REISLING IS TOO ILL
TO WORK FOR TEN DAYS
Veteran Washington Pitcher Discovers That He Has
Wel-Developed Case of Quinzy and Some of
the Other Players Are None Too Well
BY THOMAS S. RICE.

RICHMOND. Va, March Is. - Woe,
woe. woe is Doc Reisling.
A physician who examined him this
morning said that the Doctor had a full
fiedged case Of oId-fashioned quinzy. II
you have ever had the quinzy you
know what this means. No use
arguing with the quinzy veterans
about what is the most painful thing
IN the world. They know before you
ask them. Docs quincy has been de
veloping for three days, and when il
breaks ne Will be weak as a kitten.
That makes il look like ten days before
Doc will be able 10 resume his activi-
ties as a reliable pitcher. a prospect
which is not pleasing 20 McAIeer.
With Dixie" Walker laid up with bad
ankle and Walter Johnson still an un-
certain proposition, the manager man is
hard put to find enough twirlcrs. Gray,
Groom, and OberIien are the present
supply Of available fingers of recog-
nized ability Hovlik is sore as Refs
linE's throat, as a result of his too
strenuous endeavOrs when he first joined
us. and Joe OH viii probably stand
another season in the minors. McAIeer
was much more impressed with Refs
HnE's showing than the fans would have
supposed and his illness at this time
Is a decided sI-ock, for if the weather
gets bad Doc will have to take such
good care Of himself that he may be
ont Of the game much longer than ten
days.
Bob UnElaub's trouble with his ankle
was renewed last night, when ne turned
IL in slipping off a step He says he
viii be in tie game today If he has 90
use Crutches. but he is not fit TO show
his best PAGES.
May Prove Easy.
The Richmond team has been together
less than a week. and should not offer
serious OPPOSITION in the games with
Washington today and tomorrow. It
proved easy for the Philadelphia Ma
tionals, and has not had time To i'm
prove since then.
After becoming accustomed to the
frst-class sod diamond in Norfolk the
skinned diamond IN Richmond should
cause NCAleer's men some little in
convenience.
Richmond has perfect mania for
baseball. and the crowds at the exhibi-
tion games this year have been surprls-
ingly large, hence NcAIeer is looking
forward 10 the two days here with great
complacency.
Kid EIberfeId should be a strong
drawing card I'm this city. 1t was as a
member Of the Richmond team Of the
Virginia League that he first came into
prominence. and ne is still rememb bered
here for his great ability as n fielder
and kicker. Thousands of the older fans
know him, and there was a constant
stream Of them around the hotel last
night and this morning asking 10 have
him pointed out 70 them. He is on the
cards to show them that ne is worthy
emily s nimhle now as when he used
10 make the fans think that II he had
only been here thirty years before he
would have chased tho whole Yankee
army back 10 the Hudson river, much
less the Potomac
Killifer's Ankle Weak.
Wade KUIrer seems 10 have p dis
located ankle and does not know II.
Doc ReislinC took a look at the freak
prop and mumbIed that it was disIo-
Gated all right. all right. a ster which he
prodded Il with his fingers and gave as
good a toe hold exhibition as his weak
ness would allow. but EuIifer said there
was nothing doing in the pain line.
Whereat Doc fell back on the pillows
and wished he were a barefoot bOv
again. knlifer has had trouble with his
legs this season. bat not I'm the curious
looking ankle. and he shows no iU ef-
