Hopes to Find Youngsters Who Will I'm
prove for These Positions Eddie
Gagnier Latest Player to Sign.

The signed. contracts of George Mcbride
and Eddie Gagnier, the shortstop secured
from Lincoln. Of the Western League,
reached Manager Griffith this. morning.
Gagnier lives In Detroit, and writes that
he Is anxious to be given chance here
for he feels confident that he can make
good. Gagnier led all the sh0rtstops In
batting average Of .262. and stole TWEEN
ty-f1ve bases. While Gagnfer Is by no
means a youngster, he is said to be a
finished fielder, and stands at least q
good chance of becoming McBrfde's un-
derstudy at short field.
Arthur Devlin, the Washington boy who
for years has been the third baseman OF
the New York Giants, but was replaced
last season by Herzog, will very likely
be with the Boston Nationals the COM
ing season. "A deal is on whereby Man.
ager Killing hopes to secure Devlin.

does not relish the idea Of being sub

player of his disposition will not warm
the bench while there Is q chance OF his
playing regularly with some other team.
He would be willing to go to Boston
under the changed conditions. and II a
satisfactory exchange can be made he
will probably wear a Boston uniform this
coming season.
McGraw is anxious to get pitcher for
Devlin. II he does get any one OF the
Boston slabsters it will probably be Mat

sons. With the going OF Devlin.5 s'cGraw

QUINN GOOD TRAINER.
Harvard Man One Of the Best Teach.
ing the Game Today.

NEW YORK, January 15.-''Push your
elbow into the body more and balance
the weight in the palm Of the. hand"
said Billy Quinn, one of the track and
field coaches at. Harvard University, to
Pat" Mcdonald as he was about to put
the fifty-six pound weight during the
Amateur Athletic Unions indoor cham
pionship meet, held in this city recently.
Mcdonald followed his advice. and as a
result Pat tossed the sphere two feet
farther than ever before.
In the estimation Of the athletes Quinn
is one Of the best trainers in the ranks.
He has made study of track and field
games for the last ten years. He Is able
to don running trunks and shirt and
show the beginners just what he means.
He is not coach who tries to explain
verbally what he desires, but one who
is able physically to demonstrate proper
methods.

ORGANIZED base ball Murphy is merely
carrying out his adopted policy OF oppos-
ing every one in the game whom he can
not use to his own advantage. Whether
the members Of the commission Will give
his latest outburst cognizance remains
to be seen, but there is no doubt that II
ever the opportunity presents itself to
place barriers in Murphy's way the
chance will not be overlooked.
Murphy owes everything he has to base
ball. and yet he Is one of the club own
ers who is constantly attacking the game
and rejecting on It's INTEGRITY. We're
has on the American public a man OF the
Murphy type would have ruined the game
long before this.
John McGraw is right when ne says
that it is Just as important to watch what
the play ers eat as 1t is to have morning
practice. There is no doubt that many
players have ruined themselves by reason
of satisfying their appetites. Overloaded
stomachs are a serious proposition for
athletes, and it is found that the players
who are real stars do their playing on
empty stomachs.
It is a fact that the average manager
does not give the matter Of eating of his
players enough attention. This is particu-
larly true of young players who, coming
I'D to the big league where good hotels
are furnished, try to establish new eat
ing records, with the result that their

Death played havoc among prominent
base ball men during the past year. 1t Is
doubtful II the grim reaper ever visited so
many identified with the national game
as last year. Here Is a list of the promi-
nent men of the game who died:
DR.. Draper. organizer OF the original
Cincinnati Red Stockings; Lew Simmons.
a director Of the Athletic club OF the old
American Association Herman Wonder
horst, secretary OF the champion Balt-
mores Of 1894; M. Stanley Robson, own

lie. and just what is to be accomplished
by selections is hard to understand.
ion that Big Ed Walsh was the best
pitcher in the world he stepped on the
toes of the New York critics. who
naturally think that this honor belongs
to Christy Mathewson, and yet Donovan's
assertion is well based. There is no
games every season as Walsh. Though
he has had q mediocre team behind him
most OF the time, he has been In over
fifty games nearly every season. while
thirty mark. So far as value to a team
is concerned, Walsh really is in q class
by himself. Not only does he frequently
pitch three full games in a week, but he
others that some OF the other pitchers
have started.
If Walsh was with high class ball
team he would make a wonderful record
in the matter Of victories. but the Sox.
with one or two exceptions, have been q
rather poor ball team every season. Even
in 1906. when the Sox won the pennant, 1t
was far from being q team Of stars and 1t
was Walsh more than any one else who
was responsible for his teams victory
that year.
It seems impossible for Charles Webb
Murphy. owner Of the Cubs. to keep out
Of trouble. No sooner had he returned
from his trip to Panama than he is out
with proposition to dissolve the national
commission. He takes a slap at every
member Of that body and incidentally the
club owners whom he charges with lack
ing the courage to come out openly and
oppose the supreme court of base ball. In

Good Recruits.
WILL HAVE GOOD PITCHERS

With the track season well advanced
and q fairly accurate line obtained on
the ability Of the squad. attention on
the Hilltop is gradually turning to base
ball. Georgetown has been a very i'm
portant factor in the summer sport In
intercollegiate circles since the game was
taken up as a prominent branch OF sport
by the universities of this country. as
the Blue and Gray has not only been
represented by as many championship
mines as any other institution in the
east. but has also displayed great con-
sistency in putting out good ball teams.
There Is an abundance OF the highest
caliber material this year for all depart
ments Of the team, and the positions that
proved to be the weaknesses on the Blue
and Gray nine last year seem to be well
fortified for the coming season. When
Capt. Cogan issues his can for candi-
dates squad Of seventy-five men is ex-
pected to turn out, while over half this
number are veteran players. Several Of
the new men that will report on the Hill
school with very good records. and these
candidates. together with the veterans
who have played together on the heights
for the past two or three years, should
prove to be ample material for the forma-
ton OF one Of the strongest teams that
has ever worn the Blue and Gray.
For the backstop position Furey. Lynch.
Mullaney, Bergen and Waldron form q
quintet from which q man that can
handle himself equally as we'll in batting
as In throwing to the bases and re-
ceiving can be selected. Eurey and
Mullahey will undoubtedly be the
strongest contenders for the position,
as the former has demonstrated his abil-
ity as q catcher, by putting ND great
game behind the bat for the Hilltoppers
last. spring, while the latter halls from

Will Again Coach Georgetown Base
Ball Team,

Yesterday afternoon Manager Haggerty
OF the Georgetown University base ball
team announced that he had received a
signed contract from Jim Sprigman for

not accomplished before in several years.
