SPORTS
By KIRK MILLER,

The best thing that could
have happened for the fight
business materialized when the
Primo Carnera-Max Baer fight
was arranged for June, rather
than to have let the matter drag
until September, which latter
date had been under discus
sion.
Fight fans are tickle at best,
and nothing CRATES on their
SenSibilitieS so much as mac
ton on the part of their ring
idols. Fact is the dry rot
which has threatened the fight
business and produced so many
poor gates can be attributed
to not only inaction but lack
of natural attractions.
The Carnera-Baer booking is
in every respect a natural, but
even it's glamor would have
been killed had this pair waited
until September to meet. The
public would have no trouble
losing interest in q heavy
weight championship booked six
months in advance. Truth to
tell, it is going to require very
delicate' handling to spread the
ballyhoo equitably over the
three months twixt now and
the fight date, June IA, so as
not to overdo it nor yet let
it grow stale to the fight
minded.
The Unwritten Law
One of the noble qualities of
baseball has to do with the way
the older players will work with
younger ones in an effort to
develop budding talent for util-
ity at a future date, often to
fill the very shoes Of the ones
who are doing the instructing.
It is the unwritten rule of
baseball that player can't last
forever, and each season you
see the ageing veterans taking
the rockies in hand, imparting
to them principles of play
which it has taken years to
master. This, mind you, with
a definite knowledge that soon
er or later the neophite in
question is likely to chase the
man who is coaching him,
right off the ball club.
School Successors
Two such cases are imminent
on the Washington ball club
this season when both Ossie
Bluege and Luke Sewell will be
called on to help tutor Cecil
Travis and Cliff Bolton, respec-
lively, when the latter decides
baseball is more remuneratIve
than grocering. And Bluege
and SeWell will address them
selves to their tasks with

Batting practice will be the

activity, Cronin's program of in

inaugurated.
Include Everything
These latter drills will include
Everything" that has been
mapped out in the young pilots

outfield throwing to the various
bases and what to do and what
not to do when cutting down
runners in the baselineS.
Said Cronin today:
eve won't start this inside
stuff right away, as most OF
the boys will be anxious to get
in plenty of batting practice.
But we'll have time to spend
on it later-timc that will Of
fer both interesting and ino
structive hours, as 1 believe the
fellows will finS out, once
they've been in couple of the
drills. AS to the batting drills,
all of us will get plenty OF
chance now with the double
system being worked, as only

morning sessions, as per the lists

Luke Sewell, eighth.
Lineup Uncertain
The young pilot stated that
this batting order will not rep
resent the team when 1t opens
the regular season, however, as
he still is undecided just how
he will arrange it for the i'm
portant games to come. But it
will be used for the next few
days, even for the first few
exhibition games not so far ahead:
The entire batting array, both
regulars and utility, will face
some better than average spring
pitching, incidentally, as most
every hurler in camp has reached
that stage where he is nearly
"set" to throw anything plate
ward that he might desire to
put on the ball.
The regulars particularly Will
get an overdose of good pitching
as such men as Whitehill, Crow
der, Stewart, Thomas, Russell
and Weaver will be pitching with
plenty of speed and curves. Their
efforts against those veterans VIII
be interesting to follow.
