BILLY" SMITH IN TOWN
By WILLIAM PEET.

So well satisfied was Manager Griffith
Of the appearance of his ball club last
season that the Old Fox has decided this
coming year to equip his bunch with the
same style uniform at home and on the
road.
The home uniforms, according to
league ruling, must of necessity be OF
white in color, and Griff will follow with
possibly some slight notifications the
same style togs as worn by the players
last summer On the road the Nationals
made the best appearance Of any club in
the league. During that never-to-be-
forgotten trip West last June, every
baseball writer commented upon the
nifty appearance of Griff's ginger kids
The majority of Washington fans never
had the opportunity of seeing the Ma
tionals in their Uut-of-tOwn garb. These
uniforms were of steel blue color. with
a fine stripe of black, the size of a soft
lead pencil mark. running lengthwise
The stockings were navy blue from the
knee to the calf of the leg, and the
ankles gray. The caps were trimmed
with navy blue. and small letter W.
adorned each sleeve.
i was perfectly satisfied with the way
my club was logged out last season.
reTna rked Griff yesterday, and will OF
der the same uniforms for next year.
The Nationals will again be equipped
with heavy sweaters, navy blue In
color On the left breast of each
sweater will be inscribed in gray a big

AID W0LGAST SAYS
RIVERS is RUNNING
AWAY FROM MATCH

San Francisco Dec sd Wolgast
yesterday hit back at his rivals, Willie
Richie and Joe Rivers.
Il do not remember Of having offered
to bet $4,000 that I could beat Richie, -
said AID in discussing Nolan's statement.
but his proposition suits me all right.
He can go as far as he likes, and We
will raise him.
II have authorized Tom Jones to make
out a certified check for 5000 to bind
a. match with Richie. I am willing to
go almost any length in order to get
a return match. My offer to make Richie
present Of 1900 the moment he signs
articles still stands.
las for Rivers, ! think that he is
deliberately running out on me. l agreed
that he should have $500 for his end
II he would meet me here on February
- and len II to him to name the weight
conditions. His manager. Joe Levy. re-
fused to sign. 1t looks like the Rivers
Levy combination would rather take the
small risks and receive less money"

One of Hurst's Stories.

Every little while Tim Hurst springs
a story. He has the knack Of digging
down in his memory somewhere and
dragging to light a yarn for every &C.
casion. Perhaps the following about Bill
Dahlen is old. but anyway here it IS:
'.Anson called Dahlen good and hard
in a same | was umpiring in Chicago.
Dahlen took it without saying a word,
but a few minutes later Bill remarked
10 me: Now watch me bark that old
fellows shins.' Ans was not as agile
then as he was in his younger days, and
lie stopped with much effort. All
through that game Bin made great
stops only to throw the ball few feet
in front OF the bag, and II was up to
Arson to stop il with his Shins.
However, that was not the end OF
il. few days later the White Stock
ingS had TO take trip to st. LOUIS
and Ansor told Damien he would not
be taken on the trip. Bill had been told
that several times and he thought Ans
was foOlIng. The train left Chicago
about midnight and Dahlen was with
the rest Of the team.
When the train was about twenty
five miles out Of Chicago the conductor
told Arson there were sixteen men in
the party and he had received only fif-
teen tickets. Arson said there were
only fifteen men and named the berths
they occupied
The man in berth No. i says he is
q member Of the Chicago team" said
the conductor. who was referring to
Dahlen. He's striuging yOu,' replied
Anson. Poor Bill was asked to cough
up. and couldn't. The train was stop
ped. and pahlen was put of the train
about thirty miles from Chicago. How
1, ;, ~
knows. but he would not talk to any
body for a week."

WOLGAST'S FACE
THE TOUGHEST

Il think AID WoIgast has the
toughest face of any boxer in
the business, says Manager
Jones. During the twenty-eight
fights he has had since I have
been handling him he has had
but three black eyes, and l do
not remember of him ever hav-
ing a bloody noe. II is hard to
cut his skin and he usually comes
out of a fight without n scratch.
l have seen his opponents bang
him on the eyes and nose, but it
seemingly did not bother him in
the least"

BILLY" Smith in Town.

