for his own good that he take a
week or so of to quiet his nerves.
He has had ample rest now and saws
that he is about ready to do a little
work for the team. AS soon as he
says the word he'll be sent back into
the lineup.
With Cunningham once more in the
game, Kid Elberfeld will return to
third base, and then the old swift
working infield will be on the Job once
more. Conroy is fielding as well as
any man on the team. but isn't hitting
very hard. That's the only thing bad
about Comics work. On the bases he
is fast. and uses his brains, but with
the stick he is weak"
Manager McAleer is certain that Cum
ningham will yet become & real star in
the big league. and doesn't hesitate to
say so. He thinks the bad start he
got this season, due partly to his loaf
ing during the winter, has had much to
do with the lads poor showing How

faith in the Schenectady boy, and even
now tells how Cunningham fans with

GESSLER IS RIVAL

. STEALING CONTEST
Akhoond of Swat Hopes to

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June ID
"Zeb' Milan, generally considered the
fastest man and the best base stealer
on the Nationals, has a rival No, his
rival is neither Red" Walker nor
"Gabby' Street, but. Doc GessIer, the
we'll and favorably known Akhoond OF

stolen-base record higher than Mflan's.
and he is working with might and
main to achieve that glorius end.
If you'll notice those averages from
week to week." said the genial saw
bones today. you'll notice that this
team has just two real base stealers.
Milan is the other one.
''E 'Zeb' is leading me now by four pill
fered bags, but I hope to catch up by
the end of the week. He can beat me
running in a sprint race, but il isn't
always the sprinter who gets the most
stolen bases.
Will Convince Knockers.
-. y used to be quite a baserunner a
couple of years ago, and 1 can't see
why l shouldn't get into the game
again. Everywhere 1 read that it is
speed, speed, and only speed that makes
successful ball players today. In a
sense that's right, and I'm going TO
e. SHOW whole lot of knockers that
am there with the speed.
Il don't recall ever seeing Mike Kelly
stealing base, but have always heard
that he wasn't a particularly fast man.
However, he used to steal bases better
than many a faster mn.
When / was in college and played
on the nine and eleven / was rated rs
fairly fast, and, by gorry, Lizzie Brooks,

yes, 'zeb' is leading me right now.
but just see where the next man is
behind me. In another week l hope 10
be tied with Milan or even pass him.
l know how to steal bases, and, fur
thermore. I'm going to steal a few, even
II l get pinChed."
.- So there you are, you fans, there you
have the energetic DR.. Harry Gessler.
Akhoond of Swat, confessing that he in
tends to make Milan hustle for the base
stealing honors this year.
= Rivalry Might Aid.
Now it may be well for Jimmy Nc
tions in other lines among the rest of
his outfit. You never can tell, perhaps
three or four spirited contests like this
where they would ike to be in the first
half of the race
To date Milan is credited with steal
ing fifteen bases. Gessler has grab
bed eleven right from under the eyes
of the enemy. Elberfeld follows with
seven. Gessler is making hit with
Washington fans this season by his
hard clouting. but they should watch
the husky outfielder when he gets on
the bags, for then he does his very best.
Gessler would rather steal a base now
adays than make home run.

Rating the college mines.

Herbert" OF the New York Tribune
one of the best authorities on inter,
collegiate sports. has just announced his
listing Of the college teams Of the East
on their showings during the season
just closed. His rating follows:
First division-Prtncetol Brown, Am
herst, Yale, Cornell, Williams, Dart
mouth, Pennsylvania, and Harvard.
Second division-West Point, George
town, Syracuse, Holy Cross, Fordham.
Columbia, Annapolis, Tufts. Union,
Trinity, New York University, La
fayette, Stevens, and Rutgers.
It seems to me that as long as
Georgetown succeeded in winning from
Yale, Cornell, Pennsylvania, and West
Point, and tied Princeton, the Blue and
Gray might be moved up several posi-
tons without any great stretch of the
Imagination.
With the exception of the lose to Vir-
ginia. the campaign was one Of the
most successful experienced by George
town in several years.
