed Gas Houser. Mr. Medwick had a deal of difficulty believing he was out, but Ducky had nothing on the Nats. They have been experiencing difficulty believing any of Travis’ play all Spring. He's more than fulfilling the fondest hopes. As in the 7-to-2 victory over the Tigers at Lakeland, where he drove across three runs, Travis also led tI batting attack by getting three the Griffs’ eight hits. His double in the first inning scored one of the runs that gave Washington a 2-0 lead In the sixth he singled but was left | stranded, and in the eighth he singled, moved up on an error, and scored when De Shong pumped a double to center. I"OR all of this, Travis wasn't the only standout from a local stand- point. Joe Cascarella, the crooning curver, shared the spotlight with another impressive stretch of pitch- ing. Signor Cascarella held the Cards to three scattered hits in the | first five innings and pitched to only 18 hitters. 2 When Joe retired in the sixth in favor of De Shong he willed that 2-0 | lead, which he gained off Mike Ryba, to his successor. Jimmy did a great job of not spending any of it unnly after the Griffs had hopped on Lonnie | Warneke for two more runs in the seventh inning and another in the eighth, making it 5-0. | The fnal frame was a headache | to Jimmy, for it was in this inning the Cards did their scoring and almost succeeded in making off with the game. De Shong got into trouble by walking Stuart Martin to open it and Pepper Martin furthered his anxiety by doubling his fellow-Martin to third base. .Up strode Medwick to wallop & terrific home run far over the trees which bordered the park in left field. Ducky’s was a poke of well over 400 feet and when it finally landed (in the Halifax River, incidentally), the score was 5-3 and things were grave. De Shong got Mize on a grounder, but Terry Moore started the ball roll- ing again with a single, and Leo Durocher doubled him to third. With one down, it looked as if the Cards were going to pull the game out of the fire, but Mickey Owen rapped to De Shong, causing Moofre to be run down. And Pinch-Hitter Jimmy Brown rolled to Mihalic to end it all. Card Rally Falls Short. STAGE BASKET FINAL.

EBRING, Fla., March 25— Brooklyn’s Dodgers have a track coach, but Manager Chuck Dressen said today he was considering & boxing mentor for the Cincinnati Reds as an “aid” to their base-running. He added that Mike Gibbons, former claimant to the world middleweight title, may be the man. Orders to last year's fifth- placers to “hit the dirt and go in with spikes flashing” have brought squawks from every team the Reds have met thus far, Dressen said, adding: “It looks as though we're in for a lot of trouble all along the line this season and that's all right with me. “I want my boys to run hard and fight to the last ditch. Probably we'll have plenty of battles and I can think of no better guy in thb Scrappy Dressen Feels Players Could Use Self-Defense Instructions. world than Mike Gibbons to teach them the art of self defense.” General Manager Warren C. Giles indicated favor of Dressen's style of play, declaring “we're ask- ing for no quarter on the base paths and we'll give none.” The Brooklyn club recently hired a track coach to instruct Dodgers in quick get-aways. No comment immediately was forthcoming relative to action of Chick Hafey, veteran outfielder, in rejecting the club’s latest offer, al- though it was understood no fur- ther overtures would be made to- ward inducing ‘the be-spectacled slugger to join the team. At his Walnut Creek, Calif, ranch home, Hafey laughingly re- ferred to Lou Gehrig and Dizzy Dean as “pikers in this holdout business.” Hafey quit the Reds in May, 1935, because of & sinus B * | Scharein, Young Proving Strong IN SPITE OF PLENT’)’g OF "BEEF on TAFT Is ON SQUADS NIMBLER poys | EARLY (N THE TRAINING SEASON WRIGHT DREW FIRST "PRESS BLOOD' WHEN HE FOULED ONE To BUCK ONEILLS KISSER ¢ ., EVENLY MATCHED Event Brings Together WICHYI‘A.

