Griffith Closes Deal for
Sale of Midget

d VIRGINIA NINE NOW
WORKING OUTDOORS
Local Team Recruited From
-. Widely Scattered
Sections.
BY SENATOR"

| Norman Elbcrfeld was today sold to
the Chattanooga club Of the Southern
League.
This mornings mail brought a letter
To the Headquarters of the washington
team in which Bill Smith, the South
ern manager, expressed his willingness
TO reopen negotiations, and naming a
price he was willing to pay for the
veteran player.
Griffith Immediately wired that the
terms made would be satisfactory, and
at noon he received a telegram saying
that thu deal was closed. Elberfeld's
new home is about ten niles from Chat
tanooga. and it is believed that he will
have no obiection to playing in that
city.
Several minor league clubs we're anx-
tOus to get Elherfeld as manager, but
they were unable to meet the price
asked here and the salary demanded
by tho player. That Elberfeld will be
a manager before he eventually quits
the game Is an impression that Is wide
spread.
Griff Is Happy.
Clark Griffith was a happy individual
today when he received word from
Charlottesville that the weather there
10 now so mild that the Virginia squad
has started its outdoor work already.
The cold spell here got the manager
fearing that perhaps he might encounter
cold weather when the Nationals move
TO Charlottesville in less than a month,
but the latest report is reassuring.
Some people have been claiming that
we made a mistake in not pitching our
camp further South, but II those col
lekians can get to work on February
Z see no reason why we should en-
counter adverse conditions there in a
month" This is the view the manager
now takes of the situation.
Griffith's mailing list shows that the
respective homes of the recruits which
the Washington club has gathered to-
gether are about as scattered as those
of the older members of the team. The
dozen recruits Griffith has just ordered
to report at Charlottesville come from
eight different States. .
Two From Iowa.
Moeller, the outfielder, and Akers, the
pitcher, come from Iowa, the former
spending his off season as a farmer
while the latter is holding down a job
with the telephone company at Du-
buque. Illinois contributes two players
in Foster, the infielder, who lives in
Chicago, and Guy Johnson, the young
pitcher, whose home is in Vandalia.
Three PennsJlvanians are among the
hopefuls-ShaRks, Musser, and MATHS
coming from that State The homes of
the other younger members of the squad
are as follows; Joe Boehllng. Rich
mond, Va; Jack Flynn, Providence, r.
J.. Eddie Gagnier, Detroit, Mich, and
Al Sheer. Kewanna, Ind.
Fred Fitzgerald. the new ground keep
er, was at National Park early today
making an. inspection OF the places
Wnere changes must be made in the
playing field. Fitzgerald is of the opin-
lon that he will be able to start the
work before the Nationals leave here
for Charlottesville, so all will be in
readiness for the exhibition series early
In April When not engaged at Ma
uonal Park, Fitzgerald will direct the
rebuilding, Of the diamond at George

Jack Lelivelt is to be given a try-out
at first base by Manager Camel, of
the Rochester team. Lelivelet played

Hugh McBreen denies that his Jersey
City club is to be farm for the Bos-

'Skeeter' family" says Hugh.

light the Cleveland fans, is signing I'D

master was thrown from horse re-
Gently, and his knee was badly injured.
Arthur Bues, the third-base recruit
from Seattle, is expected to deliver the
fancy article for the Giants the com

average of 1853 and made twenty-seven
home runs.
