Brillheart.
Hankius Is Home Talent.
Hankins is not the only player well
known to base ball enthusiasts here
abouts who will get in action this
afternoon, for the Braves have in
Gus Felix another Florida State
Lacquer who will enlist the vocal
= support of the home talent. He is
an outfelder and is listed to appear
for a portion Of the contest as an
understudy for Ray Powell in the
middle garden
Although it is doubtful whether
Judge Lands will grace the game
with his presence to fulfill the time
honored custom of tossing out the
first ball. the formal dedication of
Tampas spiffy new grandstand will
not lack for appropriate ceremonies.
as Mayor Brown of this hustling
metropolis is prepared to act as un-
derstudy for the august commits
sioner of base ball And there will
be a concert by the Municipal Band
and other tixin's customary at an
opening game
Judged by the advance demand for
tickets, some 5000 spectators should
turn out for the affair, and If this
proves to be the case it will be the
largest crowd that ever witnessed
the Nationals in an exhibition game
here.

The Minneapolis recruit was spank ed
for a quartet of safeties and was in
danger in each of the three rounds
he officated on the rubber. This gave
him an opportunity to show his mettle
and he did that thing by impressive
finCing in each instance. Holiings-
worth had more speed on tap than
has been displayed by any Ringer on
the Washington roster thus far.
With Rice on the midway cushion
in round three. HollingSworth dis
by Gagnon's clever handling of bad
hop. In the fourth. with runners on
third and second, Hollingsworth
huzzed the balls by McGrew so fast
that Slim couldn't see 'em and with
Rice on the keystone sack again in
the fifth Hollingsworth made Harris
loft -vhiffed Joe Judge and took care
of uoslins smart rap himself,
formauce Hollingsworth proved he is
20 slouch as Il hitter by busting one
uf BriilhSart'S offerings to deep CEN
tor for three bases, the longest drive
Of the day. The youngSter looks
good.
Zachary in Good Trim
Zachary moseyed his way through
two frames in nice style. He slipped
Z third strike over on Goslin. who
doesn't mind tanning, but hates to be
fooled into foregoing his cut a the
ball, and yielded only one bingle.
This went to Hargrave. who will get
a lot of them before the exhibition
season gives way to the regular cam
paign.
Schacht displayed better form in the
two rounds he pitched for the Reg
ulars than he ever showed in a spring
camp when he was on the roster of
the Wa shington club, which he is not
this year. Not a man reached first on
Albertus. who flashed plenty of smoke
and excellent control.
McGrew was the fall guy for the
only tally Of the encounter A double
off him by Zachary in the third proved
ally a threat but he was nicked in
the succeeding frame when Fisher
walloped a liner over Wade's head in
center for three bases and tailed
when Evans skipped safety over tn e
middle sack. Splendid work afeld
by Goslin saved McGrew from further
damage i'll this session.
McGrew was literally knocked out
of the box in the fifth, when torrid
liner from the bat or PETE Lapdh
landed athwart the forearm of his
pitching wing. The Texan was not
seriously injured. but was glad to
call it a day, for he is not yet strong
physically and his exertions were be-
ginning to tell on him.
Martin Tries Umpiring.
Mike Martin essayed to umpire, a
lob he is very fond of, although few
of the players enthuse when Miguel
handles the indicator He gave a
good exhibition of guessing, but
had to give way to Schacht when
the injury to McGrew necessitated
some professional attention from the
trainer.
Goslin's telding was the bright
spot from Il defensive standpoint. He
chased far in close to the foul line
to snare d Texas Lacquer from
Gagnon in the fourth and later In
the same frame sprinted over and
back to pull a one-handed stab that
robbed Mcnamara of a bingle.
The only other bit of noteworthy
fielding was performed by Gagnon
when he dashed to his left and grab
bed a smoky paste from Goslin's
bludgeon in the third. The ball came
TO him at a low, difficult angle, but
Chick caught it faultlessly and cap
ped it with an off-balance heave that
