manager OF the Jersey City club, of the
Eastern League, has taken charge OF
the Nationals young twirers in the
capacity of expert coach, and is ex-

succeed in the big league. He ar
rived today from Charlottesville, Va,
where he has been coaching the Uni

the past three weeks.

of the moosers at Donnellson, Iowa,
recently, but met with no response,
except fiery one from Lawyer Bal

Jones was displayed and Jones was
