AUSTRALIAN DAVIS CUP TEAM.
Brookes, Heath and Dunlop the Trio
Selected to Oppose Our PLAYERS.

The latest lawn tennis news from
Australia is that Rod Heath and A. w.
Dunlop have been selected to defend the
Davis cup with Norman Brookes. 1t is
some months ago since Brookes was APP
pointed to captain the team, or at least
was invited to by the AusfralaSian Lawn
Tennis Association. and he accepted. 1t
was then stated that he was to have full
control of the defense and was at liberty
to select whom lie thought fit. For a
while it was thought he might try with
Heath and Parker. and when he named
Dunlop, who is now in England, there
was some surprise. Dunlop will leave for
home November 10 and expects to reach
Chrlstchurch, New Zealand, in time to
have little practice before the matches.
The arrangement of the antipodean
team now is that Brookes and Heath will
play in the singles and Brookes and Dun
lop will play in the doubles. Later on
there may be change, but 1t is hardly
likely. Dunlop has been playing In nearly
all of the English tournaments, his most
prominent win being the championship
OF Scotland from good company. 1t Is
not very easy to figure on the merits of
Heath, who has won most of the big
tournaments at home, but 1t is understood
that Brookes has been giving him some
coaching, and that DIR. Eayes has also
been taking a hand at the tuition. The
Australians have 1t doped now that
Brookes will win both singles and with
Dunlop will come out ahead in the
doubles. Three wins out OF the five will
keep the cup in Australia.

GRIFFITH SEEMS TO HAVE
INSIDE TRACK FOR POSITION
Question of Manager to Be Decided Within
Next Few Days Stovall Is Not
Being Considered.

can be- said on good authority that the
Cleveland manager has never been con-
Sidered for the place. There is. of course
only "A remote chance of jennings identi-
flying himself with the local club, because
Detroit cannot spare him, and the other
candidate for the place is Billy Murray,
late of the Philadelphia National League
club, though it is questionable if he could
be secured because of his connection with
the Pittsburgh club. RumOr has 1t that
Fred Clarke wants to quit the game, In
which event Murray would be offered the
management of the Pirates. which, how
ever. he is not apt to accept. for the rea-
son that with Clarke out of the lineup
the team would he very apt to slip down
the ladder and Clarkes successor would
have to stand the brunt of the team :
failure. Murray, on the other hand, ex-
pressed himself as being more impressed
with the situation here. where there is Il
bright future. for but little would have to
be accomplished with the Nationals to
make a showing which would be an
Improvement over previous years.
But Griffith is anxious and willing to
come here. He sees future here for the
reason that he would become club own
er. besides being manager, and this is
naturally what every base ball manager
after years of experience aspres to. 1t is
safe to say that the question of who will
manage the Nationals will be solved
within the next few days.

nERTINENT COMMENT

be patient when this plan is adopted
There is always the consolation that, nc
matter how poorly young team may do
1t is not apt to fall below the records OF
its predecessors Griffith. like all humans

he Is sure to become popular here. and
that is that he is hard worker, some
thing that has been lacking here for
couple of years. Ii there is anything In
the youngsters the Washington club has
secured Griffith will get it out Of them or
turn them loose. This thing of having
young players warm the bench to allow
the veterans to hold on to their jobs may
be grand display Of philanthropy, but
it is never going to develop winner.
The manager of successful ball team
has no time for social functions during
the playing season If he is DESTROYS OF
making a success of his engagement he
must give his attention to his team. 1,
requires something more than sitting or
the bench while the game is being played
Good ball teams are made during the
morning practices That is the place foi
experiments and driving out of players
shortcomings. A managers relations with
his club must be strictly along business
lines in order to properly inspire him and
his players.
In his day Griffith was one of the wis.,
est pitchers in the game. and 1t is to be
assumed that under his instructions sew
eraI Of the pitchers on the local team
may develop into real winners. Groom
and Walker. for instance. have enough OF
the deceiving stuff to make good any
where. but their fault appears to be in
not knowing what to do under certain
conditions. Griffith should be able to

any time it has the pitchers who can
hold the opposition down, and for the
present at least the Nationals are team
which must depend almost entirely on its
pitching to win games, for it lacks
the batting strength, which would make
ordinary pitching successful.
There has been more mis!nformation
handed the public on base ball during the
past few weeks than In any previous
years. All sorts of yarns have broken
into print none of which had the slight
est foundation. The story that George
Mcbride had been traded for George Sto-
vail was the takers entering wedge. and
this was followed by the story that Ban
Johnson was planning to send Ty Cobb
to New York. One deal Is just about as
probable as the other, and both stories

tale that Cleveland intended to sell La
joie to New York, where he would play
first base, while Hal Chase would be
shifted to second. That was a brilliant
thought. indeed. though unfortunately
Chase, a left-handed thrower. would be
seriously handicapped in that position.
Those six rainy days were responsible
for most Of these tales.

