~ nOXT, Miss, March 15.-From
K team representing little fish,
ing town on the Eastern Shore
of Virginia, to a major league
ball club is the jump Nelson John Jes-
ter is trying to make. Like advancing
from private to general in one move.
But Nelson John is striving earnestly
at the Nationals camp here on Mis-
sissippi Sound. He never has played
much base ball. He is but little more
than 10 years old, for he was born
September 26, 1911. But what little
he has played has been right good,
ing when he was big enough to hold a
base ball, he says, and he's been at 1t
since every chance.
He made his FIRST big hit as player,
though. with the high school team in
.Chincoteague, Va, where he was born
and still resides. Nelson John was an
infieloer then, playing mostly at short
stop. He's catcher now, however.
He was in base ball several seasons
while in high school and was rated
one of the strongest hitters as well as
one of the best flelders on scholastic
diamonds in his section Of Virginia.
Nelson John took to catching in his
last season with the school team and
has been playing only behind the bat
since.
During the past two Summers young
Jester branched out in the sport. He
played with the Chincoteague town
team that made quite a mark on the
Eastern Short of Virginia. The fame
of the Chincoteague nine spread as far
as the oceanside counties of Maryland
and Nelson John got into many games
with the Chincoteagues at coast re-
sorts.

Bob Shawkey's hope that the

much better season in 1880 than
they did last year is based, to some
extent, on the fine condition of four

Ruth came to camp this year with
very little surplus weight and seems
to be in as good shape as he ever has;
Pennock apparently has conquered the
neuritis that laid him low and Ben
