The old mark of 13 feet, seven and three- quarters inches was set by Tommy Warne of Northwestern in 1929. After first assuring himself of first place with a vault of 13 feet, 8 and flve-elghths inches, Padway missed twice at the 14 feet, five-eighths inch mark fore going orer. Almost at the same time, Smith of Wisconsin equaled claimed world mark for the yard high hurdles by tsklng that event in 7.4 seconds.

Aloysius Ilarry Simmons hat ted in 9 5 markers, so Griffith got Into a row with the veteran outfielder over a bonus he had earned and let him go to the Boston Rees for the price of an obscure minor leaguer. The strangest thing about those two deals is that Bonura and Simmons are long-distance rlghthand hitters, and the Nats are painfully top-heavy with left- hand hitters. After naming Joseph Krakauskas. Ken Chase, and Emil Leonard, among the pitchers, you begin to scrape.

TH PAWS SHOW WAY ON MOUND STAFF Krakauskas and Chase are handers, the former big. strong, and fast. Krakauskas lacked control last term. Chase, a good- sirtHl chap. should be a good pitcher.

Dutch Leonard staged a comeback in 1938 with the aid of a newly-developed knuckle ball ranked third in effectiveness among American League fllngers who tolled 200 innings or more. After Krakauskas, Chase, and Leonard, you drop Into Jamea Brooklyn DeShong.

New pitchers who have a chance are Joseph Haynes, Newton Jacobs, Arnold Anderson, and Kirby Hayes. All were with Charlotte in 1938, Haynes winning 18, Jacobs 21, Anderson 12, and Hayes, a southpaw, six.

INTERPRETER NEEDED IN SENATOR CAMP There are so many Cubans in camp that you have to speak Spanish to obtain any Information. Among them are Rene Monteagudo, Roberto Ortls, and Roberto Estalella. Monteagudo is the little hander who broke even In two American League starts last fall after copping 19 contests for Trenton. Ortls Is a six-footer with tremendous speed, but knows absolutely nothing about pitching. Estalella is to launch the campaign in left field.

Jake Early appears competent enough to assist the 2-year-old Rick Ferrell provided he can hit. but the bid for Joe Glenn, now of the St. Louis Browns, indicates Griffith and his old boy manager. Stanley Raymond Harris. are not exactly aatisfled with their catching.

The all-left-hand-hltting infield Its perfectly okeh defensively and I three of its members. Buddy Myer, Cecil Travis, and Buddy Lewis, are sufficiently potent offensively. But it looks as though Jimmy Wasdell. a fancy Dan around first base, never will be a menace to American League fences. Plucky Charley Gelbert, who worked his way back to the majors despite the handicap of the leg shattered in his frightful hunting accident of 1932, is doing so well at shortstop that Travis can be switched to first base in the event that Wasdell turns out to be an AU-America out.

BLITBGE CONTINUES TO AMAZE EVERYONE The performances of the 38- year-old Oswald Bluege, starting his 18th campaign with the Senators, are the talk of the camp. Old Ossie gives the outfit a back- er-np at all infield posts. The outfield is composed of Estalella in left, the ancient and honorable Samuel West in center, and George W. Case, in right. Estalella cowhides minor league pitching, but they say he doesn't like the high hard one inside.

Sam West is still a motor cop of the outfield, and seldom fails to hit better thsn .300. George Case probably is the fastest man in the game. Taft WTright is a whale of a left- hand hitter, but a dash of Babe Herman every time he goes after a fly. Douglas Dean, another left- hand swatter, batted .384 for Greenville..
