With weather Il trifle milder today
than yesterday, CoveleSkie ought to
give good account of himself, Man
ager Harris believes. The husky
rlght-hander who set the pace for
other hurlers of the American League
last season came out of the Florida
conditioning campaign in fine fettle
and in his last workout on Saturday
held the Giants hitless during the four
frames he pitched.
Bush has been striving diligently to
prepare himself for the serious bust
ness at hand. The veteran procured
from the Browns in a late Winter
trade lacked control during his train
ing season games in the South, but
recently seems to have overcome that
fault. Ruether apparently is in as
good form now as he was at any
time last year when he did much to
bring second successive pennanr to
Washington.
Buddy Myer, yOungster. purchased

the Nationals toward the fag end of

then he did not care to expose the

of the position.
There was plenty of brilliant field
ing in the inaugural and not the
least conspicuous figure on defense
was Joe Harris. former aged utility
player and now regular right garden
er of the American League champs.
When Joe was given the outfield
berth during the training season, it
was because of a desire to strengthen
the club Extensively more than any
thing else, for the veteran was re-
garded as only an average fly chaser.
