Orth Will Probably

LYNCHBURG, Va, Jan. 20.-Al Orth
has practically come to terms with
the Washington and Lee athletic
authorities for the coaching of the
varsity baseball squad during the
coming training season. Orth does
not know vet whether he will GER
tainly coach the squad, but the indi-
cations are that the deal will be com
pleted during the present week or
early next week.
He has had offers from several other
Virginia institutions to train the
teams during the spring, but the one
from Washington and Lee is probably
the best from his point of view, and
he has made the people there an offer
which they will almost certainly ac-
cept. In case Orth goes to LeXins-
ton, he will not only coach the pitch
ers, but will be in charge of the en-
tire squad during the training season

MOTOR CYCL|STSTO
HAVE A TOUR, WITH
CUPS AS TROPHIES
w a S h i n G ton Enthusiasts
Much Interested in

BY HARRY WARD.

Washington motorcyclists are greatly
Interested. In the announcement that
they are to have a 'Glidden" tour Of
their own. During the motorcycle
show In New York last week, A. B.
Coffman, of Toledo. and A. J. Mussel-
man. Of Chicago, made public their
plans for the tour, and also the fact
that they will put UP two valuable CUPS
as trophies for competing motorcyclists
with the best scores.
IT Is planned to have the tour last ten
days and to cover approximately 1000
miles. 1t Is to be an annual affair,
and the first probably will be staged
Just preceding the annual meet Of the
Federation of American Motorcyciists
In July next. G. II. Hamilton presI-
dent OF the F. A. NJ, is heartily In favor
OF the big tour, and will Cooperate in
making 1t a success.
While the details are yet to be worked
out, the tour itself seems a certainty
There will be a cup for trade riders,
and another for private owners. The
trade riders cup must be competed for
each year, while the other will pass
each year permanently into the keeping
OF the victorious private owner.

can he made at this time, for the city

crding the Buffalo meet there were
two +. A. NJ. tours. one from the East
and one from the West. each ending at
Buffalo. These tours were highly sue

HIT PRETTY WELL
Slammed Ball Harder Than Worlds Champions White
|! Sox and Browns-Low Standing Must Be
Attributed to Other Weakness.
By SENATOR"

While the failure Of the Nationals
to rise from their lowly position IN
the American League has been charg-
ed to the absence of batting strength
of the outfield, official statistics show
that the Washington club made a bet
ter average in hitting by outfielders
than three other teams on the circuit
Those to finish in the ruck OF the
Nationals in this regard were the
worlds champion Athletics. the Chi
cago White Sox and the St. Louis
Browns. or the three. the Browns
were the only ones to make q poor
Ell percentage In the league race than
did McAleer's tribe.
While Amos Strunk cannot be con-
sidered regular member of the Phil
adelphia outiield, nevertheless, the
fact that he played in one third of
the championship games, forces con-
sideration OF him in compiling the
figures, but 1t was his comparatively y
weak hitting that pulled down the
champions.
