Bill Kenworthy, the speed demon
of the Denver club of the Western
League, recently purchased by Clark
Griffith, is expected to appear in to-
morrow's game against the New York
Highlanders. He Is here and will be
seen in practice today at Florida aV-
enue.
The new acquisition is a chunky in
dividual who looks to have plenty of
smoke in his legs. His base running
has been good enough to lead the
Western League and when he gets
into the game the fans will probably
see some flying around the sacks, if
he can manage to reach first.
Charlie Moran, bought from Chatta
nooga in the Southern League. will
not report till the race has ended for
the Lookouts. He will join the
Climbers on the road and may be fit-
ted into left field for trial.
Gallia Like Wood.
Melvin A. Gallia, the Texas cowboy.
worked out before yesterdays game at
the ball park and Immediately created
a strong impression on Manager Grif-
nth. The lad Is tall, loosely built, fast
on his feet, and Is rugged His pitching
motion is smooth, and when he gets the
ball away he does so with a snap close
ly resembling the delivery Of Joe Wood,
the Red Sox star.
Young Gallia will hardly be tried out
this season. He has been given a lot
Of work with Kansas City recently, and
Griff wants him to have a rest and
show his PAGES gradually. However, he
may be seen in some game already lost,
Griff wishing to see how he acts under
fire.
He gave the Climbers a lot of trouble
yesterday with his fast ball. It comes
at the batsman with peculiar dip that
is puzzling, and many kind words were
heard for the lad. He Is a protege Of
Nick Altrock, who has appointed him.

want him to be run over by the electric
cars.
Counts On Nationals.
Tim Murname, sage of baseball scrib-
blers, says that he expects the Ma
tionals to beat out the Mackmen for
second place. Inasmuch as Tim is con-
nected with the Boston Globe, there is
excuse for his failure to consider the
Climbers as pennant possibilities.
Il look for the Nationals to beat out
the Athletics for the reason that the
youngsters will be delighted with a
position as high as second place." says
Tiny. Il don't mean to say they are
out of the race, as BoGton has more to
fear from the Fox than from Connie
Mack. Griffith's work with the Nation
ais has proved Il remarkable perform

Griffith joilied the veterans, taught tbs,
youngsters, and filed the team with a
lighting spirit that was delightful The
youngsters outplayed themselves at
times. Their road work was the big
gest surprise. They are bound to keel
up their hustling to the end and second
place would be 4 great honor"
Jack LGliVelt's debut as a Highlander
was highly successful. He whaled out
four singles and triple in the double
header with the Naplanders and took
care of FIVE fly balls with considera bic
grace. He will be seen here tomorrow,
playing center field for the H!ghlanders
against the Nationals.
We Lose Schulz.
If Clark Griffith ever thought he ha
a chance to get Heinie Schulz, Savan-
nahs crack southpaw, who pitched and
won a doubleheader last week, he has
lost our. The Highlanders have pur-
chased him at fancy price and he will
