Of last year has showed any. sign
Of going back. Peck's leg has

that Roger is right again takes

Have you noticed how solidly he
has been meeting the ball?
Tigers Look Good.
ct have considered the changes
made in other clubs and believe
several of them are stronger, par
ticularly st. Louis and Detroit.
agree with Miller Higgins when he
says that the Tigers are going to
be tougher than they have been in
years. Their batting power is ials-
en- for granted and Cobb'S pitching
staff looks good. How well the
Browns get along will depend much,
of course, on Sisters condition.
But we have increased our
strength in proportion If we have
not outdone the others. AS for the
Yankees-well, our club has tho
feeling that 1t can best any team
with New York on its uniform.
I guess this feeling comes from the
fact that we have done especially
well in games with the Yankees
and Giants. It helped our club
more than you might think to take
five out Of the last six games with
the Giants this spring. 1t showed
our fellows that they still had a

Buclxy Has No Fears.
II honestly believe we have the
strongest club in our league. You
can write that say / mean it, said
Bucky. shaking his head trifle
by way of emphasis, agftating the
stricken neck.
''Ouch," he exclaimed. The fans
OF Washington, who know Harris
value to the team as a player, need
not worry about that neck. After
the umpire-in.chief has beloved
''pIay" today, the neek's owner very
likely viii overlook its presence.
Harris, in his early days with the
Washington club, played for three
weeks with a broken finger. In
another instance he kept going with
sciatic affliction that must have
caused him agony. Mike Martin.

the opinion that baseball has had
few players as game as Stanley
Harris, and Martin, as a trainer
of long experience. Is by way or

Jenkins Has Fine Record.
Homer Jenkins. the crack college
developed at Georgetown !
University by John d. O'Reilly, may |
be Of real use to the Gr1ffInen, al |
though it IL suspected that Clark |
Griffith signed him with the in |
tention Of farming him for season |
ing. Jenkins, now only twenty-five, |
showed great promise three years |
ago when he blossomed out as a |
star on the Hilltop.
He pitched thirteen games for |
Georgetown in 1922 and won all. |
The Hilltoppers were indicated |
that season. Few of the teams that |
Jenkins faced scored against him. |
He pitched practically every game
for Georgetown in 1928 and lost |
only one, that to Jack Barry's star |
Holy Cross team by close score. |
He repeated his previous sue |
cesses by winning all Of his games |
last year, excepting that with Bos- |
ton College, which won 8 to 2. In |
three years Jenkins won about |
forty games and lost two. Such a |
record, even in college baseball, |
respect. The newest |
Griff recruit is clean cut chap |
with a pleasing balance Of conf |
dence and modeSty. |
