What MIR. Cahi1l said Is quite
true for two former members Of
his various dramatic groups are

matte training is no assurance
for the possibility Of becoming an
announcer. AnnOuncers need not

Must Build Confidence,

THIS being early in the training
- season, it was no great discredit
to Newsom that he finally was forced
TO stop for breath. He isn't in mid
season voice yet.
"The whole problem" he drove
home, "is in getting of to good start
and building up the confidence of
those kids. We oughtta have color,
enthusiasm and fight"
II the season were to open tomor-
row Newsom would have to be named
to pitch, but the big boy isn't in top
shape yet. He reported to Tinker
Field today weighing 20s pounds
stripped and he admittedly must work
down to 1913 to get best results. He
should do it, too. Buck has that trait
Of enthusiasm and willingness that
Harris probably would rather have in
such players as Cecil Travis, Clif Boil
ton and Johnny Stone than another
10 points on each Of their batting
averages.
And, by the way, Newsom also ended
any conjectures as to who will pitch
the opening game against the Yankees
On April IA. In fact he also named
himself as the starting pitcher when
the grapefruit league" season is
opened here March II against the
Red sox. Now all he must do is get
Harris to agree with him.

back and fire his fast one. But when
the team came back from a Western
trip Coppola showed Bucky Harris a
new-found curve and asked for action
Gets Another Chance.
RUCKY gave him another chance
His fast ball was joke, but with
the curve he eked out a 5-to-4 VIC
tory over the Athletics just before the
season closed.
He can't stick, however, if his arm
can't propel the old zip ball. Henry
has curve now, but he is no Yves
Ferrell for control and pitching brains
He must have his speed and those who
know the kid might we'll choke down
a lump in their throats when he
finally rounds into shape for a real
test.
THE soreness is gone" Coppola says.
my arm really feels as good as ever.
Gee. it's gotta BE as good"
Maybe that's what Harris and Clark
Griffith are thinking, too-it's gotta be
good. Coppola with his fast ball can't
miss a place on the pitching staff
He promises to be a winner and, at 81
years. he fits the rebuilding-o youth

tract. And the singular part of it is
that when he and Clark Griffith
stage their salary tete-a-tete in Griff's
hotel room, there will be widespread
sympathy among the Nationals for
Buddy's cause.
Mr.. Myer, first and foremost, is an
albright guy, but so are a lot of
other fellows on this ball club. The
real reason seems to be q general
belief that If Charles Solomon
doesn't get his dough this year he
never will get it. In other words, I
doubt If there Is q single Washington
ball player who thinks Myer ever
will win a batting championship
again.

his point. Darn if I see why I have
to argue" said Buddy. II should think
all I have to do to get a raise is show
Grif my record last year. If that
doesn't entitle me to more money then
I think I had better 60 out and get in
some other business where you are
paid as you improve"
Griffith did not seem particularly
anxious for the verbal duel with Myer
last night, either. Earlier he had
thinned out the ranks of his unsigned
players by getting Pitcher Jack Rus
sells name on the dotted line. Now
only Myer, Johnny Stone and Earl
Whitehill are out Of the fold.
Swelling the squad today, in addi-
tion to Russell and Buck Newsom,
were a couple catchers, Bill Starr and
Sam Holbrook. Their arrival here
means that only Ossie Bluege, veteran
utility inflelder; Shortstop Red Kress
and Outfelders Jesse Hill, Johnny
Stone and Carl Reynolds have yet to
report to Orlando. They are to ar
rive Wednesday.
Bucky Harris gave the boys a holi-
day yesterday, but some Of them
wouldn't take it. NeWsom, for one,
insisted on going out to Tinker Field
and throwing some to Harry Oates,
his South Carolina neighbor, and a
pitching and catching candidate. The
rest who worked out were rockies.

only five hits in the process. It was
sweet vindication for Harris, who only
a short time before had shipped away
the veteran Monte Weaver and kept
Coppola when it was necessary to
prune down to the major league play
er limit.
1t looked as though Coppola was on
his way up the ladder. Then, in a
manner mysterious, his arm went sore.
He rested and consulted specialists.
Trainer Mike Martin worked over him.
There was an operation for tonsils and
visits to the dentist. Still it was no go.
Base ball was Coppola's life. He
wouldn't quit. When the team was
on the road he worked out at Griffith
Stadium by throwing a ball against
the concrete barriers that protect the
box-seat patrons in right field from
Roberto Estalella's throws from third
base. Henry's fine, blazing fast ball
was gone. There was no hop to it.
But the youngster, now only 81 years
old, figured that, while he couldn't
regain it by practicing, he at least
could work on curve.
Coppola always lacked curve be-
cause all he ever had to do was rear

clined to believe that Buddy's for
saking of cigars helped to do the
trick. Some people say it was be-
cause Buddy was smarter, but he
couldn't have played ball for 10 pre-
vious years without picking up some
knowledge gradually.
None of the explanations why he
made 2l5 hits during 1885 is any
more convincing than that of most
ball players. "His hits just started
falling safe for him" is the diamond
mans theory and it is good enough.
But Buddy never can know when his
hits will stop falling safe and so the
gentleman's friends and teammates
are hoping that he gets his $4,000
contract.