EW ORLEANS, March 25 (#).— Even the slickest crystal ball gazer would toss up his hands and retire when he came to forecasting the Cleveland Indians of 1937. The team, led by the sensational Bob Feller, can win the American League pennant or it can fall right back into the wilderness of the second division without causing the flutter of an eyebrow. It's the mysterious club in big-time base ball. Probably 90 per cent of the team's chances depends on Kid Feller and the veteran catcher, Frank Pytlak, If Feller can come through as ad- vertised and Pytlak can catch 100 games without repairs, the Indians may stage an uprising that'll scalp every enemy club in the circuit. So far, Feller looks greater than great. The 18-year-old schoolboy pitcher from Iowa has developed a fine change of pace down here to go with his fast ball and sweeping curve. Pytlak Lacks Durability. YTLAK has been a problem for years. A great catcher and a dangerous hitter, his problem has been ruggedness. In four years with Cleve- land he has failed to catch more than 91 games, retiring in 1936 after but 75. Pytlak reported in fine physi- cal and mental shape this Spring, but he's still a problem. If he couldn't catch 100 games before, Manager Steve O'Neill hardly can expect that many from him this year when he's a vet of 28. On paper the Indians appear greatly improved over last season, when they Although Joe Vosmik's punch will be missed, Manager O'Neill believes the big swap with the St. Louis Browns | gave the team better balance and lifted its spirit. Pitching again will be the strongest point of the Tribe's pennant argu- ment. O'Neill can and may carry 10 pitchers, with Mel Harder, Johnny Allen, Dennis Galemouse, Earl White- hill and Feller composing a starting big five,” all right-handers except for Whitehill. The three reserves, un- doubtedly, will be Ivy Andrews, ob- tained from the Browns; Lloyd Brown and Willis Hudlin. Infield Shift Helps. JHITLOW WYATT, who won an- other big league trial at Kansas City, with 12 victories, and Tommy Drake. a strong right-hander up from New Orleans, seem to have clinched the other two pitching jobs The coming of Lyn Lary from - St. Louis has forced O'Niell to switch his infield with fine results. Lary has been stationed at shortstop in place of Bill Knickerbocker, who went to the Browns. “Bad News” Sammy Hale has been shifted from third to transferred from second to third. The shift has given the Indians their snappiest-looking infleld in many a moon. There should be plenty of class and punch in the Indian outfield. Earl Averill, a 378 hitter last season, will be in center field; Julius Solters, the former Brownie, whose three-year major league batting average stands at .304, will patrol left, and either Bruce Campbell or Weatherly will hold down right field. Weatherly hit .335 last season and starred on defense, but Campbell is giving him a great battle for a regu- | la:’s job. Refusing to go down and out after two serious attacks of spinal meningitis, Campbell, who was hitting 372 when he collapsed last season, is back in camp and belting the cover off the ball. Weatherly will have his hands full beating Bruce out of a job. Going Strong ‘WASHINGTON. ‘hapm cf. x Lewis, Kuhel “1b . DeShong. p. - - Totals I i e ST LOUIS Gutteridge. b, Frisch. 2b £ S.

Swashbuckling | they are. Loaded with affected ego | and braggadocio, the Cards, in short, are cards. Pepper Martin is the acknowledged ringleader. It was he who first intro- duced the wearing of white buckskin Boots with high heels, a huge som- brero and the art of indelicately spew- | ing dark brown tobacco iuice at vari- | ous and sundry targets.

UT even with these models to ape, it comes as something of a sur- | prise to note the ability of the rookie Cardinals to become Gas Housers in ! appearance.

That's Gas House Gang atmosphere, t00. Page the Notre Dames. JETERANS like Buddy Myer and Bucky Harris and Ossie Bluege shudder visibly when they watch the Cards work out. There must be 40 of them stationed at Daytona and half a dozen “‘pepper games” spring up. In these three or four boys take gloves and stand some 15 yards away from a batter, who is supposed to bunt grounders. Only the Cards don’t bunt They stand up and slash. | Bang!

If he were one of Clark Griffith’s players the old gentleman would have needed smelling salts. But the other Cards don't bat an eve. If the guy walks away holding his wrist in pain somebody else jumps in his place and the “pepper game” goes on. That injury might spell the end of the pennant hopes but the attitude seems to be, “What the hell? Thursday, Friday If anything, the Cards are more positive stvlists than ever they overdo it, but that isn't an im Perhaps portant fault. When a sports writer If he can't take it he ain't no Gas Houser."
