Travis Getting Better.

1T THINK Kress' comeback was a
remarkable achievement" says
Harris. but I am forced to set him
in the background. Travis has amazed
me as shortstop, and he's getting
better every day. His promise. cou-
pied with his better speed and hitting
ability, must rate Travis first shot at
the job"
So when he goes out on Tinker
Field today. or maybe not until tomor-
row. Red Kress, six years older than
the 23-year -old Travis, will find HIM
self semi officially on the list as a
utility player. And never in his nine
seasons of campaigning in the Amer
lean League has Kress covered himself
with glory in the role of part-time
player. Seemingly, he must play every
day to remain in the big show.
A sensation when he broke in with
the Browns in 1927. Kress was only a
shadow of his former self when Wash
ington acquired him in 1884 for utility
purposes. He batted .232. Last year,
again cast in part-time roles and at a
variety of positions. he was batting
only lao when Clark Griffith called
him to his Office in nidseason and told
of his release" to Chattanooga.

for a real contending position today.
Sabo. Fordham University foot ball
tackle last year, was overlooked in the
early hysteria over Floyd Perryman,
another backstop recruit. but by dint
of solid hitting and the strongest arm
in the camp the husky youngster to-
day was cock-o'-the-W walk among re-
ceivers.

lage of yesterday. Manager Bucky
Harris. President Clark Griffith and
Coach Earl McNeely again went at the
task of polishing off rough spots in
Sabo's catching style. and it began to
appear Alec definitely has replaced
Perryman as possible third-string re-
ceiver.
Sam Holbrook, husky No. 2 back
stop, who is conceded a chance to
take Cliff Bottoms regular job, was sup
posed to have the spotlight as he par
ticipated in his first real workout of
the training season. but instead it was
Sabo. In hitting drill the Hungarian
youth. who always seemed to need a
shave, whacked vicious drives to all
parts of the outfield, while Perryman
and Bill Starr, his rivals for the third
string job, turned in only $3.50 per-
formances. In the infield drill Sabo cut
loose for the first time and whistled
the ball around the bases in manner
which instantly attracted attention.
Harris, Griff and McNelly, going
into a conference, kept Sabo on the
field after the rest of the squad was
taking showers. With McNeely on the
pitching mound and Sabo catching,
Harris and Grif tried to convey to
the youngster the necessity of shift
ing his weight for various pitches, and
it was long after the other Nationals
had dressed when Sabo was given the
all-f1nished signal.
RUDDY LEWIS really has yet to be
tested under major League fire, but
the promising young third sacker came
through in plenty of pinch yesterday
to help "sell'' himself to Bucky Harris.
Buddy and Bobby Estalella were
alternating In infield drill when Lewis,
taking a throw from Jimmy Cox at
second base. caught it carelessly and
received dislocated finger on his left
hand. Buddy, however. whipped the
