Although Not Strong With Hughey

Players.
By SENATOR"

Despite the reports from Detroit that
waivers have been received from every
club in sahe American League on Davy
Jones, 6utfelder, and Charley Schmidt,
catcher. President Tom Noyes today
said the Washington team has not
passed up its rights to this pair of
players. Whether Washington will
make an effort TO land either of the two
Is as yet undecided, but If they could
be obtained. 1t is not unlikely that bid
would be put in.
According to common report both Of
the players mentioned are none too
strong with Hughey Jennings, but they
are good enough to remain in the
league, and even should Detroit be will

Manager McAleer will give him fare

Mackmen Impress
Spectator as Being
Ready for Giants

While it is a pretty difficult PROPOSE
ton to attempt TO size up the condition
Of a ball club when the Individual play
ers are in their citizens clothes,> never
theless II really is a treat to take
look at that collection of champions
housed at the Arlington.
The strain of half-year campaign is,
of course, expected 10 tell on even the
brawniest Of the Drawn, but under the
skillful handling of that wise old owl.
C. NJ, the Athletics, man to man, look
in as prime condition as any ball club
that ever drew up at the wire with the
laurels of supremacy.
The worst dread that usually haunts
a manager as the day of reckoning ap-
proaches is the fear that worry may de-
tract from the general efficiency of MS
men, particularly the young element.
but unless looks are misleading Connie
Mack has little to fear from that angle.
Expect to Beat Giants.
The club absolutely is ready and the
feeling of satisfaction that the Giants
will be trimmed is so thoroughly en-
gendered among the Athletics that it
almost borders on overconfidence
Today and tomorrow the club will
work out :ts destiny without the expert
guidance of its pilot, as Mack has re-
turned to Philadelphia to arrange the
general scheme of handling the crowds
that are expected at Shibe Park. In his
absence Harry Davis, right bower. is in
charge. The Athletics principal OBJ
jeCt lust at present is to pass the CEN
tury mark in victories and as they al
ready have ninetv-eight to their credit,
they hope to be able TO make 1t an even
hundred ere they leave Washington.
Before leaving for Philadelphia yes
terday Connie Mack met McAIeer, and
the pair reached a final agreement as
TO the relation of Washington to the
series of exhibition games between the
Athletics and the All-Stars. The fail
ure of the National Commission to make
definite announcement of the opening
date of the big series. makes it impos-
sible to figure on the All-Star games.
although Mack said positively that
Washington will get two of the con-
tests, which would indicate that If the
start of the worlds games is early,
Richmond may be forced to be satisfied
with a single exhibition.

Two years ago the Athletics toured
the West playing games against a
team composed of National League
stars. Among the latter were Larry
Doyle. and Snodgrass, of the Giants.
Both wero loud in their praise of th..
Mackmen, and Doyle especially pro-
claimed to all that the White Ele-
