Harris Is Optimistic.

MANAGER HARRIS, is confident,

to be staged on the field in
Griftth Stadium and at Newark this
week will bevel the rough edges and
have the Nationals in fair condition
for the pennant pursuit to get under
way q week from tomorrow
The ball club was to get home early
enough today to put in an afternoon
Of practice at the Georgia avenue ball
yard. All hands were to report at the
park At / o'clock, and Harris planned
to send them through a three-hour
drill. Batting was to be the main
part of the practice. That is some
thing the Nationals sorely need after
their weather broken tour.
The pitchers will have to get their
final tuning-up in the exhibition tus-
sles this week. And they need much
bf it, too. No member Of the Wash
ington curving corps has been under
fire for more than Is innings since
the training tilts began. There is
much more seasoning to be done.
Among affairs Manager Harris was
to discuss with Clark Griffith, presi-
dent of the club, this afternoon was
the restoration Of Walter Stewart.

Club Is Little Changed
From Last Season.
by JOHN b. KELLER.

~ AP1TAL fandom, for your first
glimpse Of the Nationals this
4 year you may visit Griffith
Stadium tomorrow afternoon.
With Bucky Harris, the prodigal man
ager, back on the job the ball club
will show its wares in an exhibition
engagement with the Braves OF Boston.
1t will be pretty much the same
ball club that the Capital saw last
year, at least in the early part OF the
campaigning. Your ball club will put
out the same outfield that began the
1894 season. There will be one change
in the inf1eld. Lyn Larry will take care
Of the short field post that Joe Cronin
handled.
The catching will be done by Cliff
Bolton, no stranger to Washington
fans, and part Of the pitching will be
done by Monte Weaver, the slender
singer who has decided that meat,
after all. is an essential part OF ones
diet.

The Tigers resume their series with
Cincinnati today, with Alvin Crowder

ST. LOUIS.-With no game sched-
uled for today, the Cardinals and the
Browns will use the day, weather per-
mitting, for practice.
Rain washed out yesterdays contest
between the two teams. 1t may be
rescheduled for Wednesday or Friday,

which the Cardinals lead as result
Of their 6-to-3 victory Saturday.
ORLANDO, Fla.-The most i'm

ers' training camp is Tony Cuccinello.
The veteran second baseman not only
has been fielding spectacularly, but
leads the club in hitting with the
amazing average of .545. He has gar
nered 80 hits in 55 times at bat.
COLUMBIA, S. C.-Recall of Frank
Mccormick from the Toronto club
today loomed as q possibility as the
Cincinnati Reds prepared to meet
the Detroit Tigers.
Mccormick would replace Johnny
Mize-$55, 900 rookie first baseman-

Bucky Likes Scrivener.

CTEWART, although he looked none
too good in his season debut
against the Cubs in Chicago Satur-
day afternoon, has trained faithfully
and earnestly. Harris, on the way
home from the West, said he was
ready to recommend that the club
foot the pitchers training expenses
instead of compelling the pitcher to
pay his own as Griffith had insisted
when Stewart signed after spurning
for several weeks terms offered.
Scrivener is regarded highly by
Harris, and the manager wants the
youngster planted with some minor
club likely to give him the necessary
polish that might make him big
Lacquer. It Is understood that Harris
burg, an Albany subsidiary in the
New York-Pennsylvania League, will
get Scrivener.
The weather jinx pursued the Ma
tionals to the last on their barnstorm-
ing tour. Snow in Chicago prevented
q meeting with the Cubs. The only
break the Washington club got out of
the fall was q chance to get an early
train home. They grabbed one short
" after noon that landed them in the
Capital early today.