Billy Smith, manager of the Atlanta
club. of the Southern League, and
Griff's closest friend, is in Washington
for a short visit When asked last
night if he was going to turn over
any more ball players to the Atlanta
club. Grif smiled as he replied:
Smith would like to have johnson
and Milan and thinks he could use
Chick Gandil, but l have decided to
give these players another chance
Manager Smith has virtually picked
his club for next year and feels con-
fident that he will finish well up in
the Southern League race. 1t is doubtful
if Grif will send any more players
To Atlanta until he has seen what his
youngsters can do in the spring work

"Gabby" Street Next.

Perhaps the catching department was
assailed the hardest by Father Time in
his 1872 attack. The backstops Pop cap
tu"'d last season were in their day the
Test in the country. Four years ago
Johnny Killing Was the creates catcher in
the National League. and Bill Sullivan
and "Gabby" Street divided the honors in
the American League. All three of these
former stars are through as big Ieaguers.
though Killing is retiring of his own &C
cord.
Charley Schmidt, once of the Tigers
Is another fine catcher who took a ride
in the minor league special last season
Schmidt was a fizzle in the worlds Sc
ries games he was called on to catch
but was a steady man in the American
League. Bill Bergen, who several years
ago was the peer of any catcher in the
country. was released by the Superbas
before the opening Of the 1912 season.
Pat Moran never was in the King
Sullivan-Street class, but was a fairly
nifty receiver at that. He also caught
his final big league game last season.
Two former star first basemen ended
their playing days last season. Frank
Chance played a few games early in the
season before his head compelled him to
quit the diamond for good. Harry Davis
got disguised with the work OF his first
baseman in Cleveland and jumped into
the fray himself Harry stuck 1t out
for one day and then came to the con-
Clusion his playing days were over.

Harry Wolverton also played his last
game at third base on a big league

Father Time was not as hard on the
outfielders as he was on the other de-
partments. His best-known victims to
the outskirts were Danny Murphy. Bris-

had to quit before his time on account
of an injury to his leg. the same as
Mordecai Brown. Lord came back once
before after a trip to the minors, but he

career IN the big leagues and gave Old

WILSON FAILS TO-

POPULAR VOTE

New York. Nov. Son the strength
of incomplete returns as to the pop
ular vote for Wilson. Roosevelt and
Taft. the estimate is made today that
Governor Wilson will not have a ma
jority Of all the votes Cost.
In q majority Of the states a pop
ular vote has only been roughly esti-
mated thus far; but the reports indi-
cate that the combined vote OF Roose-
welt. Taft Debs and Chain will be
approximately 100000 more than the
vote for Wilson.
The figures will be materially
changed by the hnal count, but 1t is
expected that the proportion for each
candidate will not vary greatly.
The preliminary account gives Will
son approximately 46 per cent Of the
vote; Roosevelt, 2s per cent, and Taft
23 per cent. The total vote thus far
reported is less than in 1908, while
official returns are expected to bring
it above those figures. In 1908, out
Of a combined vote Of 14,030,S5S cast
for Taft and Bryan, Taft received over

Division of the Spoils.

London. Nov. 8.-The last "a hours
have brought little news of Importance
from the seat of war. The report that
Saloniki has been evacuated Is pre-
mature and a similar report concern
ing Monastir is unconflrmed. There is
no authentic news of the alleged defeat
of the Turks before Tchatalja
A Constantinopla dispatch sets forth
the Turkish claim that there are no
Bulgarians before Tchatalja and that
both armies are resting.
The Turkish reports regarding the
progress of the war have been SO con-
sistently misleading as to have little
value. The present lull in news may
meanthat some important action Is
proceeding. In the meantime diplo-
matte efforts to end the war are maxi
Ing no progress, and the European
press Is busy discussing all the aspects
