WASHINGTON'S TRADE
OF DOUBTFUL VALUE
Only Hope Is That Cravath May Prove Good Hitter.
Records of Atrock and Donohue Are
Not Impressive.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Does Washington win or lose on
that deal whereby Pitcher Bill Burns
has been traded to Chicago for
Pitcher Altrock. First Baseman Jiggs
Donohue, and Outhelder Cravath?
That is a genuine problem, but no
amount Of aDstruse speculation or
study of baseball statistics viii give
the answer. Time alone viii tell, and
1T will take some time at that The
batting of the team has not been
improved as far as the naked eye can
detect-and If there is one thing on
earth the club needs 1t is two or
three men VINO can slam the ball to
the outheld with man on third. Cra-
vath batted .256 last season, and it is
said he could do better If played
regularly. That vas a higher mark
than was made by any of the present
Washington outfielders, but, at that,
was nothing remarkable. He is also
said to have a rather Teak arm,
. which may cause trouble.
Donohue and Altrock Weak.
Jiggs Donohue is one of the best
first sackers now afioat, but with the
stick he is even below the low Wash
ington standard. Jiggs is there with
the brains and made his success by
being with the greatest collection Of
decade. He was on a team that had
an astonishing faculty for winning
without hitting, and therefore his
weakness with the willow was com
paratively little considered. When he
joins club like Washington, which
can only hope to win by main
strength and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
from it's progress this season-his
poor sticking Will stand ont glarfhgly
and he viii have q hard row TO travel
IL he wants TO keep either Unglaub or
Freeman off the bag.
AltrOck's record Of winning three out
OF ten games last year with a good
club Ike the White Sox behind him Is
not impressive. Had he been with
Washington that would have been less
than the winning percentage Of the
team, which was Al His percentage
Of 300 with Chicago, which had .579.

SCHLAFLY PLEASES
GEORGETOWN TEAM

The selection Of Joseph Schlafy as
captain of the Georgetown ball team.
for the remainder of the season, is
one that meets with the unanimous
approval Of those who have followed
the university team closely.
In spite OF a tendency toward err
raticness in fielding, the new captain
is considered easily one of the best
ball players that have represented
Georgetown during the present gem

ting he has led the team for two
years.

Now that Burns has gone 4. seems a
pity Cantillon did not trade him
earlier In the spring, when the big
southpaw was much wanted by every
other team in the league, and could
have been snapped for any one Of a
dozen star fielders, who would have
been tremendous help to the present

is carrying around the country. Three

Donohue was not only IL a part Of
last season, but he did not get along
at all well with Fielder Jones, who
treated him shabbily when Donohue was
spiked in Washington. Jones took little
account of Donohue's bad leg and IN
sisted that he leave here with the team
for Boston. when LouOhue couldn't get
out or bed, much less walk. That
srowed some of the feeling that existed
among the Chicago players. and Dono-
hue never forgot or forgave his treat
ment. Whether Il affected his playing
and whether he Will do better under
new management IS on the knees of the
gods. but there is a bare chance that
he may take brsce in new surround

cotton, weighing 500 pounds each,
off of 100 acres of land, and there
