Colley. the youngster who played a star
game for the Kensington team last year,
is out for the outer garden at Tech.
Fisehr, the newcomer at Eastern,
shows great promise of becoming a cork
ing good outfielder. AS he is a left hand
batter and fast fielder, he should have
no trouble in making the team.
The boys of Central are putting great
faith in Hunt, the 50-yard hurdler, and as
he is showing good form at present he Is
certain to give a fine account OF him
self in the coming Georgetown games.
Owing to the funk rule, four Central
track men are barred from the team,
but not to be denied their right to run.
They have entered the Georgetown games
under the name of the Central Athletic
Club.
Capt. VareIa. of the Eastern ball team.
Is yerv well satisfied with the material
on hand. and with the able coaching OF
Donnelly, the Capitol Hill boys will be
well fortified for the coming season on
the diamond.
Another good man who is out for the
team at Business is Pat Phillips, last
seasons star shortstop on the Olympia
A. c. Reserves. This lad is fast, and Is
sure to make the other fellows hustle TO
keep their jobs.
The baseball outlook at Western Is
not very promising, according to all re-
ports but as the boys from across the
creek are generally the dark horse in
tine high schools these statements are
TO be taken with a grain of salt Western
has 4 habit of not producing any ball
players until about a week before the
championship games, and then coming
out strong. II the other high schools
are not careful the wearers OF the red
and white will slip something over on
them.

COLTS TRIM REGULARS.
McGraw's Giants Have Strenuous
Day Mt Springs.

Marlin, Tex, March 2-Under a burn
ing sun McGraw's veterans felt as lively
as the youngsters who have been here
for a week and the first real game of
season at Emerson Park resulted in a
victory for the Colts by a score of 8 to ..
The regulars. having just broken into
practice, were not gated up to their
real speed and lost because they failed
to gauge the speed of Pitchers Jenkins
and Hendricks. They collected only three
hits in six innings, and were lucky to
escape a shutout.
McGraw had long day of it, as he as
sembled the Colts at s o'clock this morn
ing and worked with them an hour before
the old boys showed up. For an hour
before lunch the veterans worked out and
the infield was so lively that instead of
waiting for a day or two to start the
games that Marlin fans delight in, the
manager decided to get busy at once.

tionals, looking the. perfect picture of
health, without an overcoat, wearing
natty gray suit and low-cut
shoes, breezed into the Arlington yester-
day noon, and announced that he was
as hungry as goat, for he had just
landed from far-off Boston, having come
most of the way by water.
Prior to Ainsmith's arrival, Doc Ges-
sler and Doc Ralston reached the Capital
on the same train, although neither one
knew it until they accidentally clashed
in Union Station.
About 6 o'clock the fifth member of the
Nationals advance squad put in an ap-
pearance in the person of Fred Sherry,
the big twirler late of Youngstown, and
these players with Charley Corbin, who
reached Washington Wednesday noon,
complete a part of the squad who will
board the train, for Atlanta and the
spring training trip tomorrow afternoon.
Ainsmith appeared much heavier than
when he finished the season here last
October, but he says he has only taken
on five pounds, and now tips the beam
at IT'S.
Eddie has been spending the winter
coaching the Colby Academy basketball
team. He played a few games but always
avoided dangerous mlX-upS and posi-
bic chance of injury. Colby Academy is
a preparatory school for Colby College
one of the leading institutions of the
State of Maine, and the basketball team
under Ainsmith's tUtelage won the ma
jority of its games. Ainsmith is regarded
as one of the best basketball players in
New England
In discussing the baseball situation,
Ainsmith said: 4 feel that l am going
to have a banner year this season. My
experience last season did me a world of
good, and / am confident that will make
much better showing this year
The young hackstop came down via
boat from Boston TO Baltimore and says
the trip was a delightful one. He is
clares that he will be ready any time
Manager Jim wants him to go behind the
bat.
When told it was rumOred Manager Nc
Doc GessIer replied: Not a chance in
the world. I am not a first baseman
and never will be one. I played the po-
sition with the Brooklyns one year and
made a mess out Of it. l am sure Man
ager McAleor will never ask me to
cover the initial sack
GeSsler is about down to weight now.
He looks physically fit, and as the writer
has stated before. it will take a mighty
good yOunEster TO dispIace the veteran
in the sun field
Gessler has not as vet signed his con-
tract. and when asked about the matter
replied:

WRESTLING AT GAYETY.
shad Link Tackles Three Men In
One Hour.

