Take Risk on Youngster.

TT SEEMS they would rather risk
using Travis for possible gain
in offensive power even with
decrease in defensive strength likely.
Undoubtedly they still have faith in
Blueges ability to perform brilliantly
around the sack, but seemingly are
not convinced that even with his new
specs would the veteran be able to
make his bat tell in the Nationals
cause.
When Clark Griffith, club president,
and Cronin were boosting Travis
stock during the Winter. the belief was
general that the boosting was done
more to maintain interest in a cham
pionsh1p club apparently settled as to
personnel than anything else. Some
thing to add spice to club publicity,
followers of the Capital outfit figured.
1t did not seem possible that the
Bluege who had played SO admirably
through IL campaigns had so faded
that virtually untried youngster was
ready to usurp his position. There
was nothing logical seen in the plan
to substitute green Travis for Bluege,
long hailed as the finest-flelding third

not in both majors.
There's no doubt about it now, how
ever. The Washington club officials
are in dead earnest. They want hit
ting even at the sacrifice of fielding
and they seem confident that Travis,
who banged the ball at a high rate

properly to intercept low bounds, pois-

down base runners, throwing to bases,
taking care of runners sliding in and
diagnosing various infield situations.
Yet, as recently as week ago, Travis

YANKEES PROTECT
PRESTIGE Of A. |.
Loop Would Be Far Back in
"Grapefruit" Games but

n IEW YORK, March 21.-If
M it weren't for the New
v York Yankees, the Amer
4 ican League wouldn't even
be a close second to the National
in early returns from the annual
grapefruit league" competition.
Twelve interleague contests have
been played SO far and the American
Leaguers trail by a margin of only
two games, 7 to 5. The Yankees,
picking on the Boston Braves, have
won 4 of their 5 victories. The other
was chalked up to the credit of the
Philadelphia Athletics, who were
beaten in five other jousts with Ma
tional League outfits.
Setting the interleague pace for
John Heydler's loop are the world
champion New York Giants and the
Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have per-
feet record against the American
League with two successive triumphs
over their city rivals. the White Sox.
while the Giants have won and lost
l. The Brooklyn Dodgers earned the
seventh National League victory,
handing the AS one of their setbacks.
The Yankees, Boston Red Sox and
Washington Senators alone have
escaped defeat so far. Joe McCarthy'S
Fusileers have won four in row, all
from the Braves. The Red SoX de-
feated the Detroit Tigers in the only
game they have played so far. Wash
inpton hasn't even begun its exhibit
ton schedule.
Here's how the clubs have Jared so

are Runyar, Shute. Metz, Laffoon,
Revolta and quite few others who
can play brilliant golf.
Who looked for young Ralph Guldahl
to lead al the pros in the last open?
How many picked Johnny Goodman
to win?
And there is just as much light
hearted keenness on the part of the
veterans when it comes to chucking
the poisoned harpoon into Bob Jones
system by way of paying up ancient
scores and healing old-time sores.
In this list you will find Mac
Smith. Willie Macfarlane. Whiffy Cox,
Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen. Bobby

others. The old-timers, or the vet

since there will only be one l8-hole
round a day. This can make quite
a difference when you have been
tramping the turf for some 20 years
or more

BIuege Now Underdog,

DESPITF this, Cronin is bent upon
~ going along with Travis at the
far corner while the veteran
Bluege does his drilling around the
short field with no chance, of course,
of getting in regularly as a short
stop Prepping for the post occupied
by Cronin is nothing but sheer waste
OF effort.
AS he fields now, Travis must hit
exceptionally well to make his substi-
tuition for Bluege worth while. And
he has yet to prove himself big
league batter. He broke in flashily
with the Nationals last season when
Bluege was out of commission tempo
rarily. making five hits in six times
at bat in his first game.
But he was a mark for the pitchers
during the remainder of the stay,
and failed to shine at bat when he
came up from Chattanooga again to
fill in at third as the Washington club
ran out its string.
Travis has done some effective LETT
hand swinging in the batting drills
this Spring. but he doesn't look any
better at the plate, at that, than he
did last Spring in his tryout with
the Nationals. Then the unheralded
Bob Boken came on from Kansas City
to beat him out in the battle for an
extra infield berth.
This time, though. those in charge
of the club want him in there and
evidently they will have him in there
regularly if he gives only the slight
est indication of making good as
hitter. AS it seems now, what bat
ting there is to be done for the third
base job with the American League
champions must be done by the vet
eran Bluege. not by the youngster
brought back from the Chattanooga
farm.

than 25 traps on the entire layout.
1t is the type of course where one
over par is rather simple, but where
the pars are something different. The
vast expanse of green, with so little
sand in sight, makes this battlefield
look much easier than it actually is.
There are many problems around
the greens where so many mounds
and slopes must be figured out. For
this reason it offers a rare chance to
such fine chip-and-putt stars as Run
yam, MacFarlane, Shute and Horton
Smith. Those entries who can handle
the ball around the green will have
decided edge.
It is a test, however, demanding
great variety of strokes, and for this
reason a true championship battle
ground in every respect.

