GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND
Doyle'S Desire to Play With a
"Big" Baseball Team.
TUCKER MAY GUARD FIRST
IL Jack Does Not Don the Blue, Says
Earl Wagner, He VIII Not Play
at Au-The Opening of the Sea-
son i'm This City-Two Popular
Moves Made by the Magnaies.

| The announcement of the possibility of
Tommy Tucker playing first base for the
| Senator's brought about by the assertion
of Jack Doyle that be would play with a
big team the coming season. or not
| at ALL was no doubt good news to the
fans all over the circuit. as general regret
was expressed that such a valuable man
as Tucker was to be relegated to the
ranks of n minor league.
The baseball public in this city, of
course, hoped that Doyle would fall into
| line and play the great game at
| first base. OF which. he is capable for
the Washington team. But while all
have acknowledged the scrappy ex-Oriole
as a star in his line, they contend that
1uch,r, in all but one point. is his equal
the one thing i'm which Tommy is defl-
cient. as compared TO Jack, being base
running.
Ii would be Interesting to know what
Doyle's idea of a big team is I'm the
opinion Of a vast ma iority there is but
one big" team i'm the League at the
present time, and that is Boston. IT,
! however. Jack measures greatness by the
standard of the Baltimore Birds, it
might be mentioned i'm passing that the
Orioles We're not 50 big last season
| that they could not be measured, and
| that il fell to the lot of the meek and
| lowly Senators to take their measure at
a time when il meant not only the game,
but a fighting chance TO land the fourth
consecutive championship flag.
The coming season may, of course, de-
velop another big team. 1t must be
admitted n hat~the eyes of the fans here
are fixed~,nRwfrd toward the bunting
with a eadfastness that cannot be di-
verted. And whether they are to see the
Statesmen in the role of dark horse" or
not, they are hopeful that Washington
will not have occasion TO be ashamed of
the aggregation representing the Capital
City on the baseball diamond this year.
As for Doyle playing with any other
team but Washington Earl Wagner says
Jack misses his guess The Senatorial
magnate declares that if the Holyoke
boy does not don the blue of the States

tragedy:
I'VE started to walk to Sierra Leone,

met war boys, who blocked the way.
Rev. Mr.. Cain tried to frighten them
by firing a revolver over their heads;
but, seeing they were determined to do
mischief. he cast his revolver away
and said he would not have anybody's
blood on his hands. The war boys then
seized the party, including Misses Hat

stripped them of their clothing.
