It seems that only the base lines were
raked and these have been rolled down
and are now in perfect condition. For
the first week the players Will not IN
dulge in much practice, the pitchers DO
ing some tossing and the others merely
warming up SO that all that is required
is dry spot to work out on. BY the
time the entire team reports 1t Is pe-
lieved that the weather will have ad-
vanced sufficiently to allow the usual
batting and fielding practice.
Trainer Mike Martin left for Charlottes-
vile this morning. He will get every
thing ready for the arrival of the players
Sunday.
Larry Doyle, captain of the Giants, is q
graduate of the Springfield Three-l

He was mighty good investment Tor
the Springfield club, which had pur-
chased him but half a season before Ine
previous year Springfield had turned
player over to Mattoon, with the privilege
of selecting in the fall any player II
wanted in exchange When IL came time
to make his selection Kinsella, the
Springfield magnate, decided to choose
veteran pitcher. Belt, the owner OF the
NATION club, however, advised him
differently.
Take Doyle on my say-so," said Belt,
land he will prove the best investment
you ever made. He does not stand very

Kinsella followed Belts advice and
cleaned up $500 in the middle of the

An attempt Is. to be made to foster
swimming in the south Atlantic section
to greater extent than it has ever been.
The means to be taken at first are 4he
holding Of a big interscholastic meet this
spring. The events for the schoolboys
will be held in Baltimore in the pool OF
the Baltimore Athletic Club at the same
time that the south Atlantic champion
ships are contested.
April Il Is the date set for the south
Atlantic championship meet, and 1t was
decided that instead of holding the jun
Tor events 1t would prove much greater
attraction and benefit swimming in this
section to a greater extent IL a purely
interscholastic meet were carded. The
scholastic events will be held April II.
Swimming in the south Atlantic section
has never been fOstered to the extent
that have other sports, and it Is thought
that the game can be built UP through
interesting the schoolboys better than
in any other way.
The proposed meet will be the first Of
the kind ever held in this section. and
should be a success. The scholastic events
will be open only to those schools which
come directly under the jurisdiction of the
South Atlantic Association.
It is practically certain that more Of the
high schools will be represented in the
National Guards meet than has ever be-
fore been the case. Last year the only
school having entries in the games was
Tech. and 1t did not have its best men
running. This season three Of the insti-
tutions have already signified their inten-
ton to place teams in the events. Busi-
ness, Western and Tech are sure to enter
eight or ten men each. There have been
rumors to the effect that q relay race
would be arranged to take place between
Western and Tech, but nothing definite
has yet been done.
Mcclure, who is to do the starting IN
the Georgetown meet, is said to be in q
class by himself as far as that part or
running a meet is concerned. 1t is said
of the New Yorker that 1t is practically
impossible to beat the gun while handled
by him, and that he has the knack OF
watching bunch Of men lined up on a
mark developed to greater extent than
has any other man in the country.
There is no question that the relay
teams in the Georgetown meet will be
more evenly matched than in any meet
heretofore this season. The system that
the management has devised of having
the men come within certain classes is
sure to be productive of results.
From the amount of interest that is

