Southern Association Fingers to Have Mettle Tried

more training in the niceties of the
pitching art and an improvement in
control he will be able to start games
for the Nationals in the championship
race. For time, control was Lisen-
bees forte but recently he has faltered
bit In this respect. However, he
has been locating the plate better in
daily drills this week and Harris is
hopeful the youngster will come
through with most impressive per-
Torrance at Tampa tomorrow.
Jones' case is somewhat different
from that Of Lisenbees. When De-
catur came to the Nationals last Sep
TENDER from the Chattanooga club, he
was hustled into league contests i'm
mediately and acquitted himself in fine
fashion. Every one connected with
the club thought it had acquired re-
markable hurler This Spring. how
ever, Jones has not been getting along
and too we'll He has shown a ten
dency to lose his stuff" in pinches in
games. although in batting drills on
Plant Field Decatur has exhibited the
same mastery of the ball that made
him look so good last Fall.
But Manager Harris has not lost
faith in Jones. Instead, he has an
idea Decatur will become one of the
dependables of the National pitching
staff. Jones loss of ability is only
temporary, the pilot seems to think,
and he firmly believes the pitcher will
regain his cunning with the longer
mound sessions to be gone through
by members of the National corps in
the Spring exhibition contests.
Reserves Trim Regulars.
Reserves of the National squad were
doing a deal of cigar smoking today
at the expense of the regulars, the
prevalence of the weed among the
recruit element of the club being the
result of a 9-to-3 licking handed the
old-timers at Tampa yesterday After
the game Jack Onslow. who directed
the Yannigans, collected several boxes
of cigars from Bucky Harris, head of
the regular outfit.
With Stan Coveleskie, Curly Ogden
and Lou McEvoy doing their pitch
ing, the Yannigans had the regulars
all but helpless throughout the con-
test. But four hits were CLEANED off
this trio of pitchers. Covey and Ogden
yielding one each. And for their sea
son starts each of these hurlers
worked remarkably well.
For the regulars, Fred Marberry.
Leo Mangum and Bob Burke did the
fiinging. 1t was Marberry's initial
effort of the season and he was the
victim of an onslaught that sewed up
the game for the Yannigans. 1t came
In third inning, when an attack
headed by Dick Cullop, who socked
homer to the far reaches of center
field, put the Yannigans in front for
good and all.

~ RLANDO, Fla, March ia
4 couple Of young pitchers out
\ of the Southern Association,
VI in which both President Clark
and Manager Stanley Har.
ris have been greatly Interested
this Spring, are slated to go to the
hill for the Nationals tomorrow when
the Reds are met on Plant Field in
Tampa. Two other Southern circuit
fingers We're to do some slabbing
against the Cincinnati club here this
afternoon, but their tests apparently
do not assume as much importance in
the minds of the Prexy and Pilot as
those scheduled for Decatur Jones and
Horace Lisenbee.
Maybe Griff and Bucky figure they
know just about all they can of the
capabilities of AL Crowder and Irving
Hadley,' who were to go to the firing
line this afternoon. At any rate, they
are looking forward eagerly to the
sessions of Jones and Lisenbee tomor-
row-sessions that will be longer than
either pitcher has gone through so far
this training season.
Griffith, particularly, is giving Lii
Senbee much attention. Perhaps 1t
is because this Memphis product cost
the Nationals quite a sum, and the
Proxy is more than anxious to realize
on his investment. But Harris is
watching Lisenbee colsely, because he
believes that in this sturdy looking
young fellow he has a real pitching
find.
Lisenbee Seems Fixture.
Now when Harris gives careful con
sideration to one of his young pitchers
these days such consideration must be
regarded as especially significant. For
some time the manager has said that
with such a lot of promising talent
about, it will be extremely difficult to
weed out the youngsters who, per-
haps, are not yet quite ready for the
big show, but whenever he discusses
his hurlers he always wakes enthusi-
astic about LiSenbee, and never does
he hint that Horace will be one of the
athletes likely to be sent back to the
minors for more seasoning.
In fact, Harris is apt to lead one to
believe that Lisenbee right now is
fixture with the Nationals, and that
this Highlander from Memphis might
prove one of the surprises of the new
crop of slabmen coming UP to the
American League this season. So far
Lisenbee has worked only six innings,
and in these he has been bumped by
the opposition. But the humping has
not been hard enough to make the
manager believe it was more than ac-
cidental.
Harris is of the opinion that Lisen-
bee has all the qualifications for a
clever hurier and that with bit

"ORT MYERS. Fla, March 10
l. Legs are the rub in the camp
of the Philadelphia Athletics.
4 If a base ball team plays on
it's legs as an army travels ON
it's stomach, Connie Mack may be able
to read his base ball fortune in the
pins of some of his famed athletes.
Six ancient legs supporting three
Philadelphia recruits are likely To tell
the tale. Ty Cobb is 40 years of age
and has been an American League
star for % years. Eddie Collins is 81
and has spent IS years In the same
league. Zach Wheat. IS. has played
Is years in the National League. IT
seems certain that the great trio Will
start the season in the Athletic line
up. Collins at second, Cobb in right
and Wheat in left No question has
been raised as TO the ability Of all
three to hit hard and often, but only
time will tell If they can field as they
must to make the AS pennant con-
tenders.
Another new player ON whom Con
ME Mack pins confident hope is BOley.

is called joe" although his name is
Jack, will play shortstop. with Chick
Galloway, tn clubs regular short
Eddie Collins, who will captain the
team, has not seemed so spry in the
Spring as his fellow veterans, Cobb
and Wheat, and Max Bishop may get
more opportunity than the substitutes
for the outfielders.
Cobb will not be content to- be an
inspiration" although Manager Mack
has declared that as such he will be
worth all he costs the club, IF he
doesn't play 10 games" The former
Detroit manager expects to play the
string out. something he has not done
since 1924. Last year he played only
70 games. He has some trouble this
Spring with an old injury to his back,
but he has insisted on taking his place
in the lineup in exhibition games in
spite of it.
No club in either league will be SO
we'll fortified in reserve material as
the Athletics. Eight infielders will
be carried throughout. with "a decision
pending as to whether five or six out
fielders will be retained. If two sets
of outfielders are kept. the pitching
staff will include eight instead of nine
members, all veterans.

There still is a question as TO whether
Jim Pool or Dudley Branom, pur-
chased from Kansas City will take

at the position.

the outfield trio, with French and La
mar in reserve if the supply is lin
tied to five. Should sixth crash the
gate, Metzler, late of Wichita Falls,
Tex, seems to have an advantage in
the bidding.
