Already there is much to show that this years
Washington team is better one in every re-
spect than last years. True, couple of last
years men were better than any on the new
club, but, taking the collective merits of the
latter, and judging by their batting, felding,
and base-rnnning, they o.v,ertop the League
team of last season considerably The few
games they have played against the Rochesters,
Williams. Browns, Lehghs, and the Hamiltons
have demonstrated their ability as reliable ball
players; and as Ted Sullivan remarked, the
entire lot, excepting Gleason, are young, am
bilious, and anxious to attain record among
the star players of the country. There is snap
and vim about their playing that brings up
memories of the st. Louis and the Cleveland
clubs. Thanks to the good work OF Capt.
Gleason, the men are getting in grand shape,
and learning all the "hy" ways that this excel
lent captain fell heir to while with the former
team.
