recruit outfielder, last Friday. The
youthful gardener will again get
into uniform tomorrow morning.
Milan. however. didn't let him off
too lightly as he told the youngster
he would have to stand heavy
fne. The amount of the fine was
not announced but il is believed to
be around $500.
Only four of the seven regulars
who were scheduled to report here

ard Shanks showed up. Peck will

up in the North. Turk also Is eN-

apolis and will arrive late tonight
or early tomorrow morning.
PieinIeh ON Way to Camp.
Val Picinich is on his way here
from Miami, Fla, where he has
spent most of the winter. He is
expected to arrive sometime tonight
or early in the morning. Val has
not yet made his peace with Presi-
dent Grifith. but has evidently de-
cided to accept the later's terms.
Grif has gone on record to the ef-
feet that the only timeNh wants
TO see the second string catcher is
when Val has a pen in his hand
and Is all set to put his name to
2 contract at the figures Griff last
named.
The hrst meeting OF the entire
squad was held about 10 o'clock
tonight in the ballroom of the
Tampa Bay Hotel Milan explained

When the players gathered at to-
nights session Milan said that these
meetings will be held every three
days while the team is in training.
He also stated that there would
be a daily meeting in Washington
after the schedule opens and when
ever necessary when the club is on
the road.
Frank Woodward appears to be
enc of Milan's biggest problems just
as he has been one of the prob
lens which all the major league
managers under whom he has
worked were forced to face. Every
one in camp is willing to go on
record to the effect that Woodward
can make good. They make only
single reservation, which is IF
he is in condition.
Right now Woodward hardly ap-
pears any nearer condition than he
was when Re first reached here.
He is still about ten pounds over
weight and hasn't yet thrown
fast ball. Milan mas taxed him
v ith his Ianness two or three times
but nothing seems to faze the for
mer New Haven hurler. He tells
everyone who asks that he will be
in shape when the times comes and
Il at he isn't worrying. He is enough
o: a veteran so that Milan so far
has allotted him to take his own
time but its probable that unless
he shows signs of form within two
oT three days Milan will have some
thing further to say about the
matter
The old-timers here think that
woodie may surprise the doubters
End come in" ever night. By that
they mean that he is getting in
shape so slowly that il cannot be
noticed and that when re does hit
his stride he will hit it quickly. al
