WASHINGTON AND BALL PLAYERS.
They Think the National Capital n
Very Desirable Place to be Located In

They Think the National CnDitnl n
Very Desirable Place to BE Located In
1t was not SO long ago that league base
ball players were averse to signing con-
tracts to play in Washington. Now things
are different. The best Of them want to
come here. because. they say, Washington
players are treated well by both manage
ment and public. As an evidence of this
fact. 1t may be mentioned that the recent
effort to secure "Mugsy" McGraw from Bal
timore was made because overtures first
came from that aggressive little player He
said he would like to play in Washington,
1t was chance worth taking. and Mana1er
Schmelz made Hanlon an offer. Doyle
Dahlen, McCreery and other Cracker
jacks have ut various times expressed a
wish to become Senator'S and now that
Charley Farrell has returned to the fold. no
one need be surprised If Jouett Meekin
would like to follow suit.
To Plug the Hole at Third.
1t was intended. when the New York deal
was made. to play Farrell on third tenn
porarily. A flrst-class third baseman, how
ever. Is a very difficult article to buy or
II ade for. and 1t may be that the Duke will
cover third bag Nntil Mr.. Wagner can de-
velop minor league player. He has sew
eral in view. In case he does get a successor
to Joyce. 1t might be well worth while to
transfer Farrell to first base. Cartwrisht
has no superior as a fielding first baseman.
but he is woefully weak at the bat. 1t was
hoped all along that he would improve In
his stick work. but 1t must be admitted that
ought to. 1t Is still within the bounds Of
possibility to secure McCreery from LOUIS
vile. He undoubtedly would strengthen the
senatorial batting list.
