BY J. ED GRILLo.

Manager McAleer is going to make an
effort to secure Jack Flynn, the Pitts
burg clubs first baseman. McAleer and
Flynn met yesterday afternoon and the
Nationals manager told the youngster
that he wanted him to play first base for
him il there was a chance to secure his
release.
IF there is chance to get you from
Pittsburg 1 will be tickled to give you
chance said McAleer.
Eyes, and I'll be tickled to come here
if Pittsburg don't want m" was the re-
joinder.''
McAleer then told Flynn that he would
see Barney Dreyfuss and Manager Clarke
at the annual meeting and talk the mat
ter over with them McAleer's desire to
secure Flynn does not increase the
chances of his coming here in the least.
AS yet the Pittsburg club has not taken
step if Flynns case, though it is i'm
derstood that. the Pirates will not carry
Flynn next season. having shifted Wag-
ner over to first base. According to some
rumors Flynn is destined to go to some
minor league club in a trade, but, Of
course, before he could be sent anywhere
the other seven clubs of the National
League would have to waive on him, and
1t is by no means assured that these
clubs would pass him up Should waiv-
ers be secured on Flynn it would then be
up to Pittsburg to dispose OF him as best
1t could, and t.iere are reasons for be-
lievlng that the Boston Americans, now
that Jake Stahl has retired from the
game, would not hesitate an instant to
put in a pretty stiff bid for him.
However, McAleer is going to try to
land Flynn. If he does the first base
base problem will have been solved, for
judged on his showing with Pittsburg
last season Flynn would prove the most
valuable man the Nationals have had
on first base in recent years.
Flynn, OF course, would be pleased to
play here. He likes the east and prob
ably realizes that he would have an
easier time making good here than he
had last year with the Pirates. who were
worlds champions when he joined them.
The Washington club is going to make
an innovation in the matter of scouting,
being the first club to send a scout into
the training camps of the other league
clubs. This duty was assigned to Mike
Kahoe Yesterday. AS soon as the major
league clubs start south to train kahoe
will get busy and look them all over.
the object being to get line on the
that when they get ready to cut them
loose the Washington club wifi know
what players to waive on and what play
ers to hold up.
The scheme is orig'nai with Manager
Mcalser He contends that lot of
good ball players are sent back to the
minors every year without getting a trial
in fast company. The clubs take the
Youngsters south, but have SO many
that they cannot carry them after the
season starts. Waivers are then asked
for. but these are always given because
the other clubs have no line on the
players.
for that purpose is to visit the training
camp of every major league club.
1t Is not at all unlikely that Memphis
will be selected as the Nationals training
Mace. McAleer heard so much about the
good qualities of Memphis as a training
place that he is sure to go there and look

Yesterday afternoon by drowning while
bathing in the river opposite the foot OF

When taken from the water Washing
ton was unconscious. His friends made
unsuccessful efforts to resuscitate him
and finally had him taken across the
river to the boathouse of w. T. Reynolds,
