This sixth-session furry was start
ed by the Nationals young manager,
who looped the ball into short left
field and sped to second while Cum
ningham and Cooney, Boston gar
deners, were trying to decide who
would retrieve the sphere. Sam Rice
pushed Harris home with a single to
center and after Goose Goslin backed
Casey Stengel, last world series hero,
to the right field barrier for a start
ling catch, George Fisher, recruit
outfielder, drew a pass.
Fisher, though. was forced out by
Doc Prothro, another new National,
but Roger Peckinpaugh, returned TO
the lineup after d week OF idleness.
singled to left, counting Rice. Pro-
thro also scored, and Peck rushed to
third when Cunningham made a wild
heave after recovering the ball, and
Peck got home when Ruei bumped a
one-baser into right.
That healthy frame was much need
ed by the Nationals, for their first
two pichers had failed to battle the
Braves. Johnson never seemed to be
quite himself during the first three
innings. He allowed four swats,
three of them going TO the first trio
of batters in the second session and
netting run. McInnis with a double
and Stengel and Padgett with singles
did the damage.
Mogridge, who twirled through the
three rounds following Johnson's de-
parture, was mark for the, Bos-
tonians in his first turn. With two
gone. they fell upon the southpaw
for four wallops in a row, one a
slashing double by Padgett, and three
tallies- Mogridge, though, had every
thing his way the remainder of his
stay on the hill.
After going ahead, the Nationals
sent Joe Martina, veteran of the
Southern Association, to the slab, and
he provided one of the thrills of the
contest after filling the bases in the
ninth. With one out, Padgett got
, the only hit off Martina Then came
an error by Harris that gave O'Neil
L life Barnes famed, but Bancroft
got pass. Sperber, a formidable
batter. had a count of three and two
when, with all the runners moving
oward the plate, Martina sneaked a
third strike across.
The Nationals were outhit, eleven
safetieS to nine, mainly through their
inability to solve the delivery of Joe
'Ienewich, the Braves starting hurI-
er. Two blows in three innings were
all he gave up. But Vanguard was
easier, a pass to Fisher and Prothro' S
double accounting for. a marker be-
fore the Nationals raked the south
pay in the big sixth. Harris men
faced Jess Barnes in the seventh and
eighth rounds, and in the former sim
giles by Judge and Harris and Rice's
sacrifice added a score.

in fine fettle now, although last week
il was feared he had received seri-
Gus injury to his pitching arm. Mar
tina has been troubled to some extent
by a lame back, but after yesterdays
workout against the Braves he declared
the soreness had departed. With TINS
pair in shape, the Nationals are well
fortified for relief measures.
The most impressive feature OF the
pitchers in the contests with the Ma
tionaI League clubs has been their
ability to come back" after poor
inning something none of the stan
seemed able to do last season. Mog-
ridge gave a good demonstration or
this yesterday and several or the otn-
ers did so in the engagements In the
Florida training fields. In sharp con-
trast to the pitching of last year, the
present noundsmen have exhlblted
fair control True, none of the corps
has gone a full route yet, but all
that Manager Harris probably has
| little to fear in this respect.

! Douhle-F1ay Team in Form.
The keystone combination that Gre
| ated double play records in two sue
cessive years has about rounded into
form, and from what it has shown in
the major exhibition contests soon
&, should have that two-play killing
] system working in fine order. Stan
/ ley Harris is in fine fettle, as usual,
and Roger Peckinpaugh, though at
| times threatened with trouble by a
lame back, still is able to make many
other shortstops appear as second
1 raters in the field. These two, how
| ever, have not been impressive in
| attack, Harris so far having batted
| only at a.23s clip and Peck at 200.
| These three men probably are equal
] to the task of keeping up an infeld
| defense even with a weak link in the
| combination, that at third base. Doc
Prothro certainly is not yet in good
! physical trim, although /. striving
earnestly to make himself so. Prothro
never has been regarded as high
1 class fielder, according to big league
4 standards, but in the southern Assoc
lciation established a great. reputa-
ticn as a hitter. s As a National.
| though, his batting stride i'm the ex-
I hibitions with the majors has been
4 $50, nothing much with which to boil
| ster an iniield quartet attack that
without Judge willnot go far.
But this batting weakness of the
iinfieId regulars ought to- be SO coun-
1 ter balanced by the hitting of the
loutfield trio as to give the Nationals
an attack equal to that of 1928. Goose
4 Goslin, even though not yet in good

