Conway, supposed to he on OUtfielder,
has turned in some star plays at short
stop. and has earned a longer trial. IL
he doesn't make the Nationals this sea-
son he will prove a good man for some
other club, and Manager McAleer is
certain TO keep string on him.
Almost the same thing may be said of
Warren Miller; this portsider hits the
ball hard and runs fast, two attributes
needed on the Nationals. Manager Nc
Aleer will think long before letting him
get away from him.

that he would have the team back here

the players might become acclimated

campaign.
The fire not only leaves the club with

HIGHLANDER SEES
NATIONALS WORK
Scout Arthur Irwin MarveIs Corbn Stick Art and the
Good, Lively Playing of Other McAleer Men, Who
However, Are firing of Practice,
By SENATOR"

ATLANTA, Ga, March 1S.-Arthur
Irwin, scout for the New York High
Ianders, watched the morning practice
of the Nationals today, thinking 1t
might be well to cast his eye upon some
of the youngsters allied with the NC
Aleer tribe.
The practice was short and very fast,
ell the regulars getting their turns at
hat against Ctey, Sherry, Meyer. and
Gray, and Irwin seemed satisfied that
Jimmy McAleer had picked up some
fast recruits.
That lad Corbin hits as IL he knew
how to hit" was the remark of Irwin
as the rookie sent one on a line to
center.
The Nationals are guessing what will
happen to their spring exhibition sched-
Iue now that the grandstand and bleach
ers at home have disappeared. Very
few of them care TO remain here an
extra week, and they are not slow to
say so.
Training Is Monotonous.
The training is becoming monotonous,
and were Il not for the practice games
every day it would be difficult to keep
the players interested In their work.
From now on Manager McAleer will de-
vote most of his attention to improving
the stick work of his players. He will
send every pitcher able to throw ball
to the slab and make the batsman stand
up to the plate until they have landed
on the pellet.
I'VE can't get any too much hitting,
saws the Nationals boss, ''and these fel-
lows are going to practice morning.
noon, and night. We're going into this
league season very much in earnest.
We don't intend dropping any more
games for the lack of a single at the
proper time"
The coming week may see some of
the youngsters sliding back to the
bushes. Manager McAleer refuses to
discuss this situation, but Mike kahoe
leaves Atlanta Wednesday and expects
to be in Washington next Sunday. He
has given his opinion of the youngsters
and has nothing more to do here. Nc
Aleer will find places for those recruits
not quite fast enough for the big show,
and they will be allowed to express
their preference as to location.
Bids For Bunting
Otto Jordan, manager of the local
for Bunting, but met with a fiat re-
fusal. Bunting has made good with the
Nationals and will be taken north with
them as substitute third baseman.
Tom Hughes, the veteran twirler will
never look better in his whole career on
the diamond than he does right now. He
is scheduled to open hostilities today
against Otto Jordan's Atlanta Southern
League outfit at Ponce de Leon Park.
Dolly Gray was due to work on the
slab, but good weather coaxed Man
aGer McAleer 10 Use him yesterday in
the practice game, and so Hughes will
have the opportunity he had desired so
much.
Hughes derived much benefit from his
trip to Hot Springs, and the first day
he worked here he was using speed,
slow balls and all kinds of curves. He
is in excellent condition, and his head
work will cause the Crackers a lot of
trouble today. Hughes drop ball is
practically unhittable. and 1t is working
just to suit the elongated twirler.

club is going after those first division
teams. Says Jimmy McAleer: THE
whole lot Of them cannot beat us when
a little hitting behind them. Hughes
looks good right now, and that makes
part Of my troubles lighter.
Manager MCAleer is in favor of trans
ferring all the spring dates, making the
circuit of the Western clubs before re-
turning TO Washington. In that time,
he figures, a new stand could be built
and the fans could see the club in an
excellent park. Financially the club
would be benefited il 1t opens the sea-
son in Boston, which always draws
huge crowds, and McAleer may suggest
this to President Noyes. Yesterdays
practice game indicated the lineup Of
the Nationals as II may be when the
season opens. Schaefer was in left
Gessler in right, and John Henry at
will be the regular first-sacker of the
team this season. his work here has
been so uniformly good.
Shamrocks Play Well.
Although weakened by the drafting Of
Schaefer and Gessler, Conroy's outfit
called the Shamrock's, played a tie
game in nine innings against the regular
National team. Each team got four
hits an two runs, and it was nip and
tuck from first to last. The Sham
rocks wore green ribbons in honor Of
ST. Patrlck's Day.
Dolly Gray and Harvey Bussey, for
the Shamrock's, pitched midseasou
ball, mixing them up and displaying ex-
Cellent control and headwork. Busseys
splitter worked beautifully; four hitsmiths
hit nothing but air. For the Nationals
Bob Groom was class for five innings.
Doc Meyer, who followed him, was a
little unsteady, his arm not having be-
work. However, the Shamrocks couldn't
hit Meyer when hits would count.
John Henry's fielding was the sensa-
ton, though "Wid" Conroy and Charlie
Conway got into two amazing stops.

