RECRUIT. PITCHERS
 ARE HOPE OF.NATS.
Washington Veterans Enthuse
 Over Rockies Work

Tampa, Fla, April S.-Here in the Washington camp the talk Is of pitch CTS, as it is in every camp you hit.
 It is the talk of great young pitch CTS and you hear it from the mouths of great old pitchers
 Jack Chesbro, Clark Griffith, Nick Altrock and Walter Johnson: these are the veteran gladiators who sit with you on the practice field and point to this pitcher and grow warm with prophetic praise.
 Chesbro, one of the greatest spit ball pitchers of all time, now a Wash ington coach, mods his silver head in the direction of a well built right handler warming upswith Ruel. That's Fred Marberry, who came up from Little Rock last year." he tells you. That boy will be one of our big winners this year; he has plenty of Steam, nice curve and is as nervy as a Ford driver"
 Marberry Real Prospect
 You watch Marberry and recall that he pitched a notable game against tho 9anks last year. shutting them out with three or four hits, flaming the Babe twice.
 Griffith, the old fox of a bygone day. enthuses as his gaze rests on Dangerous Dan McGrew, a towering bean pole, who is up for his third trial with the Senators. McGrew has a sinuous windup and when he uncoils, the ball seems to come from nowhere and is on the batter before he realizes it.
 "An McGrew needs" comments Griffith, " is a. bit more physical CO., ordination, a closer union between his body power and his arm movement. He will master that shortly and then he will be 8. mighty valuable man."
 Altrock, the buffoon of today but the master left-handcr of 1906, invites your critical attention to a right handler from Omaha, by name Bryan Speece. Altrock likes his amazing control. An underhand pitcher of the Mays type, Spceec is deadly accurate. and appears able to put the ball wherever he wants it.
 Mays didn't look any better tho first time I saw him work" Nick de- clares.
 Cost Griffmen s25,OOO
 Speece won 26 and lost 14 in the Western league last season and cost the Washington club se5,o0o.
 Johnson, the fro ball king. now on the threshold of his 18th season, and perhaps his last, insists he never saw so many good looking pitching pros- poets on the club at one time. He has llattering things to say of Wingheld, n curve ball pitcher from Memphis, and Joyce, a fast ball pitcher from New Haven.
 "Grif ought to get whole staff out of this bunch." he observes.
 And he'll need a whole staff if you quit" is your conclusion.

PETE, YALE STAR, BOWS
 AT ARM0RY SATURDAY
Will Be in '. NJ. H. A. Lineup in Final Game to Be Staged
 Here This Season

Although they appear here satur- day night under the name of the Y. NJ. H. A. of Hartford, the team that faces New Britain in this final game of the season will be virtually the much touted Atlas A. C. of New Ha- ven for every man on the outfit. ex- cept Cohen, forward, is an Atlas player.
 First of all there is the famous Sammy Pite, brilliant Yale forward and intercollegiate leader in scoring this season. Incidentally Sammy is the boy who took a good dressing down from Coach Joe Fogarty of the Yale quintet for not following his in- structions. But all comment aside, Pite is one sweet basketball player and is regarded as the peer of any in the intercollegiate world today.
 Botwinik, Suisman and Witkin will complete the Hebs' lineup. The All-New Britain team has played the Y. M. II. A. twice this season and each has gone a game, so Saturdays battle will be the deciding one in the series.

KELLY MAY LOSE IN
 CONTEST FOR FIRST
Terry May Be McGaW's Choice
 for Initial Sack i.

New York. April s.-The possibility that Bill Terry, whose sensational play has been one of the few en- couraging spots so far this spring on the surface of Giant hopes, may re- place the veteran, George Kelly at first base looms in reports from the camp of the National league cham pions.
 Terry who came from Toledo, is characterized by Manager John Me- Graw, as "the sweetest-looking bat ter I ever saw step mp to the plate" and, coupled with reports that Kelly is off form, observers see prospects of another switch in the clubs inner de- fepse.
 AIcGraw frankly admits that his team has not shown up well so far in the south. Hugh McQuillan. he says, is the only pitcher in first class condition, while Frank Ersch and Ross Young also are hitting far below their usual form.
 'our showing this year depends chiefly on the pitchers" he says, 'McQuillan is the best now. but Jack Bentley. the big southpaw, has re- ported weighing 21 pounds less than he did year ago and should do great. Ryan has had a sore arm and Nehf is starting slowly. But I have high hopes for several youngsters. Maun. the Wichita, Kan, boy, looks very good and so does Howard Baldwin, who came from Newark"

BEAR CREEK SHOPS BURN;
 BIG LOSS TO YUKON CAMP

A disastrous fire recently wreck ed the machine shops of Burrall and Baird, Ltd., located at Bear Creek in the Dawson district, says the Daw- son News. Fire started by creosote in the smokestack, and was discover ed by George Brown, night watchman and Arthur Hand, master mechanic. They immediately gave the alarm and the Bear Creek fire fighting apparat- us soon was on the scene, manned by every man in the camp.
 The flames spread rapidly from the boiler room, through the mammoth structure ,and destroyed all that DOT tion of the building containing the machine and forging shops. The rear portion of the building containing the acetyline and electric welding plants, and the gas house, were saved, as was the bunk house adjoining the shops.
 The only articles saved from hte machine shop were a lathe and a shaping machine and the loose tools. The heavy lathe and shaping mach inc were dragged to place of safety by horses before the flames had con- sumed that portion of the building in which they were housed. The huge lifting crane may not be damaged be- yond repair.
