There is no longer any doubt about
Jimmy Callahan having come back. The

of his career for the White SoN and is

Jimmy Clabby. who has just returned
from Australia. claims the welterweight
championship. but stipulates that he will

Clabby has evidentally overlooked the

country is 142 pound ringside and that
he has no right to claim the title unless
he can make this weight. Making 14i
pounds at :; O'Clock. as Clabby suggests,
would probably allow him to enter the
ring weighing 155 pounds. This would
make him a middIeweisht and not quail

The managers Of the different teams
composing the amateur base ball ieasu es
of Washington are working hard to make
up the final roster Of their clubs the
heads of the different mines are working
this spring as never before, and every
effort is being made to corrall the Dest
talent to be found among the youngsters.
1t is doubtful il there is sin.le ball
player of any note whatever i'm the Dis
trict OF Columbia who has not at some
timef since the. first of March been ap-
preached in regard to playing en- one or
another Of the amateur clubs in enc or
the circuits which come under the juris-
dictiOn OF the amateur commission.
Many Of the teams have already COM
pleted their rosters, thanks to the untir-
ing efforts of the managers of those Or
ganizations. These club should be mighty
thankful of the fact that such Is the case,
as good ball players are becoming mighty
scarce now. 1t seems that even the nigh
schools have been raked and combed un-
til there is not a single man in scholastic
circles who has even a fair reputation
who is not under contract to some one
or two of the league teams. Those clubs
which have yet to decide on the final
to work In earnest to bring together a
bunch as good as some Of those which
have already been formed.
The coming week will probably find the
roster Of every team in the city made up.
Some of the clubs will start the season
with almost the same line-ups as those
which were placed in the fielh last spring,
but there are a great many which have
lost men, and others that will have to al
most build entirely new mines from the
new material. These latter are probably
the clubs which have suffered most in
getting together good team. In such
instances the managers are finding 1t
dificult to gather good players. as the
ma jority are either going to stick by the
clubs they were with last year Or else
have already signed up.
Some of those teams which have had
their rosters complete are noticeably the
best in the city. The Interstate Com
merce Commission. while a newcomer in
the Departmental League, has gotten to-
gether one of the best aggregations Of
ball tossers i'm the circuit. and should
| come near winning the pennant 1t was
done because Manager Stratton went out
J and got them before the other managers
! were fully awake to what he was doing.
! The Commissioners have their team al
most intact from last year, with the eX-
| ception of two additions. which will
greatly strengthen the team as an Of
| fensive unit. The Cornell Company is
! another club which is ready to start the
| season at an instant's notice.
Whether the other clubs will be able
! to get together bunch of ball tOssers
as good as those secured by the men,
F., toned teams remains to be seen. but
at any rate it is not going to be an easy
matter.

Defeats always bring criticism upon the
manager. No matter how well he may
have figured certain proposition. if it
fails to bring victory he is sure to be
charged with not having done the right
thing. McAleer just now is confronted
with q problem of how to arrange his
outfieid. Excepting Milan. he has no star
material for these positions, and in play
ing certain men he takes into considera-
tion all their good and bad qualities and
tries to get the balance on the right side.
Ii stands to reason that a man who is
held responsible for the showing of his
team. who mas spent twenty-five or thirty
years in base bail. is better qualified to
consider such matters than the casual OBJ
server or ardent fan. That is why teams
have managers.

the entire season. 1t is not an enviable
position to be in when none of your out
fielders satisfies you, and you have to
make constant switches for the reason
that these often work the wrong way.
The player who is selected to play today
may prove that he is the one to remain
on the bench. while the one that is not
playing may be the one VINO should be in
the game.

In ratine cloths for fall. There seems

colors reversible, or in plain colors
with plaid back are being shown.
Colors in cloakings are both dark
and dull. In double faced materials
we see such combinations as navy
blue and dark red, two shades of
Havana brown, sage green, and beige,
dull blue and mode, navy and taupe,
Bordeaux red and Oxford gray, olive
green and khaki
The newest ratine cloths are light
weight and thin also. The first of
these cloths brought out last year
were much heavier, and were found to
be clumsy, and, therefore, were not a
great success. This seasons offerings
are much thinner, and are, therefore.
