ished reading it ST Hike to hear that sort
OF confidence from young player: 1t
means much for him. It would be great
luck for us II Cunningham displayed the
same form this year that attracted at
tention to him during the first fall that
he played here. Cunningham writes me
that he started out with Esmond, who
will cover short for Cincinnati this year.
and / only trust that he Will be as good
a ball player
There will be no change made in the
Washington uniforms They will be the
home and gray with blue on the road.
For years Griffith has had a penchant
for solid blue uniforms, but the ill luck
which has followed all his ventures with
teams wearing this color decided him to
give them up. Griffith. like most base
ball men. is superstitious. I'VE wore
blue uniforms in New York in 1904, and
the team had fighting chance for the
pennant right down to the finish" said
he. 1--WE gave them up the following
year and finished in the second division,
but came back with the blue in 1905 and
were contenders. The players would not
wear anything but the blue because they
thought it was lucky. and I had the
through with the blue now because
doubt whether it brings good luck, and
We will have white and gray, with blue
trimmings, the coming season"
1t would make world of difference in
the Nationals il Cunningham should be
able to hold his own at second base It
was pity that he was not played
regularly last season. for the chances are
that he would have greatly improved by
such work. and would be a good ball
player for this year. Griffith does not
propose to leave any doubt about Cum
bingham. II he shows signs Of being
capable he will be kept on the bag. and If
not he will not be carried very long. II
Cunningham gets SO that he hits the ball
more frequently he is going to be one of
the most dangerous hitters in the league,
for when he hits it is generally for a great
distance and these cleanup hitters are
most valuable to team. Cunningham
is only a boy. and there is no question
about his fielding and with proper ham
ding he is almost certain to show i'm
proved form with the stick. 1t would
take a great burden of Griff's mand to
have Cunningham make good, for it
would mean that at least two infield
positions were well taken care of, as
there Is no doubt about Mcbride holding
his own.

A system OF espionage, in which Mike
Kahoe will be the central figure, will b.
In vogue this spring. Scout Kahoe is te
visit all the training camps Of the Ameri.
can League during the month OF March
and thus get line on the young players
that are being tried out by these teams
In this manner Manager Griffith hopes
to have q correct line on all the young
sters, SO that when the time comes to cut
down the players to the regulation num-
Der of twenty-five Griffith will know
those to pass up and those to hold up.
Griffith realizes that he ID not In q posi-
ton to let any likely looking players 60
back to the minors. He figures that for
the mere waiver price he may be able to
pick up few players who will help his
team. Kahoe will start out on his new
scouting duty just as soon as the teams
begin to start south. He will be in con
slant touch with his manager and keep
him informed on what his rivals are do
ing. It is figured that within q month
he will be able to have fairly good line
on the young players on other teams.
Every year some of the strong clubs:
strengthening, turn back young players
who have ability and would help the
weaker teams. and 1t is to get some of
these that Griffith has introduced the
system Of espionage on the training camps
Of the other teams.
The signed contract Of Bill Cunning
ham, accompanied by most pleasing
letter. reached Manager Griffith this
morning. This makes the seventh player
under contract and every mail is expected
to add to the list
Cunningham's letter made hit with
Griffith, The youngster says that he is
well satisfied with the terms of his con-
tract, because he could not expect an
increase on account Of not playing up to
his form. He says that he is satisfied he
will earn the position of regular second
baseman this year. because he proposes
to be in better condition than ever be-
fore. He reports himself as being down
to playing weight right now and says
that the rubber shirt will not have to
be brought into play to fit him for his
work.
That kids letter has the right ring
to it, said Griff with a smile, as he fin

doubtedly the best attraction in the
league as far as pitchers go.
But Washington has even a greater
card" than Johnson. The gentleman
referred to is Herman Schaefer. As a
base ball comedian Schaefer has It over
the entire field. Herman In funnier than
Arlie Latham ever thought a man could
be. The German is q natural comedian,
always pleasing
In St Louis there Ia no star. Bobby
Wallace a few years back was a won
derful shortstop, and always q popular
drawing card, but Bobby is no longer the
performer who can do the things that
bring fans to their feet and cause deafen-
ing cheers.
Looking over the field, the team that
gets the money is the team with the best
individual attractions. Detroit has the
best drawing team i'm the league, simply
because of the individuality that IL pos
sesses. Still, Detroit Is not nearly as
great team as the Athletics. An evenly
balanced base ball organization like
Mack's will win pennants and world
championships hut q team with the indi-
vidual stars that Detroit has will pile UP
box Office receipts and thrill the crowds.
1t is the individual and not the team
that the crowd follows.
