With Hamilton Club of

HAMILTON, Bermuda, February o.
In the first game here the team repre-

Philadelphia was easily beaten by the
Hamilton Cricket Club yesterday by 1913
runs. The defeat is quite excusable. how
ever, since the tourists experienced a
very rough voyage and were unable to
enjoy any practice previous to the game.

effect, the former taking six wickets for
10 runs. and the latter four for 8.

The weather was fine, but cloudy, and
there was a splendid attendance. Today

nERTINENI @f1l1ENT
ELECTROMAGNETIC

STRENGTHENING the New York team, which,
according to his contention, was the OBJ
ject of the Street deal.
If there is any team that Griffith wants
to strengthen it is his own Having in
vested the savings of lifetime in the
local institution Griffith, like any other
sensible person, realizes that his invest
ment can only be success by making
his ball team winner, and every act OF
his is with this object in view. So far
as the fear that none of the local catch
ers will be able to handle Johnsons de-
livery is concerned. that was disproven
last season when Street was out Of the
game with broken finger for six weeks,
during which time johnson lost but one
game of ball. 1t is not hazardous to pre-
dict that the coming season will most
likely be the most successful In the his
tory OF Johnson's career notwithstanding
the fact that his old battery partner will
not be here to help him along.
In many instances young pitchers re-
ceive their education from some veteran
catcher. but the fact that no such indi-
vidual graces the roster of the local club
will not prove detriment to the develop
ment of the young twirlers Griffith has
on his staff. There is no reason why a
pitcher of Grifhth's long experience should
not be even more capable of injecting the
knowledge of the f1inging art into young
pitcher than some catcher who has had
years Of experience in handling pitched
balls. The catchers may be table to tell
the pitchers how to perform, but Griffith
can show them. which undoubtedly should
prove a distinct advantage.
The chances are that Griffith will carry
more players the coming season than
have his predecessors. In the first place
Griffith figures that he needs couple
Of extra in and outfielders and neither
does he propose to let out any player who
gives promise of developing. This holds
good for the pitchers as we'll as players
for other positions, so that the chances
are Griffith will carry the maximum num-
Der of twenty-five after May Is.

good showing. Griffith is particularly i'm
pressed with Williams. He had a line on
him when he was in the minors and tried
to secure him for his. Cincinnati team,
but Boston beat him to it.
When WolvertOn expressed desire to
secure Street for Knight. Griffith insisted
that he must have a catcher. New York
had no one that Griffith wanted aside
from Sweeney, and that proposition. of
course, was refused. New York then
offered to secure any catcher that Gr1f-
fifth would name who was available, and
Griffith picked Williams.
The acquisition of Williams gave the
Nationals three young catchers, all of
whom are fast and give promise of being
hitters.
wanted Williams above all the CATCH
erS that could have been secured in the
deal said Griff. He has the size, is
a good receiver and has splendid arm.
He is a better hitter than he showed
himself to he last year, and 1 am more
than satisfied with the deal.
Williams will likely go south with
the first squad ard help handle the
young pitchers.

HIGH SCHOOL SPRING MEET
WILL BE HELD MAY 18
Date Decided at Meeting of Faculty Board
Last Tuesday - Tremonts to Run
Georgetown in Richmond Meet.
BY II. c. BYRD.

The annual interscholastic track meet
between the local high schools will be
held this spring May Is. At a conference
of the faculty advisers Tuesday afternoon
it was decided to hold the events on that
date, it being adjudged most suitable
from every standpoint.
General plans for the meet were dis
cussed, and it was the general opinion
that the event this year would be more of
q success than for some time. Every
school, with the exception of Eastern. will
enter a big squad, and 1t will be the first
time in years that such has been the
case. This year Tech, Western and Bust
ness will all have teams entered, and be-
tween the three Of them Central should
have a harder time than in any of the re-
cent meets, garnering enough points to
win.
The fremont Athletic Club relay team
has been matched to run the Georgetown
four in the Richmond meet. News was
received from Larry Martin, who is In
charge of the games, by the manager OF
the club four, that it would De pltted
The following telegram was received yes

Richmond College management:

LARRY MARTIN.
The fremont Club is about the only in
dependent organization which Is to be
given a guarantee to send its team to the
Richmond games, and that such Is true is
evidence of the excellent reputation which
the men who compose the four have made
for themselves during the past two or
three years. The members of the IRE
mont four are elated at being given the
opportunity to run against GEORGETOWN;
While they do not have an overrated
opinion of themselves, the clubmen reallZe
that they have a fast team, and in get
ting chance to display their proWess
against a university they have just the
kind of opportunity desired to better the
record which is already good. The four
men who will go to Richmond are Stem,
Rawlings, Mahoney and Stokes
It is not known whether or not the
ceorgetown MANAGEMENT will have any
objections to running against the fremont
Club In many instances colleges ana
schools object to running against ciups
and refuse to do so, but in an instance
where there is an equal chance IoI
each to win it would not appear that
there should be objections. At any rate
the chances greatly favor Georgetown III
such q race because of the better tram

the men who will compose the Blue and

The real value of working out indoors
for the high school base ball pitchers
may be shown this spring in the effective
ness of the Central twirlers. There could
have been no tutor better than the Blue
and White men have had, and if they
come to the front rapidly in the scholas-
tic series it will be that much in favor OF
the indoor work.
The main benefit which is to be de-
rived from the working out of the Cen
trail men in the gymnasium is likely to
come from the knowledge of pitching
which will be instilled into them by Doc
White. If they are able to put into
practice the principles. when they get out
doors, that he has taught them in the
gymnasium then the pitchers will have
not spent their time uselessly.
