Bob" Hedges. the Prince Charming of
the American League and president Of
the st. Louis Browns. was let go to
the Indianapolis club of the American
Association.
'Clarke ought to be a great hit in the
Association" says Griffith, for he is a
good hitting catcher and has q lot OF
baseball in him yet. I had q place for
him with my club until l got hold of
Williams ana then there was no room
for him.
Ralph Maths, the Richmond outfelder,
goes back TO Richmond for another
year in the Virginia League. This
young fellow met with tough luck this
spring. He reported with infected
glands of the neck and was unable to
do any work here on that account. He
is now in Washington under treatment

Figures speak louder than words and
you Washington fans must be eager to
see just what the boys are doing down
here in the hitting line. The slugging of
Eddie Gagnier, Carl Cashion, Tommy
Long, Chester Spencer, and Dixie
Walker IS the talk of the training camp,
and you fans should see the figures for
yourselves. You will find that Eddie
Gagnier, the Lincoln recruit. is sting
ing the leather to a -you-well, and
that young Allen Scheer, the stripping
from the Youngstown club OF the Ohio
and Pennsylvania League, is keeping the
veterans on the nervous seat with his

Notes From the Nationals Training Headquarters

Tommy Longs great work here is
just!fying Mike Kahoes opinion or him.
Carl Cashion's underhand ball was the
nightmare of the hitters, and had the
best of them going after II in vain.
"Zeb" Milan was injured slightly try
ing to get under Gagnier's drive for a
bag in the fifth. and had to be succeeded
by Al Williams.
Chester Spencer was as graceful as a
gazelle around that first corner, and
continued his timely work with the
stick.
Jack Flynn turned in a high-class play
IN the fourth, when he climbed into the
air for Fosters high toss and retired
Shanks. 1t was big league stuff.
Walter Johnson took his time and
used nothing but a change of pace dur
ing the three innings he performed.

The Nationals are fortunate to have
such a good man as Cy Rigler to UNI
pire their practice games. and Cy Rig
Ter is fortunate to have 50 much oppor-
tunity for getting into shape for the
coming season.
Cunningham Mcbride. BoehlinG, and
Williams were strike-out victims of
Cashion during the CORY fray.

scooping them up out of the dirt when
he retired Cunningham in the second,

Though Gagnier's work here has

Gagnier has hit well against
