KAHOE TO COACH
CATCHER AINSMITH
McAleer Feels Confident Th Competent Training Is All
That Youngster Needs-Laoie Cares for His Eyes.
- Another Tribute to Ban Johnson.
BY THOMAS KIRBY.

The transformation of Eddie Ainsmith,
Washington catcher, from one of the
most promising receivers that has bro
ken into baseball in a generation of
players to a star of the first magnitude
will be the assignment of Mike Kahoe
next spring while the Nationals are in
the South
When Ainsmith reported here late last
season, McAleer turned the youngster
over to the veteran scout, and most of
the refinement in the backstop's work
was the result of the coaching received
from Kahoe.
Most of the major league managers
have always made il a habit to do all
the coaching themselves when they get
hold of a player with such promise as
Ainsmith, but so much confidence has
McAIeer in Eahoe that the scout will
be held responsible principally for the
development of the young man.
When the Nationals are at Atlante
there will be but little for KahOe to
do elsewhere, but as soon as the Club
starts northward Kahoe will leave to
make the rounds of the colleges in the
hope of unearthing some material that
will be available by the 1st of July. II"
will also take a look at several majo"
league clubs in their Southern quarters
an may be able to harpoon some play
ers in these camps.
Since quitting basketball in New Eng
land, Ainsmith has done little strenu-
ou6 work so he expects to be able to
report in March, after having taken on
considerable weight as a result of his
long rest.
President Hedges. of the st. Louis
Browns, is quoted as telling Bobby
Wallace that there will be no inter
ference of any sort in the managers
directing the club. That's what they
all say.

Returns to Washington.


Harry Dodd, who will be remembered
as a baseball and football player al
Eastern High School a few years ago.
is back in this city for a two-weeks
visit.
For the past twelve months Dodd has
been connected with the Savannah
Morning News, and has so well filled
the position of sporting editor that he
has received offers from several other
papers in Georgia.
Dodd is Of the opinion that the quality
of football in the larger colleges Of the
extreme South is of a higher standard
than that of this section, but declares
he has not seen any baseball players in
either the South Atlantic or Southern
leagues that are ripe for trials in the
majors.

Loss to Gophers.

A University of Minnesota man who
Is connected with one of the Depart

that he was not greatly surprised at
the announcement from Minneapolis to
the effect that Jim Walker. the all
American Iineman, will quit the Gophers
to enter some large Eastern institution.
He says the trouble dates back to the
game at Ann Arbor last fall, when
Walker and Coach Williams had a rum
In over the manner in which the player
was working his position. only the In
reference of other players kept Walker
from leaving the field right then, so my

Lynch's stand proper.

Umpires in the National League will
not be allowed to follow out the scheme
of going South with the ball clubs in
order to get into condition before the
opening OF the championship campaign.
This is one OF Ban JohnsOn's pet ideas,
but President Lynch, Of the older cir
cult. declares he will oppose the plan
because of the danger of the arbiters
and PLAYERS being thrown too much to-
gether in the camps Of the Southland.
think Lynch is right and. If his
unpIres ask for ante-season work. he
can simply assign them to college and
school games. where they may obtain
all the practice they need.

Missouri Representative Uses Attack
as introduction to Eulogy
of Senator Reed.

Washington, d. C.-The conference
report on the amended campaign
publicity bill passed the house by the
overwhelming vote of 2S3 to 27. The
bill now will go to the president for
his approval.
During the debate Representative
Rucker of Missouri, chairman of the
house %conferees, characterized former
Governor Folk as a "lawbreaker be-
cause he failed to file his campaign
expense account with the Missouri
secretary of state" Mr.. Rucker did
not stop there, but added that David
R. Francis and Senator Stone were in
the same class, having, upon the ad-
vice of distinguished lawyers" omit
ted filing statements of their campaign
expenses.
After having paid his respects to
this trio of Missouri Democrats, Rep
resentative Rucker delivered a glow
ing eulogy Of Senator Reed, who, he
said, did file a statement. In order
to keep the record perfectly straight,
Mr.. Rucker added, there was some
controversy when he ,(Reed) should
file it, but he did file it within the
time mentioned in the law"
Mr.. Fuckers statements in this con
nection obviously were not relished by
other M~issourians on the floor. They
were invoked by the denunciation OF
some unnamed individual from a
, section west of the Mississippi"