THE main strength Of the lacrosse
team Is in the attack, where
Christhilf and Ellinger form
combination that will be difficult for
any college ten to stop. The re-
mainder of the team also is good, but
in this pair the Old Line scoring hopes
lie, and in the last analysis scores
win games. With all its veteran
strength, the Mount Washington Club,
to be met by Maryland this week, is
going to have its hands full.
Widn1yer, to win both dashes in
every dual meet in which Maryland
takes part, should be the backbone of
the track and field squad, but he will
be ably assisted by good many young
sters of more than average ability.
Headley, Sonen, Archer, Beal, Evans
have fine possibilities in the running
events, while Slye and Beers in the
hurdles and jumps and Drake and
Guckeyson in the field competitions
have even chances for victories in most
of their meets.
We'll have the best balanced tennis
team that ever has been on this
campus, and we'll win at least five

the way Les Bopst, in charge Of and

Bopst feels are in the of1ng should

Where Pros, Amateurs Differ.

COMEBODY once said that the diff
y ference between a professional
and an amateur in any sport Is
that the professional knows he has
got to win, while the amateur is in for
the sports sake and knows he does
not have to win. This implies that
the professional puts greater effort
into his sport to win and Is willing
to take more chances and go to
greater lengths to achieve victory.
Neither of these surmiseS is wholly true,
and sometimes not even partly. Ger
tainly few professionals are willing
to take as long chances Of getting hurt
as the amateur is willing to take.
Furthermore, it is doubtful II the
professional puts forth any greater
genuine effort to win. 1t is possible
that the professional may do things
that the amateur would not, but this
implies a lack of sportsmanship in
professional athletics that professionals
would deny Indignantly. 3
The difference between professional
athletes and amateur athletes is the
same difference that exists between
the professional actor and the anna
teur-finish. 1t is that quality Of
doing things right at the right time;
that ability to transcend the average,
to go beyond the ordinary, to reach
the top, the result of long and dill
gent training and practice, that
marks the difference between the
professional and the amateur. whether
it be on the track, on the base ball
field or on the stage 1t is not only
experience that makes the difference.
because it takes something more than
experience. Experience added to nat
ural qualifications is what carries one
individual far beyond the average.

Personality Is Dominant.

HARRIS has settled, but certainly
II not softened, since his first
managerial connection wit h
the Washington ball club. In the 20's,
Bucky was an inspiring leader, clever
and with a vivid personality. Today
he guides his charges steadily, but
with spirit; he is shrewd and saga
cious. possessed Of a keen sense Of
proportion, and he dominates the club
with a forceful personality.
Evening star., 1935-04-08

so young as he at the time, in Bucky's
conduct of the Nationals after pen
nants were won in his first two years
at the helm. It was this let-down
that brought about his separation
from the Washington club after the
1923 campaign. That separation had
a chastening effect, and Bucky comes
back a better leader than ever.
In his fiye-year term at the head
Of the Tigers following his departure
from Washington, Harris found the
going none too smooth. He was max
ing his own way more than he ever
had while with the Nationals. But
he made a good job of it, considering
what he had at hand.
After all, 1t was Harris who readied
the Tigers for the pennant they won
last year while he was lifting the
Red Sox to heights they had not at
tanned in nearly q score Of seasons.

BALL TEAM LOOKS
BEST SINCE 1920
Lacrosse, Tennis and Track
Squads of High Order.
G. U. Hit on Grid.
BY III, C. BYRD.

w WHATEVER may be the final
M outcome Of its schedules,
v v the University of Maryland
has the best outlook for a
successful season with its Spring teams
it has had since it first attained promi-
nence in the intercollegiate athletic
world.
Not the least doubt exists that the
base ball and lacrosse teams are
able to stack up with the best in their
respective fields, while the track and
tennis squads unqeStionably are at the
peak, as far as Maryland in these fields
is concerned.
Let us take a glance at the Mary
land nine. for example. Coach Ship
ley, without a good deal Of practice,
has it playing headS-up ball and has
better material to play headS-up ball
with than has been in Maryland uni
forms since 1920. The find of the
Spring in base ball seems to be Charley
Keller. who may have some superior
in college ranks when it comes to
clouting any kind of pitching, but, if
he has, that superior has not been
seen in these parts. Gormley and Love
are an excellent pair Of catchers;
Willis, Merryman and Loker form a
hurting staff about as good as any
college can hope TO have, and the
inf1eld and outfield measure up to
the same high standard. OF those that
graduate this year, McAboy, third
baseman, deserves a chance in pro-
feSsional ball.
