has been somewhat in the doldrums the

will be built around the Yale and Prince

third is necessary, only two games
will be arranged for. and maybe one.
There is no trouble with Princeton over

in favor Of Annapolis on account Of its

Believing I'm the adage that the early
bird gets the worn. the Washington club
will probably have a scout out sooner
than any of it's rivals. Mike kahoe. who
with Dick Padden made the circuit of
the minor leagues last season, will be on
the job as early as February next year.
II is Manager McAleers intention to have
kahoe look all the big college teams over
just as soon as they start their practice.
The Nationals success i'm picking up
several promising youngsters last season
has encouraged McAIeer, and he proposes
to have the coIlegians carefully looked
over in the spring in the hope of picking
up a man or two.
A major league club is just as apt to
secure valuable player from the col
lege ranks as anywhere else. In fact, in
recent years some of the most brilliant
players have been dragged out from these
school teams. Eddie Collins and Jack
Barry, two of the greatest 1nfielders in
the American League, being samples.
Much of Connie Mack's success In build
ing up winning team has been due to
the fact that he secured college players

made this speciality for years, and other
managers are just beginning to awaken

seasons until he is Of real value to the
team.
Kahoe's judgment of ball players. as
displayed by his last years selections. Is
excellent, and McAleer and President

ability as scout.
Connie Mack saw John Henry catch in
but one game, but he Is nevertheless
convinced that he has the making of
great catcher.

the season that Henry handled Walter