Penn is hopeful.

Some idea Of the spirit of optimism
that is pervading West Philadelphia
concerning Pennsylvania chances in
the intercollegiate regatta may be
gauged from the following from the pen
Of John P. O'ConneIl, the well-known
rowing expert:
The magnificent Pennsylvania)
eight that displayed such spirit last year
has lost but one man. and with the nu-
merous candidates on hand that one
position will be easily filled. Coach
Ward will be able to devote the greater
part of his time 10 developing a fast
four-oared shell, something that Penn
sylvania has not had for several wears
The crew that will represent the Red
and Blue youngsters at Poughkeepsie
VIII likely be one of the husslest aC-
gregations that ever wore the Quaker
colors.
Taken all in all, it looks as If this is
the year that Ellis Ward will surely
throw jolt into Coach Courtney whose
big red crews have won with such mo-
notonous regularity in past years.
Pennsylvania has the best wishes of
every other college in the race, for all
the colleges are agreed that Cornell
must be beaten. One thing is certain:
Cornell will not take all three races at
Poughkeepsie this year. Cornell will be
lucky to win one, judging from the pres
ent outlook"

Lowe could not get enough engage

Dusseldorf, Rhenish Prussia, May
17.-After career of six weeks, the
Deutschland, latest of the models of
Count zeppelin's Inflated dirigibe bal

The finish of the airship was less

The accident occurred as the Deut-

men and four women, had seated
themselves comfortably in the cabin,
the crew were at their posts and 200
men on the ground chung to the guide

Just as the airship cleared the shed

THE FIRST AERo-TAXl
viii Carry Passengers from Lueerne
at a Fixed Kate a kilometer.

Paris, May 17-According to the
Temps the first aero-taxi will be put
into service in few days at Lucerne.
The innovation is due to the enter
prise of the Compagnie Trans-Aerien-
ne, which has just sent to Lucerne a
biplane fitted with a taximeter. The
aeroplane will be piloted by the avia-
tor Erbster, and will carry passengers
on cfoss-country flights at so much
per kilometer registered on the dial
It is calculated that the aero-taxi
will ultimately become a far cheaper
conveyance than the streets taxicab

able to follow in the air, where, fur
thermore, trouble owing to congested
traffic is non-existent.

PRAYERS FOR AERoNaUTIcs.

Reports Of further astounding
achievements in aeronautics are now
becoming nearly routine stories in
the record OF the worlds news.
Abroad the general public has pro-
gressed to terms Of intimacy with the
flying machine that are difficult as yet
% appreciate in America. In France
there was held recently convention
TO consider the dedifcation Of special
laws to govern the use OF the al.
Some OF the most prominent barris-
tiers OF Europe were present at that
meeting, and the possibilities Of the
use Of he aeroplane BY criminals. its
use in time Of war. and the need or
precise determination OF claims in
civil suits In cases of trespass and
damage we're discussed as present
and everyday occurrences.
The latest intrusion OF the aero
plane comes from England. In the
regular service Of the Church Of Eng
land aud in the Protestant Episcopal
Church Of America there are prayers
especially read in behalf Of persons
in peril. One Of these is for persons
n danger through travel By land or
sea. The heads Of The Church OF
England have now under considera-
ton the adyisability of adding, to this
prayer the words "and in the air"
This question has been placed un-
officially before the Episcopal clergy
of this country II is argued that &C.
cideais 70 aslators have now become
so frequent that this contingency
should receive regular recognition in
the prayers OF he church.
