A Much Travelled Pitcher.

@RONIN has an idea that Chap
man might make a 60 of it as a
big Lacquer. A hefty, who, when
he Is right, has much on the ball.
Chapman apparently lacks only the
fire so necessary to the making of a
major moundsman. He has gone
about his work too mechanically to
please those in charge of the club. 1t
appears, though, that Chapman after
a series of earnest conferences with
Cronin is ready to make a real fight
for a berth.
1t is odd that Chapman has dis
played so little of the get-up-and-
s-go-after- spirit after his long
service in professional ranks. He is
no greenie. Ed joined the Syracuse
club back in '26 and was member of
the Cardinals chain until the Ma
tionals purchased him last year from
Rochester of the International League.
Ed has been around. In his first
eight seasons in the game he pitched
for Syracuse, Houston, Topeka, DAN
vile. Laurel. Fort Wayne. Scottdale
st. Joseph, Columbus, Mobile, Green's
boro and Rochester. He must have
had fine fighting spirit when he Was
with Greensboro in 80, for he won the
Piedmont League play-off for that
club by pitching it to the four vic
tories needed. Rain spread out the
series and thereby permitted Chap
mans repeated use on the hill. Even
so, only a stout-hearted pitcher could
have done what Chapman did then.
All Hands Coming Here.
COMEWHERE along the line Ed let
y the fire diminish. 1t must flare
again if he is to stick in fast
company. Cronin believes it will and
the pilot is pretty shrewd in his judg-
nent of player.
Only last Sunday President Clark
Griffith said two or three of the
rookie hurlers still with the squad
would be shipped before the Nationals
got back to Washington for their
short series of games prior to the
opening OF the championship cam
paign. Now the boss of the works says
all hands will get as far as Washing
ton anyway.
He wants to see what these rockies
can do against major batters in the
tussles with the Braves and the
Dodgers.
Even Mark Filley, the right-hander
who belongs to the Albany club, will
be retained at least until he has an
opportunity to show his wares in a
battle with big league lineup.
Grifhth now is arranging for the
transfer of Elmer Klumpp, catcher,
and Gus Dugas, outflelder, to the Ma
tionals. Klumpp. brought here from
the Chattanooga club to help the
pitchers in training. has impressed
Cronin as being a splendid prospect
for a berth behind the bat, while
Dugas, an Albany product, has con-
vinced those in charge he can larrup

Currently, he is directing David

also for his direction of Little

In the rush to the classics, Cuko2

Many books which properly belong
