enough, and as is usually the case when
Mr. Murphy advocates anything, his pro-

1t is hard to understand why fellow
like Murphy should make SUCH strenuous
efforts to make himself unpopular with
every one identified with base ball He
seems to go out of his wai- t. take the
wrong end of a proposition.>O~th the re-

among his own colleagues, but with the

would not have been improved by allow

the game. While there are some weak
spots among the owners of clubs in the
two major leagues, it must be admitted
that on whole base ball is in the
hands of a fair set of sportsmen who
have the best interest of the sport at
heart.

McWATT TO BALTIMORE.
Monumental City Golf Club Gets
Former Local Professional.

Robert McWatt, for the past year golf
professional at the Columbia Country
Club. has been chosen over a large list
of applicants from men throughout the
country to act in the same capacity for
the Baltimore Golf and Country Club, one
of the leading athletic organizations Of
the south.
Although he has been in communica ton
with the Monumental city Representatives
for some time, McWatt received official
notification OF his appointment only yes
terday and today is in conference with
representatives of the Baltimore organ
ization. He has practically reached an
agreement and his trip to Baltimore to-
day is mainly for the purpose of looking
over the new course and making tentative
plans for the future.
No definite decision has been reached
as to a probable successor to McWatt at
the local club but 1t is understood that
the name of prominent western man is
receiving most earnest consideration.

aker in Danger Of Injury by Working Too Hard in Early Games
INITIAL WORKOUT.
Nationals Squad at Hot Springs
PLAYS First Game of Season.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark, February 10
The splendid weather of yesterday forced
the American and National League play
ers here on to the diamond. and for over
an hour the practice was fairly fast and
satisfactory. Two picked teams faced
each other, but no accurate score could be
kept. as the players either refused to bat
or stayed in the field, just as they
thought the work suited them. Tom
Hughes and Dixie" Walker did part of
the pitching, but Walter Johnson en-
ioyed the sport from the grandstand with
the big crowd of onlookers.
George Mcbride, Germany Schaefer,
Milan and Conroy worked out very well,
although Capt. Mac kept continually yell
ing at them to take it easy All the
bows appeared to be in excellent health
and their preliminary work here before
going to Atlanta will do them world OF
good.
Bill Otey arrived yesterday afternoon
and will Join the squad at work today.
Games between picked teams will be
PLAYED Saturday and Sunday and Walter
Johnson has promised to pitch for one
of the teams in the latter game.

INNOVATION PLANNED
FOR BATTERIES AT c. u.
Hi|Itoppers Will Adopt Double
System and Will Send Pitch
ers Ahead on Trips.

With the battery candidates showing
up as we'll as they have been since the
Inauguration OF indoor work, the coach,
captain and manager of the Georgetown
base ball team have practically decided
that ii will be possible this year to
make an innovation in the way of ma
nipulating the pitchers and catchers so
as to have them for use when they are
at their best. The mode is simply to
keep a double set of battery men, and
to use them as such.
In this way it will be possible to send
the probable batteries for game away
from home on the trip the day before
the regular team leaves, thus giving
them further rest after their journey
At the same time a formidable battery
will be kept at home for the game the
day before the contest on foreign
diamond and the intrinsic strength of
the nine will Ice practically the same
in both places This. plan, it is believed,
will eliminate all chances of a pitcher
being out OF form because of night
trip on the train or because Of being
under possibility of playing the day be-
fore.
The battery men are showing up in
far greater abundance than was at first
expected, and the outlook for both the
DOx ana the DackStOp or the nine being
cared for excellently this year are very
bright. Yesterday the number out was
big increase over Monday, Whine there
are still some who have not appeared as
yet.
The ease with which the pitchers are
working in the gymnasium has prac-
tically persuaded Capt. Sitterding that it
will be possible even to allow the fielders
and basemen to utilize the floor for in
door work. Accordingly he is considering
now the advisabilty of calling for the
other candidates as soon as possible. This
will probably be next week If he can
gain the approval OF Prof. Joyce to such
a move.
Bill Nanniman, an erstwhile prom
inent candidate for the Blue and Gray
track team and ex-coxswain of the Prep
crew, has forsaken Georgetown for Cor
nell. He goes to the Ithacan institution
in order to try out for steersman on the
Red and White eight. his reason for
leaving the local college being the aboli-
ton of rowing here.
Bunny Feenan, the varsity center and
catcher at GEORGETOWN. intends to enter
business in Salem after his graduation in
June. He will thus become connected
with Charley Mccarthy. the old Blue and
Gray end. who is coaching the high school
| foot ball team of that town, and will
probably assist the latter In teaching the
linemen few Of the stunts of the sport

There are but two scheduled double
headers-bCth in oBston. One was made
necessary to avoid an extra trip of the
Brooklyn club to Boston and the other to
avoid a conflict. None OF the eastern
clubs plays two series in succession with
the same club. This will do away with a
