By WILLIAM PEET.

Manager McAIeer. of the Nationals,
will to-day place his order for uniforms,
two sets of baseball toggery, one set for
the home games and the other for the
road
The travelling uniforms last year were
of light gray with navy blue trimmings,
caps. and stockings to match with a plain
black letter "W'' on the breast of each
shirt. The home uniforms were white
with blue trimmings, and these colors
will prevail during the coming season.
Each player will be equipped with a
heavy sweater, either plain blue or gray
in color.
Most of the Washington fans have
never seen the Nationals in their road
togs, and the team to a Washingtonian
away from home would look totally diff
ferent not only in the matter of equip
ment, but In action. Many baseball
writer's declare that club playing on
foreign grounds shows considerable more
life and ginger in its practice than is
apparent at home, and this in some
cases is true.
Equipment for a major league baseball
club is no small item. For instance, the
Nationals will order two sets of uni
forms, figuring on about twenty-five
suits to set, and as these uniforms
cost at the lowest SO a suit, this item
alone represents an expenditure of $3.50,
not to mention sweaters, and last sea-
son the club paid something like 81
for each sweater.

hint that Altizer'S good showing may
have been due to his nearness to Jimmy

with teaching AltiZer more than the lat

To this may be added the moral ef-
feet of being supported by so intelligent
thinker as James.
However, on form, Altizer appears

he intended quitting he would write me
something about it,"

ball. and adds that there tis a place for
