Guard TO Camp
At Flag As Usual

Arizona national guard will en-
camp at Fort Tuthill, Flagstaff,
this summer as usual, according to
reports given out early this week
at Phoenix, putting an end to pre-
vious report that the entire 45th
division would gather for maneuv-
crs this summer at Fort Sill, Okla.
Dates for the encampment are
August Is to 20.
Last summer while officers and
men were gathered at Flagstaff
there was considerable talk about
concentrating at Fort Sill next sum-
mer, all Arizona, Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Colorado guardsmen
on the ground that bringing entire
divisions together gives better op-
portunity for mock war maneuvers
and is encouraged by military au-
thorities.

Improving Behind Bat.
A THE time Cliff wasn't hitting
\ his weight. Neither was Buddy
Myer nor Jake Powell for that matter,
but nothing was said about them.
They had no stigma of being weak
link, though, and Bolton had. ANY,
way, from then on Bolton has been
pretty close to being the best hitter
on the club and, better yet, he has
done a job behind the plate that has
measured up to any catcher's
standard.
The Nationals were playing Detroit
at Lakeland, Fla, when the fuss and
furore over catching broke and drifted,
via the devious channels of base ball,
to the ears of the ball players. That
day Bolton made three hits in three
times at bat and he's been pretty tough
to stop, since, yesterdays double-play
notwithstanding.
The American League campaign
hasn't been under way long enough
to furnish much Of a line on Bolton, SO
in fairness to the guy let's look back to
the day in Lakeland. That was three
championship games and 13 exhibi-
ton contests ago. 1t involved Cliff
going to bat 54 times and during
these appearances Bolton managed to
bang out 20 assorted base hits for a
.37O batting average, Included in
his offensive efforts was the scoring
Of 13 runs and the batting across
of 13 more,

Cliff hasn't received any too many
plaudits during the stretch he has
been serving as National. He came
up to the Washington club with a
reputation as good hitter and ter
rible catcher. The batting part of it
he justified, but while he never has
given any indication of blossoming
into another Muddy Ruel behind the
bat, neither has he been the worst
backstop in the world.
Somehow, though, the stigma clung
