Ribs Of Original Craft May
Have Been Used to Support
Wharf

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NORFOLK, Va, oct. 25.-rhe final
whereabouts of the historic vessel, the
Clermont the famous replica Of which is
to be brought from New York to Norfolk
for the convention Of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association, November nth
to Goth, remains a mystery. 1t has been
asserted that the original Clermont was
finally transported as the Henrietta, to
the Cape Fear river, North Carolina,
where Fulton himself, as early as 1918 had
suggested the formation Of a steam navi-
cation company
Another authority, ]. Seymour Bullock,
says that the boat was broken up when
further improvements rendered her an
tiquated shape and construction unequal
to the increased traffic upon the river,
and that her ribs" were used under the
foundry built monitors during the Civil
War.
The replica Of the Clermont, which will
be brought here through the inland route.
Will be one OF the principal attractions 70
visitors during convention week, but the
fact that President Taft will be the guest
Of the city and of the Waterways Assoc
citation on November 18th, and viii for the
first time himself see this famous craft
here, adds interest to the occasion. The
program for the entertainment OF the
president and other distinguished visitors

ed in the near future. 1t provides. among
other things, great parade Of sailors and
soldiers, the Virginia militia and children

CHANGE IS PROBABLE
IN NATIONALS LINEUP
Manager Cantillon Worries Over Failure to Win-Free-
man May Go for Out6elder-Pay Tribute
to Doc Powers
By THOMAS KIRBY.

When ball club is depending upon
: pitchers who do not pitch upon bat
ters who do rot bat, and fielders who
do not field, Sttle success can be ex-
+ pccted. This is the situation confront
ing washington at present
. To attempt 20 estimate the probable
showing the Nationals are 20 make this
season by the work they have done
thus far would be unfair. and to assert
that the team is not capable of putting
up a high article of ball would be RI
= diculous. as many of the most capable
critics have pronounced the Washington
. club as a dangerous rival likely TO
: cause upsets at any turn.
But with all this Joe Cantillon is far
from satisfied. When the squad reached
here from the training trip the mana
ger expressed unlimited confidence in
the ability OF his charges to become
real factors in the race, and this was
really the way he felt.
With the season only two weeks old
and the Nationals occupying their
usual loNly position, the manager is
thoroughly reused to a realization os
The fact that something must be done,
and done without delay, so fandom need
not be greatly Surprised if there are
changes made in the personnel OF the
Nationals during the present tour
SO we'll has Bob Unglaub performed
at first base since the lest shift was
made that he has virtually supplanted
Jerry Freeman at that position. No
player obtained BY the washington
club since the beginning of the present
regime had a brighter chance of OBJ
tainiTsSS a permanent berth than Free
man. CantiIon's confidence in the tall
player was so deep-rOoted that it was
thought that one of the last places &c
be interfered With would be first base.
At the beginning Of last season Free
man was considerably overweight, and
was awkward, so much so at times that
there was a universal demand for
change.
But Cantillon's judgment was un-
shaken After. becoming accustomed 10
his Surroundings Freeman commenced
80 improve. and toward the close Of the
Campaign was playing a high-class ar
ticIe of ball. But this spring he las
not been hitting up TO the standard re-
CURED of first basemen IN this day and
generation. so. with Unglaub on hand.
Cantilloa has commenced so cast about
In the hope OF exchanging Freeman for
some other player who might bolster
UP some weak place, most probably in
the outfield.
Although most OF the American
