Johnny Introduces Himself.

SALVESON, of course, was signed
- from the moment the Washing
tons got him from Chicago in that
three-way trade last December. The
White Sox, you see. already had Sal
veson under contract. When the Ma
tionals got Salveson they also got
Salveson's contract.
Johnny, a shy youngster Of 23
walked into the mezZanine of the
hotel last night while Griff. Joe
Cronin and two newspaper men were
playing cards. Cronin looked at the
boy in a puzzled fashion and so did
Griff and the newspaper men. There
was something vaguely familiar about
him, but nobody could identify john
ny. so he merely stood, embarrassed,
and watched a hand played. Both
newspaper men and Griff had been
introduced to Salveson at the Winter
meeting, when he was procured, but
there was no sign OF recognition.
Finally, Salveson shyly edged up
to Griff and said: MY name is Salve-
son, Mr. Griffith" The ears of every
body were very red Grif had made
much ado over young Johnny when
he traded for him, but now, bare
two months later. he didn't even rec
ognize his new protege.

A LTHOUGH of the IA pitchers on
the AS roster are listed as hav-
ing been on the team last season, some
are difficult to remember, probably be-
cause they weren't in the game long
enough for the announcers to finish
introducing them. Kelley, of course,
is recalled, but George Turbeville, Lee
Ross, Gumpert, Stu F1ythe, Herman
Fink, Carl Doyle, Nation Bullock and
Fred Archer are remembered only
vaguely. Six of the pitchers were
signed as free agents and seven were
purchased. One, Kelley, was obtained
via the draft.
All except two are over 6 feet,
tall.
The catching staff, too, will be on
the young side. Frank Hayes, dean Of
the backstopping corps and likely to
do most Of the receiving, is only %.
One Of his assistants, william Conroy,
is 81.
The only other catcher to be
taken to Mexico City, Earle

Newsom Still Silent.

THE single fly in the pitching oint-
ment to date is the inimitable Mr.
Buck Newsom of Hartsville. S. c. Not
since Buck paid Griff a visit early in
the Winter has the Washington club
heard from him, officially, and now it
seems that NewSom isn't the only
person with a peeve on.
Il can't be worried about him. u
snapped Griff today, when somebody
asked as to Newsom. las I said be-
fore, I don't care whether he reports
or not. I've soured on him. Imagine
popping of like he did about the way
We treated him!"
Those attached to the Senators ir
non-oficial ways find that speculating
on Newsom is a sport enjoyed all
around and it is interesting to note
that a consensus predicts that Buck
won't wear Washington uniform al
all this season.
1t is believed that he will refuse
to report and that eventually Griffith
will trade him.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

~ RLANDO, Fla, February 23.--
1 Clark Griffith, who was q
hurler himself, is beginning
to believe more steadfastly
than ever that pitchers, after all. are
the most intelligent species Of ball
player. With a single exception,
everything seems to be coming along
fine among the Washington hurlers.
Griff today received telegram from
Pete Appleton stating that Pietro was
satisfied with the terms of his contract
and would report on schedule Mon
day, when the Senators training camp
will open. Late last night young
Johnny Salveson, the boy for whom
Earl Whitehill was traded, checked
into the hotel and announced himself
as ready for business.
Appleton apparently talked himself
into the terms of the contract that
Griff sent him. At first Pete baked,
despite the fact that his stipend was
boosted by 1000 potatoes. Grif1 ef-
fected no compromise throughout the
baking, so it must be scored as
victory for the Old Fox.

Scramble to Pick Winner.
THE interesting feature of this race
was the wild scramble among the
crowd to pick a winner in advance,
when there were 20 horses, with at
least 10 possible winners. Fairy Hill
came out here q sick horse. He had
started twice before and each time had
looked third class. His Santa Anita
showing was enough to drive most Of
the play in other directions.
But, after all, with two months Of
rain and heavy track, this has been
no season for the dope. Rosemont, for
example, looked like a selling platter
at his first start, and then came on to
win last Saturdays big race from the
pick of the 100000 field.
Fairy Hill was the best horse yes

of the lot in keeping his entry placed
exactly right for the final sprint. He
