Pleased With Atlanta.


Pleased With Atlanta.
Manager McAleer is we'll pleased with
Atlanta as a training place, and may
decide to come here again next season.
eThe boys are as far advanced right now
as they were when the season opened
last year. That speaks pretty we'll for
Atlanta as a training ground,
Manager McAleer still gives no sign
of letting any of his youngsters stay
here with Otto Jordan's outfit. Jordan $
outfielders do not look very good, and
he could use Miller and Swain. Though
nothing has been said, there is a chance
that both or one of them may be left
here when the Nationals go North for
the opening of the American League
season.
Walter Johnson started poorly yes
terday in the practice game, but let out
after the first session and succeed
in tanning twelve batsmen, a welcome
performance thus early in the season
Elberfeld, Gessler, and Street alone es-
capped whiting. The Nationals, with
Bussey pitching steady ball, could only
tie the Critters 6 to 6. The regulars
have yet to defeat the second team by
gQDd playing, an error giving them one
victory.

stiffness in his shoulder, and had Milan.

Poor Field Causes
Games Postponement

Owing to the poor condition of the
Brookland field the game scheduled for
this afternoon between Catholic Univer-
sity and the Naval Medical School base
ball teams has been postponed.
The regular season of the Catholic
team will start Saturday. when the nine
plays Maryland Agricultural College.
The Aggies are reported to be much
more formidable this year than last,
when they were so badly beaten by the
Brookland team.

PLANS COMPLETED
FOR NEW DIAMOND
Will Be Moved Back to In
crease Field at National
Park.

Plans were today completed by sur
veyors for the new diamond at National
Park.
The new stands, which will be re-
enforced concrete. will be considerably
west OF the site Of the old wooden struc-
ture, which means that the diamond
will be moved back. thereby increasing
the length of the playing field.
In the past the batter has faced al
most due east. but the diamond will be
shifted to such a position that the bat
ter will next summer bat to the south
cast. The line through the diamond
will be from the extreme northwest to
the extreme southeast angle of the
fence.
New Stand Arrangements.
The new stands will take in all of
the bleacher space now occupied by the
uncovered stands in right field, and the
projected scheme calls for the erection
Of the new bleachers in the space be-
tween the present center field fence and
the building line on Fifth street, which.
although owned by the club, has never
been put TO practical use.
Entrance Plans Complete.
Plans for the entrance have also been
completed and approved by the District
authorities. There will be a two-story
building at the entrance, the upper Sec
tion of which will be devoted to offices,
while the lower will be taken up by the
box offices.
An innovation will be a system of
raising turnstiles. At the finish of the
game, instead of dragging away the
mechanical arrangement and opening
gates, the whole affair will be lifted to
the second story of the entrance build
ing, and the crowds will pass through
without obstructionS.
The foundation work has been practi-
cally completed, and it is now but q
question of a day &or two before the
structures will &commence to rise.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 22.-'I think

Chase's Brains.

IF Hal Chase can make his team
play the kind of ball he plays thu
year" says Kid Elberfeld, every team
In the American League is going to
have trouble winning from New York.
Chase Is one OF the most daring play
ers in the game, and I'm not forgetting
Ty Cobb, either, when 1 say It.
''Chase is one those men who will try
a trick time after time until It. wins.
You may fool him the first time, ard
the second, but his third try fools you
for you don't think he will attempt 1t
again.
9:If Hal can get his team playing that
kind of ball there's going to be some
fun all around the circuit. With the
pitchers going right the Yankees are
going to make a great stab for the pen

The Kids Imitator.

It happened while all the players were
visiting at a farm near Atlanta, and
were sitting in a rustic arbor watching
a flock of ducks running around in the
mud. Suddenly one OF the brakes start

Look at Kid ElberfeId running out
