7 AkELAND, Fla, March 23-
Two left-handed pitching
rockies, sgd Cohen and Dick
- I.anahan, were to divide the
pitching assignment today when the
Nationals meet the Tigers in the first
game Of a home -and-home series.
Manager Bucky Harris choice of
Cohen as star may be significant.
At any rate, Sgd was most impressive
in last weeks losing battle with the
Giants and Bucky made no secret of
the kick he got out Of it.
Shanty Hogan, who used to throw
side arm when he weighed 280 pounds,
is throwing from behind his head now
and base runners had better beware
Two of the speediest of the Red Sox
players, Colonel Mills and Bobby Doerr
tried to steal on Hogan in the first
and second innings, respectively, and
both went away.
HITTING pitchers are not rare on
the Washington club. Day be-
fore yesterday Jack Salveson slammed
a homer with the bases loaded against
the Phillies. Yesterday Pete Appleton
cooked triple to score two runs in a
Al victory over the Red Sox.
Joe Cronin thinks he may have to
play shortstop again i. and Boston
scribes are afraid so. Eric McNair has
not been able to recover from the
shock Of his wife's death last Winter
and Cronin is benching him and
playing Rookie Bobby Doerr at second
base, while Joe shifts from that bag.
Cronin says that second base is
soft"
You can sit in rocking chair and
play there" he added. Boston news
paper men say that even If McNair
were playing short Cronin would have
to use the sensational Doerr and use
that rocking chair in the dugout.
CECIL TRAVIS turned in the best
fielding play flashed by Nat SO
far this season when he wiped out
Johnny Kroner in the third inning.
Kroner's smash tipped by Lewis at
third but Cecil snagged it with his
bare hand and whipped long throw
to Kuhel to beat Johnny by a gnat's
eyelash.
Cleanup Hitter Fred Sington had
his troubles with the young Red Sox
pitchers. The big fellow famed twice,
flied out and hit into double play.
John PEACOCK, the catcher who
was declared free agent last
Winter by Judge Lands, made no
great impression yesterday on the
Mats, which was just as we'll. 1t may
be recalled that Bucky Harris made
quite an effort at the Montreal minor
league meeting to land Peacock after
Lands cut him loose from Cincinnati,
but the Red Sox bobbed up with an
offer of $4,000 to sign, and that was
that.
The general impression in the
Washington camp was that they would
rather have Walter Miles than Pea
cock any day. Walter is one guy who
really is improving.

disclosed Harris. IF he feels good and
gets his fast ball back, 1 couldn't make

That's definite. Some how I'm getting
my fast ball away with less effort than

my best year"
That was all but it was a big
speech for Monte Morton, one-time
flgger f1lbert at the University OF
Virginia. For some seasons they have
been Suspecting him of being COM
pick guy as far as his health is
concerned. Now he admits he's okay
and that seems to be all that's needed.
Play Tigers Today.
THE Nationals as group, also are
well satisfied with themselves.
That was their third straight victory
yesterday over Yawkeys Gold Sox
and with Dick Lanahan and Syd
Cohen on the mound today, they
were in hopes of adding Detroit to the
list of victims which now includes the
Cardinals, Phillies and Bostons.
Pete Appleton opened for the Mats
and went five innings without getting
into trouble. During that term he
gave up only three scattered hits and
pitched to only II batters. In the
meantime he and his supporting cast
helped themselves to a 3-to-0 lead.
With Rookie Archie McKain pitch
ing, Washington took the lead in the
third inning, when Buddy Lewis
singled with two out and Joe Kuhel
sent him to third with another hit
With Fred Sington at bat, Buddy and
Joe pulled a double steal that worked
so well that Lewis did not even draw
a return throw from second base as
he crossed the plate.
Appleton Slab, Batting Hero.
A PPLETON was a hitting as we'll
as pitching hero in the fourth
frame when he tripled with two out
against Jack Wilson and sent Johnny
Mihalic and Shanty Hogan scamper-
ing across the plate. This, of course,
made 1t 80.
The Bostons got their only run off
Weaver in the seventh, when Fabian
Gaffke dropped double in right field,
moved to third on Rookie Dalless
Andros infleld out, and scored when
Bobby Doerr fouled out to Johnny
Stone.
When Rookie Emerson Dickman
worked the Washington seventh, the
Mats got that back on Chapman's
single and walks to Lewis, Kuhel and
Stone
