Griffith Still Hopeful.

CCRIVENER, the Alexandria sand
= lotter, and Redmond, product of
the Virginia Valley, probably have
far to go before reaching big league
heights.
That sums up the Nationals present
pitching stock. There is little to boast
about back of the veterans, first-class.
Yet Griffith and Harris may be COM
PEELED to experiment for some time
with the lesser lights.
Too bad the Washington boss could
not pick up pair of experienced per-
formers at the New York meetings
of the majors. Something like Bump
Hadley of the Browns and Leslie Tietje
of the White Sox might easily raise
the Nationals slab staff to q high
grade.
Maybe something along the line of
improvement will be done before the
next championship season. Griffith is
hoping so, despite his threats to stand
pat.

Gives in to Camera Men.

VYIHEN it was brought out that
w during the training trip to
Miami last Spring some of
the reporters were not able to contact
Terry for as long as two weeks at a
time, Terry agreed to receive the press
at least once a day during the forth
coming training jaunt.
Also he promised to ditch the edict
which barred photographers from
swapping the Giants at the Polo
Grounds later than 1:30 pm.
About the only other news to come
out of the love feast was Terry's state
ment that he believes he has the best
club since he took charge Of the
Giants, and his confidence that he
can sign Carl Hubbell, his star south
paw, in two minutes, despite the fact
that Hubbell is reported to be peeved
because he was offered in trade dur
ing the minor league meeting at

Some Promise Here.

THERES some hope in the rated
IL recruits. The right-handed
Armbrust. brought up from the
Chattanooga farm late last season,
while not natural" in appearance
got along right well in his few big
time workouts. He revealed enough to
lead those in charge of the Nationals
to believe he is not so far away from
the major stage.
About the same goes for the youth
full Diggs, who, by the way, came to
the Nationals last Summer almost as a
gift. The Maryland boy looked SO
good as batting practice pitcher that
Griffith. at Joe Cronin's urgence, took
him on in September And Diggs right
handed some slick-looking stuff for his
ball club. The 18-year-old showed a
ball plenty fast and the veterans of
the Nationals stamped him a great
prospect.
Cohen and Petit are left handlers,
the latter with some age on him, and
with club already jammed with left
hand pitchers it does not look so
bright for this pair from Chattanooga.
