~ WILLIAM PEET.

Doc" Reisling. the Nationals tUirler,
signed by Joe Cantillon during the Tag
end of the season. who made such a good
record that President Moves lost no time
I'm reserving him for this year. wants TO DO
his early training at Hot Springs and
saws that IL Manager McAleer viii allow
him TO go there he will guarantee to win
as many games as any pitcher In the
club.
ReisHng is a full-fedged dentist His
home is i'm Caldwell. Ohio. where me-
buckles down to his trade as soon as the
baseball sasou closes. and continues to.
yank teeth and pound in filings until
it comes time to report In the spring
In a letter TO the writer ReislinE says
that lac has not signed W as vet but
does not expect there viii be any hitch
when the contract arrives. lie is loud
IN his praise Of Kid El5erfeld, but, like
the others, remains loyal 10 Wild Conroy.
When Manager McAIccr was in Wash
ington last December lie told the writer
that he expected great things from Reis-
Ing next season. and intimated that if
the big fellow wanted 20 go 10 Hot
Springs to get into shape he would oe
allowed 20 do SO.
ReisIing's letter, published for the ben
eft Of the local fans, is as follows.
