TEAM SP|R|TLESS
AGAINST BUSHERS
Shows Fight Only in Games
With Indians-LoSes, 4.6,
to Birmingham.
BY JOHN B. KELLER,
StsH Correxpondent of The Star.


~HATTANOOGA, Tenn, March
30.-Bucky Harris soon will
be cracking the whip over
his Nationals unless they
suddenly show spirit to win. Thus
far the Washington ball club has
flashed real fight only in two games,
those played with the Indians at BIZ
loxi. Against minor foes his charges
have performed as though they did
not care what happened so long as
the ball game was disposed of, and
Harris is boiling over this Indifferent
play.
He is satisfied with the physical
condition of his club and now he
wants it to play base ball. That Is
something the Nationals are not
doing against the minor league COM
petition they are meeting. They must
do so quickly or hear something from
the manager that will make many ears
burn and possibly deplete some of the
checks to be issued the first pay day
of the championship season.
OF the 10 games thus far played
the Nationals have lost a half dozen.
And five of the losses have been to
minor aggregations. About all the
players have done is go through the
motions of putting on ball game.
Batters have swung half-heartedly
much Of the time. The fielding more
often than not has been wabbly. De-
fensively, the club has been nothing
short of stupid.

To Meet Braddock, Waits for Manager to Act

has up his. sleeve for me-" he told
the Associated Press, "and I won't
talk to anybody any more until Joe
arrives in Germany"
Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's American
manager, believes the Teuton's title
match with Max Baer will be fought
outside of New York State, probably
in Chicago, under Madison Square
Gardens promotion.
The Garden, holding contracts on
the services of both Baer and Schme-
ling, found its plans for a title match
between the two in New York in
June disrupted by the New York
State Athletic Commission. The COM
mission ruled that Schmeling would
not be approved as challenger for
Baer until he first had met Braddock.
Jacobs consistently has refused to
permit Schmeling to fight Braddock,
leaving the Garden with only one
apparent alternative-to take the
match out Of New York State.

Louis Scores Knockdown.

CHIFTING his 1856 pounds around
y the ring with lightning speed,
Louis dropped Brown for a nine
count with smashing left hook In the
first round, and from then on. he had
everything practically his own way.
Twice Brown sought refuge outside
the ropes to dodge the hammering
attack of Louis gloves. and each time
he refused to return to the ring until
Louis had moved away.
Louis came out of the fight un-
marked, but Brown had cuts over both
eyes which sent blood streaming down
his face. Brown carried Louis to the
ropes once or twice, but inflicted no
damage.
The Detroit boy warded him off and
danced in, driving his left hard to
Browns face. The Washington fight
er had so much to do trying to de-
fend against that left, that he spent
little effort on his own offense. Brown
weighed 1856.

Copp0la Looks a Star.

THE more this Coppola pitches, the
more it looks as if the Washing
ton ball club has one of the
hill finds" of the year.
In all, the Nationals got eight hits
That's something to their credit. They
have done so only twice in their last
six Set-tos. Half their hits were off
Moore, who went three innings. They
got three more off George Murray,
who once was Washington hurler, in
four frames. Dick Stewart, an un-
known, allowed one in the last two
sessions. There was nothing hot
about the Nationals hitting.
The Nationals opened the fray
handsomely, getting three runs from
pass and trio of singles. Myer did
the walking, while Manush, Stone and
kuhel attended to the heavy attack.
Then they folded while the Barons
went wild.
Weaver was walloped for three one
basers and issued a pass at the out
set of his term and the Barons pulled
up to tie. To add insult to injury
the tying rally went over in a double
steal.
In the second, the BIRMINGHAM
bunch got to Weaver once more and
broke the deadlock with two runs.
Moore, the pitcher, opened the round
with a walk and rode home on Horns
triple. long fly sent in the second
score.
One run was picked up by the
washington club in the sixth. Lary's
single, an error on Schulte's pinch
tap and Myers two-bagger turned the
trick. There were two on and as
many out when ManuSh stepped up
to roll softly to the second baseman,

Y some after capturing three Of
the last four world series, the
National League is all steamed up
for one of the gaudiest seasons in its
60-odd years of existence.
With Babe Ruth in the circuit for
the first time as an extra-special

to introduce night base ball as fresh

There is a demand for more slam

popularity of the more primitive tac-
tics practiced last season by the
world champion Cardinals. There is
no doubt that challenges will be is
sued and accepted with alacrity as
the season unfolds. 1t may be neces-

Giants Have Recovered.
OANDOR, however, compels the as
I sertion that it appears distinctly
like another tWo-club race for
the old gonfalon. flag or pennant.
To be more specific. it looks from this
observation post as though the New
York Giants, despite the embarrass-
ment of their collapse in the last
month of the 1884 season, have re-
cuperated sufficiently to turn the
tables on the st. Louis Cardinals.
At least six and perhaps seven clubs,

clubs in the Western half of the cir

the Cardinals and the Giants, glaring
at each other from opposite ends of

looking combinations of pitching,
power and defense. It's toss-up be-
tween the Chicago Cubs and the
Pittsburgh Pirates for third place, de-
pending upon the benefit each derives
from the player swaps they engi-

The Giants look best this Spring
for several reasons. They beat them

How Many Games for Deans?

n ball world by announcing that he
ana Paul would haul in Is VIC
tories. They hauled in 40. not in
cluding four world series affairs.
In the course of a golf round where
Dizzy turned in n. asked him to
nominate the Dean total for 1885.
Il surprised 'em little last year."
Dizzy said with grin, in saying
we'd win As games.
I'm going to surprise 'em even
more this year by leaving myself
out of ii now. But I'm going
to pick Paul for 25 games, and
he may do even better"
twenty-five ball games are quite
few to pack away" I suggested.
Il know they are" Dizzy said, but
just remember that 1884 was Paul's
first year in the big leagues and also
that he was hurt. Now he has the
experience he needed. He is faster
this year than he ever was, and
honestly believe he's faster than any
one in base ball. His control is per-
feet, and any kid who can win his
first two world series starts doesn't
have to bother about his heart"

Last year," he said with another
Dean smile. they didn't know so
much about me. So thought I'd
better tell 'em in advance. Just to
kinder break the shock. This year
I'm going to try to tell 'em on the
ball field. You know, pitching's
funny business. You can pitch badly
and win, and you can pitch a great
game and lose. But I know I never
felt better. I'd give a lot if the season
was going to open tomorrow. I'm
