BASE-RUNN|NG
DRILLS FOR
STONE
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

BILOXI, MISS, april L.-4nS
Griffmen face their first home
stretch of the season, the final
week of the training and ex-
hibition grind before reaching
Griffith's Stadium.
And in keping with the usual
well-laid programs which have
featured each week of the spring
season, Manager Joe Cronin had
one more to offer today, which
he plans carrying out to the full
est extent, counting the weather
as help.
First, it is the young pilots
idea to put his new outfielder,
Johnny Stone, through series
of base running drills, which will
help that performer to become a
better player than he is.
Next, the pitchers, rockies and
veterans alike, will be given
longer assignments on the mound,
both in the daily batting drills
and the exhibition games ahead.
while last but not least, more
batting practices will be held to
get the entire team in expert
shape for the important season
to commence April Is.
Stone Starts Today
Stones base-running practice
will start today and will be the
order of the day until departing
time on Wednesday. Cronin sees
great promise in the lad as a p0-
tential base Stealer because of his
natural fleetness of foot, and it is
the plan to bring it out in base
stealing way, particularly when
every club needs runner of this
type to grab additional sacks at
important occasions.
The pitchers will begin going
the longer routes in the Memphis
games on Thursday and Friday.
This means that whoever is the
starter will pitch at least seven
innings, in order that the neceS-
sary nine-inning tests later won't
develop into such a hardship. So
far five innings is the longest any
of the hurlers have travelled
those laurels having gone to Ray
Prim, who went that distance
against the Cleveland Indians
week before last.
Prim To Hurl
Prim, incidentally, will hurl part
OF tomorroW'S game against the
Pensacola Naval Air Station nine
supposed to be one of the best
semipro teams around this section.
Jack Russell will be Manager
Cronin's starter. Five innings will
probably be his assignment for
the day with Prim finishing out
the string.
Cronin hasn't decided on his
pitchers for the Memphis series
as yet. The veterans will be ia
vored, however, as the young pilot
realizes he must give them all the
work he can at this late stage Of
the spring season in order that
they might become completely seA
for the regular season.
Lack Games
The lack of exhibition games
has been a real handicap for the
pitchers, incidentally. And for the
simple reason that they've had to
miss many a necessary work out"
which the games offer.
Yesterdays contest with the
New Orleans Pelicans, which the
Pelicans won 2 to 0, helps to drive
home the thought. Gen. Alvin
Crowder, Earl Whitehi1l and Monte
Weaver were the pitchers. It
wasn't there turns, but Cronin had
to use them in preference to Prim.
Linke and Burke, who should have
worked, because he didn't want to
wait until tomorrow'S game with
the AviatorS.

A total Of 47,192 automobiles were
inspected in the State during the
safety inspection campaign which
closed last Saturday according to an
announcement made Monday by
Walter Dent Smith, president and
manager of the Delaware Safety
Council. This figure does not iu-
clude the number Of cars inspected
Saturday at the safety lane in Kent
county and those inspected at one
of the Wilmington lanes.
An additional 400 owners have
been granted an extension of time
as they are outside the State on
vacation trips. This leaves less than
1000 automobiles throughout the
State which have not yet been in
spected, Mr.. Smith said.
This figure is considerably under
that of last year when $3.50 autos
were still uninspected at the close
of the campaign. While there are
approximately $4,000 automobiles
registered in the State It is believed
that a number of those still unin-
spected have been withdrawn from
the highways or junked since the
licenses were taken out.
