of the scholastic year. the faculty

the series would be curtailed just

play but a quartet of games-one
with each school.
A complete revision of the SEIZED.

Prothro has not been impressive
as fielder during the spring ex-
hibition games. He has looked like
a stationary third sacker, one who
might get all hit at him, but one
covering almost no ground at all to
either side. Ossie Bluege is twice
as fast as his successor.
lit is. largely because Prothro
shapes up well with the stick that
he is being retained on third base
until he either makes good or fails
altogether. He does look like dan
gerous hitter. He is not likely to
set any batting records in the big
show. but he can hit hard, espe-
cially when runners are on the
bases
Though a right-handed hitter,
Prothro gets most of his hits to
right field and center. Seldom does
he succeed in getting his bat around
in time to pull a hit into left field.
This is supposed to be a weakness,
but II he can get enough hits to
center and right, nobody will COM
plain much. His drives usually
carry over the infield onsa line, Civ
Ing the runners plenty Of time to

despite the tooth doctors strong

talks loudly OF ProthrO's certain sue
cess, but he is not overlooking
many bets when it comes to filling
his position.
Waivers on "Silly" Simon, one OF
the Brownie candidates, have been
refused and others will be refused
later whenever a player seems
likely to be worth trying. AS soon
as Chick Gagnon's throwing arm
loses it's kinK he win be worked out
at third base. He is much faster
on his feet than Prothro, but is a
natural shortstop. a
1t is evident, from the policy
being pursued by Manager. Harris
that Prothro. has not cinched his
place in the Washington infield.
The very fact that Fisher, an out
fielder without experience in the
infield, is to be worked out there
goes q long way to establish this
fact.
Today the Tampa Smokers Of the
Florida State League are to play a
practice game with the Griffs at
Plant Field. Because he lacks a
suitable number of outfielders,
Harris may not be able to play
Fisher at third base, but there is
chance that he may and it will
be the first time the lad ever held
down the hot corner in a regular
game, if he does get in.
Tomorrow the Griffmen play
their final exhibition game in

big league twirler, was the picture
