do any too much than Is good for him.
It'll be great to have Engel and

Martin "1tn allow them to work out
together. not too much. you know. but
just enough to keep In condition.

What he needs Is control. and that
comes with experience and work. He

season.

Had Sore Arm.
Joe was anxious to show his class
last spring at Charlottesville. and
worked too hard at the start. or
course, he got lame arm. fixed him
up and then he got another. That's
the way It was through the whole three
weeks We were there. Now I'm going to

BY working out here he will keep his
arm and shoulder muscles soft and
springy. He won't have to- get that
stiffness out OF them that always fol.

Has Good Future.
Engel has a promising future ahead
of him. He has one OF the keenest
eye managers IN the business to watch
him. Griffith was one Of the shrewdest
pitchers in the game until he took up
dcer-slaying. and he Is ready to show
Engel every twist Of the pitching art
as soon as he is ready.
1t Is hardly to be expected that the
lad will shine on the mound next year.
He has plenty OF time. though. and will
probably work in more games In 1913
than he did in 1912. BY gradually
lengthening his work, he will acquire
experience and knowledge Of the bats
men he has to face. His confidence
will grow until that day that sees him

the same result. Jake Stahl and DUFFY
Lewis were the other two clean up
guys, Jake against St. Louis and Duffy

Those OF the Nationals who drove ir
three runs at one fell wailop were
Ainsmith and Moeller, with doubles
and Morgan and Foster. with triples.
Speaking about driving In runs. Mr.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb Is some rea

In 1911. IA runs. Last year he SEN
