Central High Schools baseball team
more than held its nose above water
in its game with the Tome Institute
nine Saturday at Port Deposit. Md,
made in these columns that the blue
and white aggregation this season is
the best turned out at the Q street
school for the past three years. Espe-
cially at bat were the locals much in
evidence. This item has been a note
worthy achievement of the dark blue
and white in all Of fits games. Unlike
the majority of high school aggregations
which spend the major part of their
practice sessions I'm the field. Central
has laid particular stress on batting
and the results are already very much
apparent. II is a long-standing fault
with both amateurs and school players
that they invariably take fielding prac-
tice and pass up batting practice, In
which they are likewise invariably
weaker. Central has the answer TO the
high school problem To win games
the team must hit. The general run
OF the high school mines are very weak
in the field and the place TO win is at
the bat. VIII dope repeat itself?
All OF the games on the sand lots
yesterday were marked by large at
tendance. Everybody now has the fever
and from the turnout OF the back-lot
rooters yesterday il is safe to predict
that this will be one of the best see-
sons the local amateurs have expert
eneed for many moons. At Union
League park no less than one thousand
people witnessed the game between the
Rosedales and Kenilworth, while an
equally large assemblage greeted the
two clubs which battled on the Arsenal
grounds.
Whitney. captain and pitcher Of the
Eastern High School team. is beginning
to show wonted form. In the game
WITH the Bethel Military Academy at
Warrenton. Va. on Saturday, he let
hit. Eastern has but one chance OF
making a bid for the high school pen
nant, and that lies in its battery. Mar
tin and Whitney. who hold up the firing
line work. are both experienced players,
and will have to be at their best TO

Whitney had attempted in The box ana,

stock has been boosted accordingly.

 There are i've good reasons for the indifference with which the Southern fans view the coming of tine big league squads. One is that they don't like to see their own pets whaled so freQuent- the North don't extend themselves to the point of showing on all their fine points. That is to say. the swell slid CTS don't slide and the top-notch fling CTS are content to go along without displaying benders. It Is the most dif- ficult task for manager to make his team work its hardest In the exhibi- tion games in the South.
 Every spring there Is larger num- Der of players who ask to be excused from the Southern trip. They prom ise the management that they will re- port In 'the pink of condition" when the championship season opens. Since take the practice Jaunt. the manager has nothing to do but bow gracefully to the stars request and walt to see If the promise to report In the pink of condition is made good. In most cases the player who sidestepped the prac- when the bell rings for the opening game of the season. The swatting orb Is trained in only one way. and that is to swat steadily every day.
 Ball players are getting so thrifty nowadays that many of them mako of their lives. "Got to stay home from the training trip on account of busi- ness is a regular, everyday alibi with the tossers now.

Major Leagues Spend $1OO,OO
 Getting Ball Players in Shape

The major league ball clubs are just on the point of pouring s100.O00 into the strong boxes of Southern railroads and hotels. And for what? Why. for that mystic. intangible something call ed form"
 A vast army of big leaguers is on the march: some are already at their training camps and others are just pre- pairing for the journey. All of them are on the same mission-iooking for championship form, which is almost as hard to find in the Southland or any where else as the fountain of youth.
 Penantftis Is the consuming fever that Is causing the magnates to loosen the purse strings and send their tal- eent into every State in Dixie looking for the end of the rainbow where lays the form that will win a championship. And the Southern training camp Is no longer the privilege of the rich major leaguers. The more important of the minors have taken up the spring prac- to bring pennant glory to their respect i've cities as the big fellows.
 Does 1t pay? In nine cases out of ten the answer financially speaking, is No" Artistically? Well, that de- pends. President Momiskey, of the To- cal American League team is taking his White Sox on the most elaborate They are en route to San Francisco on a specia1 train, which Is an exact du- plicate of the Overland Limited. Swell training trips are a hobby with the master of the Sox. and he spent 36.000 for his train alone. That Is as much as the average club spends for Its en- tire. training trip. But Commy says he will get 1t all back and more. too Possibly he will. for he has scheduled about seventy-f1Ve games for the two

Joe Tinker Picks Out Donovan
 as the Greatest of TUirIers

day. I think he worked too fast. He never rested a second, As quick as the catcher tossed the ball to him he sailed
 1t across the pan again. When he did weaken he went all to smash, and we
 scored six runs. Mathewson and Ed
 Walsh. Mcintyre and Cy Young are
 all wonders, but I don't believe any
 pitcher ever was in possession of hte
 wonderful foolers that Wild BilP
 showed us for seven innings In the sec- ond game of the last worlds series."
 Tinker had to win a stage game with home run in the ninth every day
 His trip around the bases isn't all in plain view of the audience. One mat inee before the piece got to running smoothly Joe was little slow In making the circuit. The catcher got the ball with Sir Joseph about ten feet from the plate. He would have been a deep-dyed villain to tag the hero out when the old homestead depended on that home-run smash. Tinker made a slide for the pan which wasn't any stage slide at all. He threw himself with a long hook slide, pellmell. for the pan, and tipped over the catcher, umpire. and his best girl. who was waiting to crown the hero with a lau- rel wreath give him her hand and all that other fiub-dub business which goes with a fine piece of heroism. The umpire was over two minutes trying to sputter out "Safe."

