Practice In q Drisxle.
Although it was considerably de-
layed in starting. practice was not
prevented by the bad weather pre-
vailing this morning. Disregarding
the rain that started while the boys
were at breakfast, Trainer Maftip
ordered all hands to the clubhouse
and at the first sign of let-up
hustled them into the open. Each of
the pitchers INDUCED in the usual
warm-up and the fielding of bunts
followed. as is customary, topped off
with jog around the track. The
only item of the daily routine omitted
ing kept off the diamond proper to
prevent it from being cut up with
their spikes.
Had it been known that the sun
would reappear shortly after midday
the drill could have been postponed
till afternoon. but. as it was. the
performers all benefited from their
workout. notwithstanding that it was
held in a steady drizzle. The trainer
saw TO II that every member of the
squad got up good sweat. for there
is no work scheduled for tomorrow
and two days of idleness i'm row is
not conducive to the advancement of
the players in the present stage Of
their conditioning.

letes of America was awarded to Har-
ward University today at the annual

that official or the referee, or both,
upon judging that the runners got
away to an unfair start. to recall
them by a pistol shot
At the suggestion of the Coaches
Association it was decided to star;

pants long straightaway at the outset.

Lands Peck and GOslin.
Il honestly believe .Pecknpaugh is the
best shortstop in base ball today. Harris
has not more than one superior as a
second sbaseman and altogether there is
not an infield in the circuit that ex-
ceetls ours in ail-round worth. taking
speed. brains. fielding ability and at
tacking power into confederation.
With Milan: Rice, Goslin and such
we have an outfield where steady ex-
perience and the dash of youth are hap
ply combined.
1T is the addition of Peck and Goslin
that will make the team. Peck is a
master fielder who will gobble up
chances that formerly went through for
hits or resulted in errors and ne will!
provide a directing mind as we'll as a
steadying influence for his mates. Gosin

showed Strength Last Year.
You can figure it for yourself. Last
year, without either Peck or GoSlin. the
team staged several spurts that had the
leaders worried, only to drop back. This
season it will have the strength and
steadiness to drill along on an even keel
with no big slumps to Offset the spurts.
and if winning streak should put 1t
out in front it may never be headed.
Mind You. the Nationals of 1921
were able to finish only half a game
back of third place with spotty
outf1eld. a gaping hole at short and
an erratic set of moundsmen. This
season the fielding holes have been
. plugged. the attacking power increaS-
ed and there is every prospect that a
far superior brand of pitching will
obtain. To start with, the strength
added in other positions will render
the pitchers more effective and the
staff will be greatly bolstered.
