That the large number OF candidates
has been one of the elements which have
been holding back the DEVELOPMENT OF
the team has been recognized for some
time. The fact, though, that almost every
one out has at some time or other shown
much ability has been the reason for
keeping the whole squad intact as long
as possible. To keep it together longer
now would be foolhardy because of the
closeness Of the big games.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTA, Ga, April lit clouded
up quickly Monday evening and rained
hard all night and early Tuesday morn
ing. thus preventing the game between
the Shamrocks and the Regulars yester-
day. 1t stopped raining about time for
the boys to go to the park. SO they went
out and dressed. Just as they got on
the field it started again, and all kinds
of practice had to he called off. Under
the smokers though there is about $50
yards that the men could use and use
it they did for sprinting races. leap frog
and wrestling matches, getting up a good
workout in this manner. They tossed a
few to one another and romped around
generally, SO the day was not wasted
much after all Jeb Milan and Ed Ain
smith showed their heels to the field
in most of the sprint races. though Wild
Conroy and Germany Schaefer showed
flashes of speed, which with a good
start nosed them in front in a couple
of the Sprints. The feature race of the
morning was between Joe Quirk and Bill
Cunningham. Joe got away in the lead
and was never headed, though Bill was
picking him UP fast at the end. Bills
sore leg prevented him from getting a
quick start, and the Nationals trainer
had a few strides on him before the
second sacker got under way. Bill is
getting down to weight fast now. But
his lame ankle. which he turned in prac-
tice one day last week. is bothering him
a trifle.
Returning to the hotel the boys sat
around the lobby and told stories. while
Conroy, Schaefer and Elberfeld kept
every one ccnvulSed with laughter In
their daily three-cornered kidding match.

McAleer denied this. but when he was

he would eventually turn him over he

the Atlanta fans guessing to who the
man he leaves here will be, though those
that are supposed to be in touch at all
with the situation are unit in declaring
that Miller and Corbin. with the possibil-

Germany Schaefer is about himself once
more, and when the games between the
Shamrocks and the Regulars are resumed

Hal Chase is trying to work himself

pitcher to the Atlanta club. the reason
for Chase's liberality is that he wants Il

Manager Jordan stated last night tina,
Corbin was the man he was after; thai
he wanted neither Miller nor Sherry; tha
Corbin was the man above any from his
big league affiliation that he wanted. sc
evidently the young outfielder has made
a wonderfully good impression on the To-
