Fred" Gets Ovation for
Great Catch, But Is Rob-

GERMANY SCHAEFER
ALSO A FAVORITE
Warren Miller Goes to Mobile,
in the Southern
League.
By SENATOR"
(onIy Washington Newspaper Man
With the NatlOnals.)

PHILADELPHIA, June 20.-Young
''Red" Walker, the Nationals rookie
outfelder, has in a day become the hero
Of the PhiIly bleacherites. They saw
him make his wonderful dash across
the field and catch that savage drive of
McInnes' yesterday, tumbling headlong
over the low cement wall in front of
their bailiwick just as he got the ball
In his outstretched fingers. They also
heard "Rubber-Collar" Egan rule that
play a tumble, and now they are with
the lad who turned in one OF the great
est catches ever seen here.
When Egan made his decision,
Walker pointed TO the fans in the
bleachers for VeriflCation OF his as
founding catch. There was roar OF
"out" from the rooters, but Egan ma
jestically waved the Nationals aside
and ordered them back to their places.
Throughout the. rest of the game
Walker was cheered every time he
took his place in the field and when
he came to bat. Egan's decision was
too much even for those home fans
and they are with the youngster now
to the end.
Germany Favorite.
Germany Schaefer is another favor
lite with the fans here and for their
amusement he worked a few extra
wrinkles in his play yesterday. He
was struck out fairly in the fifth in
ming, but Egan ruled it a base on
balls. The comedian let out a loud
guffaw and trotted and galloped down
to first, winding up with a waltzstep
as he neared the bag. In reply to
the yells of the fans, he doffed his
cap and laughed again at the pur-
blind official. After that episode he
was kept busy doing funny steps and
monkeyshines on every play and he
was applauded for every one of them,
too.
Warren Miller. the Philly boy. tried
out this spring with the Nationals, ana
only a week or so ago allowed to pur-
chase his release, If possible, reported
to Manager McAleer last night. He told
him that he had been unable to land a
berth for himself in the New York State
League or in the Tristate circuit, and
that he was willing to go wherever he
might be sent. He was then ordered
to report to the Mobile clue, of the
Southern League, and expects to leave
this city Thursday.
In Poor Health.
81 tried hard to find a place in the
Northern circuits" he said, but l fail
ed. / understand Mobile is one of the
hottest cities in the Southern League,
and do not expect my health 10 be any
too good down there. I'm going just
the same and hope to play ball good
enough to be picked up next fall for
another trial in the major league"
Since leaving Washington, Miller has
not been in the best of health and has
not practiced much. However, he says
that he should not have much trouble
in hitting his stride once he gets down
to work.
