Dudley is a mere schoolboy in his
teens who, however, shows much
promise and will be kept around at
least for time to absorb pointers be-
fore being placed somewhere for de-
Velopment. Reil arrived only last
night and will be given his first in
spection today. Donaldson took his
initial workout with the club yes
terday. 1t develops he is a right
hand hitter, a fact pleasing to Griff,
VINO has an oversupply of portside
sticksmiths. Evans being the only ex-
ception to the rule among the garden
ers. Donaldson, who has been hit
ting around the 400 mark for Tampa
this season, earned reputation as a
slugger In the Appalachian League
last year. and will be showed into the
lineup IS soon as he gets his bear
ings.
Bushmen Drop n Notch.
The Bushmen slumped back into
seventh place as a result of the 3-to-0
defeat administered to them yester-
day by the Tigers before some 10000
fans, composed largely of visiting
mobiles. 1t was the first shutout suf-
fered by the Nationals on their own
lot this year. and was attributable to
the splendid pitching in the pinches
or Bert Cole, who was making his
initial start of the campaign. Coles
work last season. was far from i'm
pressive. his one victory being Offset
by half dozen reverses, but he had
v.
cling cross-fire delivery and fine con-
troll. He Will prove big help to the
Cobbmen If he can maintain this
stride
Zachary caved in during the fifth
and was relieved by Russell, who
s performed in his usual effective style
over the remainder of the route, but
the cause was a lost one with Cole
pitching shutout ball
Much Orntory on Tap.
Considerable oratory accompanied
registration of the Tigers first run
in round 2: Heilmann had singled
to center when Zachary grabbed Cut
skaw's bunt. His throw to Peckin-
paugh apparently reached second be-
fore Heilmann, but Umpire Holmes
negatived the contention. Bluege
then took Rigney's tap and his heaYe
Tiger at first. but again the jumps
ruled otherwise. The run then ma
terialized when Bassler lofted to
Evans. whose throwing arm still is
on the blink.
Two more runs accrued to the
Tigers in the fifth inning, which
. marked the passing of Zachary. He
Whitfield Bassler at the start, but con-
; Eecutive singles by Cole. Haney and
Blue netted a tally. and when he
. walked Cobb to fill the bases he was
yanked in favor of Russell. Ruel GO
ing in to receive him. Veach was
sent IN TO nit Tor FOtherEfll and
rolled to Judge, Haney scoring on
the play. Judges heave to second
struck Cobb. but Harris recovered
and nailed Blue sliding into the pan
Peck put Russell in a hole at the
start of the sixth by throwing He'll
mann's roller away. AIRY got no
farther than third. however.
Haney was forced by Cobb after
getting a Texas Lacquer in the sew
enth. and a pass to the hird-sacker
In the ninth led to nothing.
Cole Strong I'm PlncheS.
One or more Bushmen reached the
bases in six of the nine rounds and
they repeatedly were within scoring
distance. but invariably were vic
tinized by Cole when there was
something at stake. Bluege'S single
in the second didn't matter, for he
promptly was forced by Evans, but
successive safeties by Rice and Peck
in the third were wasted when Goslin
rolled to Blue. and in the fourth
Charity popped foul after Evans and
Harris got bingles.,
Cobb's circus catch of a liner by
Harris saved Cole some embarra.ss-
ment in the seventh, for Evans had
just received Coles only pass and
Russell followed with a Texas Lacquer
Rice ending the round by lofting to
CutshaW.
