Manager Joe Cronin has or
ganized a special committee to

The committee on new mound ma

The committee having the rockies
IN tow will hold frequent conferences
on the merits Of their various charges
IN an effort to systematic the train.
Ing. Cronin wants each Of his COM

charge in the same manner and thus
avoid confusing the rockies by q Sc

The first report on the progress of
the young pitchers will be made by
the committee to the manager at the

poets to Gull from the squad the more
promising of the rockies and send
them through course of intensive

Frisch will have two Deans pitching,
and two Deans like Dizzy and Paul
can make a pitching staff. Paul
comes up from Columbus, where he
won % games for the American Asso-
citation champions and there are a lot
of base ball folk who say he will be
a greater pitcher than Dizzy"
So far Dizzy" has not subscribed
to that belief, but he does admit there
is only one pitcher better than
Brother Paul. Heise, a left-hander
from Columbus, may also stick with
the club, and with Mooney. Hallahan,
Walker, Rhem, Carleton and Haines,
the Cards will have some right smart
pitching talent. Then old Bur"
Grimes may do a comeback and win
few games.
Collins, Frisch, Durocher and Mar
tin likely will make up the first string
infleld, although Bergman, who batted
$40 for Columbus, may chase Du-
rocher out of the shortstop position,
and if Charlie Colbert can resume
play, after years lay off, he will
win over both Bergman and Durocher.
Crawford. Delker. Carey. Riggs and
Whitehead are the other indelders,
but none Of them are tops. Spud
Davis will do most OF the catching, so
that position is we'll filled.
One Garden Place Open.
ZOE MEDWICK and Watkins are
almost certain to hold down two
- of the outfleld posts with Ernie
Orsatti, Jack Rothrock, who came up
from Columbus via Boston, Chicago
and number of other places; Mills
from Rochester and Moore from
Houston battling for the vacant patch.
Rothrock batted BAT in the American
Association, and if he was learned to
hit big league pitching he will
strngthen the team, for he is tre-
mendously fast and a good fielder.
The other recruit outhelders do not
seem to possess enough batting power
to help the cards to any extent.
So Frisch has anything but a great
ball team. 1t might develop, and
with good pitching would be formid-
able. Keeping peace on the club is
one of Frisch's main tasks and
Frankie's diplomatic talents are yet
improved. He intends being a strict
disciplinarian on the ball field, and
much of the Cards success will hinge
on how he gets along with the Deans.
Gabby Street had only one Dean to
handle and some trouble in doing
that. With two Deans the Job may
be much tougher. No one will accuse
Frisch of having an easy Job but
likely the young man will handle it.

BY JOHN b. KELLER.

nOXI, Miss, March T.
X School has opened for
Cecil Travis-the school
- of the mechanics and fine
art of playing third base.
Washington's rookie inflelder,
picked by the club officials as
the successor to that sterling
veteran, Ossle Bluege, is in the
doefo o OF sce0fe I1of in i'm
fielding, and daily instruction is
being given at the training
camp here.
The Nationals manager had his
pupil working at the far corner of the
infield nearly an hour yesterday.
while others of the squad were going
through their pepper drills and arm
loosening exercises. Travis proved an
apt pupil. Cronin said, and is expected
to make much progress in his studies
before the full squad Of Nationals is
assembled next week.
In the first lesson. Travis was
shown the proper method of stopping
low bounders coming right at him
and how to poise himself for the
handling of slams to either side. The
youngster while with the Nationals
last Spring revealed weakness on
low bounces and was often sluggish
in his footwork.
Cronin gave demonstrations of how
to bend for the low ones and how
to get up on the toes instead of stand
ing fat-footed as Travis had been
doing. The rookie seemed to get the
ideas quickly for near the end of the
instruction period he was scooping up
everything batted toward his territory
whether on a low bounce or high.
