Senator Burton asked Mr.. Ismay IL he
had any conversation with passengers on
the Titanic about the speed Of the boat. :
II suppose you refer to the interview
with Mrs, Ryerson," Mr.. Ismay said.
THE only thing that remember saying
about the speed of the ship was saying
that it was my intention on Monday II
everything went well on deck and below
to try out the Titanic for five or six
hours to see what she could do. That's
all I remember of saying about 1t. OF
course, Monday never came.

TRAINING CAMP NOTES.

The veteran Jack Ryan has not yet
signed to coach the University OF Vir-

Herald to-day, but probably will close
with the college management tomorrow.
Billy Lush. the Montreal manager who
Is here with his pitchers and catchers, is
having hard luck already. Only about
half of his players have signed their
contracts, and the Montreal management
VIII not allow anybody to report until
the player has signed. Lush would like

Latham's value 10 the club as a draw

to be included IN the twenty-five ball
players allowed manager after May Is,
and McGraw drew in so many valuable
youngsters this ySar that he finally had

Walter Arlington Latham celebrated
his ffty-third birthday in camp at Mar

MCBRIDE LEADS
ALL PINCH HITTERS
Jim Delehanty, of the Tigers, Says
Nationals Captain Is King
of Them ALI.
D.ri,I To The Washington Hcnld-

Special to The Washington Herald.
Monroe, La, March 2L-Here is some
expert testimony on pinch hitting from
that renowned advocate Of the timely
wsllop, James Delehsnty. No man In
baseball can speak with more authority
on this subject. and George Mcbride, to
whom Del hands the honor of being the
best pinch hitter in the circuit, has every
reason to throw out his chest
in my opinion, George Mcbride, of the
Washington club. is the most dangerous
pinch batter in This league" said Dele
hanty. 1T seems to me that all his
wallops come at a time when there are
runners waiting TO score. Somebody men,
toned that George always hit well on the
Detroit grounds. but that is because he
seems TO be breaking UP so many games.
As a matter of fact, Mac doesn't pile up
a particularly large average in Detroit,
but so many of his safeties do some
damage that he gets the reputation oi
being a sIugger.
Another man who Is a very dangerous
hitter in a pinch is Jack Barry. Of the
Athletics. He has about the lowest aver
age Of anybody on the club. outside of
the pitchers. but Just the same l would
rather see anybody else I'D there with the
sacks loaded and some runs needed TO
win or tie.
Barry doesn't do much hitting until
the time comes when II is counts, and
then he is likely TO lace one a mile He
drives the ball with a lot Of power when
he meets 1t, and. usually he meets 1t in
the pinches.
Returning to the subject of Mcbride.
] consider him one great shortstop. There
isn't a better arm in the world than his,
and do not remember his ever making a
wild throw in all the time that / have
played with and against him. He can
cover ground too. and works well around
the bag"

NEAL BALL SURE.
Holds Most Important Position on
Maps Inf1eld.

Cleveland. Ohio, March 2I.-Neal Ball,
who shared with Jimmy Callahan the
honors of the comeback championship"
of the American League in ISL, is in a
peculiar position with Cleveland. Neal
is not a regular, but he is as certain of
his job as is Vean Gregg.
Bail stars in the most difficult role in
baseball. He shines as a utility man.
Before the game he never knows whether
he will play second, third, or short, or
not at all. He may be called to bat with
two on and two out, or with the score
tied in the ninth. Or he may decorate
the bench during the entire nine innings.
But whenever he is called upon to do
anything, the hero Of the unassisted
triple play dives into the game with a
cheerfulness. sureness, and confidence
that few players possess He does the
hardest thing In baseball better. prob
ably, than any other. man in either big
league, and 1t is likely to be long time
before he wears other than a Nap uni

bits of Baseball.

Harry Davis expects great things of
Ollie Olsen. the giant swede shortstop OF
his Cleveland team. Olsen is very fast.
both in the field and on the bases, and
hit for over 800 last season.
Harry Wolverton is handling his men
very skillfully. according to Atlanta re-
ports, and the Highlanders promise TO be
formidable contenders for the American
League nag.
Bob Bescher showed the Atlanta fans
some speed Having been passed in the
fourth, he stole second, went to third on
the wild throw by Kerr. and then forgot
to stop there. and kept on coming for the
plate The Crackers were so startled that
they failed to get the ball home in time
to head him on.
Bobby Wallace, at St Louis, has re-
leased First Baseman Rowan. who hit

Browns Wallace thinks he isn't built
for q first baseman, despite his hitting
ability, and will give Kutina the Job.
Bob GiIks. the Cleveland scout, has

pare for an operation to have his appen-
dix removed.
Manager Harry wolvertol. of the New
York Highlanders, took a keen slant at
the Reds. who will battle with his club
in Cincinnati next week He said after
the game: Hank has a speedy team and
one that ought to be very strong in the
attack The club made an excellent show
ing for so early in the season"
The Cincinnati park will be strictly a
union park this season. President Herr
mann. who is a member of the Typo
graphical Union, insisted on this policy
during the erection OF the stands, and will
follow out this policy in conducting bust
ness at League Park the same as he has
done in the past

line UP against their old rivals, Swarth-
more, this afternoon. II the weather man
does not interfere. Swarthmore has never
defeated the Brooklanders. and they are
coming down this year determined TO
win one OF the games of the series.
The Red and Black team has not had
much of a chance to show its real worth
as yet. for. although 1t won from Balti-
more Polytechnic Institute Saturday, the
game was played in a drizzle of rain
and on a field far too muddy and slow
to warrant good baseball.
The lineup that will start the game
for the Brooklanders will be the same
as Saturday. In all probability Capt.
Greene or Tom Ryan will work in the
box. The game will be called at 4 o'clock.

Ralph Maths, the youngster
who was released by Manager
Grifith to the Richmond club. OF
the virginia League. returned to
his home in Philadelphia yester-
day, still declaring that he will
give up baseball rather than re-
port to the Virginia League club.
The question of whether Man
ager Grifith can send him any
where else is now up to Owner
Bradley. of the Richmond club.
as Maths was bought on part
payment. and had to be returned
to the Richmond aggregation IL
he was released. Maths has no
kick on the local club. saying
that he is perfectly satisfied with
the treatment given him. as he

the victim of circumstances.

PRISON LEAGUE

Leavenworth. Kans.. March 81
Three hundred men expressed a
desire to play baseball when
steps were taken at the Federal
prison here to reorganlze the
Prison League for the 1919 sea
son yesterday. They drew lots
for a try-out. Ball games be-
tween teams on which prisoners
only were allowed to play were
tried for the first time at the
prison last season, and proved a
success. The baseball league Is
an inducement for the men TO
keep the rules of the Institution.
as only model prisoners are al
lowed to play. This year the
white men. negroes. and the In
dians in the prison have teams
in the league.
