Monday morning.
IT did not take Marberry and Crit
i nth long to get together. once they
got into conference, the signing of the
the time they went into a huddle.
Grih made it clear that, although
Marberry is high-priced man, there
never was any question Of a cut In his
salary being involved, the matter for
discussion between them having to do
solely with the big pitchers readiness
for effective toll right at the start Of
the campaign.
In that connection it was explained
by Marberry that his failure to get
going last Spring, when 1t was not
until six weeks of the season had
elapsed before he won his first game,
was not due so much to the fact ne.
was lacking in physical fitness as It
was to the necessity that he complete
ly change his pitching style.
MARBERRY always has been a fast
w ball pitcher, and for years he en-
joyed a great measure Of success on
the mound merely by utilizing his great
speed. He found last Spring, however,
that he had lost bit Of his pep and
no longer was able to bust that hard
one of hts by the alien batsmen.
Something had to be done, II he hoped
to continue holding q lucrative posi-
ton In base ball, and he did 1t.
This was to work hard on the busi-
ness Of developing q curve, something
he possessed In only q limited fashion
due to the fact he never before had
much use for one, and learning to mix
1t up with an occasional sizzler and
some hoaters. It was getting on to the
knack OF spreading his repertoire that
delayed winning for him, Fred asserts.
He also admits he was not in as good
condition as he honestly believed him
sell to be at the time, but assured his
boss that this little matter win be duly
attended to this Spring.
An evidence that he Is in earnest
was furnished yesterday when Mar
berry set his alarm clock and got out to
the ball park before many of the other
players had gotten in to breakfast. He
took Sam West with him and got In q
good workout before the arrival Of the
rain that kept the rest Of the bunch

ter known as Jack, now remains the
only player on the roster Of the Ma
tionals who has yet to bind himself
for service this year.
The youngster, who alone of the ath-
letes with whom it was necessary for
the club to transact contractural bust

ly approaching that of a holdout, to
date has given no sign of yielding in
the salary stand he has taken, but 1t is
q good bet he will be among those
present before the training season is far
advanced.
Just how much difference there is
between the figures he has been offered
and those he believes himself to be
worth are not known, for 1t long has
been the policy of the club to withhold
all such information on the ground that
1t is a matter which concerns only the
contracting parties. but the chances are
the sum involved is not great.
Speaking for his end Of the matter,
President Griffith merely asserts that
he has offered Hayes raise in pay over
what he received last season and that
he is going to stand pat on it. Exactly
