JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March T.
When Squire Ebbets took a leaf from
Judge Lands book and suspended
sentence on Burleigh Grimes anC
Jimmy Johnston until yesterday. he
made a big impression on everybody
except those two holdouts. Up to the
present writing, neither has shown
up in camp. nor has there been any
word from them.
The Dodger chief says midnight
last night was the time limit. What
action he intends to take he won't
say. However, he has the last word.

He reported late, did not start until

JUDGE lands
To OPEN BALL
FOR GR|FFMEN
Accepts Invitation to Start
Spring Series With Braves
at Tampa, Fla.
By GILBERT FREEMAN.

TAMPA, Fla. March Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Lands will
pitch the first ball here in the
opening game Of the spring exhi-
bition series between the Washing.
ton Griffmen and the Boston
Braves on March Is. President
Griffith has received a letter from
Judge Lands accepting an invita-
ton rendered some time ago.
"ThatIl be opening the season in
real STYLE" smiled Griffith today.
And well show the Judge a real
ball team. besides"
slim" McGrew, who ranges up
around the six-feet-seven mark, is
beginning to show the speed that
attracted major league scouts to
him last summer. He opened up a
bit yesterday and fooled Sam Rice
with q sort of half underhand and
halfside arm delivery that fairly
burned the air.
Manager Milan watched McGrew
closely and admitted after the tail
Texan had finished his workout
that he looked like the goods"
McGrew Is awkward. but he is fast
learning to do things better, and It
would not be surprising to have him
earn a regular job in the big show
as a result Of his speedy develop
ment.
Today or tomorrow the pitchers
will be permitted to show some
curve balls. Harry Courtney has
been ready to uncover his for a
full week, but has been kept back
lest he get a setback in his train
ing. Brillheart, the wee southpaw,
and Ray Francis, the Coast south
paw. are both ready to try their
curves.
The first infield practice was
staged yesterday. It found Milan
and Torres at first base, Harris at
second. Bluege at short and LaMotte
at third. Bluege showed a fine
pair Of hands and a lot of speed
In going in either direction.
George Mogridge has signed his
contract without making any fuss.
He is working out slowly and easily.
So Is Walter johnson. Both these
veterans expect to open tho season
In perfect condition for their work
on the rubber.

FIELDER
HAS NEW IDEA
FOR SCORING
MeuseI Would Credit Batter
With Number Of Bases He
Advances Runner.
By MCurk

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. March T.
As an outfielder who contributed
materially to the success OF the
New York Giants last season
Irish" Meusel. in spring training
with his teammates here, says he is
ready to break into the statistician
class. He says batting averages
should be revised. And he says he
Is not in favor Of the new system
simply because he proved leader OF
II in the recent worlds series games
He says his plan will give credit
where credit is due.
Meusel's scheme II TO credit the
batter with the amount OF bases he
advances q man.
II Is well know among baseball
men that some batters are better at
the plate than others when there
are men on the bases. The nervous
tension proves too much for some of
the hitters.
Dope on Sluggers.
Giuggers who can whale the ball
q mile when the sacks are empty
often take that long walk back to
the water bucket when there are two
or three men on the sacks.
Meusel's scheme is II a man Is on
second base and the batter hits n
long single and scores the runner
the hitter should be given credit In
special column for three bases-the
one he made himself and the two
he advanced the runner.
II the sacks were loaded and he
cleaned them with q double he would
get credit for the two bases be made
himself, the three the man covered
who was on first, the two the man
from second passed and the single
base for the player who was on
third. That would give the slugger
a credit Of eight bases.
How About Scorers?
While Meusel's system might
make q hit with ball players II
would not 60 over strong with the
scorers.
ain games IN southern Californis
this winter I have noticed how the
present system of basing averages
fails to tell q players true value,
said Meusel.
"A hit that advances a man IL
more valuable than one without any
one on base. They are not worth II
cents q dozen, but imagine how the
fans would clamor for a hit with the
bases loaded. or with only one
man on!"

Anyway, He Could
Have Accepted That
Watermelon

Abe Attel, the former feath-
erweight champion, holds all
records for receiving a liberal
purse. In his young days Abe
was taken by Manager Kenny
to box at a country fair in the
Northwest. Abe met all corners
and when the day was over he
figured he had gone 1853 rounds.
AS he toppled on his cot to get
a needed rest the manager
busted in, let the bull loose and
then handed Abe a piece Of
watermelon as his bit.
