Interesting speed trials were held yes
terday to determine which of the Ma
tionals was the fastest getting down to
first base. and little Clyde Milan proved
to be the fleetest Of the bunch Doc
Halston was second. and Dave Bunting
third. Germany Schacfcr was lust a
fraction of a second slower than Bunt-
ing.
Manager McAleer is making a spe-
Cialty OF speed trials this week which
have heretofore not been attempted. be-
cause the physical condition of the men
would hardly warrant il. but from now
on. during batting practice, the men will
not only be required to hit the ball out
but must lay down bunts and try to
beat the ball to first base. The advan-
tage OF this practice is perfectly obvious
and the benefits derived are threefold, as
the batter not only has n chance to i'm
prove on bunting, speed, and a quick
start but the pitchers get a chance to
practice fielding bunts, on which many
of the Nationals are lamentably weak
Walter johnson pulled the prize story
after dinner yesterday. It has to do with
Doc White, of the Chicago White Sox,
and is narrated as follows: 'T was pitch
ing against Doc White one day last fall,
and we had had a short talk before the
game. Each of us needed his hits and
as the standing of neither team was in
canger for the rest of the year. Doc and
I agreed to put the ball straight over
TO each other when at bat
The other players were wise to what
was going on. and when first came up
to bat the White Sox fnfield played way
back to the grass. looked at the first
ball and swung hard on the next one.
Honestly. it simply knocked Harry
Lords hands apart and raised a big
lump on each Of his forearms. Lord
came running in, rubbing both sore
spots at once, and boiling over. At that
he could hardly keep from laughing.
II kept my part of the bargain, and
when Doc White came up to bat handed
him one in the groove. 1t was Just
where he liked them and he met the ball
1t whistled past my right ear
ike rifle bullet landed in right center
and bumped up against the fence. After
that we decided to call it all on"
The Atlanta baseball club is making
desperate attempts to get manager Nc
Aleer TO part with Infielder Dave Bunt-
ng. 1t seems that the regular short
stop on the Atlanta team has refused to
'eport because of some salary trouble,
and Manager Jordan believes that Bmt-
ng will fill the bill.
McAleer told the writer that Bunting
ooked altogether too good to him to be
urned loose in the Southern League and
hat he intended to carry the youngster
through the season.
Bunting is easily the best of the new
ecruits, and the Washington fans are |
ure to like his actions.
