JENNINGS SUFFERS |
FRACTURED RIB

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. March
16.-Hughey Jennings, assist
ant manager of the Giants, is
carrying around a fractured rib
in his left side, the first injury
of that character which the
one-time shortstop Of the ia
nous Orioles yet has suffered
in his long connection with
baseball.
Six days ago Jennings was
struck violently in the side with
a pitched ball. He fell and felt
some pain at the time. Last
night the pain became acute
and he had to send for a doctor.
The diagnosis revealed a frac-
ture of a rib.
Jennings would have kept
the news of his injury to him
self if he had not been aues-
toned as to the reason for his
laying off. "Oh, just a little
break in a rib," he said and
laughed it off
"You know, when | was in

sixty-seven times one season,
but never got a fracture. /

again and never even felt any
pain. l had to come here after

Today Foss and Goebel are the
only players newly reporting who
have a chance to stick. Foss is said
to have played some great pail
around third base for the Tampa
Club last season. shining especially
by his ability to go in on slow ones
and winging them across the infleld
in time to get the fastest runners.
He also did pretty well with the Dat
for Tommy Leach's team last sum
mer. In the practice sessions IN
Tampa this spring. however, he has
done nothing to warrant the praises
showered upon him. He may do bet
ter in real games, and it is on this
account that President Griffith has
come over here for the short series
CT three games with the Philiies.
He wants to see Foss under fire.
EAGER TO LEARN.
Much the same Is the case Of
young Goebel The Eastern Lacquer
Is energetic. eager to learn and ap-
parenuy intelligent. He looks good
under ny balls in center field, going
well in all directions, and has a
strong throwing arm. In tearing
loose around the bases he picks up
his heels like a sprinter. But against
the soft pitching at Tampa he has
not shaped up like much of a hitter.
It is possible that he may do better
here against the big league twirlers
that Bill Donovan promises to send
in against him.
The Washington squad arrived
here early this morning. leaving
Tampa at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The sail across the bay to St
.1 -.
ride in the rattler to this seat of the
University of Florida was spent in
sweet slumbers. The boys were up
fright and early this morning, eager
for breakfast.
Hank Shanks and Ed Charity
were the only regulars to accompany
thu rockies here. Charity came
over because Dick Torres has a split
nnger. Val Picinich will probably do
all the catching here, being in cx-
cellent condition. Shanks is booked
for an outfeld berth. Tucker was
left behind at Tampa, there being no
necessity for looking at him under
6re- Tucker seems doomed to re-
main In the bushes.
BOOKED FOR FIRST BASE.
Brewer. though suffering from
lame fingcr, is booked for first base,
Marhafka at second Lamotte at
short and Foss at third. McHugn.
Goebel and Shanks will be in the
garden against the Phillies. 1t is
also, possible that Shanks and
Brewer may change places so that
the home run hitter may get in some
practice as an outfielder.