the ball at a .345 gait, while San

destined to get the right field berth,
is hitting only .27S, but his avera ges

past two years indicate he may i'm
prove soon.
Fisher Learning Rapidly.
Harris has about decided upon
making these men fixtures in his out
field. Fisher is learning rapidly the
mechanics of taking care of an outer
garden, while Rice is becoming more
at home in center with every game,
Goslin has been sluggish but a few
days more Of training ought to bring g
him arount. This combination gives
the Nationals something they did not
have last year, a pair of good arms
wing is well known to fans here, but
Fisher probably can get more on the
ball than Goose.
While reserve talent still is scarce.
that at hand is of high quality.
Chick Gagnon revealed great worth
as an infielder and hitter when Peck s
indisposition afforded an opportunity
to break into the lineup last week.
Mule Shirley, although fresh from
college ranks, gives promise OF be-
base and a. dangerous man at bat
Carr Smith and Lance Richbourg are
bright outfield prospects who can
cover ground with speed and are
formidable at the plate. And then
there is the old, reliable Memo Lei
bold. He lacks sturdy throwing
arm and has not so much punch at
bat, but is a brilliant fielder and a
difficult man to keep off the paths
The Nationals probably are much
better off behind the bat than last
year. Muddy Ruel is beginning to
bang the ball in the manner that
made him such a power in attack in
1923-and, though few who followed
the fortunes of the Nationals last
year may realize it, Muddy failed only
, once in the past season to hit after
stepping to the plate when runners
were on the paths. Ruel probably
will catch most of the games this
year, but he will have an able assist.

First Division for Grinmen.
Although there is something to be
desired in two positions, the 1924
edition of the G-;Gnien is far more
formidable combination than that of
last year. Granting that most of
their rivals also are stronger, the
extent of the Improvement effected
in the Nationals should enable them
TO hold the position they attained in
the season that ended in October and
possibly advance them a notch.
The most notable betterment
achieved is in pitching. This is the
most important department Of a
team, especially at the beginning OF
a campaign. With half dozen really
capable fingers available the Ma
tionals should get away to flying
start, in striking contrast to the mis-
cradle showing they made at the out
set last spring, when they had only
one reliable hurler on the roster.
How adequately third base and
right field will be cared for is a mat
ter Of speculation, but these positions
are sure to be as well filled as they
were last season, with every prospect
that greater strength will be shown
and in the matter of morale there
will be no comparison between the
Nationals of this year and last. Next
to the bo1stering of the box corps, the
spirit of hustle Stan Harris has in
stilled into his charges is the most
valuable asset the team has. The Ma
tionals impress US as first division
ball club, and il they fail to prove

There is reason to believe that the
Nationals will have pitching far superior
to any they have had in several sea-
sons past. OF prime importance to the
Johnson, dean Of major league huriers
and long looked upon as the best bet of
the local club. 1t seems that in past
years the Nationals pitching effective
ness was particularly dependent upon
this noundsman's status, so much did
it affect the morale of the remainder
Of the corps.

his stamina last year is SO strong again
that johnson does not hesitate to put

seem against him johnson probably is

Walter will Have Help.
The ability of this sterling moundznan
o withstand the strain that might be
expected to wear down huriers much
younger in years means much in itself
to the Nationals, but there is every pros
pect that the veteran will not be called
upon to bear the brunt Of the battle as
often as has been the case George
Mogridge, another veteran and probably
the most crafty southpaw in the Ameri-
can League, appears to be in superb
condition, perhaps better than last year
when he was the Nationals most eff
fective pitcher on the earned-runs-
allowed basis
Supporting these two old-timers
are Paul zahniser and Byron Specie
the pair Manager Harris expects to
use with the veterans as the main
staff of the club. Zahniser gave
splendid evidence of his worth after
joining the Nat; onals early last sea
son and this spring has demonstrated
that none of his cunning has been
lost. Specie is touted by some OF the
more enthusiastic coaches of the club
as a second Carl Mays-the baffiing
Mays OF former years. He may not
be this, but his record with Omaha
last year was most impressive and
against the National Leaguers In
training he gave some remarkable
exhibitions Of pitching prowess.