who have passed before him, his chances
for coming back are but slim.
Reports from St. Louis are to the effect
that Ban johnson has decided that Mig
Clarke must become the property Of the
Washington cub. but he advises Owner
Hedges to dispose Of him In some other
way, for the sake Of harmony in the
league. So far as the local club Is con-
cerned. 1t matters not whether Clarke is
turned over to 1t or not. for arrange
ments have already been made to dispose
Of him, once he becomes the property of
the transaction is Hedges, who has SIM
ply added another enemy to his string.
for Griffith vows that he will never have
any further communication with the st.
Louis magnate.
Barring accident there is no reason
why the Cleveland team should not be a
factor in the coming pennant race right
from the outset. Harry Davis has a
cracking good bal team and it would
calculations and finished at the head Of
the list. Davis surely ought to be more
competent to handle the team than was
George Stovall, his predecessor. because
he has been the first lieutenant of the
greatest manager In the game, and must
have absorbed much during his stay with
Connie Mack.
What is more. that Cleveland team is
well balanced, has strong pitching STAN
and enough star hitters to assure the Of
fensive strength necessary to make a win
ner. The best feature Of the Nap team
lies in the fact that all its pitchers are
youngsters just coming into their prime,
SO that the chances are Davis pitching
staff will be star one for several years
to come.
That John McGraw is none too confident
as to the strength Of the youngsters he
has picked up is indicated by the fact that
he has about decided to play Harry Nc
Cormick, a veteran. regularly in his out
field. Mccormick was out of the game
last season because he does not like 1t,
but he has been persuaded to take up the
spangles again and is making good In the
training games. Mccormick is a player
Of much ability, and the fact that he is a
natural hitter gives him good chance to
take the place of Murray In right field.
for since the latter went through the
worlds series without getting anything
that looked like base hit he has been
placed In the doubtful set.

Judging from the number Of rumors
that are started in New York involving
Hal Chase in some sort OF deal. the
suspicion is created that the Highlanders
would not hesitate to part with their for
mer manager IL a suitable deal could be
arranged. The fact that Chase was de-
posed as manager and will be expected
to take orders from Wolverton Is not an
ideal condition, and Wolverton undoubt-
eddy realizes this fact. But 1t would not
be an easy matter to trade Chase and
get his value IN return. Some started the
story that Chase was to come to
Washington for Walter johnson, but OF
course, that Is out of the question. John
son is a much more valuable player than
is Chase. A team might struggle along
with a comparatively ordinary first base
man and make good. but its pitching stan
is Of much more importance.
There Is no question about Chase 8
ability as a bail player. He is undoubt-
eddy the greatest first baseman the game
has ever produced, but for all that 1t II
questionable If he is going to be OF any
value to the Highianders for reasons
stated.
About the only thing that the proposed
series between the Athletics and Giants
in Texas will bring about is to help de-
fray the expenses of the training trip
of the two teams. Artistically. these
games will prove nothing, for neither Of
the teams will be In shape this early
in the spring. nor are the players apt
to strain themselves in an effort to win.
But 1t will draw the people to have the
teams which met in the worlds series
last fall clash again this spring. On the
face of the proposed arrangement 1t
looks much too mercenary to be OF help
to base ball.
Like most defeated champions. Abe
Attell has made the usual comeback for
another chance, though he should realize
that KiIbane Is his master. The chances
are that If he meets Attell again he will
win in a more decisive manner. for
while Kilbane Is constantly improving.
natural Of, course. that q fellow like
Attell who has enjoyed the fruits Of a
titleholder for years. should not want to
relinquish 1t, but. like all the champions

amateur base ball is due to have its most
successful season In this city. there Is
every likelihood that the amateur sea
son here will surpass any ever seen
since the Inauguration of the present
system. Managers and players alike are
awaiting the beginning Of the season

winning combinations. The officials OF

It is rumored that another amateur

pennant.
The Georgetown and Virginia basket
ball teams are scheduled to meet to-
morrow evening in q contest which Will
decide the championship of this section
or the country, the Naval ACdueHy team
being excepted. Just which five will
come out of the fray victorious is uncer-
tain. as the two appear to be much more
evenly matched than when they played
here before. Comparative results OF
games played against other teams show
the two quints to be very nearly of the
same strength. The small margin which
Virginia seems to have over Georgetown
In the games that have been played on
the Charlottesville court is due more or
less to the fam. liarity Of the Orange and
Blue players with the hall In which the
contests were played.
On the Arcade floor the chances are
that Georgetown will be favored in the
same way, but hardly to the same ex-
tent.
The contest is sure to be the most bit
terly fought of the season, whether or
not 1t will be the closest, and it Is prob
able that the largest aggregation OF
spectators that ever watched Il contest OF
the kind in this city will be present.
