BAT BOY IS ENGAGED
BY WILLIAM PEET.

One by one the Washington Club regu-
lars are falling into line and signing up for
the 1912 campaign. The late mail yester-
day afternoon brought Manager Grif-
fifth a letter from John Henry. the husky
catcher. stating that the terms offered
by GrIff were perfectly satisfactory and
that Henry himself would bring along
his signed contract when he reported in
March.
The coIIegian wrote the new manager
10 the effect that he was in good shape
and doing considerable gymna sium work.
4 am sure we will get along well to-
Gcther," said Henry, and while I may
not set the league on fire. you will find
me out there working every day"
That's the way like to hear a young
fellow talk" commented Griff: Il have
never seen Henry catch, but everybody
tells me he is a promising ball player,
and has the makings Of a real star, lack
ing only the necessary experience"
Henry is taking things easy up in Am
herst, Mass, his home. The coIlegian's
father owns a big farm a short distance
from the college and Johns early days
were spent out IN the hay fields and
wedding the garden. He was signed up
during the late summer Of 1910 by Mike
Eahoe 5nd started out last season play
ing first base. Finally he was brought in
lehind the bat, and while Ainsmith and
Street were both out of commission for
three weeks Henry caught every game.
1t was Henrys grit that made such a
big hit with Jim McAIeer. for the young
ster was unlucky in being hit in every
unprotected spot by foul tips. and often
started a game so stiff he could hardly
Eet around, but he never let out a whim-
per or gave the first sign OF wanting

While Manager Griffith was talking
with the local newspaper men and other
friends at headquarters yesterday after
noon, a faint knock was heard. Grin
cried come in and a neatly dressed
youngster inquired timidly for Manager
Grifith.
u am he" replied the manager in a
kindly tone. What can do for you?''
Please, Mr.. Griffith. II you haven't
engaged a bat hoy I'd like TO get the
job. You will find me on the Job every
day. Ny name is Morris Wolfe. I am
eleven years old, and my school-teacher
will tell you I'm a good boy"
Grin smiled and patted the youngster
on the. head IAN right, my boy, III
engage you, but remember, IL you are
not on the Job every day I'll have
10 ask for waivers on you. Just come
out and see me the first morning We
practice at the ball uark.''
The happiest kid in Washington let
himself out of the managers once, and
as he chIrped "Good-by, and thank you"
he added, I hope the Nationals win the
pennsnt.''