PLAYS NO BETTER
THANLAST SPRING
Drilling BIuege to Sub at
Short Appears Waste
Of Energy.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

~ ILOXI, Miss, March 21.-
- OSsie Bluege may think
\ he can take care of third
- base for the Nationals
while wearing his new specs,
but apparently he hasn't sold
the idea to Joe Cronin.
After announcing that the veteran
probably would give way to Cecil
Travis, the rookie from Chattanooga,
only when the opposition employed
right-hand pitching, Cronin has sud
denly revised his plans and installed
young Travis as the clubs regular far
corner guardian.
The manager says the move is
made only to give the 20-year-Old re-
oruit a tuIl measure of experience at
the pest in the Spring exhibition
series, but a significant feature of the
change is seen in the complete GUST
ing of Bluege from third base, for
Cronin has ordered the veteran to
prepare for service as a second-string
ShOrtstop.
1t looks as though the powers that
be with the Washington club still are
as determined to make a regular of
the harder hitting, but weaker field
ing, youngster as they appeared to be
when sounding his praises to the sky
during the Winter intermission.
Bluege insists that the special
glasses he got to correct his vision
that had hampered him at bat sew
eraI seasons would not interfere with
his work afeld and should make him
a greater factor in his clubs attack.
In the little fielding he has done at
this camp the glasses have not handi-
capped the veteran. Nor has he dis
played any timidity at the plate in
brief batting drills. Yet evidently
club officials are skeptical.

Right Balance Doubtful,

VEN if Paul only does half as well
t. as he predicts, the Cardinals
will be that much better forti-
fed to challenge the Giants and seek
their fifth pennant in nine years.
Outside of their mound staff, the
Cardinals have a number Of star
players, but it is a question whether
they have the right balance and
enough batting punch. The trade of
Jimmy Wilson to the Phillies for big
Virgil Davis, who hit .349 last year.
increases the batting power. but Will
sons skillful backstopping will be
missed
Several new combinations have been
tried and recruits tested, but the in
held seems certain to start the season
with Jim Collins at first, Manager
Frisch in the keystone spot, Leo
Durocher, base balls premier Jockey
at short, and the acrobatic Pepper
Martin on third. The Cardinals, who
lost a great shortstop when Charley
Colbert filled a leg with buckshot,
earnestly sought Dick Barten Of the
Phillies, and still have hopes of add
ing strength to the infeld. Burgess

heavy premium on control and
direction, as far as the drive is
concerned, on 10 Of the 18 holes.
But there are four holes on this
course that may tell big part Of
the story.
They are the fourth and the sixth
going out-the eleventh and the sew
enteenth coming home.
These four holes range from 400 to
$40 yards. They can all be reached
in two fine wooden shots. where both
direction and distance must be linked
together. The longer hitters will
have their chances here TO pick up
three or four strokes each round.
Neither the late Dr. Mckenzie nor
Bobby Jones believes in golf hole
which no one can reach in two shots.
But in at least two cases one must
face gamble in getting home in two.
For example, there is the fourth
one Of the finest tWo-shotters in golf.
This hole measures 400 yards in
length. 1t is sharp dogleg to the
left, where the first gamble comes in
a grove of trees and winding brook
waiting for pull.
If the drive comes off, an even big
ger gamble faces the second shot if
one expects to hit the green carpet
with brassie or spoon. For there is
yawning, brook filled gap against
the face of this green, which must be
carried. If it isn't carried, the turns
into 6 or worse.
There also is water guarding the
green on the 500-yard seventh, slight
ly downhill, which can easily lead to
another on the part of the bolder
player who goes for the green.
But the main idea here is to place
your tee shots at the right spot and
open up the many mound-guarded
greens for the iron to the pin
If the drive is off line, the ap-
proach may call for an iron shot over
a high mound to a green, which slopes
away-almoSt impossible to hold. It

x 2l.-The Dean boys of

- best this Spring to relieve
Frank Frisch of worry about how
far his pitching staff will carry
the ST. Louis Cardinals in this

race.
Frisch has some pretty fair fingers

Carleton, Bill walker and the
ubiquitous Burleigh Grimes, but the
brothers Dean, DIZZY and Paul, have
separately and collectively expressed
an entire willingness to shoulder the
main burden. Twenty victories apiece
is the minimum they have set for
1884. In fact, Paul, the family'S fresh

batting, base running and aggressive

Joe Medwick's first full year in the

product of the Cardinal farm system.
His fy-snagging mates, Ernie Orsatti
and George Watkins, have given the
club so much argument as hold-outs
that the camp is filled with trade
rumors, including one report that
OrSatti would go to the Phillies in a
