Colbert Amazing
In Comeback Try


DRADENTON, Fla, March T.
~ The Florida base ball camps
are buzzing with comeback
hopes this Spring. along with the
parental ambition of the rockies,
but none carries more drama than
the return of Charley Colbert.
Gelbert's left foot was nearly
shot off in a hunting accident more
than two years ago. abruptly cut
ting short the career of one of the
greatest shortstops in the major
leagues.
Colbert today is roaming his old
spot in the infield of the st. Louis
Cardinals with agility. speed and
confidence that is nothing short Of
amazing as well as a tribute to
surgical skill.
A week of practice has strength
ened, rather than diminished, the
prospects of his comeback.
He's certain of utility infield
job this year, at least. and also he
has a future as an athletic coach.
He already has signed as freshman
foot ball coach with Gettysburg
College for next Fall.

~ ILOXI, Miss, March with

lovely excepting Bump Hadley's
tummy and the weather. The
chunky Lynn pitcher pulled up yes
te-day with an ache in the middle
and it had rained here of and on

Nothing serious in Hadley's illness.
says Trainer Mike Martin. 1t was
something that Bump ate, no doubt,
that resulted in the indisposition. The
pitcher was back at the ball park
today for light workout.
The weather situation is something
to cause concern, however. A down.
pour yesterday forced the Nationals
to wait until afternoon to 60 through
their training chores and then the
drill was held in a drizzle. 1t was
warm, though, which. perhaps bene-
fitted the players to some extent.
The Biloxi Chamber of Commerce
is all wrought up over the weather
prevailing at camp. Last week it was
so cold the Nationals could not go
through lengthy drills. After a
pleasant Saturday and Sunday rain
set in and this morning the sky still
was overcast.

THE poor weather has not prevent

has kept the athletes from getting
in a lot of general conditioning work.
The ball yard has been too soggy

1t is all about. Some of the boys still

quickly Is irksome to Mike.
Most overweight in camp is Orville
Armbrust, the right-hand chucker
brought up last year from the Chat
tanooga club. In playing trim Orvie
says he lips the scale at around 100.
The last recording on the scale at
the Biloxi Field Club House showed
Armbrust toting 202. And he is
finding it Furnishing to shed the flesh.
Martin has Armbrust on strict diet.
No pie. no ice cream, no milk, al
most no nothing" says the pitcher
And during his workouts Armbrust
wears two heavy flannel shirts and an
oil skin Jacket to induce free per-
spiration. Orvie really suffers at drills.
Thomas Training Well.
IAN OIL skin jacket also has been
~ handed to AL Thomas for daily
wear at the ball yard. Al did
right well by himself at the table dur
ing the Winter and as result has
plenty to lose. He is responding nicely
to the rigorous training routine mapped
by Martin and in another week should
be fairly trim.
Sam Holbrook. the catcher pur-
chased from Chattanooga, is another
that Martin has his eyes on. Sam is
right bulky. He claims he rightfully
weighs around 200, but can't convince
the trainer this is correct. So after
catching a half-dozen of the hurlers
Sam goes through sessions with the
medicine ball and gets his jog around
the big ball yard.
Generally the squad is in as good
condition as could be expected at this
stage of training. Barring few sore
legs the men are sound in limb. There
has been no arm trouble and those
complaining of ailing props perhaps
will have worked out the soreness in
another day or two.

fame.
He has said before that there was
nothing else to do. The Babe rated
his chance to become a manager.
There was no such chance available
in the American League. therefore, in
all justice, much as it hurt, the Babe
had to have his release.
1T will be quite shock seeing the
Babe in National League flannels,"
he sighed.
III hate to see him on the other
side of the fence. He's been our great
attraction for SO long. Now we'll have
to look to Schoolboy Rowe OF the
Tigers, or. perhaps Lou Gehrig Of
the Yankees, as his successor. But
there is. and there ever will be. only

grief over departure of the Bambino
may become even more acute when
