about to open. Griffith figures that by
careful handling Johnson will be able to
pitch up to his best form right from the
outset Of the season, which would be o.
the greatest benefit to the team. Last
spring Johnson was not in form. ana he
lost a majority Of his games. To nave
won three-fourths Of these games would
have made a material difference In the
standing OF the team.
One Of the doubtful positions on the
team is right field, which has been as

a chance to practice much in that position.

Speaking about Big Ed Konetchy. the

Cardinals, Barney Dreyfuss Of the Pitts
burgh base ball club admits that he once
offered to exchange five Pirates Tor the
Candy Kid. He named four PLAYERS ara
left the selection of the fifth to Manager
Bresnahan. This fifth man was to be "A
pitcher, and the Pittsburgh owner told
Roger to pick any twirler on the Buc-
cancer roster. Bresnahan refused to con-
slider the proposition, which is said to have
been one of the most liberal offers pos
sible, but President Dreyfuss refuses to
state who any of the players were. 81.

Perhaps the only advantage the Ma
tionals will have by training at Char
lottesville, is that the players VIII be &C
climated when they return here, for there
is not apt to be any perceptible difference
in the temperature. There Is no doubt
that players who take trips to the Tar
south and work a month or so under a
broiling sun suffer severe setbacks when
they come north to open the season. There
is no doubt that a ball player can condi-
ton himself in a cool climate as we'll as
in a warm one, providing he has the
proper care. Bundling up in heavy sweat
ers and clothes makes it possible to work
up sweat which is beneficial providing
there is hot room to retire into while
the pores are open. On the face of wealth.
er conditions which will probably exist
during the first week or SO at Charlottes-
vile, it does look like taking a long
chance to attempt to get a ball team
ready there, and yet 1t may prove bene-
fetal for the reason stated, that the play
ers are not apt to suffer a setback when
they return to their own grounds.
Griffith's system of training differs con-
siderably from that which has been in
vogue on the local team under some OF
the men he has succeeded. Grill believes
in a very slow start. He wants his pitch

for the first week. After that they will
be allowed to pitch for ten or fifteen min
utes for another week. and it will be some
time before they are allowed to go any
route. There has never been any great
precaution taken with the Nationals
pitchers heretofore. They have been al
lowed to work as they saw fit. and it is
questionable whether all of them have
used the best judgment in so doing. A
few wears ago, for instance, Walter john
son, after being in training single week.
pitched eleven innings against the De-
troit team down in Texas. While there
was no apparent setback in his work as
a result of this strain, in stands to rea-
son that he was not benefited any by
forcing himself so early in the spring.
Griffith will use a different system with
his pitchers, and particularly with john
son. He is to report a week later than
the other twirlers and his preparation is
to be slow. He will probably not appear
in an exhibition game until the season Is

John Henry, who together with Eddie
Ainsmitb will form the nucleus of the
Nationals catching staff this season, re-
ported to Manager Griffith this morning
looking as If he was ready to play base
ball at a moments notice.
Henry has been coaching the base bal
candidates at Amherst College for the
past three weeks, and he is in perfec,
condition and anxious for work.
The question of whether this pair would
be able to handle the delivery of Walter
Johnson came up during discussion
they were having with Manager Griffith
and Henry remarked:
81 caught Walter in eight or ten
straight games last summer and I think
he lost one of them. 1 never experienced
any trouble catching him. In fact, he is
easier to catch than some pitchers l have
seen. OF course, when Walter is wild,
which is not often, no man can handle
him, for the ball comes so fast that it is
impossible to reach out for it in time.
had one bad day behind Walter, and that
was on the local grounds before the
diamond was switched. I had to look
right into those advertising signs on the
fence, and of course it was hard to see
the ball. 1 had some passed balls that
day, but 1 never had any trouble after
that catching him.
II don't think he is harder to catch
than any of the Others" put in Ainsmith.
In fact, like to catch him, because he is
usually true and puts the ball just where
you want it,
'Now, don't you worry about catching

that there will be no trouble about that.

MANAGERS OF BIG LEAGUES

Some Prefer Places Where Large Gate Re-

CLEVELAND, Ohio. March 1.-What
constitutes an ideal training camp for
big league base ball teams? Biz
league managers and players differ in
their opinions. Some like the quiet places.
where there is nothing to take the
thoughts of the players off their work.
Others like the big towns, where there
are advertisements to break the monotony
of training. Some also prefer the big
towns because more money is taken In
at the gate. Some managers like to
change every year, SO their players will
get O change of scene. Many prefer a
spot where the athletes may imbibe free

In the latter class are the managers OF

the players who are expected to leave
from here will be in the city tonight or

The businesslike manner in which the
affairs of the Washington club are be-

causing a lot of favorable comment
among the players of the team. Both

and once to Mexico. while the Red Sox
twice went to California. Neither team
obtained good results.
In the opinion of Nap LajOie. train
ing camp combining the good qualities OF
Alexandria, La, and Macon, Ga. would
be the ideal place. Alexandria has the
climate, the water and the hotel, but 1t
lacks population and a good base ball
diamond. The latter fault could be recti-
fled. however. by the sending Of a
groundkeeper ahead of the team to get
things i'm shape. But the town is small
and lacks amusements. Consequently the
players got mighty tired of 1t in a
week or So and their work seemed un-
usually onerous. especially as Manager
MCGUIRE was a stickler for that Old style
plan of having the players walk some
eight miles a day in addition to their
double workout. Again. it was case OF
'.all going out and nothing coming in, .
as the gate receipts at Alexandria were
practically nothing.
Now, Macon has an even better climate

that 1t does not get so extremely warm
