|AMPA. Fla. February 25.-Of
all the small army of athletes
striving for box berths with the
4 Nationals this year there were
pre.training season dou b I S
about physical condition Of but three,
and each already has demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the club officials
that no cause for apprehension exists.
This trio was comprised of Hollis
Thurston, obtained from the White
Sox in exchange for Roger Peckin-
paugh: Horace Lisenbee, the acquisi-
tion from Memphis, and Ralph
Stewart, former Birmingham baron.
The fact that Thurston's work show
ed such a decline after the big season
he enjoyed with the ComiskeyiteS in
1924 caused speculation as to whether
he had sprung a charleyhorse or suf-
fered some other kind of injury that
might preclude the possibility of him
ever regaining the effectiveness he dis
played three years ago when he won a
whole score of ball games for the
Pale Hose.
His actions after several days of
drilling here give no hint of any wing
eilment. however and he asserts his
arm feels fine, SO it has been con-
cluded there is nothing seriously awry
with his nlpper.
Stewards Arm Improves.
Stewart, after demonstrating q
high order of effectiveness as mem
Der of Manager Johnny Dobbs' hurl-
ing corps, developed a lame arm to-
ward the close of last season and was
warned TO give up work entirely if he
wished to avoid permanent injury.
Ills ailment was diagnosed as torn
muscle in the set Immediately above
the biceps a form of injury that is
regarded as exceedingly serious for
n finger and from which there never
Is any assurance of complete recovery.
After close to a fortnight of daily
exercising, however, he reports that
he feels no trace of the injury that
put him on the shelf last FAN, and it is
regarded as practically certainty that
he now has nothing to fear on that
score.
Lisenbee's case vastly far the most
serious of the three. 1t was this
former toiler for the outfit piloted by
Clyde Milan who came out second
best in a collisin with Warren Ogden
last August when the Chicks were
battling the Barons. With Ogden at
bat, Lisenbee ran over to cover first
base and was reaching for wide
toss when the Sheik of Swarthmore
crashed into him and sent him sprawl
ing. Lisenbee landed heavily on the
point of his right shoulder and so
injured it that there was much doubt
whether he ever would be able to toss
ball again, much less attempt to
pitch a game.
Lisenbee Coming Along.
Complete rest worked wonders for
Lisenbee, however. He still has a
knot on the top of the end of his
shoulder bone, but after nearly two
solid weeks of using his arm he has
experienced no inconvenience in

was known to fans. played his first
professional base ball with a team in
New Castle. Pa. his home town, and
later joined q Milwaukee team at a
salary of $3.50 a month, which was
regarded as a munificent pay for a
player at that time.

league contract with the Worcester
club OF the National League and dis
placed doc" Bushong until then re.

league, as regular backstop. Bennett
caught DR.. Richmond, the first south

the battery attained much fame.

Detroit of the same league and while
here perfected the first chest protec-

filled with cork. which was worn un-
