TOM HUGHES SIGNS
WITH WASHINGTON

Tom Hughes. the Washington pitcher
has signed for 1907, according 10 a letter
received this morning by president TOm
NOyes. Of the Washington baseball club
from Joe Canullon, the new manager.
The letter stated that Hughes mad
haggled a long time before appending
his signature, but that ali was peace
once more. Hughes quit the Washing
ton team last year and went 10 his
home in Chicago, saying ali sorts o.
harsh things about not receiving a fair
deal in Washington. He claimed that
he was Disseminated against and not
given a fair show when he fell IN hard
luck but MANY persons contended tIat
the real trouble was that Hughes lid
not keep In condition.
Hughes Is a hard man 10 handle, but
when in shapeis one NJ the best pitchers
on the Washington san. BE is foxy,
has speed and cury-s. and does not
become ratified, ana should be a big
help TO the team next season. From
present prospects the principal part Of
the pitching in the early part OF the
schedule will devolve on Hughes, Patten,
and Falkenberg. with Smith as Iall
back If the CleVelander develops as rap
idly this year as might be expected from
his showing last season.

CANTILLON'S HARD JOB

Absolutely Necessary For Him to Teach Washington

Spring baseball practice is now the

perhaps, in spring practice this season
than ever before In the history OF the

who will not hesitate 20 drive the men

Former Type Of Little Value.
The spring practice in the past two
years at Charlottesville, Va, was by
no means as profitable as II might ha e
been. In fact. beyond getting the sore
ness out OF the muscles of the men,
there was practically nothing 10 il.
What the team has needed more than
