CONDITIONING PLAYERS
Walter Johnson Has Idea of His Own As To How Pitchers should Get In Shape.

Tampa. Fla, Feb. 26 Rl-Walter Johnson. manager of the Washing ton Senators, has ideas of his own about conditioning pitchers, and he is putting them into effect at the training camp here. Johnson has informed his squad of batterymcn that the first thing they should do is to get their bodies in shape and that then their arms will quickly round into condition. Consequently there has been little ball tossing but an unusual amount of setting up ex- ercises, with some running by way of diversion.
 The pitchers in camp include Brown, Bruke, Campbell, Cantreli, Hopkins, Liska, Waver and Hadley. Albert Bool is the only catcher who has reported thus far. though Mud l dy Ruel was expected today. Bool who came up from the Southern league is big and strong and hit .344 last year.
 The first, of the infelders are ex- pected next week, and advance mo- tices of Charley Gooch who hit .357 for the Little Rock club of the Southern Association in 1928 indi- cates that he may give Stuffy Stew art and Jack Hayes a battle for the second base position.

CLAIMS NURMI IS
 IN POOR HEALTH
Finn's Only Defender Scons at
 Charges of Officials

New York, Feb. 26 Rl-A defen- der has risen to espouse Paavo Nur- mi's cause against the massed attack the Phantom Finn" brought down upon his head when he failed to ap- pear for the national A. A. U. championship last Saturday night. The defender is Hugo Qust.
 Quist. the Finnish runners one and only counselor. declares that Nurmi has been ill since the early part of this month and that it was only because he was in poor condi- ton that Paavo withdrew from the two-mile steeplchase at the national championships. A. A. U, did not learn of the withdrawal until an hour before the race and promptly met and indefinitely suspended the famous runner.
 Quist scoffed at reports that Nur- to try conclusions with his younger Finnish rival, Eino Purje, who won the steepIechase and in so doing, broke the worlds record.
 Purje knew Friday afternoon that Nurmi was not going to run in the steeplechase, Qulst says, and it was because of this knowledge, he main- tains, that Purie decided to run in the obstacle race rather than in the tWo-mile flat event against Edwin Wide of Sweden. Purje. according to Qust, was in Nurmi's room when the older runner penned note to A. A. U. officials saying he would not run, This letter, written last Friday afternoon, Quist says, was not re- ceived at A. A. |. headquarters until yesterday. Quist believes the delay was due to the fact that Nurmi post cd it on legal holiday, Washing tons Birthday.
 Incidentally Quist said stories of bad blood' between Nurmi and Purje were not based on fact.
 If the registration committee of the Metropolitan association. A. A. U., accepts Quist's version of the case. there does not appear to be anything for it to do but to reinstate Nurmi. The A. A. Us chief reason for Nurmi's suspension seems to have been based on the contention that Nurmi did not inform meet of ficials of his withdrawal in good time. But if Nurmi establishes that he wrote his letter on Friday after noon, the day before the meet, he can not very well be held responsible for the letters failure to reach it's destination until yesterday.
 As the case stands now, Nurmi will remain under suspension at least until tomorrow. when the registra- ton committee is to meet to discuss the case. Nurmi will attend the meeting in person, Quist says. Even though he should be rein stated, Nurmi will not run again un- til he recovers his health, Quist says. The Finn fulfilled several of his con- tracted appearances only because he felt obligated to go through with them, his friend declared.

New York, Feb. 26 H9 With seven straight victories on their string, Pennsylvania s hoopsters can clinCh the Eastern Intercollegiate basketball league championship to- night with a victory over Columbia.