Tonight, at the Gayety Theater, Shad
Link, the well-known Baltimore wrestler,
will try to throw three men within an
hour. His first opponent will be Carl
Sylvia, the Italian heavyweight cham
pion In the second bout Link will en-
deavor to throw Frank Zeraka, the we'll
known Greek grappler of Washington.
Rob Roy Mackey, the Washington man,
who stayed an hour with Frank Lynch,
of Baltimore, last week, will be the third
man to tackle Link.
Shad Link agrees TO pay each man Y
for every. minute he stays on the mat
As Link is in fine form at present, the
exhibition tonight is sure to be an ex-
citing and interesting event.

AINSMITH AND SHERRY
HERE FOR SPRING TRIP
Nationals Party Now Numbers Five-Doc Gesslel
BakS at Playing First BaSe-Other Gossip

There is nothing I care to say for
publication. l haven't even talked with
Manager McAleer about it, but every
thing will be Strengthened out you can
bank on that. I am pulling hard for
Manager McAleer and the Washington
club. They will get the best have, and
1 am confident that / will hit up to my
cld-time form this season."
The big fellow has been spending the
winter prospecting in oil wells. He says
he has not been able to strike it rich
yet, but when he does he will follow Doc
Reisling's example and quit baseball for
good.
Outfielder Doc Ralston. whom the fans
remember well, reached Washington yes
tcrday from his home, in Bellevue, Pa
AS stated in the foregoing, he came down
on the same train with Doc Gessler, and
cid not discover the fact until he ran into
his old team mate as both were leaving
the station.
Ralston passed the winter practicing
dentistry with his father. He managed
to build up a pretty fair practice, and
hopes TO be able to some day assume
all the responsibilities of the firm.
Il am in fairly good shape right now" :"
said Ralston to the writer. For the
ercise in the shape of long walks, and
couple of weeks will put me right
l know that there are a lot of men out
for that left field job, but 1 am going
to be reckoned with, you can bet, and
expect to do a whole lot better than last
season
The fifth member of the Nationals now
here awaiting the signal to march
through Georgia is Fred Sherry, who
last year pitched for Youngstown, of
the Ohio and Pennsylvania League.
Sherry is right-handed. weighs 175
pounds, and stands six feet. Last season
was his first in organized ball and he
looked so good to Kid EIberfeId, who
was sent there on a scouting trip for
Doc Meyer, that the Kid recommended
him to the Nationals, who drafted him.
Sherry's right name is Schuerholz. His
home is in HonesdaIe, Pa, and he is a
graduate of Villanova College, where he
pitched and played the outfeId for the
college boys.
4 am mighty glad of the opportunity
to try out with the Washington club"
said Sherry to the writer. Everybody
tells me that Manager McAleer always
gives his new recruits a good, fair trial,
and that is all l ask. I think / can
convince him that l am good enough for
the American League-at least L feel
that confident
Other members of the club are sehed-
uled 10 arrive to-day, including Second
Baseman Bill Cunningham. who left
Schenectady, n. Y, yesterday afternoon.

Benjamin Briscoe, president of the United

opinion. keep pace with the East. The
result of the New York and Chicago au-
tomobile shows convinces me that busi-
ness men will throw aside horse delivery
systems as never before.
IF queries made by them at the shows
may be taken as an indication of their
attitude, the good name of company
will be a great selling asset. The busi-
ness man wants to buy from companies
known to be firmly established. He wants
to feel that he will be properly taken
care of throughout the life of his truck.
This has been proven by the Alden
Sampson Manufacturing Company. More
than 40 trucks have been sold to men
who never saw them.