By J. ED aRILLo.

It is estimated that the actual cost OF
Connie Mack's team, which has twice
won the worlds championship. Is exact
" $500. Where other clubs have spent
fortunes in an effort to get winner,
Mack has been able to pick up some of
the greatest stars the game has develop
ed without paying more than the raliroad
fare to Philadelphia. SIS
That infield Of the champions. which is
considered one of the greatest in base
ball, cost Mack exactly $500. He paid
this amount for Frank Baker. while Col
Inns, Barry and McInnis cost him nothing.
He took Barry from the Holy Cross Col
lege team, Collins from Columbia and
picked McInnis off the lots. His outfield
cost but little more. and his three star
pitchers, Bender Coombs and Plank. were
picked up and developed by him without
any outlay OF cash.
There is but one instance on record
where Mack paid an exorbitant sum for
a ball player and in that case he seems
to have been stung. If reports are to
be believed. Lefty Russell cost him some
thing like 81 600, though most Of this was
paid in players to the Baltimore club. and
yet Russell has been an absolute failure
to date.
1t would be impossible to estimate the
value of Mack's players were they put up
under the hammer today. So far as their
earning capacity is concerned 1t must go
up into the millions, for. with two world S
remnants already won and the team at
it's best 1t is sure to be some years be-
fore it will start on the downgrade.
Mack's ability to get star players for
nothing cannot be attributed to luck. He
deserves all the credit for their develop
ment. He seems never to have made a
mistake in sizing up youngster. He
seems able to tell whether a recruit Will
develop the moment he looks him over.
and in some instances he has been forced
to carry such players for three or four
wears before they have verified his judg-
ment and made good.
Before Clark Griffith was ever consid-
cred as the manager Of the Nationals he
nut himself on record as being opposed to
trying to build up a team with seasoned
material secured from other clubs. He
said that it had been his experience that
there was but one way to change team
for the better, and that was by the In
fusion of young blood which can be de-
veloped.
II Griffith takes charge here 1t is to be
hoped that he will not undergo change
of heart. Washington has had enough
of teams made up principally of players
that other teams were glad to get rid OF
There is but one chance for Washington
to ever cut g. figure In base ball, and that
is by trying to develop youngsters. IT
takes time to do this. but the public Will

ing the majority of its ground gaining. il
being his excellent individual work which
undoubtedly won the Western game Tor
Central. Had II not been for Schoenfeid
Central would never have scored on

The fact that Western High has to play

today will detract greatly from that

best il is only an outside chance that
Western will win from Tech, and II the
game which the eleven IL scheduled 10
play today proves a hard one II is likely
that its chances will be even greater of
not winning. Western will have little
weight in its backfield. and this is the
main factor that will work against IL.
If any of the Western team Is hurt to-
day it would just about preclude any
possibility of winning the Tech game.
because of the fact that there is lack
OF capable substtutse to use in such a
case.

The Central High eleven in its game
Yesterday against Business showed much
more than 1t did against Western and
gave evidence of having improved a great
deal since it appeared against the Red
and White aggregation week ago. In
its defense, its offense and general all
round knowledge of foot ball Central
looked a whole lot better than IL did
against Western. While of course the
weakness of Business made Central look
much better than if it had been against
a team nearer its strength, il showed a
much better general knowledge Of the
game.
Although presenting the same lineup
against Business that il did against West
ern, Central showed that the time spent
since the Western game has not been
wasted by any means. There is no doubt
that at present Central looks to be the
best bet in the high schools series. al
though with Morris in the lineup the
Technical eleven will have a team much
to be feared by the Blue and White when
the latter faces it in the game that will
probably decide the championship.
Business failed to present much of de-
Tense against the open play of the Central
team. forward passes being worked re-
peatedly on it for long gains Business
at no stage of the contest was able to
break up the passes Of the Central aggre-
CATION, and time and again the ends and
tackles got away with the ball after re-
ce.ving 1t from one of the backs Tor long
runs The passes themselves covered
many yards for the Central eleven.
One Of the big factors. which are aid
ing the Central team greatly Is the TACT
that il has about the best quarterback
in the high schools. Schonefeld has been
doing some great work for the Central
eleven. Not only Is the Central lad run
ming the team well. and getting the most
out of his men. but he is also gaining
