"AMPA, Fla, February 22.--with
the standing order to take 1t
easy" being rigidly enforced
4 and with no fragrant violations
detected. the rookie pitchers of
the Nationals are making prog
ress toward fitness for real work In
the box that exceeds the fondeSt ex'
pectations of the field bosses.
Due in large measure to the often
reiterated warning to all candidates
to avoid overeXertion, there Is not q
single case of genuinely sore arm in
camp. whereas at this corresponding
period in other Spring training ses-
sions it has been nothing unusual for
half dozen to be listed as casuals.
The clinical book is not entirely
without entries, of course, for the
usual crop of torn finger nails, bruised
thumbs and blistered heels Is being
harvested. but the ailments all are
minor in nature and thus far none has
been prevented from indulging in his
daily course of calisthenics.
Such satisfactory strides toward
general conditioning have been made
by some members of the cast that If
the regulars were due to unlimber
their bludgeons for the first batting
practice of the season today. instead
of next Monday. they would find more
than a couple of the singers ready
with offerings that would furnish all
they could cope with.
Snappy Drill After Lay-off.
After a day Of complete cessation
from all diamond chores the aspirants
for box berths yesterday were so eager
to labor that the drill sergeants had to
redouble their efforts to prevent over
exertion. The Sabbath respite. COM
bined with the fact that tlle-day was
bit coolish with breeze that made
sweaters ana windbreakers comfort
able, so filled the boys with pep that
they went about their duties with
greater amount of enthusiasm than
has yet been shown.

ways opens the days program,

ON MARKET

Recommendation of the District
Commissioners with regard to the
acquisition of site for the new
farmers market will be before the
Senate District Committee shortly
after Congress convenes next
month.
Under the terms of a resolution
adopted by the committee last
March. the Commissioners were in
structed to open negotiations with
the owners of the site selected by
them. and report hack a tentative
agreement for its purchase for rati-
fication by Congress.
1t Is understood, however, that
the Commissioners have found it
impracticable TO carry out the plan,
and will not go further than to
make recommendations for further
action by Congress.
The Public Buildings Commission
Is anxious to have the farmers
market transferred at the earliest
possible moment, so that the
excavation for the new Internal

completed. 1t is probable, also.
that some provision for the removal
of Center Market will be made
at the coming session. because it
is planned to start work upon the
new Department OF Justice struc
ture, on the market site, during
the next fiscal year.
Senator Capper, chairman o. the
Senate District Committee, said
today that he hoped to be able TO
accept the District Commissioners
report on market problems and to
avoid further protracted hearings on
the issue.
