BETEPTIISTOTITECTET PYOPET Speaking of Sports PCTTTOVICTTVIOUTY There were a number of comical | side lights.at the New Britain Bris- tol basketball game last night. In preparation for a victory, two of the famous New Departure repeating hells had been set on a window sill in the state armory.

A fight ensued with the girls in the crowd using pins where they could do the most zood and u Bristol cop aided the New Britain erowd by ordering the snistollites away. Consequently, the bells did great | gervice for New Britain last night | nd Captain Ralph Recano of the | raiders plans to send in a request | to the New D arture Co. for two more bells to be used when Bristol comes here to play on March 30. Dougherty might well be us a gentleman on and off | the floor. Whenever he gets a bas- ket in a* game, it is not tor him to take the plaudits of the crowd alone. He always circles around to the man “Doc" elassificd who gave him the pass and pats him | for the | on the back, thanking him opportunity to shoot, His play lives up to everything that “Chick” Murray said about him He 1s calm and cool on the fioor, lightntng like in his speed, an accurate shooter and a passer aniong the Liest.

WITH WASHINGTON Has Hard Tsk i Plotiog Sens | tors During the Season Tampa Fla. March 7 (1)—Walter {Johnson, who spent 21 years in the| {ranks of the Washington bascball ! [club, has returned to assume the post | |of commander-in-chief, facing an |unusual handicap. The big fellow lis held in such affection by his fel- | lows it is possible they will be too {enthusiastic in trying to win for {him. It may be the greatest dunger | |facing the Senators in the coming| |campaign is pressing—a golf term |for trying too hard. | The great ncutral vote of baseball | | ha ; cast*solidly for Connie Mack for | years, but the tall tactician may have to share it this season with the | for among the fans at large Walter Johnson remains one of the great idols of the game. The feeling extends to the Washington players and every one of the 30 athletes in the training camp wants | to go out right now and die in ball way for *'good old Barne; | Manager Johnson himself is pay- |ing strict attention to his pitchers. | As one of the great mound stars of all time he is qualified to pass on pitching performances and certainly some of the younger school will be better for having passed under the tutelage of the Old Master. Of the even dozen pitchers on hand over half of the numiber arc regarded as sure to Mick with the other two or three places very much in doubl. Sad Sam Jones, Garland Braxton, Irving Hadley, Fred Mar. berry, Lloyd Brown, Adolph Liska and Paul McCullough promise to start. A merry battle may be fought out among the rest. Bob Burke, a tall but very thin left hander, who was on the club last year, needs more weight and Jim Weaver, six and one half inches over six feet and scaling 230 pounds has too much. If the giant Weaver absorbs instructions sufficiently to get the most from his pitching arm he should uncover ® “high, hard one,” that will be diffi- cult to bunt, apparently needs schooling in field- ing. He is 8o big he has difficulty in coordinating his hands and feet Mike Martin, the liniment king of the Washington training quarters, hoasts that Weaver can unscrew the lizhts on the roof of a railway war while standing flat footed but in his brief haseball experience his success with bunts has not be n so striking Liska, whose underhand delivery will remind veteran American league o, Jack Warhop of the old New York Highlanders, is said to have a priceless pitching asset in control. Buddy Myer, obtained at great price in playing talent fron: the Bos- | ton Red Sox, will play third base, Ossie Bluege moving to the left of the infield to make room for him. Bluege probably will take care of shortstop with Joe Cronin, & promis- ing young'shortstop acting as under- Stuffy Stewart and Minter ayes will play second base between them. Stewart secems to become fast- | |er as he grows older and he has| practically made good on this third | trial although he may not play | regularly. On the Floridian’s previ- ous visit to the Washington camp | he has found the manager, Bucky | Harris playing his position. Joe Judge has no opposition at first base but a substitute has not | yet been elected. The chances of Harley Boss, a Little Rock recruit, were hurt when he suffered injurie to his hands in an automobile ac ident. Charlie Gooch, former Lit- | tle Rock third baseman, detecting | evidences of crowding around third. announced himself as a former first | baseman and is attempting to quali- | fy as far away as he can get from his regular position and still remain on the infield. | Muddy Ruel, the uenator's atar catcher, is going throu,h a systema- |tic course of training for his arm and is doing little actual catching in | advance of the opening of the sea- | son. Benny Tate, long the second | string Washington receiver, is again | available and 1d Kenna and Al Bool are willing to accept the other | nomination. While Manager Johnson concen- trates on the pitchers, four coa keep the rest of the recruits mov- | ing. Zeb Milan and Patsy Gharri- | ty make them cry and Nick Al-| trock and Al Schacht, the comedians, force laughs from them.
