~ AYTONA BEACH, March 10
Sir Malcolm Campbell was
- ready to "chuck it" today,
crate up old lady Bluebird,
and sail back home to England un-
satisfied. but standing on the 276.816-
mile-an- hour speed record he set here
over week ago.
Insistence of city officials swayed
him, however, and he agreed to stay
until next Thursday at the latest,
when the full moon of March brings
in the highest tides Of the year to iron
out a beach that at the moment is
going from bad to worse.
However, it seems a safe bet that
if the sandy racing strip doesn't i'm
prove early in the week, Sir Malcolm
will be on his way before Thursday.
Campbell's argosy, now in its sixth
week, has been the most troublesome
of all his trips here in quest of the
300 miles an hour he'll never rest
until he reaches.
The beach never has really been
smooth enough for the speed he has
in the seven-ton Bluebird He was
gassed on one run, nearly heaved from
the car by bumps IN the beach on
another, and finally broke the old
272-mile- hour record with his tires
hanging in shreds from the wheels.

n YEW HAVEN. Conn, March l6.
M Elmer Ripley. head coach
Y of Yale basket ball, will accept
an offer t. become head
coach of George Washington Univer-

Ripley caused a sensation last week

resignation here. He refused to give
any reason for his act.
However, it has been learned from
his friends that he fought with NAL
COIN Farmer, Yale athletic head over
the policies of the Eli team and
Farmer demanded his resignation.
Ever since he left Georgetown six
years .ago to become Yale head coach
Ripley has been displeased with the
manner in which the Eli athletic
moguls regarded basket ball as an
orphan sport and repeatedly refused
to grant Ripley's request that it be
made a major pastime so that ii
would offer more encouragement for
prospective material to try out for
the team.
Yale students tonight were circu-

manding Ripley's retention and the

and from the forecourt accounted for

The battles for the center field
and shortstop posts still rage. AL
Powell, the Washington boy bought
from the Albany club, looks a
great ball player in every way. He
is fielding in fashy manner and
stinging the ball with vengeance
in batting drills. But Fred Schultz
looks better than ever since join
ing the Nationals and is making a
great fight to retain his place in
the middle garden. This scrap
probably will carry on to the start
Of the pennant race.
Lyn Larry, picked up from the

shortfield. In the daily drills he
teams with Buddy Myer in double
play pivots and relays smoothly and
deftly. But he shows no more hit
ting strength than ossie Bluege
and Ossie still fields in his Gus
tomary grand manner. All the
hitting among the shortfield can
didates is being done by Red Kress.
He is swinging a wicked bat and
also is doing no poor piece of work
afield. Red is not to be counted out
of the battle quickly.
A few more games and Harris

ers. The weeding-out process will

Frick Sees Fine
Year for League

CT. PETERSBURG. Fla. March l6
- Ford c. Frick, making his
first swing around the base
ball training camps as president OF
the National League, predicted a
boom year for his circuit today
upon arrival from California.
II know it's customary to be
optimistic at this time Of the year,
smiled Frick. But / honestly
think this is going to be banner
season. for three big reasons.
First, am convinced the world
series victory of the Cardinals,
featuring the Dean boys, re-
vived interest all over the country,
and, secondly, I believe Babe Ruth
will prove a tremendous drawing
card with the Boston Braves.
Finally, I look for the experiment

Milan Tutors Him.

TIE HAS been around professional
base ball four years. The
Pirates plucked him from a
semi-pro club on the West Coast and
shipped him to the Western Associ-
alton. He was plenty green then,
Jack admits, and was shunted about
the minors considerably before he
struck his stride. He has been in the
Western League. the Three Eye, the
Mississippi Valley and the Southern.
The Reds bought him out of the
Three Eye circuit and promptly
shipped him to the Mississippi Valley
loop. Last year he was sold to Bir-
mingham. Under Zeb Milan's guild
ance, Redmond developed into a
high-grade receiver and he probably
would have hit at a good clip with
the Barons last season but for a flock
of broken fingers. He played through
a four-week stretch once without be-
ing able to grip the bat firmly. Jack
did not know at the time that two
fingers on his right hand were
cracked.
His hands are in good trim now.
He can hold the bat properly and he
can swing it, too. If he continues TO
swing in the exhibition games he very
likely will swing himself into regular
place with the Nationals.

who won more than 20 games with the

after the club begins its homeward

During the johnson and Cronin
managerial terms oldsters of the
Washington slab staff got no nine
inning workouts before the season
opened. Harris proposes to work
along different lines. He wants to
know and wants his pitchers to
know whether they can WORK in
championship season form before
the regular season starts.
Taking advantage Of the won
derful weather prevailing at camp
today, Harris sent his charges
through an extra-long workout.

two hours followed with all Of the
veteran pitchers taking turns at
serving the leather to the swingers.
Harris is well satisfied with the
condition of the Washington squad.
There are no sore arms among the
pitchers and no leg strains have
been reported. The only player at
all under the weather is Bump

SURPRISES BUCKy
Smart Behind Plate, Bellies
Low Stick Average in

BY JOHN b. KELLER,

~ ILOXI, Miss, March 16.-John
x McKttrick Redmond of Mesa,
\ Ariz., and points West, who
came to the Nationals train
ing camp little heralded, now has
more than a fair chance of becoming
the clubs first-string catcher. This
somewhat surprising statement came
from Manager Bucky Harris today.
With Cliff Bolton, hard hitter,
and Samuel Holbrook, up with good
record as a batter in the minors,
around, Redmond, who clubbed at
only a .2l2 rate for Birmingham in
the Southern Association last year,
was not given a tumble even as Harris
did his early planning for catching
staff.
Redmond, however, has revealed
such great ability as receiver and in
the batting drills banged the ball in
a way to convince on-lookers he is
much better than .2l2 swinger at
the plate that Harris believes the
Washington club has find" in this
purchase from the BaronS.
At the outset of the training grind
here those in charge Of the Nationals
freely stated that Bolton was to be
the top-notch catcher this year. A
sweet hitter who had shown great i'm
provement in his performance behind
the bat after reporting to the club
late last season, Cliff had no opposi-
tion for the berth, it seemed.

Fast on His Feet.

~ EDMOND has a hrm stance at
II the plate, and he swings freely.
He has hit for distance in the
batting drills. Jack has looked at
some honest pitching, too, not mere
throws that any kind of batter could
slam. Today he faced Earl Whitehlll
when the southpaw was mixing some
high grade curves with fast stuff.
Whitehill was quite fast, but Red
mond met solidly both the curve and
the high, hard one.
The recruit gave quite fine hitting
exhibition for a left-hand batter
swinging against one of the best left
hand pitchers in the business. It was
an exhibition so impressive to Har-
ris that the manager decided then
and there to pay lot of attention
to Redmond from now on. That
Redmond stands at the plate Ike
batter and he's hitting like one"
Harris observed as he saw the re-
cruit repeatedly line the ball to CEN
ter and right. Il know he can catch,
and if he can show me some OF that
hitting in the training games he can
be a regular catcher on my club"
Redmond has stalwart build. He
stands nearly feet and weighs close
to 100. He is al good solid muscle,
too. There is no sign of flabbinesS.
Jack has a great whip in his right
arm. He gets the ball away fast and
in the inf1eld drills has been remark
ably accurate with his throws. And
he has something rare in catcher
speed afoot. He can dust around the
bases.
