|CH|SOX IN REVOLT
| AGAINST MANAGER
Shires, Deposed Captain, Is
Leader of Rebel Attack
on BIackburne.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, April 2.-Revolution
has broken out in the ranks Of the
White Sox because of the training
methods and disciplinary measures en-
forced by Manager LENA" Blackburne.
Blackburne, the rebels charged, had
wounded their pride by shopping" on
their actions off the diamond. Further
more, they said the team was not be-
ing run right and that they were
forced to play fourth-rate teams on
Sibility of learning any base ball.
Despite recent warnings from the
Chicago headquarters and his three-day
benching and the loss Of his captaincy
for breaking training rule, Art Shires,
rookie first baseman, dictated a state
ment in which he gave vent to his
feelings.
IT didn't want to come to this club
in the first place." the Texan said,
"and I didn't ask them for the cap
taincy. If they don't want me to play
first base for them, all right, too. If
they don't want me on their squad, all
right again. Let them trade me or send
me back to the minors. There are
plenty of clubs that can use me"
Several other players, who were not
as bold as Shires to give a public state
ment, complained they were being
treated as Juveniles.
Blackburrie said he was running the
club and that he intends to enforce the
training rules.
Bill Cissell, who cost the White Sox
$4,000 In 1927, was another who
openly admitted his dissatisfaction.
Cissell, like Shires, was benched for
breaking rules.

depart for Daytona Beach to tackle
the Montreal team of the International

for tomorrows combat with the
Smokers. BY tomorrow night the
evacuation of the camp will be COM

Regular and second-string squads
will join forces Thursday morning in
Jacksonville for the northward barn
storming tour. If the Nationals get as
much from the games to be played on
this tour as they have from those in
which they have engaged in Florida
they should enter the American League
campaign April 16 prepared to give all
rivals great tussle. It's a promising
club Walter johnson will lead out OF
Florida and there's no reason to believe
it will break down in the two weeks
remaining before the flag race gets
under way.
In about every way the Nationals
eXcelled their major league rivals In
the Is games staged in the grapefruit
league. They outbatted, outfielded,
outpitched and generally outsmarted
National League representatives they
encountered.
That record of 10 wins in the Is
starts against big timers is most i'm
pressive and the three defeats were not
particularly decisive. The Braves of
Boston, after taking two lickings,
rally in the ninth. The National
League champion Cardinals scored two
wins in five games, the first by Z to 6,
when they counted twict in the ninth,
and the second by 4 to 2.
Griffs Bat for .319 Mark.
In the IS games the Nationals went
to bat 458 times for 146 hits and Sc
runs, whaling the ball for a club
average of 319. The opposition was
at bat 44o times for 118 hits and Ga
runs, getting a 1858 average for its

Washington had total of $50 chances,

HALE PROVES HANDS
ARE NOT so SMALL
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBIA, S. c., April Sammy
Hale, third baseman for the Philadel-
phia Athletics, has exploded the myth
about his supposedly small hands.
Hale was pretty wild the other day
when he picked up a Western news
paper that resurrected the story about
his hands being so small that his third
basing was handicapped. He stormed
into doctors Office to have his hands
measured and emerged smiling. They
were pronounced trifie smaller than
the average. but not unusually under
sized. Hale compared the measure
ments with some of the other Athletics
and learned that his hands are as big
as those of Cy Perkins, Mule Haas Jack
Quinn and Joe Hassler.
The examination revealed that the
little finger on Hale's left hand is
somewhat squashed and can bend va
rious ways, which may account for the
occasions when the ball fails to stick
in the glove, especially when the ball
strikes near the end Of the finger.

Smokers Prove Easy.

After tussling for three weeks with
the big leaguers, the Nationals yester-
day found the Tampa Smokers some
what easy pickin's.
without extending themselves, john
sons proteges triumphed. 2 to 2, the
game being no contest after the OPEN
ing inning.
Tampa reached Arch Campbell for
two runs in their first batting turn to
match a brace of tallies made by the
Nationals then the Southeastern lea
guers were forced to call it a day In
so far as run-making was concerned.
Campbell pitched the first five innings
and Ad Liska the last four for wash
ington's big timers. The first two men
to face Campbell nicked him for q
single and triple. Arch famed the
third batter up, but a second run
counted as the fifth man was thrown
out. From then on the smokers went
out in order until two were down in
the ninth. Liska then hit one batter
and passed another, but the game was
over when Stuffy Stewart, performing
at third for a change, deity picked up
q grounder and got his man.
The Nationals got but seven hits,
five of them off Chief Sackett, a left
handler, in the first seven innings. Four
hits and two passes the chief yielded
were good for five markers. In the
two rounds Gus Andrews, a right
handler hurled, Johnson's crew got two
tallies with two safeties and walk.
A revamped Washington team faced
the Smokers. Sam West and Jack
Hayes were permitted to rest, Spencer
Harris going to center field and Joe
Cronin to second. Cronin starred at
the keystone sack. johnson made
several lineup changes before the game
ended.
Harris started the Nationals run
making by beating out bunt to the
Tampa third-sacker. Buddy Myers
single and sacrifice lofts by Goose Cos
lin and Red Barnes got Harris home
Myer swiped second and counted as
Ossie Bluege hit for base.
Tampans Tie 1t Up.
The Tampans got these runs back
before Campbell settled to his stride in
the first inning, but the pitcher put
the Nationals ahead again to stay in
the second session. Joe Judge walked
and went to second when Sacketi
also walked Cronin. iSpencer's long out
TO right let Judge go to third. Then
Campbell made it three runs for the
round by driving homer under the
fence back of right field.
Stewards Texas League double, a wild
chuck by the pitcher and Barnes sac.
rifice fly accounted for a Washington
score in the eighth. Another run came
after two were out in the ninth from
Benny Tate's stroll and Liska's three
