That North Carolina team that went up
to Georgetown yesterday had men all

the Blue and Gray smashed a long. siz-
zling ball that. looked good for a base or
two, right in that very spot was a Tai
Heel fielder. A lanky person named Lee
who pitched for North Carolina. seemed
to toss the ball in an odd fashion that
chimed right in with the outfielders'
method of work. and the result was three
runs for the southerners, with a dismal
nothing for Georgetown.
Billy Sitterding, fairly well known in
these parts as captain of the Georgetown
base ball family, nearly found the vacant
spot in the Carolina pines once or twice
and White put a special delivery stamp Cd
one that he found, but all to no avail
Taking it by and large. the game was a
good one except in the sixth inning, when
it appeared that Georgetown was rat.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

According to a report made by Scout
Kahoe to Manager McAleer. neither of
the two young outfielders whom he was
sent to look over and has been watching
for the past ten days is. i'm his opinion,
ready for major league 'npany. SO that
for the present at Ieas' , changes are
apt to occur in the Nalicnas out1eld.
kahoe, however, is a PERSISTENT worker
and. having failed to find what the team
needs on his present trip. he has changed
his field of operation and will try in other
directions.
The Washington club is willing to pay al
most any reasonable amount for the right
player or players, and Kahoe's instructions
are not to allow the price to stand in the
way Of getting the right man. The two
players Kahoe went to see, In his Opin-
ion, have good chance to be available
for this company at the end of the pres
ent season, but just yet they require
more experience and as he does not be-
lieve they woul1 help the team material
ly now he has passed them up for the
present.
1t is rather unfortunate that Manager
his dragnet at this early stage OF the sea-
son. II indicates shat he realizes the
weakness of his teasa even before 1t has
got fairly we'll startAd, and he is trying
TO DOlSCeF up his forces before tie CALI
paign has advanced much farther. The
difficulty of securing talent at this stage
of the season Is Of course we'll known, but
there is always a chance, and McAleer
does not propose to overlook the slightest
opportunity to better conditions.
That there has probably never been a
time when outfielderS have been as scarce
as the present is shown by the fact that
many Of the major league teams brought
back players who were supposed to be
through the big leagues, and are play
Ing them regularly.
OF this lot Jimmy Callahan is perhaps
the only one who is showing his old form.
The Boston Nationals, for instance, have
two men who were found wanting in
Cleveland several years ago-Goode and
Josh Clarke. This pair, while never con-
sidered ust quite good enough for the
American League is actually giving salts
faction in the National League. Tenney
counts them his most valuable men. and
yet both were allowed to go out of this
league without an objection. This does
not indicate that the other seven clubs
overlooked anything worth while, but
only goes to show how scarce outfielders
are at the present time.
Reports from Philadelphia are to the
effect that Walter Johnson is to pitch
today, but it is thought decidedly doubt
full here If McAleer will use Johnson to-
day in view Of the fact that he has not

shown good form this spring and has had
but two days rest since working his last
game in New York. When pitcher Is
not fit. work should not be crowded on
him. and johnson might be set back con-
siderably by being worked too much be-
fore he is fit to go the route. OF course.
If he is the only pitcher avaiiaoi there
will be no alternative for McAleer. But
it is to be hoped that Johnson will not
be pitched again until he is ready to de-
liver the goods.
The defeats he is suffering by reason
of his lack of form are very apt to have
aside from the danger there is of hurt
ing his valuable arm by forcing himself
at this time.
Two runs appear to be the Nationals
limit per game and. unfortunately, these
are not always the result of timely hits,
but more often gifts resulting from mis-
plays of the opposition.
'Zeb" Milan is keeping up his wonder
full fielding this spring. The crowd at
Philadelphia yesterday, according to the
papers Of that town. sat awe-stricken
drive with one hand while he was on q
dead sprint. The feat is considered the
greatest ever witnessed on Shibe Field.
No other fielder in the country has made
as many sensational catches this spring
as has Milan.
That Charley Street should be popular
with patrons Of the game in other cities
can be directly attributed to the fact
that Charley is a hustler. There is no
catcher with more action than Street.
Without discussing his ability as a catch
err and thrower, there is something spec
tacular about "Gabby's'' work behind the
bat that attracts attention to him at all
times. This spring he appears to be In
better condition than ever before and is
truly catching the game Of his life.
MANY young ball players do not have
a chance to prove their worth with the
big teams says Manager Tenney Of
the Boston Nationals. "They show
enough ability in the minors to warrant
scouts recommending them for purchase
or draft. but when they report for duty
they find there is SO much competition
that they must sit on the bench rather
than display their skill. Soon they are
turned back to the minors without
trial. and in many cases they become dis
couraged. Those are the very men i
want to build up my team. We haven't
had a chance to do much scouting, but
we are willing to profit by the other
clubs research. j can prove what /
say by pointing to Goode and Clarke of
my team. They have been with other biz
clubs, but have never had chance to
play regularly until now. Constant prac-
tice and increased confidence in them
selves have developed them into first
class ball players. and 1 would not dis
place them if l could. Experience is a
big factor in the success Of youngsters

OUARLES Wins THE
CR0SS-COUNTRY RUN
Armstrong Team Captures
Evans Cup Over Howard
and N Street High.

Yesterday afternoon the first cross

high school entries were given a medical
examination Dy DIR. Tignor and but one
athlete failed to meet the requirements.
Quarles Of the academy jumped into
the lead at the start and maintained it
throughout. The good time recorded was
due largely to the down grade over which
most Of the run took place and was made
by the athlete who a few years ago was
the first Of the colored boys to qualify
for a medal in the fifteen-mile race held
by the Post three years ago.
Campbell Johnson and Rayford Logan

DETROIT, April 27.-The Detroit pub
lie. the management of the Detroit base
ball club and the players thereof will all
be equally Overjoyed when Manager Jen-
nings has had an opportunity to look over
all of his young pitchers and make this
seasons selection. When this event has
occurred and the tWirlers get settled
down in to the regular swing of their
work the team will play even better ball
than it does right now, and there will
be fewer of those ninth-inning let
downs, such as Willett showed at Chi
cago Saturday and Lively gave at our
own ball yard yesterday afternoon.
Detroit is right now suffering from a
plague Of too many good pitchers! It's
a complaint that is positively unique in
the annals of local base ball. In fact it s
an affection which many other clubs in
the league would welcome with becoming
avidity.
