GRIFFITHS YANIGANS TACKLE
VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY TODAY
Walter Johnson Slated to Pitch Part Of the
Game, and Williams Will
Catch Him.

four consecutive seasons and In that en-
tire time has missed but three ball games,
this being In the spring OF 1910. when ne
was ILL., Considering that he plays Pc.
being spiked. this is most remarkable
record and one which has perhaps never
been equaled by an infielder.
Ray Morgan's injured knee has mended
enough. he believes. to allow him to play
third for the Yanigans today. Morgan
worries much because of his enforced
idleness, as he is anxious to make a. posi-
ton on the team. and he fears that the
fact that he has not been in uniform for
a couple Of days will prove handicap.
Manager Griffith left here last night for
Washington, where he Is to make some
final arrangements for the erection Of the
scoreboard at the ball park today. It
seems that according to original plans
this board was to have taken but eight
feet off the right playing field. but re-
vised plans give 1T fourteen, and Griffith
realizes that he cannot afford that much
space nthat particular side of the
grounds. He hopes to be able to place
the board In extreme left or center and
will come to a decision this morning.

sence.
Indications are for ideal weather for
the next few days, which has brought
joy to the players. for 1t means a couple
Of workouts day on the ball field,
which does more to get them into playing
condition than anything else Griffith Is
confident that if the weather continues
he will have his team nearly ready to
start the season a week from now. The
players have gotten inc condition remark
ably fast, considering the fact that they
have had no warm weather to work in. 1t
is expected that within the next few days
the pitchers will be in shape good enough
to warrant their using everything they
have in the way of curves and other de-
liveries which have been forbidden while
their arms were still weak.
That Clyde Milan should desire an in
crease of salary is not to be wondered at
when his record last season is taken into
consideration. There were only four
players in the league who made more
base hits than he, and they were Cobb,
Jackson. Baker and Crawford, four OF
the great stars of the league. But what
is most remarkable about Milan's record
is that he scored 100 runs on team
which finished seventh, Barring Cobb,
there is no better or more valuable out
fielder in either major league than Milan,
and il ever he gets on q team that Will
win a majority Of it's games. he will have
no trouble proving this.

MONROE. La. March 18-"The only
way to tell anything about pitcher is
to see him PITCH said Jim MCGUIRE to-
day in response to a question as to what
he thought Of some Of the youngsters of
the Tiger squad. These boys have all
the actions of pitchers SO far as any one
can see from the practice stunts, but un-
til they have been under fire l decline
to pass final Judgment on them.
ITO my mind the ideal athlete is the
one who is best when the necessity for
being strong is greatest. It's that old
fighting spirit that counts. There are
lots Of fellows who are wonders In prac-
tice, no matter what line of sport they
may be engaged in. But parlor boxers
seldom are fighters. and many fine warm
up pitchers fall down terribly when they
come to face the music in a regular
game.
Many a time l have warmed up men
who had everything that ever have seen
a pitcher display. Speed, curves control
and everything else would be theirs and
would feel confident that they would be
able to win that day II we got them a
couple of runs. Then these fellows would

Special DispatcA to The Star.

Special DspatcA to The Star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, March Is
Walter johnson is slated to make his
first appearance Of the season on the
rubber today, when he will pitch part Of
the game for the Yanigans against the
Virginia team. Though johnson has had
but little work this spring. he appears
TO be In splendid condition and 1t is
not likely that he will have any trouble
upholding his reputation against the col
legians, even though he does not curve
o ball or otherwise exert himself.
The announcement that Johnson will
pitch is matter of much interest, not
only among the town folks, but also
among the players. especially the new
Corners who have never seen him in
action. Whenever johnson warns up
the young pitchers stop work to watch
him. They look upon him as the man
they would like to copy, and as they
have never seen him in a game they will
be all attention this afternoon.
One thing that the game this afternoon
will show will be whether Alva Williams
will have any trouble in handling his de-
livery. Williams is down to catch Walter
and his movements will be closely
watched. Only the youngsters will take
part in the game today, barring the
pitchers. Spencer will be on first. Sheer
at second, Gagner at short and Morgan
at third. Will Long will play right,
Shank center and Clarence Walker left.
Besides Johnson, Cashion will also pitch.
Though Milan, Johnson and Mcbride
are still numbered among the young men
of the game, they are now the veterans.
johnson has been with the team longer
than any of the others. He Joined
it in the summer of 1907, just about a
month before Milan was dragged in from
Wichita. Mcbride came in the spring OF
1905 and not another player on the pres
ent team was with 1t at that time. They
have served under three different man
ayers and have from the time they be-
came members of the team been its best
players.
Milan, by the way, has not yet had that
promised conference with Manager Grif-
fifth anent his signing contract. For
some reason or other neither seems in a
hurry to have the matter settled and
both are going along just as if the docu-
men were signed and stored away in the
club safe. Griffith says that he will take
1T up when he gets time. and Milan says
that he is ready any time he is called
upon and there the matter stands.
There is not another player In the
American League who can boast OF a
record such as George Mcbride claims
Mcbride has played with washington LOT

displayed in warming up practice.
1T isn't always a lack Of gameness
that accounts for a pitchers failure to
do as well in game as in practice. Some
Of the men are so anxious to win that
they work themselves into stew. There
are plenty Of fellows who are game yet

It seems to be a sort Of base ball in
stinct that enables the great pitcher to
rise to the emergency.-He has that fight
ing spirit, but at the same time keeps
his head cool.
1.-The youngsters of the Detroit squad
might pitch great ball when handing
them up to the batters in practice with
nothing depending on the outcome of the
sluggers' efforts and yet fall down
against even a mediocre club in a regular
game. / have seen 1t repeatedly happen
that a twirler would make the batsmen
of strong American League club look
badly when he was pitching to them In
practice and then let some class d or
college nine hammer him all over the
place.

ELASTIC FENCE POSTS
 LATEST INNOVATION
Bennett Lumber Company Introduces Practical invention in the
 Valley

The Bennett Lumber Company has
 for the past few months been sue
 cessfully introducing the Carbo steel pests among successful ranchers Tn the Salt River Valley. The farmer 5 that have installed these posts are
 greatly pleased with the new inno-
 vation in fence building and the posts are indeed very interesting. They are made of elastic sttel in the form of an angle iron which gives them elasticity and also strength. The steel post is so built that 1t IS light enough to be sold for q price cheap enough to be within the reach of everybody. The post being elastic it is given a chance to fly back into place when any strain that IS placed upon it is released. Another feature that is considered a strong enc is the fact that being of steel they are practically indestructible.
 The ranches that are equipped with them and there are now a number of such ranches particularly in Cart wright and Fowler districts have been given a very neat appearance. They are so built that the fence once attached cannot easily be released. Contrary to wood there is no chance tor the staples being pulled out. It is readily seen that they are far superior to the ordinary wood posts and the fact that the cost is but little more is greatly in their favor. While barb wire naturally remains, the wire in largest use, it is pleas ing to note that barb wire fences in Salt River valley are rapidly being replaced with the better grade of woven fence, due to the fact that the woven fences have been decreased in Lrice until the average farmer can use them Therefore the introduction of the new light flexible, steel posts is significant one. Not only does it spell thrift but prosperity as well,
