named has been behind the bat for two
wears and is slated for the job again. Both
Strong and FurnesS are giving evidence
of possessing the necessary qualifications
and it is just possible that in order to
strengthen the team Grason will be as
signed to one of the inteld positions, pro-
yided he can be persuaded to give up
his old position. Saunders, Showell and
Coster are candidates for the first base.
Saunders played the base last year and
made a very creditable showing. 1t will
require some hard work on the part of
Showell and Coster to GUST him. and
neither have shown the necessary form as
yet.
For the second cushion the most likely
candidates are Otis and White. Both are
new men and uncertain qualities. They
are ambitious, however, and the job Will
certainly be assigned to one the other
of them. Hicks and Walters are having
d hard race for shortstop. Both are last
lem TO pick the regular man. Both are
work. Last year Walters played the posi-
tion and Hicks was at the third corner
This year IL new man, Shipley. will prob
ably be selected for third base. He is
natural ball player and has attracted
much attention by his fine work in prac
tice.
No intimation can be given to the
men who will play the outtield. There
are at least dozen candidates for these
positions, and it will require the exercise
of nice judgment on the part of Coach
Bonothon and Capt. Grason to pick the
lucky ones.

a mere conjecture to count on how many

propheSy that at least naif of those listed
will respond by sending men. The local
management will especially endeaVor 10
bring Gallagher of Brown Prep, one OF the
best distance runners of the country tn
the games. The appearance of this star
would be a great attraction. as the lad
is we'll known among Washington people.
Buring the coming week it is thought
that many replies will be at hand from
different teams. so that IA tentative list OF
the schools to compete may be announced
next Sunday. So far. only a few of the
city managers have correSponded with
the promoters on the subject. but the
communications have all savored of en-
thusiasm and have greatly encouraged
those behind what will be the first ont
door scholastic meet held in Washington
in many Years.
