take another look at their
ticket stubs when they watch the
Philadelphia National Leaguers in &C
ton this year.
The Phillies, for years q boon to the
lumber business as they battered down
National League fences a mile from
home plate, have gone in so strong for
pitching that they threaten to become
"hitless wonderS"-hard as it Is to be-
lieve. Sluggers are about as rare as a
bellhop who refuses a tip.
Manager Jimmy Wilson, a man who
admits he's little fed up with team
of sluggers that loses games by foot
ball scores, won't have more than one
or two sure 800 hitters on the team,
but he's so excited about his pitchers
that he thinks his 1885 model Philly
machine Is capable Of landing in the
upper strata of the second division at
least.
Well have a great pitching staff.

base ball over the plate" said the
happy Jimmy, "and that's the biggest
part Of the battle.

If the Americans were not popular
in the Winter Olympics while losing.
you get one guess as to how popular
they will be at the track and field
show while mopping up.
Mickey Cochrane not only has a
strong pitching staff, but this pitching
staff happens to be throwing in the
general direction of Mickey Cochrane.
Not SO many realize what a Cochrane
means back of the bat, as far as smart
pitching is concerned.
WHY leave Hal Trosky out of that
home run argument?" growls a
Cleveland fan.
Hal let himself out last season.
The star of all the slugging debut
tantes in 1884 may report back for
1896. but that part Of it belongs to
Trosky.
There may be colder -blooded pitch
ers in pinch than Wes Ferrell of the

I TNTIL he learns more of the Eng

necessarily must be relegated to the
background in drills of this sort, but
Harris at least had the satisfaction of
watching EStalella carefully noting all
that went on. At the conclusion the
little Cuban, with the few words at
his disposal, stalked Bucky and asked
questions difficult enough to make the
skipper think twice. He'll pick up
valuable tips, too," concluded Harris.
'He watches everything and, like a
little monkey, he'll initiate Lewis and
Bluege."
Cliff Bolton, Sam Holbrook and Bill
Starr, rivals all for the No. l catch
ing job, furnish daily examples of
what kind of a spirit has pervaded
this training camp. They dine to-
eether to begin with, huddling in a
corner and discussing the art of back
stopping. Early this week Harris went
into huddle with Bolton on the sub
ject of a new set of catching signs.
Bucky blamed the loss of at least six
games last year directly to stolen sig
mails, and he sought solution. When
the confab was ended and new set
of signs tentatively drawn up, Bolton
voluntarily called aside Holbrook and
the pair retired to a room and prac-
ticed flashing the signals.

VETS EVER READY

Entire Club PIungeS Into
Fundamental Drill With
Great Spirit.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
StafT Correspondent Of The Star.

~ RLANDO, Fla, March IL
Washington's 1886 base ball
entry may never achieve
~ greatness, but if the Ma
tionals miss this distinction it will not
be because of that prime essential
teamwork.
This thought is being driven home
with bang these days as fundamental
training is ending and Manager Bucky
Harris begins to polish what probably
will be the youngest Capital team of
modern time.
Utterly free from at least outward
signs of dissatisfaction and grumbling,
this Washington squad stands out as
a harmonious band in the minds of
Harris and President Clark Griffith,
who could go back long way to strike
comparisons. But so many and varied
have been voluntary expressions Of
helpfulnesS among the players them
selves that both bosses are willing to
rate the current squad as the superior,
in this respect, even to such flag
winning combinations as those in
1924, 1925 and 1888.
Bucky received his first wholesale
taste of the teamwork possibilities of
the squad yesterday when he finally
held his dress rehearsal" The gang
took to it like ducks to water. Harris
stood at home plate with fungoe bat
and soaked base hits to an outfleld
composed of Jesse Hill in left, Jake
Powell and Carl Reynolds in center
and Johnny Stone and Dee Miles in
right They scampered after the
drives as though a world series de-
pended on the plays.

General, will arrive in Mayaquez, Puerto
Rico, to lay the cornerstone of Federal
post office building for that city, before the
close of March.
Mr.. Purdum visited St. Croix in 1890
when he was post Office inspector, and we
should be glad to have him extend his COM
ing visit to Virgin Islands, including St.
Croix, if practicable.
The Federal Government is erecting a
building to house the post office at t.

could also be given to similar action in our
own island.

EDITORIAL

The question of Sunday closing must
not be viewed from the shopkeeper's point
of view. A shopkeeper may choose to keep
his doors open twelve hours Or more every
day of the week The same as the keeper
of gambling house would like to be free
to conduct his business without interior
ence Everybody would feel that if his
activities were entirely unrestricted he
would be free and happy citizen in a
free country.
The question should be viewed from the
angle of social order. The people of New
York earn money in every imaginary
way, some receive their pay every month,
others every week, others again every day.
Others get money only when they get
work. then there are those who
get b eirs from chari t a.
bic sources and there are unfortunately
those who hold up others and rob their
money. There is no fixed time and man.
ner in which these millions of people re-
ceive their earnings. They all know, how
ever, that Sunday is day when
business makes pause and the people
take a recreation.
The people of St. Thomas and the peo-
pie of San Juan, Puerto make this same
pause every Sunday. Jewish establish
ments close during the day on Saturday
because Saturday is their day of worship
and, in obedience to law and in conformi-
ty with well recognized form of social
order they keep their business places
closed on Sunday.
If employers knew that shops would be
81 osed on Su n d ay h
would not have their servants
making purchases on Sunday that could
be made on Saturday. During the Danish
regime shops were permitted to open un-
til nine o'clock in the morning but if the
doors were not closed when the town
clock struck nine the police were there
to see the law obeyed. During the past
few years social order in the community
has broken down. If we continue to de-
generate our conditions would become
hopeless and our social and moral con-