 Reserves Down Panthcrs
 The preliminary was by far the better game of the two. The Pan- thers put up a sturdy fight against the Boys club Reserves and were beaten down only in the last quar- ter. They led in the first few min- utes of play and were dangerously close at 16-11 when the first half ended. Two spectacular long shots and a foul. all by Maietta, tied the score in the third period, but Puzzo gave his team the lead again with a free try. Rametta and Normont. who had been benched during the third quarter, returned as the last one began and led the Reserves out of danger.
 Carl Rametta starred for the win ners. with Boukus playing a fine shooting game. The deadly shooting of Maietta. who dropped in four from unbelievable spots, featured tn Panthers' play. The summary: bOyS' Club Reserves

BOYS CLUB WINS l BASKETBALL FARCE
Revised Team Trounces Fair Haven Aces-NeW Players Star

Coach Ray Anderson did things to the Boys club basketball teams last night and the teams in turn passed the things along to their un- fortunate opponents. Captain Stan ley Zembrowski and Albert Rakutis were moved up from the Reserves etta and Jos Boukus were dropped back onto the Reserves. and the shaking up seemed 10 do all four good, for they were the outstanding players in double victory. The Reserves overcame the Panthers by 31-19 in a fast and interesting game. while the first team slaughtered the Fair Haven Aces of New Haven by 47-10 in what was mere travesty of the game of basketball. The down staters were no match for the locals. and scheduled return game was cancelled by the club management.
 Zembrowski and Fakutis. the new first string players, scored the first baskets. and Paiuch. the third sub. made 1t 60. The club was leading by so before Frazer made the Aces first points and by 'o-.' be- fore any of the regulars s-'ed. It was 13-3 at the quarter and 2S-4 at the half. Parparian Goffa. and Grusha took to the floor in the second half and the last named promptly put in a sensational one- handed shot. The score was run up to 41-6 by the end of the third per- iod. Just before this session closed Dork. who had been playing rough game for New Haven, collided with Goffa and knocked him to the floor, opening big cut over the local cen- tcr's eye and forcing him to retire from the game. In the last period the play of the local team degenerat and the end of the game was well come. Grasso, who had been yap- ping constantly. was thrown out by Referee Tobin near the end, lcavin. New Haven with four men. so raluch also retired and the teams finished with four apiece.
 Icmbrowski and Rakutis starred

One of the last obstacles of the Corbin Screw shop team as 1t moves along the path to the championship of the "" Industrial basketball league Is the P. & r. Corbin team which it will meet tonight at 7:so o'clock at the Stanley Arena. This will be the first cf three game program. The second sams will be a contest between Russell E Erwin and Fafnir Bearing and the third will be between tho Cabinet Lock and New Britain Machine quintets.
 Fans tonight will see team which was the greatest in its time pitted against another team which is now holding all the honors. For four years the P. X r. Corbin team was one of the greatest quintets to play in the Industrial league. It finished in tie for the top position as tho season ended in It's first appearance in the league but it lost the cham- pionship in a post season game. It won the championship the follow- ing year and finished second for the past two years. This year. how. ever it has been defeated often. Corbin Screw made its first ap. pearance' two years ago and finish. ed second in the league standing. Last year it won the championship and this year it will win the cham pionship if it captures three moro games. That is if the Stanley Rule team wins all the remaining games on the schedule. Some fans believe the Screw Shop team is greater than any of it's predecessors.
 Coach Bates of P. & r. Corbin will start the five men who have started the last two games. but there is some question as to how they will line up. For the past three games the forward combination has consisted of Mike" Luke and Cor man. The coach may shift German to guard and move Jasper to for- ward where he will work with his running mate on the Middletown Red Wing outfit. Hoist will play center and Paris will be in at right guard.
 The usual Corbin Screw lineup consisting of Luty, center: Yaku- bowicz and Joe Luke at forwards and Arburr and Darrow at the guard positions. May Re Eliminated If Fafnir loses to Russell & Ere win tonight it will be out of the running for the championship. At the present time only Corbin Screw, Stanley Rule, Fafnirs and tho Stanley Works have a chance to win the title. If Corbin Screw wins. tho best Stanley Works can do Is to tic last years champs. This could be done if the Stanley Works wins all it's games and Corbin Screw loses all the games remaining on the sched. ule.
