Before 1912 Grif wasn't much in
terested in the Nationals, probably be-
cause he wasn't connected with the
Washington club.
It was no accidental perfection that
has been achieved. Camel was the
first manager ever to set up training
camp in Florida and that was back
in 1908, when he brought the Gin
cinnati Reds to st. Augustine. He
knows his Florida and his training
camps. It was Camel also who stop
ped plucking oranges long enough last
Summer to talk Griff into vacating
Biloxi and moving into Orlando, and
so far there has been no cause for
regret, however acceptable the M1sslS-
sippi haven proved to Griff.
Great Flag Manager.
CANZEL probably has won as r1any
~ and different pennants as any
man in base ball. He started winning
championships as a manager when
he was only % years old and when
he quit base ball actively in 1918 1t was
as a winning manager. He prob
ably has more base ball in his little
finger than any athlete in camp, but
notwithstanding, he would have stuck
to oranges and golf had not the Mayor
of Orlando visited his home for q
bridge game one night and inspected
a root full of trophies.
'Who in the hi are you?" de-
manded the mayor. do you know
anything about base ball, because, If
you do, I've got q job for you?"
Camel, who kept his identity with
base ball q secret for five years, broke
down and confessed. The mayor
promptly made him the base ball
division" of the Orlando Chamber
of Commerce. The presence Of the
Nationals AMI Montreal and champion
soft ball teams representing this ham,
let have been some of the results.
Camel and Grih are no strangers.

win the American League pennant.
Developing into something of spade

stopped of here with Mrs. Cronin, the
former Mildred Robertson. and de-
clared that unless Simmons makes a
mighty difference to the Tigers, the
Red Sox will win"
"We've got the best ball club" said
Cronin. If we get the pitching I
expect the Red Sox ought to be in the
next world SERIES"
Joe, who left this afternoon for
Sarasota, where his Bostons will train,
is pretty certain that much of the Red
Sox hopes will depend on Fritz Oster-
muller, the brittle southpaW hurler.
Ostermuller, who underwent an appen-
dectomy operation in 1884 and suffered
a broken jaw and foot last season. is
needed to round out four man pitch
ing staff that will also include Wes
Ferrell, Johnny Marcum and Lefty
Grove. The last-named, according to
Cronin, still is just about the best
pitcher in the league.
Joe surprised every one by his ap-
pearance. A Winter of careful condi-
tioning has reduced his weight to 174
pounds.

I contented Washington ball
~ playing squad to invade a
training camp in years and when
cagey clubowner like Clark Griffith, a
meticulous manager like Bucky Harris
and bunch of grumpy, muscle fear
ing veterans all are joyous at one and
the same time there must be reason.
And there is. He is John Camel, a
sun-tanned, orange-growing native"
of Orlando who lived here incognito
for five years only to be unmasked and
drafted into putting this citrus center
on the map as training site.
There isn't man in base ball who
better realizes the importance Of an
up-to-date training base than Clark
Griffith. For IL years Bucky Harris,
as major league manager, has known
and demanded the best in Spring
training spots. There isn't ball
player of any experience who hasn't
known that soul-tearing feeling that
goes with stepping, full speed, into a
soft hole on Southern ball Held.
Making the Nationals "at home"
was the job put into the big and
capable hands of John Camel, and no
man could have received more sin
cere tribute than this transplanted
Floridian already has been given after
only a two-day workout on Tinker
Field.

THE viewpoint of the athlete nat

will not offer him social security when
he begins to slip. Some magnates pre-
fer the bonus system as a means of
compromise. but this is not in vogue
generally, The players themselves
like to "see it on the line" instead of
gambling for extra money.
Inducements of an extra curricular
nature have helped the st. Louis Car
dirals settle salary differences with
several stars. including Dizzy Dean.
Apparently it is not going to be so
easy this year, but the Cardinal front
Office last year persuaded Dean to
sign sl7,500 playing contract as part
of an agreement by which Dizzy was

ment later, after being traded to the
Cincinnati Reds, was due partially to
salary differences, but he is talking
now of a comeback.
The last real holdout was another
former outfield star of the Reds, Ed
Roush. After being traded back to
Cincinnati by the Giants. Roush
baked at all offers and stuck to his
Indiana farm. He was about at the
end of his big league career, anyway,

A'A not been able to look over his

the standout among the four Wash

to be Joe Sullivan.
Sullivan is a left-handed pitcher
who helped Eastern High School win
a couple of inter-high champion
ships. He is the only one of the Dis
trict sandlot brigade likely to be
given a chance to play in minor
