WashingtOn's new twirlers. Dolly
Gray, formerly OF the Los Angeles club.
and Robert Groom, Of Portland, Oreg-
in the Pacific League circuit, are counted
the real smoke cut beyond the Rockies.
and that Joe Cantillon has drawn no false
alarms or blanks is clearly shown by the
official averages, published for The first
time yesterday in Spaldings official rec
ord booklet
Gray broke into the Pacific Coast
League i've years ago. He is a big.
husky Ieft-hander. standing six feet one
inch he IS a product OF the far West
and has never played East in his life
He reminds one very much Of Bill Burns
in action. Gray is cool and collected
slow and methodical in his movements,
and has a world OF speed and a puzzling
assortment of curves. The Los Angeles
fans swear by him. and set up an awful
howl when the news was published that
their favOTite was going 10 Washington.

Robert Groom, the nainstay in the box
OF the Portland club during the season
just closed was last year considered the
luck.est pitcher that ever broke into
baseball, by which Is meant that every
time Groom was booked TO pitch things
broke right for him. To be sure. he was
able 10 deliver the goods and possesses

The Washington herald., 1909-01-08

Fred X. Nelson. the man who gave
George Washington the best football
eleven in the history of the~institution. is
seriously considering the advisabnity of
leaving Washington to practice law in
Nebraska, his native State
Nelson has not been engaged by the
Hatchetite football authorities to coach
next season, not because they do not
want him. but because he is not in po-
sition 10 give them a definite answer. and
In consequence Manager Bill Sommers
has done very little about arranging a
schedule for next fail
At the close Of the 1908 season the ath-
Ietic counsel instructed Manager Sommers
TO secure Nelson for next year. and Som
mers consulted him at once with the re-
suit as told in the foregoing.
His Loss n severe One.
The fact that Nelson has been with
the Hatcherites for the past two years
and has demonstrated that he knows
football makes the news OF his possible
loss a body blow for George Washington.
Good football coaches do not grow on
every bush. and with the limited means
at the disposal OF the athletic association.
II IS doubtful II a man of Nelson's cali
Der could be hired
Should Nelson decide 10 remain IN
Washington he wiu undoubtedly coach
the Hatchetite eleven. but II he can see
that j. would be 20 his advantage 10
hike out 20 Nebraska. none Of the HatcS-
cities could blame him FOR so doing. In
the interests Of George Washington's
football prospects next season, Il IS sin
Cerely hoped that Fred Nelson remains in
Washington.

single game as yet. waiting. TO doubt, 10

between George Washington and Y. P. J.
are not friendly. this game is likely %

There has been q persistent TumOT 60

would be found missing when the 1919
season opened. but friends Of the guar

Byrd is enrolled at George Washington

10 graduate and so into business for him

lawyers are scarce. and i IS safe betting
that the little quarter viii be on hand

Sugar Beets in Iowa.

There are growing on Buchanan
county farms today a total of 500
acres of sugar beets. The work OF
planting has just been completed and
some of the beets have grown TO a
height of six inches and the prospects
for crop are very good. The wea-
Their has been of kind conducive to
excellent work in cleaning the plants
and with the large acreage of the
comparatively new crop, the outcome
is being watched with interest by all.
Mr.. Bowman, representative Of the
company, has his headquarters in
this city and makes daily trips to the
country in experimenting the work,
which is done mostly by beet sugar
workers from North Germany, who
were brought here for that purpose
as they thoroughly understand the
Neutrality-suspicious. Bulletin Jour

Stood MOtiOntess.

Out on Sixth avenue behind an old
barn in the mud there stood a mare
for three days, motionless. Neigh
bors had noticed her there and be-
gan to wonder why she never moved.
They wondered if she had anything
to eat or drink during all those wea-
ny hours. They reported the case
to Humane Officer Eckles. He went
to the scene and found something
the neighbors from their point of
view had not seen, a little colt, and
1T was dead. The mother, dumb with
wonder and grief. weak with lack of
food and drink, stood patiently ca
ressing the dead of her young with
her hot dry tongue trying to heal it
back to life. A revolver shot from
a big blue Colts in the humane Of
ficer's hand relieved the painful stu
alton and mother Joined her dead.

Eats Fingers and Toes.

Literally eating it's fingers and
toes, a 2-months-old babe in the
State University hospital furnishes
the most unique case ever treated in
the local institution. The child's
name is Roy Harkless, but his home
is kept secret by the hospital au-
thoritites. In the history of the
local clinic there never has been a
similar case. The child cries when
the bandages are applied to its hands
and feet and when first brought to
the hospital the child succeeded in
tearing away the cotton fastening
and gnawing away at the stubs of
bone. The toes of the baby are in
the same condition as the hands.
The flesh has been torn away and
inflammation set in before the child
was brought to the hospital. The
physicians are baffied by the Attic
ton. No name has been found for
the habit and no method has been
found to stif1e the continuous long
ing of the infant to dig away with
its baby teeth on the tender flesh
