Play, big 5-year-old chestnut,
owned by Mrs. Silas B, Mason, won
the $4,000 added Bay Meadows
Handicap over a mile and an eighth
today.
The temperamental son of My Play,
out of Red Head, winner of the
Preakness and the more recent San
Juan Cspistrano Stakes at Santa
Anita, upheld the faith of his hackers
in easy fashion. He won by three
and-one-half lengths, packing top
weight of 118 pounds.
Time Supply, winner of the first
Bay Meadows Handicap, ran second
and Gusto third. Dark Winter was
fourth and Thomasville trailed. The
time of 2:00.3 was slow, but all that
could be expected
TTEAD PLAY, 3-to-5 favorite, paid
of on 81 mutual tickets 1920
to win and $2.40 to both place
and show
Time Supply paid $3.50 and $3.50
and Gusto So.
The race was worth $4,000 to the
winner. Time Supply drew down
$4,000, Gusto $4,000 and Dark Win
ter 81, 900.

you can get down on the line right
now that unless some other place
comes along with a most attrac-
tive offer-and that offer must include
besides a fine field and club house a
stable amount of dough-Biloxi will
get the Nationals next year.
While Joe KuhelS ankle that was
cracked last June now is well healed
Mike Martin is taking no chances with
it. The trainer advised Manager Harris
to yank the first baseman after the
third inning of the game here today.
The infield in the Mobile park is so
packed that it is almost as hard as a
paved street and Martin feared 1t
might damage Joe's underpinning.
Bob Etts. the Semi-pro from Mar
garetville, N. Y, will leave the Biloxi
camp tomorrow for home. Recon-
mended to Griffith by a New York
friend, Etts was brought to camp for
a thorough inspection. The right
handler showed some ability as a
pitcher, but not sufficient to warrant
the Nationals prexy seeking berth
for him in the minors Too bad for
Etts, but he has enjoyed his stay on
the Gulf Coast
Only four more games remain on
the training trip schedule. Two are to
be put on tomorrow, while the regu-
lars are playing Kansas City again in
Mobile, the second stringers will
tackle Albany in Biloxi. Wednesday
and Thursday in Biloxi the Blues will
be engaged. After that 10 games will
be played on the road before the
Washington club gets home on April 8.

BILOXI IS ASSURED
OF CLUBS RETURN

Staff Correspondent of The Star.

NNSAAA
NH oB1LE. Ala March 2S.-
M When the Nationals break
vi camp at Biloxi next Thurs
day they will start their
northward trek in far better condition
than the squad that left the Gulf
town last year. This has been the
most successful training camp ever
conducted at Biloxi, according to those
in charge of the Washington ball club
and that despite the week of rain that
handicapped to some extent the con-
ditioning routine.
On only one day was the club COM
PEELED to forego practice. So heavy
was the downpour the players never
left their hotel. On every other day,
even Sundays, the squad got out and
the balmy weather of this week more
than compensated for the curtallment
of drills during the damp spell.
The bright and warm days that have
prevailed recently will Just about get
the Nationals back in Biloxi next year
for their training work. While the
heavy rains were on, everything around
camp was gloomy and SO was every
thing about the Biloxi Chamber OF
Commerce. The business body saw
the washington ball club slipping
away to a milder cline and that meant
a wad of bucks slipping from the
town. This training stuff puts a
healthy nick in the Nationals treasury
and the players themselves always
leave considerable money behind when
leaving camp. 1t pays town to have
a ball club use it TO get in trim.

CAMBRIDGE WINS

Y ONDON, March 23-Americen
athletes, for the first time in
| several years, failed to play
decisive part as Cambridge
scored a IA victory over oxford in
their annual track meet run in a
heavy rain at Whit City today.
Wilson ElkinS Of Texas, finishing
second in the pole vault, and the sec
ond place of Fenton Gentry of Vir-
ginia in the shotput summed up the
Americans best efforts for oxford.
E. F. Drake, former Rutgers star,
gave the Dark Blue a third place in
the half mile, while R. B. Greenough,
formerly OF Amherst and the only
American competing for Cambridge,
was third in the shotput.
Elkins was unfortunate enough to
run into F. R. Webster of Cambridge,
who. after winning the pole vault,
went on and cleared the bar att IL

record set in 1890.

Atmosphere Is Bracing.

TROM the start Bucky Harris has
liked Biloxi as e spot to train
although he did weaken trifie
on the place during the week OF
torrential rains. The recent fine
weather. though. has made him a
strong booster for the place. While
warm, the Biloxi weather is not
enervating like that in Florida. The
players after a brisk workout do not
tire as they used to do when the
Nationals did their training at Tampa.
The Biloxi air is braclng.
And there is another angle to the
Biloxi situation that Harris especially
adnires. II is the smallneSS OF the
place that gets the Washington
manager. He prefers this little town
with a population of $4,000 to a place
like Tampa, Miami or San Antonio,
cities that at times have been men
toned as likely to get the Nationals
next year. There are too many dis
fractions in the big places for the
players, the pilot holds. Biloxi is just
right for his ball club.
Clark Griffith, of course, always has
regarded Biloxi as most desirable
place in which to train his ball club
ever since it first went to the Gulf
Coast in 1880. The Washington preSi-
dent likes the climate and also holds.
like Harris, that small town is mucn
more preferable than a big place for
his athletes during the conditioning
season.

Stage Another Rally.

TINE Nationals picked up four more
off Taylor in the sixth, when
again they clustered five safeties.
Travis and Larry hit for base each.
Kress singled Travis home and Red
mond grabbed Hadley's bat to double
and tally two. Powell singled TO get
Redmond to the counting block.
Olds yielded a brace of scores in
the seventh. his first inning on the
hill. Travis walked and Weaver got
on base through an error by the
shortstop. Kress's third single pushed
the pair over the big base.
1t was a wild throw by Larry that
paved the way to the Kansas City
Marker in the fifth. The shortstop
made a nice stop of Schulte's hot one,
but threw way over the first sacker'S
dome to put the runner on second.
Hadley disposed of the next two bat
tiers, but Ray French, the old West
Point and Athletics player, singled
Schultz home.
