Griffs' Hitting Not Consistent
Despite Wins at Birmingham;
Fail to Clout Young Hurlers
BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

~ BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 28.-
X After seeking soundly in a
string of exhibition games, the
Nationals seem to be forgetting
what base ball bats are made for. In
their last three tussels. Cronin's charges
have failed to flare in attack.
They got away with a win here Sun
day although their offensive was mild
and they picked up another game yes
terday without startling the Birming-
ham Bugs by sustained slamming Of
the leather.
In beating the Barons, to 4. in the
second set-to of the series the Nationals
got IL safeties. Polling two homers and
three singles for 5 runs in the first
frame. it looked as though the Cronln
crew was in for a great day. but, there
after it was not at all dangerous.
That first inning furry was at the
expense of the venerable Ray Caldwell,
who years ago hurled for the Yankees.
Ray has been down in the minors
many moons. however, and yesterday S
effort was his first under fire this
Spring. Vines and Hayes, he younger
and better conditioned pitcfHs that
followed the veteran, had the Nationals
almost at their mercy.
And it has been a flock of young and
generally untried pitchers that has
checked the Nationals recently. Wash
ington's wallops don't take to the lads
who chuck the ball anywhere but over
the plate.
BUDDY MYER and Fred Schultz

ers Buddy drove Caldwell's sec
ond pitch into the right-field bleach
ers, while Fred poled his four-baser to
the depths of left center. Manush and
Goslin, who had singled, scored on
Schulte'S clout. Kuhel, who had
walked. got to the plate on Manush's
hit and Cronin's foul hoist to the left
fielder

Both players had been optioned out

Dashiell had been playing second
base in a creditable manner for the
Lookouts for three seasons. But when
Griff sent Wes Kingdom back to Joe
Engel's team it placed Walter on the

call on Uncles minor league talent that
goes up on the block.
Now Robbie wants a pitcher-a left
handler. if he can get him. When the
team stops off in Atlanta for three

er will get together to talk over a
hurler.
Just who the young man is going to
be is a question. The gossips say that
Burke will remain with Chattanooga,
and a Lookout southpaw, now with the
club, will be shipped to Uncle Robbie.
Anyhow, Griff has another buyer for

0UTF|E[D RESERVE
PROBLEM FOR PECK
Otherwise Indian Chieftain
Is Satisfied With His
Cleveland Array.
BY RALPH WHEATLEY,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
n YEW ORLEANS, March 28-Give
nj Roger Peckinpaugh one good
Y utility outfielder and the Cleve-
land Indians can duel against
the best of steel In the American
League
The club is well shod in all other
quarters, but an injury in the outfield
would cause situation that makes
Peck Shudder. Indian scouts are out
looking for another outfielder, as this
weakness must be strengthened.
If the need should arise, it is not an
idle guess that Eddie Morgan might be
sent to the outfield and turn over his
present first base to Harley Boss. the
f1ashy fielding baseman that led the
minors last year with Chattanooga.
Such a shift, however, would be forced
by emergency as boss has been hitting
in practice like ham from the sticks.
DUT the rivalry in the infield between
- Morgan and Boss is overshadoWed
by that between John Burnett, reg
ular shortstop, and the 21-year-old
William KnickerbOcker. up from Toledo.
Burnett has been handicapped by an
arm ailment suffered during the Winter
lay-off and for time it looked as If
the youngster would roll him. but the
arm has improved lately and Burnett
Is slated for his old berth. Cissell has
second base without dispute and Kamm
IS going strong on third.
Averill, Powers and Vosmik will hold
down the outfield as regulars and Roy
Spencer a Senator turned Indian this
year, takes the place behind the bat
left vacant by the trading OF Luke
Sewell to Washington. Myatt will con-
tinue as second-string catcher.
All of this is well enough. but the
pitchers battery Is what really warns
the cookies of old Pecks heart. He be-
lieves that ball games are won by
pitchers and he has five starters,
Brown, Ferrell, Harder. Hudlin and
Hildebrand whom he believes are the
equal of any in the league.
He particularly likes to talk about
Oral Hildebrand, Butler College star,
bought as raw rookie from Indianap-
oils. as he believes the Hoosier is just
beginning to reach the peak of mis-
game He had played base ball only
four months when the Indians bought
him in 1880 and kept him farmed out
with Indianapolis until last year.
Peckinpaugh feels good over his
prospects, but he is worried about sup
port for his outfield. With furrcwed
brow, he explained that it seems i'm
possible to build perfect team. For
four years he searched in season and
out of season for shortstop to fill his
old job Now he has two shortstops.
When Lew Fonseca broke his leg 1t
weakened his first-base strength. bu:
Eddie Morgan rose to the occasion
until now he has two good first base
men.
Everything looked rosy this season
until Porter failed to reach to base ball
form as an outfielder and old Peck has
hoisted an SOS signal from the outfield
Got to be always looking for some
thing" he growled.

Weaver did the flinging for the Cronin

The left-handed Whitehill yielded
three hits in the first five rounds and
Weaver gave up as many the remainder
