Washlneton'S Victory
Over the Cardinals
Is Very Encouraging
By THOMAS S. RICE.

GALVESTON. March 1S-Wthout be-
ing puffed up about WashingtOn's vic
tory over the St. Louis Nationals at
Houston yesterday by 70 ], we may
say that the game offered much more
encouragement for the Capital fans
than that Of the day before. when they
barely defeated the Galveston minor
leaguers by to l.
There was not a great deal OF hit
ting yesterday. Ganley's triple and Al
tiers double and five singles Consti-
Suted the honor roll. but the hitting was
timely and was done in a manner that
would win games in any company.
Timely Batting a Feature.
Another feature was that twice when
men were on third and only one out,
the batter came to the rescue with a
long fly that enabled the runner TO
score. The number Of times a Wash
fngtonian reached third and died there
because the men following him could
not get the ball out Of the infield SUR

of computation. II has been a weakness
OF the team for many moons. but il
looks this year as If we have a bunch

respect.

PRESENT RULES
NEED CHANGING:
MAY CAUSE WAR
CantiIlon Predicts Trouble Unless Drafting
Code IS Revised Rules Should Be So
Amended That Big Leagues Could Not
Make Unlimited Drafts Below Class A.
BY THOMAS S. RICE.

GALVESTON. Texas, March B.-That
another baseball war is very likely 10
break out. unless the present drafting
rules are changed. is the opinion OF
Joe .Cantillon. manager of the Washing
ton American League team. and owner
OF the Milwaukee American Association
team.
Ca1tiHon and the other American As
ISOLATION owners consider the present
drafting rules for class 4 league very
unfair. and say they will have to be
changed. The whole subject OF draft
ing is fraught with difficulties and
affords opportunities for so many sub
terfuges that II is easy to believe that
trouble will come some day.
Speaking Of the present conditions,
Cantillon said:
Rules Should Be Amended.
The drafting rules allow only one
man to be taken from class A team.
but the rules should be so amended that
the big league teams could not make
unlimited drafts on teams below class
A The trouble now is that the major
league managers draft thirty-five or
forty men and carry them through the
spring practice. These drafted men are
the pick Of all the small leagues, and. as
the majors have the preference. there
is little material left for the class A
managers to select from when they
draft in their turn.
Not only are the Class a managers
thus left up n stump on the question
of drafting from below but they are
doublv affected. The majors carry these
drafted youngsters until the season
opens. then turn. them loose by the
score In the meantime. the Class \
clubs have no means of telling who
are to be relegated back 10 the minors
and can not round out their teams until
it is time to begin the schedule. a
blind man could see that this Is highly
unsatisfactory and cannot continue

"SuU another trouble is, the majors

they were getting in the minor leagues.

league from which they came. or are
sold. the minor manager has 10 pay this
boost in salary II he wants the man.
The average minor club IS not so pro-
fitable that its management can afford
TO pay any more liberal terms than Il
ordinarily makes with the player. and
this excess salary Is a big handicap
The American Association Is fully
aware Of the injustice of the present
arrangement, but has not made any
serious Kick so FAR out OF a desire TO

Should Buy Players Outright.
In addition to drafting outright from
Class a the big leagues could buy out
right such men from the minor leagues
as they might consider undiscovered
stars. That would prevent any really
phenomenal player who develops with
special rapidity from being kept in the
minors too long. and there are some
few Of such men.

Hickman the Hero.
Charley Hickman, at first, vas a
young hero. He has been performing
mighty deeds in the way of scoOping up
low throws TO the initial bag, but yes
terdly. by a wonderful one-hand jump
ing catch, he pulled down a wild high
shot from GanIey and put the runner
out. thereby saving one. and probably
two, tallies.
Perrine. by the way. is not a world
heater so far as accuracy in swapping
the pellet 10 first is concerned. His
motions indicate that he is likely 20 get
Il over the sacker's head. and, by the
same token that is what he sometimes
does. When he tries a sharp. quick re
lay he is equally likely to send il wide
and pull Hickman of the bag. He will
have plenty TO do in these exhibition
games learning to steady himself before
the big league opens. Remedyiug slCh
faults IS one Of the chief benefits of a
long spring practice.

his lodge and taken to the residence
of sheriff j. B. Green, his old friend
and next door neighbor for many

til 2 O'Clock Monday afternoon.
The funeral services were held at
Evergreen cemetery, conducted by

rian church, and the body buried
