Seven Men Are Certaintie~.
While both Russell and Martina,
especially the latter, seem stronger
now than they were at this stage of
the training grind last year, they may
find there Is no room for them on
the Nationals pitching staff. Walter
Johnson. George Mogridge, Jez Zach
ary, Stanley Coveleskie. Walter
Ruether. Vean Gregg and Fred Mar
berry are to be regarded as certain
ties. Harris wants to sec Mcnamara
in more action before making a de-
cision as to the disposition of the
young lefthander, and If Jim fulfills
the promise of cleverness advanced
in early training he Will be kept.
The manager of the world cham
pions regards Kelley highly, SO high
" that the twenty-year- boy may
be retained throughout the season.
Harris also is of the opinion that
Warren Ogden, who has been handi-
capped by an uncertain arm that was
operated on last Winter. will round
into good pitching form. Both Kelley
and Ogden will be given plenty of
time to prove their worth, and in all
likelihood If in their test they only
hint of future value on the big time
they will be retained. That would
automa tically eliminate Russell and
Martina.
Make Full Use of Bingies.
In their final game with the Bears
yesterday, the Nationals did nothing
wonderful with the fail, but they

Six safeties were amassed by the

Murray, ex-Red Sox slabman, gave up
