BY J. ED GRILLO.

NashtnSton's ball team is to Inc recon-
structed. Jim Mc\leer'S plans are to
add all the young blood that ne can Sc
cure before the next campaign opens.
He realizes that in carrying out his ideas
of how the Nationals can he made a
winning combination he has assumed a
great responsibility, but the only one
open 10 him.
Last year the club stood pat with rhe
material it had on hand. Excepting the
acquisition of ElberfeId there were no
changes of any consequence made in the
locals lineup. Excepting an occasional
flash the team. however, has failed to
come up to McAleers wishes. While
the manager is not averse to seasoned
material, he has noted the fact that this
system has been employed here for years
in an effort to get winner but has
failed. and has adopted the plan of other
teams and Will rely on youngsters to
build up team which will make a better
showing in the race.
Already much has been accomplished
in this direction. The purchase of Sec
ond Baseman Cunningham. Catcher Ain
smith and Pitcher Meyer is but the be-
ginning of a campaign to add new faces
McAleer has some very excellent ball
players on his team. Some men would
be hard to replace with youngsters, but
there are others who have displayed the
fact that they have seen their best days,
and players to take their places will be
secured.
one thing McAleer is convinced of and
that is with very few exceptions none
of the material he now has on hand will
show any material improvement in the
next few years. In fact, the chances are
that these players will go back, so that
the time has come to get men who can
fill their places.
Last year CantillOn was handicapped
because he did not know whether he
would remain at the head of the team.
He did not want to load up. with ma
ter1al which his successor might not de-
sire, so the club stood still and when
McAleer was finally chosen to take
charge 1t was too late to do any expert
menting. But McAleer is going along on
the theory that he will remain at the
head of the team. Whether he has been
given assurance to this effect or not is
not known. but he is working for the flu
ture just as if his future had been de-
cided upon. There is not the slightest
chance of a change in management being
made. McAleer has dCne as well as any
on hand. and he will be given chance
to build up team of his own making.
Securing young ball players for a
major league team is really nothing
more than a gamble. Results may not
be obtained for several years but there
is always the satisfaction that if the
right sort of material can be secured
that such team will last for many sea-
sons. while one which is made up of

BETTING BACKS UP.
Jeffries' Admirers Hesitate on Civ
ing Long Odds.

NEW YORK. July There is a dead
lock in the betting here on the Jeffries-
Johnson championship fight. Jeffries' own
statement that the contest was an even
proposition caused his admirers to hest
tate today to put their money down at ~
to ., while Johnsons friends are sticking
out for the short end of > to l.
\ round of sporting headquarters today
shows the present contest to be unusual
in the fact that not one big wager has
been made locally on the fight. Some
large amounts OF money were carried
west to be placed at the ringside. Will
liam Muldoons declaration that Jeffries'
judgment of distance and timing is not
good, and that he is due to receive n
great deal of punishment, enheartened
the Johnson cohorts today.

tried veterans may deliver one year and
fail thereafter. as natural result of
the deterioration of the players which
comes with years of service.
1t will require the expenditure of
fortune to experiment with youngsters
No one can tell whether the player who
stars in the minor leagues will hold his
own in faster company. 1t is chance
which the club must assume. There was
a time when il was inexpensive to make
such experiments. Minor league players
could he secured for a song because the
competition was not what it is today.
But under existing conditions the mo-
ment player displays any form every
ma jor league club is bidder for his
services. The result is that exorbitant
sums are paid for players who may or
may not make good.
But McAleer has decided that the
Washington club must compete with its
rivals. The cost of such experiments
cannot be considered. 1t must be done,
he says. if winner is ever to be secured
here. and in this he has the backing OF
the club owners.
1t is not the intention, however, to part
with any player until his superior has
been found. Young blood of the proper
kind Strewn among a lot of good veterans
makes the most ideal combination, and it
is this sort that McAleer plans.
McAleer needs couple of fast and hard
hitting Outfielders to work with Milan.
but they must be better than those he
has before he will make a change. 1t
sounds easy enough to talk of getting
such players, but they are hard to find.
His 1nfield, too, needs changes. Unglaub'S
slump has been severe handicap. Bob
may come back to his form, but it would
be taking long chance to take that for
granted Second base is none too
strong. but the team appears to be well
fortified at short, and with Elberfeld dis
playing all his former ability it would not
be easy to find a man to take his place.
With able assistants Street can take
care of the catching department, but
more is needed in the way of consistent
pitchers. The team has some good ma
ter1al in Johnson. Walker, Groom and
Gray, for the latter pair is sure to con-
tinue to improve, but several others are
needed.
There Is perhaps no club in the league
as does the local club. When the man
ager decides to secure a player ii does
not require meeting of a board of di-
rectorS to approve such deal. The mat
ter is almost entirely in his hands, and
few minutes chat with the president of
the club usually settles such affairs.
This is an ideal condition and the only
one under which any man can deliver the
goods for d ball club. One mans judg-
ment must be relied upon i'm base ball.
1t differs from any other business When
business concern makes an outlay of
large sums of money the move is care
fully considered. That does not go in
base ball. A manager hears of a. player
who, according to recommendations, will
help his team. He must have confidence
in those who tip him off, and then cam
not hesitate. but must buy quickly, for
competition is so great that delay is al
ways fatal The player may prove worth

The reason Jeffries is SO anxious to
have the boxing platform of the arena
absolutely immovable is assigned to the
experience he had during his fight with
Bob F'itZSmmonS nearly "A decade ago

and it was bit unstable and shaky for

as kind of spring board from which

That Johnson thinks mighty we'll of his
chances in the fight is shown by his
statement last night that he had 5000
to bet on himself. A local stakeholder

Some thought that the naming of Charlie
White as the second referee would give
an impetus to wagering, but no special
squirt has been noted. Several men with
money to place are said to be holding
aloOf from placing their collateral be-
cause they are of the belief that the ar
bitter for the battle has not been named
finally.
There is warfare on between two sets
of houses where bets may be placed and
this has led to the naming of some pecu-
liar odds. At Tom COrbett's place, Of
ficially recognized by the promoters as
betting headquarters. the best odds Of
fered are 10 to 6la Jeffries. and even
money that Jeffries does not knock john
son out within twenty-five rounds.
But up the street few doors. in an in
dependent house. odds of 10 to ~ on JEFF
fries are being megaphoned to the
crowds, and even money is offered that
Jeffries will not knock his opponent out

But neither place is doing any large
amount of business. Several bets of 500
to $50 and $40 have been placed. A few
have been made at $500 to $3.50.
