]. Causey Morris has been elected acting

Augustus. who did some clever running
toward the end Of the season. is a likely

Morris will. of course, be a member of
the team. The old star Splinter. Duckett,

desire to devote all Of his time to his
studies, and as he Is suffering from water
on the knee, will not be a member of the
team. His loss will be keenly felt, and
the team considerably weakened.

Kid Elberfeld will now be sold to the
highest bidder The Washington club
would never have gone into negotta-
tions for Elberfelds sale to Chatta-
nooga had it not been led to believe
that it was pleasing the player by
placing him there. But since his sal
airy demands are such that the Chatta-
nooga club cannot meet them the deal
has been called off. and Manager Crit
nth will now sell Elberfeld to any club
that wants him, regardless Of whether
Elberfeld likes IT or not.
Elberfeld drew $3.50 per season from
the Washington club. which paid New
York $1,000 for his release. When
Griffith decided to cut Elberfeld loose
he was DESTROYS of placing him where
he wanted to go. This was supposed
to be Chattanooga, but, of course, nc
one supposed that the Kid would de-
mand 81 500 from a minor league club
for his services. Griffith considers the
demand outrageous. and he will make
no further efforts to please Elberfeld
but will sell him to the first club that
is willing to pay the price. and let
Elberfeld make whatever arrange

gardless of whether the season is young

cannot tell by the figures in his contract
how much money sc is going to draw dur

he delivers. Griffith believes in encourage
ing young players and rewarding them
just as soon as they show him that they
can deliver the goods, and this system
should have the effect of giving the young
sters an incentive to do their best at All
times.
Judging from the line~ups of the vari-
Gus big league teams. the drafted and
purchased youngsters will have the
chance of a lifetime to make good in 1912.

Had the Washington club adopted 9
policy Of developing young players several
years ago. instead Of paying out fabulous
sums for WORKOUT material to which II
was forced to pay enormous salaries. the
chances are there would be a better bal
team representing this city now. THAI
the salary list OF the local club has beer
far beyond what artistic achievements OF
it's team would indicate is a fact Sc
much money has been spent in paying ex.
orbitant salaries to lot Of players who
were not helping the team that the treas
ury could not stand heavy drafts for the
purpose of experimenting with youngsters
1t has been noble and philanthropic
work that this club has done. For years
it has made itself the last haven OF the
veteran players. and they have not come
here at reduced salaries. either.
Under the Griffith regime q change has
taken place. He has cut out players who
were drawing salaries of stars and deliv-
ering nothing but past regulations. He
proposes to give the young fellows a
chance. By the change of system thou
sands of dollars in salary have been saved
and the club will be in better position to
compete with its rivals in the matter of
experimenting with youngsters from this
out. Heretofore 1t has been the rule that
when a player was going back on
some other team he was placed here to
put in a few years at a high salary which
he could not earn elsewhere. Fortunately
there has been an awakening and the
player who fails with some other team
will have to drop into the minors in the
future without getting stop-on privileges
here.
In instructing his scouts only to invade
the lower class minor leagues and pass
I'D entirely the class A organizations,
Griffith seems to have struck upon the
proper plan. A glance at the players who
are making good in the big leagues will
show that only very small percentage
of them come from the high-class minors.
Most of the stars of the majors sprang
from the remote teams which were seldom
heard of. This was because the average
class club resruits its team from major
league cast offS-that is to say, the play
ers who have not proved up to the major
league standard or have deteriorated go
into these teams, thus eliminating the
possibility OF youngsters being developed.
What is more. whenever it happens that
such a club develops a good ball player
his price Is boosted SO high that unless
the player proves great star q small
fortune is lost in purchasing his re-
lease.
Griffith expects to find his youngsters in
the bushes, so to speak. He wants his
scouts to pick up every kid who has
speed and shows natural ability. even
though he may not know the way around
the bases. He hopes to develop these kids
fast youngsters who have future before
them.
Reward for youngsters who make good
REGARDLESS of what their contract may be

Members Of the Harvard corporation have

with the undergraduate management Of
sports. A move against foot ball was
