Bat Drills Begun
By Mats 10 Tune
Catcher Evans
First-String Job His
If He Shows Real
Worth at Plate
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 24.-The
drudgery of the Nationals training
camp routine was to be broken today
as Clark Griffith's squad of assorted
rockies and veterans was to bat for
the first time.
Tinker Field resplendent with i'm
provements, was to resound to the
crack of bats because Manager
Bucky Harris is anxious to have his
pitchers get few raps and to learn
the art of bunting before the
regulars report on March l.
Only a few of the pitchers are
anywhere near ready to pitch plate
ward for any length of time but
Harris already has chosen some OF
the impossible" for early slab duty.
Bucky won't risk injuring the arms
of any of his more polished and
older pitchers but there is perhaps
half dozen youngsters who won't
be hurt and who, by the same token,
won't be missed if they come up
with early arm troubles.
Anxious to See Evans.
One of the reasons why Harris is
so anxious to start batting practice
is to watch Catcher AL Evans at the
plate. Like President Grifflth, the
Mats pilot is willing to give Evans
first crack at the regular catching
job but Al, If he is to get the post,
must hit. Rick Ferrell is a smoother
receiver than Evans but if the
VA from Knp1yy
come close to his 1854 average of last
year, he is certain to be the No. /
mask man
The arrival of Infielder Jimmy
Potahl may have been another
reason for Buckys' readiness to start
batting
Pofahl wasn't due until March
but the young shortstop, who was a
disappointment last year, turned up
last Saturday and yesterday he vol
unfairly took his first work out.
Pofahl, apparently, isn't going to
concede the shortstop berth to Cecil
Travis. who is due to start accord
ing to present plans.
Pofahl, Evans, Jake Early, Dick
Hahn and one or two others are
itching for batting practice. In ad-
dition to these, Harris wants to give
the pitchers on hand a crack at
hitting because. after the regulars
arrive, there will be a traffic jam at
the plate.
Leonard, Hudson Work Out.
The first workout of Sid Hudson
attracted attention, and a small
crowd of Orlandoans yesterday. Sid,
pacing himself like an old veteran,
put himself on exhibition, and moth
ing else He put on uniform, in
dulged in a little pepper practice,
ran around the park, and called it a
day.
Dutch Leonard, who had been dis
satisfied with terms. turned up just
in time to miss the regular morning
workout. The knuckle- e-baller, how
ever, wasn't so easily satisfied. He
climbed into cab. took Coach Clyde
Milan in tow, and staged a private
workout in the afternoon.
1--WE got to get ready this year"
he said. Il mean, I really want to
be in shape"
Dutch, sounded as if he had memo
rized a speech prepared for him by
Griffith, who claims that Leonard's
comparatively disappointing season
last year was due to his failure to
train as hard as he had the year
before.

Census Expert Sees
Renewd Flow From
Farms 10 Cities
Defense Industries Druw
Heavily on Rurul
Population, He Says
By the Associated Press.

by lnf HSSOC.dltu FIcso
CHICAGO. March City jobs
are starting to beckon again TO the
boys on the farms.
DR.. Samuel A. Stauffer, census
analyst. said today that defense
industries already were beginning
to draw on the rural population and
that the farm -to-city movement
may become food in year or
two"
If the war emergency continues
long enough" he added, the result
of the movement may produce
profound change in the pattern of
American population
A slow but steady farm-to-city
drift for many years had been the
natural result of the higher rural
birth rate. When city jobs declined
during the depression, however. the
trend was retarded and even re-
versed. temporarily.
Movement Is Accelerated.
DR.. Stauffer now expects the
normal movement to be greatly
accelerated because of what he says
is a strong demand in industry for
boys who know how to use a
monkey wrench-boys from the
farms and small towns"
Two Sociological Changes.
DR.. Stouffer, consultant to the
Census Bureau and professor of
statistics at the University of Chi
cago, foresees two other possible
sociological changes as result OF
the defense program:
Transient prosperity attending
the employment increase will cause
a temporary rise in marriages and
births.
The long term effect of the farm
to-city shift will be a slowing down
of the total population growth.
Unless we raise a huge army
the marriage rate is likely to con-
tinue high DR.. Stouffer said, land
the temporary increase in the birth
rate may deceive some people into
thinking that the much discussed
decline in American fertility has
been arrested. In the long run,
such an Interpretation would prove
to be an illusion because the people
transferring from the farms to the
cities will not have as many chill
dren as they would have had if they
remained on the farm"
