CROWDER appears in even better trim
~ than he was at similar stage
in the 1882 training season. 1t
will be recalled that the General last
Spring got away to his best start in
the championship race since coming
back to the Nationals from the Browns
in 1880 He promises to be in splendid
stride when the bell rings next month
in Washington.
Against the tribe in his three inning
debut. the General had that battling
change of pace that made life so mis-
cradle for many American League
batters last year. He pitched with much
freedom, his action as good as might
be expected Of hurler at the outset
of the flag race. And at times he put
plenty on the ball Certainly Crowder
did not fear to bear down with his
pitching in his first test Of the year
under fire
Whitehill, too, showed an arm well
loosened, but the southpaw transferred
from the Tigers during the Winter. was
content to pitch well within himself
Not once did he make any effort to zip
'em through. At that, the Indians did
little against him. They got four hits
IN Earl's three-inning term, but two
Of the hits were decidedly scratchy.
Weaver took the humping in the
game. but he was no weakling. His
main fault, perhaps. lay in trying to
pitch too well. Physically in fine trim,
the rangy right handler who last year
was the rookie sensation of the Junior
major circuit, studied every pitch and
consequently tightened in his work
Hurting freely, Weaver probably would
have been much more impressive.
Monte learns his lessons quickly.
Very likely he'll be a smoother per-
former the next time out.

Sure Reserves Will Be Ade-
quate-Second Tribal
Tilt Rained Out.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

DILOXI, Miss, March 90
X Well satisfied with the work
L. of the three veteran hurl-
ers, who made their 1888
debuts against the Cleveland In
dians last week end, although his
club took a licking, Manager Joe
Cronin is more confident than
ever that his Nationals will have
the finest curving corps in the
American League this year.
"Crowder and Whitehill looked even
better than thought they were at this
stage Of the training grind" declared
Cronin today. And Weaver, too was
better than the run-an-inning record
made against him might lead one to
believe.
I'm sure Stewart and Al Thomas will
come through in great style also once
they break into the exhibition games
That'l mean with the many days for
conditioning remaining we'll take into
the championship season the strongest
staff Of starting pitchers in the circuit.
"Of course, we'll need more than start
ing pitchers" the boy field boss added.
But We'll have the reserve. Russell is
coming around nicely and when he's
right he's a tough one to get to. And
those youngsters, Linke and Bud
Thomas, promise to be plenty good
Burke should show something once he
gets rid of his sore arm.
Back of them are McAfee- and
Friedrichs. both have been ailing, but
either may come through and make the
reserve force. We should have plenty
Of good pitchers for relief work this
season.
"On paper, the Washington pitching
lines up as the best in years and"
Cronin went on emphatically, "it'u be
just that on the field"

PATSY ANN, CANINE
 CREETER, FINDS IT
 PAYS TO BE A TRAMP

Sometimes 1t pays to be a tramp, at least that is what Patsy Ann, the inveterate steamer greeter dis covered when taken in by the pound master for wandering the streets of Juneau without license. Probably the best known canine in town, Patsy Ann is a born tramp also one of the most difficult to find when her owner, Jackson Rice, is looking for her, and con- sequently was casually meeting steamers and planes with no tag long after the limit had passed.
 However. Chief c. J. Davis felt that the deaf Patsy was too much of a public character to keep con- fined and decided to give her i'm munity from the tag law, so when Jackson Rice went to the pound to retrieve the errant wanderer he found she had already been released and gone her way.