PRAISE WORK
 OF MANUSH Is Playing Fine Ball in
 Panama. BEST MAN IN THE LEAGUE A Critic Writes That He Scoops
 'Em on the Run.
Montgomery Fans Will Re Interested in Knowing That "Moose" Bax- ter is Among the Men Playing
 Against Manusha Team.

If Frank Manush reports to the Climbers and the chances are all in favor of his appearance here before the month Is up. Greminger should condition. Manush has been playing ball in Panama throughout the win- ter and from all reports. the teams which have been entertaining the pub at the great American game.
 There is no lack of enthusiasm on the part of the people living on the lsthmus. The rooter is just as vigor- ous as he Is in the States and his likes and dislikes are manifest at every game. The umpire. from all re- ports, has the most strenuous of jobs umpiring games on the Isthmus and has to settle difficulties with his fists. There is no national commission there to protect the arbitrators and as re- suit the spectators get run for thell money Insofar as baseball and prize lighting Is concerned
 Northern exchange prints a story which relates the experiences of an umpire who had to whip two players In one game, and had to deliver knock out blows to get them out of the game The league, 1t is stated. has adopted break to keep the game free of the lighting end.
 The Panama league season ends ID April. having started during the Christ
  mors in reference to Manush not play ing this summer have but little weight
 Northern exchange has the follow ing to say about Manush's work: "Manush. the young infelder Connle Mack had on third during the latter part of last season and who has been sold to the Montgomery team of the Southern League, Is putting up fine game on third for the Motive Power and Machine team. He covers a world of territory, scoops 'em up on the run. and is a remarkable thrower. He is easily the best infelder on the 18th mus Manush is fit to take up his work in the Southern League when the call to arms Is given"
 On the tail-end team, the Ancons, is Moose Baxter. Baxter gained eVerlast- Ing fame last year in the eyes of the fans by whipping an umpire in New Orleans. Moose is playing second base. and reports say that 1t Is not because of his playing that the Ancons are bringing up the rear In the league down there.
 The Isthmian Baseball League is efficered. Col. Goethals, chairman of the Isthmian canal com Is president, He was not but because he Is a thirty-third de- gree fan. H. H. Rousseau. another member of the commission, Is the vice president. and he Is positively dyed in-the-wool fanatic. But perhaps the most genuine. consistent, everyday sporty y-inclined fellows. William M. Wood, Is the secretary treasurer. This triumvir are as prominent in baseball in the Canal Zone as was the famous triumvir which promoted the national game in the States, and if there Is anything overlooked by the Zone trio. no one has been bold enough to spring 1t on the baseball populace.

Hughey is never boastful. but he has to smile when he thinks of the improved form his team will show with Moriarty at third and Bush at short.
 It is not often that Hughey talks of his team, but when he does he usually says something. He went over the makeup of the other teams today as well as his own. and made some significant comment. When asked what he proposed to do about the play CTS who are holding out for more salary. he remarked:

 This was Latham's cue. He had a match in his pocket. and lifting the bag. as if he was to fasten 1t, he touch ed off the giant cracker
 Everybody was interested in the play when suddenly there was loud crash at third base With the report Arlie Latham was seen to totter a few steps and bring his hand up over his heart and sink to the ground.
 Won der Ahe saw Arlie drop. He let out screech and tumbled out on the field and was soon kneeling beside Latham.
 "Ach Got, Arlie. didn't mean dat somepody should shooted you. Blease speak"
 Latham suddenly jumped to his feet and, rubbing his ear. said:
 Its all right. Chris. The bullet struck me in the mouth and I swal- lowed it."
 Chris did not see the joke until the team left the field. He then hastened to the clubhouse and fined Latham $50 for shooting off fire crackers on the field. Of course. Arlie didn't pay the fine. If he had paid every fine that Chris handed him, Latham would now owe Won der Ahe money.

VETERAN CATCHAR TO
 COACH THE HIGHLANDERS

Manager stallings Is responsible for the engagement of the veteran catch CT. Charley Farrell, who will go to Macon to coach the Highlanders' young pitchers. Stallings always held Far rell in high esteem. He says the once great backstop will be retained all season and that he feels sure that his presence on the field will be of invaluable service to the team. Far rell was one of the best catchers in the National League when he caught the New York pitchers Russie and Meek i'm in 1894 the year that the Giants defeated the champion Balti- mores in the Temple Cup series. He was glutton for work, going be- hind the bat day after day and land- ing the terrible speed of the big fel- lows without a flaw. He was a su- perb thrower, a rattling hitter and a splendid inside worker. Later Far rell caught great ball for the cham pion Brooklyns under Ned Hanlon's management, handling Hughes. M James, Kennedy and other star twirl- CTS in masterly fashion. Stallings has so much confidence in the big back stop that he intends to leave the de- velopment of the young pitchers en- tirely to his judgment. It will be up to the Duke of Marlboro" to say just which men shall be retained or re- leased.
