team when Kenworthy arrives
Crit was forced to part with two
mighty good ball players In order to
obtain Pitcher Gailia. for Vaughn should
be able to go through the American
Association like q house afire. and Car

does not expect a lot from Gallia next
season. but the following year he figures
that the pitcher VIII develop into

the future that Griff is looking. for the

be considered as a pennant possibility

Mike Kahoe, the well-known scout

field job on the GAINESVILLE club of the
Three-Eye League and was only kid.
He looked promising then. but was aw-

that he would some day be great ball
player. and I am glad that Grin has
landed him"
In a recent game between Denver
and Des Moines which was won by
Denver, 10 to o, Kenworthy led OF and

quartet of safe swats. including two

committing one error.
-Griff's friends out in the Western
League have told him that he has OBJ
tanned the best looking outielder of
which the organization could boast in
recent years
1t will be up to the Washington fans
to judge.
The Nationals are letting go of

Walker, the youngster who Joined the
local club last summer from Spartan
burg, N. c. Walker has had very little

weak on ground balls and Shanks beat
him to the left field job.
Walker Is a better hitter than Shanks
and is sure to make great name for
himself in the American Association. He
has a dandy arm and is fast as lightning

Grif is taking great chances in let
ting an outfelder of Walkers ability
shot that some big league club will grab
Walker before the season of 1913 is many
months old.
Walker is a young man of exemplary
habits. He is always in condition to give
his best efforts, and with youth In his

Although Griff has not stated that he

hoped that such is the case.
The Nationals have busy week ahead |

One brainiess fan In the upper payilionl
during Fridays game seemed to take
great delight in roasting John Henry bel
cause the collegian could not handle
balls that Cashion was bouncing over
the plate. The fault was with cashionl
and not Henry, for Jay Carl was In the

OF the stops Henry made were nothingi

In Jack Leiivelt the New York High
landers get q heavy-hitting outfielder,
but man who 10 slow in the field and
does not possess a strong throwing arm.
Leliveit has been the sensation Of the
League this season. and
has proved terror to opposing twirlers.
