form He has had college experience
and has a long and excellent sand-lot
record in his favor
Dave White will probably start the
game for the collegians, and may be sue

RALSTON MAY PLAY WITH
ATLANTA THIS SEASON
Manager Jordan of Cracker Team, Needs Outfieldel
and Is Pleased with Work of Akron Slugger

Tom Hughes and John Henry were the
only men excused. The latter's hand is
still bothering him, but he declares 1t
will be all right tomorrow, and plans to
cover first base for the regulars Hughes
will not attempt to pitch until Monday.
Several of the Chicago National play
ers were out at the park to see the boys
in action, and the comments expressed
would have pleased Washington fans.
They were all loud in their praise OF
Somerlotts fielding and the work OF
Clyde Milan.
Kid Elberled was on the job at third
to-day and his presence put the usual
life and pepper into the other members
of the team. When Elberfeld lays off a
day the pepper is gone and the team
shows it.
The Chicago Cubs have with them this
season a bush league twirler named
Toney, obtained from Winchester, Ky.
where he pitched something like twenty
five games and won them all. He is 6
feet inches tall and rangy. and the Cubs
TO man think he has more speed than
any finger in organized baseball
Joe Tinker said after dinner that Toney
had Walter Johnson beaten to FRAGILE
when it came to speed. and the Washing
ton players Immediately took up the cud-
gel in Walters defense.
'All right. boys. come out to the park
this afternoon and | will get Toney to
warm up and show what he's got: you
will then be convinced that / know
whereof I speak" shouted Tinker
This bit of news spread like wildire
and every member of the Washington
club started for the park bright and
early to see the Cubs speed merchant
in action.
Tinker kept his word and Toncy
warmed up with Johnny King. The
Washington players were disappointed.
for every one of them declared that
Walter could throw a swifter ball with
his left hand than the Chicago wonder
exhibited.
CLYDE Milan said: why, this fellow
can't shoot 'em over any faster than

the eve of the American League open
ing, one ball player will be left behind
to show the good people of this town
" hat he can 90 in the Southern League,
and this man will be Doc Sam Raj
ston. the former Akron slugger. who
was purchased outright by the Nationals
last August.
Otto Jordan. manager of the Atlanta
club, told the writer this morning that
he needed one good outfielder to COM
rlete his club. and that he thought
Ralston would fill the bill. Manager
McAleer refused absolutely to discuss
the matter. but it was learned tonight
that he was willing to part with Ralstou
providing he had some sort of a string
on him. and could recall the player if
necessary.
When MCAleer and Noes came to At
lanta last fall to complete arrangements
for the spring training trip. tacit agree
ment was entered into by which the At
lanta club was to receive one or more
OF the Nationals youngsters. the player

while the Washington team trained here,
and as MeAleer's family will be here

the man he wants. Unless complications
of some sort arise. it is a 10 to l shot
that Ralston will play with the Crackers
Il is summer.
McAleer does not want to part with
Ealston for keeps. but is willing to
either loan the player tc the Crackers
this season or else turn HIN over to them
with the understanding that he is to
have the pick of the club when the 1911
curtain drops, and one Of these arrange
mentS will be entered into.
Ralston was purchased last August
from Akron. at good stif price. upon
the advice of Scout Dick Padden, and
while he looked the part Of a real major
Lacquer. did not show 20 advantage in
Ban Johnson's circuit.
While with Akron last year. Ralston
played in 131 games and showed the fol-
lowing averages:
AR R Fl. B. 3R. HE>SB SH. Az.
Batting ~ 70 Is II - . IS
Fielding. ...................,,. Isl 80 Is ~
Ralston took part in twenty-five games
for the Nationals last season. came to
bat fifty-three times. scored four runs.
made fifteen hits, and collected a batting
average OF .205.
lntre Is no uouot III Ife tlInd Oh Ihdhd-
ger MCAleer that just one more year in
the minor league will about ripen the
youngster for fast company, and ho
thinks the Southern League a good gar
den in which to plant Ralston for future
development.
Manager McAleer this morning decided
at the last moment not to put the rcGu-
lars up against the Shamrocks in base
ball battle. as he wanted to give his
pitchers one more day of rest. so the
time was devoted to batting and fielding
practice, in which every member of the
squad was given a good. stiff workout.
