The officials Of the Washington club
yesterday expressed themselves as sat
isfied with Manager McAleer's selection
OF Atlanta, Ca. for a spring training
camp, and all were OF the opinion that
as long as a training camp was neces-
sary, Atlanta was just about as good as
any place.
one OF tue largest stockholders and a
prominent officer OF the local club said
last night: Personally. I believe the
Nationals would be just about as well or
il they trained right here in Washing
ton. We have fairly warm weather dur
ing March, and l believe the boys would
derive as much benefit ! think 1 am
revealing no secret when l say that the
other stockholders and Manager McAleer
himself agree with me. and but Tor one
reason we would never take the team
farther South for early workouts.
Rival managers, fans. and others
would think we were pursuing a cheap
policy II we made the players train In
the Capital. and we DO not want any such
idea TO get abroad The Washington club
pays just as high salaries for it's stars as
the other American League teams. Our
policy always has been, and VIII con-
tinue 10 be, a liberal one, Then, again,

Well, it's all over but the shouting
now, so far as the National League race
for next year is concerned. Pipe this
from the Cleveland News:
Many close-watching and unbiased
critics. after sizing up the various Ma
tional League aggregatlOns. are frankly
of the opinion that John ]. McGraw's
Giants look like the most probable goods
for 1911. Viewed from almost any angle
the Giants look good. The faults of the
team are not so serious that they are
liable 10 trip It up in It's progress toward

club stick out like a red-headed mans
dome at an Italian festival"
We are not certain, but we believe that
this talk sounds familiar.
The following, from a Philadelphia
paper is interesting:
"A business man who takes an interest

fans through his drawings OF Old Man

This fan Shafer has been breaking In
with cartoons on horse racing The first
day he had Old Man Grump' pick four
winners at Latonia. The next day three
OF his tips went through, and so il kept
up Tor several days. Picking winners got
so easy that finally Shafer went to Jack
Ryder, the Enquirer's baseball expert,
for advice.
I've been picking winners too long
for "Old Man Grump," said Shafer.
Don't you think I had better begin 70

No, I DON'T replied Ryder, who has
evidently put up his roll on a few occa-
