March "A. 1909.

A1dTCn IL l5UJ.
Dear Fanatics: The impression has
gone abroad among the other major
league teams that Washington will bear
watching and Inay have something up
its sleeve this year
The conservative statements in The
Times predicting a strong chance for
the top of the second division have been
read by the magnates, and they are
wondering whether we have something
in reserve. They have examined the
material and would not be surprised TO
see them slip into tie first division
We, ourself, think the other fellows toe
tfmid about Washington. but Il is In the
range Of possibilities that the fears Of
Jimmy McAleer, Hughey Jennings, ct
al. may be realized, and that Washing
ton may join the class of the chosen
few.
Jennings was particularly solicitous in
inquiring about our present condition
and future prospects. He tried not to
seem anxious, but he edged around the
gang and wanted to know just where
we stood. When the Saturday game
was played Hughey devoted more at
tention to watching the work of our
brave boys than he did to the perform
ances of his own henchmen- Hughey
is of the opinion that Washington is
much stronger this year than last. no
matter what il may accomplish in the
exhibition games. and the thought does
not please him, for the stronger those
Eastern clubs this year the harder
shedding 1t is going to be for the Tigers.
Tigers in Condition.
All Of the Tigers look well, but George
A1;..i..., - pitcher, is making j special
hit by his condition. He is in better
spring shape than ever in his career,
and was the recipient of numerous
congratulations from the Washington
players. Much of the condition of the
Tigers is due to the training they have
received from Harry TuthilI, a man who

Washington and Lee Makes
Statement of It's Ath-
letic Position.

Officials Declare They Will Meet
Orange and Blue on Any
Neutral Field.

In the same tenor Of a communication
recently publiShed in The Times criti-
cising the University Of Virginia for it's
failure to arrange games with teams
from which It has met defeat. the ath-
letic committee OF Washington and Lee
has issued a statement Of its position
in regard to conteet5 with Virginia
This statement IS S2aught forth be-
cause Of ViTginia's reply TO criticism
in which it was said that repeated at
tempts TO arrange games with Wash
ington and Lee had been unsuccessful.
The statement follows:
1T is quito irae that Virginia has
not refused % play Washington and
Lee in Charlie StesTiile. but washington
and Lee has refused each time and
rightly So The last contest resulted
in victory for Washington and Lee,
and hence 1t is only fair that the other
game should be played on at least neu-
trail territory. If Virginia pursues this

CATCHER AS MANAGER
EsA CATCHER too busy 20 manage
a ball club?

EsA CATCHER too busy 20 manage
a bali club?
This question has arisen from the
assertion of President Comiskey, Of
the White Sox, that he thought Billy
Sullivan had enough TO do without
being burdened with the managerial
reins. In the two major leagues there
are at present two calcher-managers
Roger Bresnahan. of the St. Louis
Boston Doves. Neither Of these men
has had a chance to prove n worth,
and for that reason it is manifesLly un-
fair TO jump to the conclusion that
either will be in any way a failure.
A major league backstop, particular
most cases requires the first string
catcher to work in five out Of seven
games has the hardest job in base
ball aside from the manager. Further
more, II is safe 10 say most Of the pres
ent-day catchers are assistant man
ayers and do more thinking. perhaps,
than the men who are. earning the
managerial salaries.
There are times when the real man
ager is idle on the field. He may be
working with his brains but not with
his hands, or vice versa There is no
time when n good catcher is not en-
ployed busily, both physically and
mentally. The ball is IN his hands
oftener than in any ones else save the
pitchers and he is forced to keep lus
mind working all the time, whatever
the status Of the game. In these days
