For one thing, it can be accepted
as a fact that every one recon-

where on land, before the war Is

They probably will be heard of as
leading landing parties in enemy
territory and 1t may be said that
the tendency of naval officers is to
look upon these instructors as one
of the better type of operators for
fire control during sea engagements
because OF their perfect co-ordina-
ton.
Those men who have been taken
into Tunney's department have had
to meet the Nays high physical
requirements and no waivers con-
cerning type of service have been
granted. Which means that when
the time comes they will not be far
from the front, If not at the very

Northey was credited with a home

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 7.-One Of
the favorite scribbling topics Of the
moment concerns the possibility Of
gusty, air-conditioned Buck New
som becoming the Mats No. l
pitcher at the expense of phleg-
matte Dutch Leonard or slim,
silent Sid Hudson. Breezy Buck is
receiving notice the task may be
tough. Newsom is quite a pitcher
when he wants to be and it appears
he has ideas of inheriting WASH
ington's mythical top twirling spot.
His is a nature that feeds on ego
and he's at his best when he's
operating under pressure to achieve
his goal.
The chesty Mr.. Newsom, Leonard
and Hudson may wage a nifty
battle-an intra-club scrap that
augurs well for the Mats If Man
ager Bucky Harris is cautious to
keep the fight from leading to open
friction. Hudson represents no
fight to intra-club conditions be-
cause he'll do his finest under any
circumstances but that Leonard
Newsom proposition is loaded with
dynamite.
Leonard possibly may be forgiven
for resenting Newsom's loud and
frequently annoying attitude. Leon
ard won 18 games last year while
Newsom won II. but Bucks salary
Is more sizable than Dutch's. New
som is more colorful-easier to
write about-and he doesn't mind
expressing his feelings on any given
subject.
Buck Liberal With Coin.
Dutch is a totally contrasting
type. Clubhouse boys say he'll send
them on errands and mutter
thanks" Newsom has been known
to tip a clubhouse boy IS merely
for tying his shoelaces. Buck ex-
udes confidence before game and
offers excuses later while Leonard
is careful to reveal to any reporter
within earshot before a game that
what he had for lunch didn't agree
with him.
Leonard particularly was solicit
GUS in pointing out to reporters
that what he ate for lunch yester-
day failed to dwell well with his
indigestive system. Dutch thus was
informing them that If his pitch
ing wasn't too terrific their stories
might start, pitching despite an
upset stomach, etc"
Dutch is o gifted alibi artist. Two
years ago, toward the end of the
season Leonard circulated the story
that he had lost II games by .
margin of one run.
Actually it was eight, but nobody
bothered to check and he may have
avoided a more drastic salary slice.
Last year, too, Dutch limited that
Jake Early's promotion to the reg
ular catching berth, after Rick Fer
rell was traded, might be hamper
ing his style. 1t happened that
Dutch was in the midst Of q losing
streak at the time.
There Is nothing particularly
noble about Newsom or Leonard
but it hasn't affected their pitching
They are careful to protect them
selves verbally and usually do very
we'll on the mound. They resent
each others presence, although IL
isn't admitted, and that may react
to the Mats favor If Harris can en-
ploy 1t as prod for improved
pitching.
