v ONDON, March 21.-A move to

the Olympic games at Berlin
~ was side-uacked today by the
Amateur Athletic Association.
A motion was introduced by the
National Workers Sports Association
asking the A. A. A. to withdraw its

British athletes to compete "since the
spirit which prompted the organization
could not be forwarded by participa-
ton"
The motion, however, was withdrawn

ton would be called should the N.
W. S. A. request it.

Tussle With LOokouts Today
Begins Heavy Week for Mats;
Red Catcher Gets Griff's Eve

in Orlando, the Nationals will wind
up the week on Saturday by enter
tanning the Browns, who also will
stay over for game Sunday.
TRAINING camp followers today
weighed a new rumor concerning
President Clark Grifhths search for
a catcher. The player whose name
is being linked with the Nationals is
John Peacock, a youngster who belongs
to Toronto, a subsidiary of the Gin
cinnati Reds.
Griffith and Manager Charles
Dresser went into conference before
today's game and it is believed the
Old Fox sounded out the Cincinnati
pilot on chances of getting a receiver.
The Reds with Ernie lombard, Gilly
Campbell and Hank Erickson are we'll
fixed for capable backstoppers and
intend to leave this department alone,
but during the course of Grihth's
talks it was brought out that Peacock
is some shucks of receiver.
There was no confirmation from
Griffith on his attitude toward Pea
cock. but so we'll touted was the
youngster that it is felt Griffith will
make an effort to see him in action
and if possible land the boy. Peacock
is reputed to be heavy left-handed
batter and good thrower.
ID OBERTO ESTALELLA may be the
~ big drawing card in Washington,
but he apparently doesn't mean much
in Tampa which is well populated
with Cubans.
Grifith, anxious to draw out crowd
for today's game with the Reds,
flooded Tampa newspaper offices with
"copy" and pictures of Estalella. But
the old town, whose CubanS from
Ybor City used to turn out en- nlasse
to watch Senor Adolfo Luque ply his
trade, remained cool.
There was only a handful OF Cubans
in the stands and had they not been
good duckers even fewer Cubans would
have filed out of the park. When
Buddy Lewis made his big error in
the fatal fifth inning he flung the ball
into the right field section where
the worshipers of Estalella, third base
rival of Lewis, were sitting. No dam
age was done, however, except to
Lewis standing among the Cubans.

BY FRANCIS E. STAN,

TAMPA, Fla March 2l.-They
moved a carnival with lions
and tigers out of Plant Field
l. today to make way for a ball
game. but the old training ground
which served to give birth to a pair
of pennant-winning Washington
teams in 1924 and 1925 wound up with
q circus anyway. the Nationals GAL
lantly throwing the game, took rs
beating from the Cincinnati Reds
without allowing a single earned run.
1t was a dizzy sort of show that
bore all the earmarkS Of good base
ball until Buddy Lewis threw ball
into right field in the fifth inning.
From then on, with the exception of
q few tense moments in the ninth, it
was a farce
The Washingtons really only played
three innings of ball They out-hit
the Redlegs despite walking to the
plate for six consecutive innings with
out making a safe blow. When it did
get around to swinging its bats again,
Bucky Harris kid team found that
i've good, solid blows and a base on
balls still couldn't win, although the
winning run was on base when Jake
Powell finally ended the game by
popping up with the bases loaded.
The defeat was the second in row
for the Nationals, who bowed last
Thursday to the Baltimore Orioles to
sustain their first reversal after four
consecutive triumps.
