Basketball League, losing only~one game
in the series
Their record for the season is ten
games won and three lost. losing to Cen
trail Branch, OF Baltimore, and the Car
roll Institute fives. The coming series
hetween the Regulars and Georgetown
Varsity quints is the chief topic of the
day among the basket-tossing popula-
ton OF Washington. Under the able in

and when they meet the Georgetown
team are sure to be in the pink of condi-
ton.
Capt Walk has been playing basket
ball for the past three years. and last
season was picked for the All-Washing-
ton team. The year before last Walk
played a star game for the second team
OF the association.
Thornton, the tall center, has been
playing the game but two years, and in
that short time has made a great reputa-
ton as the middle man. Thornton halls

he played on the All-Richmond team last
year. Thornton is also a junior oat sman
of the Virginia Boat Club.

pulled an oar on the junior, intermediate,
and senior crews of that club Millers
work for the past season has been OF
the highest order, and should he con-
tinue in the game will be one OF the
ranking stars next year.
Bob Mully is the lishtest member
of the team and is one OF the largest
point getters. Last year Mulloy was
captain of the second team, and made
good recordNwith the junior organization.
Hoppe has been in the game for the
past three years, starting in with the
crack Nemos. and for the last two sea-
lars. Hopes work the past season has
been of the highest rank, and when the
Regulars play Georgetown he will be
there with the goods.
This season was the first that Frazier
ever played the game. but under Prof.
Beckett he has improved wonderfully
and is now one Of the best basket tossers
in the District

Since the last publication of averages
only one change in the standing of teams
has taken place, the Haydns. who occu-

ing, by virtue Of seven defeats in their
last nine games, dropped back to fifth
position. The Brahms still maintain their
lead, with the Mozarts close behind and
both the Glucks and Schuberts coming
strong.
In team averages, the Mozarts are by
far the best, with the Glucks running
a close second. The Wagners enjoy the
doubtful distinction of leading from the
rear in both standing and averages and
are hardly liable to lose their place in
either

LINEUP FOR FIRST DAY.
By WILLIAM PEET.

Special to The Washington Herald
Atlanta. Ga, March 6.-Manager Nc
Aleer and his present family Of ball
players had their first workout on the
Atlanta club grounds to-day and a real
work it was, too. The thermometer
registered so degrees in the shade, and
despite the warning from Manager
Jim and some of the oId-tiners, a few
of the youngsters, notably Ainsmith, in
sisted on cutting loose. 1t is freely pre-
dicted that Ainsmith will not be able to
take off his hat tomorrow.
The practice consisted of batting, field
ing. and running around the ball pasture.
Manager Jim was immensely pleased
with the first days work.
After the twirlers had pitched straight
balls to the batters and every one had
hlistered his hands fungo-hitting to the
army of outfielders, Manager Jim selected
a lineup and worked with them himself,
batting the ball to the infield, with an
occasional low fly to the outer garden
men
Ainsmith pegged the bases in regular
midseason form. Cunningham on second
looked awfuIIy good, and Kid Elberfeld
LeliveIt and John Henry took turns
at playing the initial bag. and Lelivelt's
work gave every one the impression that
he is a natural-born first baSeman. Last
season his great fault during the few
games he tried to cover the bag was in
handling low thrown balls He scooped
EN- out of the dirt to-day all right, and
it looks now as if SomerlOtt would have
tc show more than ordinary ability to
hold down that place.
John Henry also looked pretty good on
Pier No. !, but in comparison with Lee
livelt his work suffered.
Players Work Until Tired.
Manager McAleer's plan to-day was to
work the men until they were tired out,
and the majority were ready to quit
about l o'clock. With the exception of
a few most of the squad is composed of
young players, many of whom are few
pounds overweight, and the strenuous
exercise will not hurt them a bit The
same programme viii be carried out to-
morrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. On
Friday or Saturday the first real game
will be played between teams composed
of the Washington players. The games
with the Atlanta club will not start until
the latter part of next week.
When the Nationals reached town Sun
day they found Outfielder Charley Swain,
formerly Of the Northwestern League;
Jack Lelfvelt. a veteran of two years,
and Pitcher Bussey waiting for them.

only a little sun, but things dry up

was too muddy for use. long and lively
practice was held on the grass plot back

All of the other players took baseball
practice, except Hemphill. He took a
six-mile walk, and together with Vaughn

rather-in the afternoon. making two
sessions during the day for Vaughn and
Blair. Rudimentary work in batting,
pitching, chasing the ball around, and
throwing was all that could be done, but
there was ffrst-rate practice In those
things.
