While at Tampa, prior to the opening of the season, the “Rig Train” encountered plenty of dif ficulties. In the first place, some of his important players were holdouts, and. in the second place there was enough illness and in juries to keep a country doetur fairly busy. Sad Sam Jones and Goose Goslin were two of the prominent holdouts. For a time it looked as if Sad Snm wouldn't sign at ail. Jones wanted more money than Clark Griffith thought he could pay. Griffith told the twirler that, if the Senators had a good financial season he’d give him the extra dollar bills at the close of the year, but Jones re fused to gamble. Manager John son finally talked the Sad One into signing his contract. Goslin als signed and that relieved some of y; al te r'a worries. . Hurley Boss, Joe Judge’s under study, reported at tho Smoke Town training grounds with a hand cut in an auto accident, and -tie was still suffering from the cf ! t'ects of an attack of flu. This i kid had shown a lot of promise | ns last season waned, but he was 1 sent home to report back in a , month or two after he had fully recovered. Catcher Cliff Bolton was sixteen days late in getting into ramp and reported that lie had picked up a ease of flu on the way down. Ed. Kcnna, another backstop, was out at Tampa with iun injured thumb. Plenty of trouble, but when the Senators I pulled stakes from Tampa they were still confident of causing some upsets in the A. I„ campaign this Summer. Johnson has some recruits who look* especially promising. This fellow Bolton is only 20 years old, hut he burned ’em up at High Point in the Piedmont League during last year. In ninety-two games he hit for .403, and almost half of his hingles were for extra bases. If he can do anything like I this in fast company, he’ll be a ' season’s sensation. I The rookie infielders who are I likely to he seen w ith Washington ! all Summer include Stuffy Stew I art, Mintcr Hayes and Charley fGooeh. Stewart, who was with | Washington before, is noted as one of the speediest men in base ball. Lust year, in the Southern League he pilfered 56 bases. Hayes, a youngster who was with Washington early in 1928 and who was farmed out with Minneapolis, where he batted .332 in 57 games, looks sure of staying. He origi nally played with the University of Alabama. Gooch, who has been helping out over at the initial cor ner, is a veteran minor leaguer who will probably bo kept on the payroll by Johnson. Charley hit .357 with Little Lock last year. In the games played in the grape 1 fruit belt Gooch seemed to pos ' sess the stuff of which great slug gers are made. He is primarily a i third-sacker, but he shifted over across the field and Handled the job well. While the Senators have Myer at the hot comer and Judge at first. Johnson needs hitting of the Gooch brand in the Washing ton lineup. Johnson plans to stand pat on his outfield combination of llosiin, Kico. Barnes and West, although Spencer Harris, of Minneapolis, will likolv be carried along. The “6ig Train” is not making any loud predictions, but he’s anx ious to make good and the fans will be pulling for him to do it. I Here’s News For You, Lindy Really Goes To Ride On Train Now York.—Colonel Charles A Lindbergh broke a rule of travel conduct to which he has held steadfastly since his Might from San Diego to New York and then to Paris in May. 1927, when he went aboard the North Shore Limited at the Grand Central Terminal that bore the body of Ambassador Her rick to Cleveland. Although lie has traveled more than a hundred thousand miles since his flight to Paris, this is the first time that he lias used a train. For the most part he has gone by plane. 'For short distances he has used automobiles. An attempt to compute his actual mileage without being able to refer to the exact log that the flier him self keeps is out of the question. However, his flight from San Diego to Pans amounted to nearly ti.OiK) miles. Alter his return to 'this country lie flew about 30.000 miles lor the Guggenheim Fund on his i national tour, during w hich he j visited eighty cities and every state. Then he crossed and reerOssed the country several times and added perhaps 20.000 more miles on his goodwill tour through Central America. A year ago he became 'technical adviser to the Transcon tinental Air Transport and since I thc.n he has commuted by ait back ■and forth across Mir United States between Los Angeles, San Diego, Washington and New York, with j occasional side trips in,o Mexico, land a second flight over Central 1 America to Cristobal. | Even before his Might to Paris and before his air mail and army days, when he was barnstorming [with his wartime “Jenny." Lind jbergh did little train riding. If liis own plane was out of commission ; he used a motorcycle or rode as a passenger in the planes of others. | Since lie became identified with! the Guggenheim Fund he has ad-1 h.ered to the doctrine he has preach ed- that the airplane is the best! method for travel. CONVICT HALTS ESCAPE OE li; GETS TIME ITT Raleigh—'Because Dee Colvin,j Graham county white man, hasj three times prevented the escape of other prisoners, his sentence in state prison of 7 to 111 years for manslaughter was reduced by Gov ernor Gardner to three to five i years. j Clemency was recommended by i N.

Cat’s Burnt Paw In Legal Mix-Up In a village near Canton four small Chinese tradesmen clubbed together to buy cotton. To protect the cotton from rats a cat was pro cured, it being agreed that earh tradesman owned one ot the cat's legs. Soon afterward the cat injur ed one of its paws, and the owner of that particular paw bandaged it and soaked the bandage in oil. But the unlucky cat went too near the fire and the bandage ignited. Tire terrified animal rushed among the bales of cotton, which caught fire and were destroyed. The three owners of the cat's un injured legs thereupon sued their partners for damages. The judge's derision was as follows: "Since the eat was unable to use the Injured leg. tire cotton was set on fire by the action of the three uninjured legs on which the cat ran among the bales of cotton. Conse quently these three legs were guilty,and their owners must pay damages and costs." SISTER ABOl'T TO MOVE MAN TRIES sriCIDE Lutnberton. — Discouraged be cause Iris sister.
