|RUBE VICTORY WON SWINDELL
A JOB WITH CLEVELA AND MAPS
Defeat of Crack Collegiate Team Brought
Fame and an Offer to the
Kansas Pitcher.

MOBILE, Ala, March 1S.-It was a
fine brisk day in May down in the east
ern part of North Carolina Along
country road swung stalwart young
man, gun over shoulder. and preceded
by q couple Of hounds. A well filled
game bag was swung over his khaki
jacket.
A turn In the road brought him along
side q country school yard where
dozen or so boys were playing ball. Our
hero Eyes, the man with the gun Is the
hero Of this story stopped to watch, for
base ball had been his long suit out IN
Kansas. The youngsters were big boys,
for down in Carolina they try to seek
few weeks instruction each year even
after they have attained manhood.
AS our huntsman watched he became
more and more interested ana Wnen one
of the boys asked him II he did not want
to join in the sport he ala not neea o;a d
and tying his dogs to a fence, he had
his jacket of and in a few minutes was
deep in the game.
It soon was discovered he was some
pitcher. He had more speed than the
boys had ever seen before, while his
curves were battling ant. defied all their
efforts at bat. In ten minutes every

All the beauty and chivalry OF that
fair little town was on hand TO wltness
the slaughter Of the rubes by the crack
college team. The collegians were I'M
maculate in new uniforms and they pro-
ceeded to dazzle the spectators with
their rapid fire practice stunts. No stop
was too difficult. no fly ball was hit rar
enough to be beyond their reach. At bat
they smashed out line drives with grace
full ease.
Then came the rubes. Two wore uni
FORMS nondescript suits that had seen
better days. The others wore their every
day clothes, our hero being CARRIED III
his hunting suit. For catcher. he had
bulky mountaineer. who weighed over
200 pounds. He had hands like hams
feet were incased in homemade boots.
They had him for catcher, not because
he really could catch. but because he was
so wide he could not avoid stopping any
ball that went over the plate;
The contest began and with unceaslng
regularity our hunter moved down IN

WILL CUT SQUAD.
Georgetown Base Ball Candidates to
Be Weeded Out.

That the first cut in the Georgetown
University base ball squad will be made
this afternoon Is now certain, as Coach
Sprigman made the announcement that
he would start to weed out his players
beginning after today's workout. There
is such a short space of time left in which
to prepare the Hilltop ball tossers for the
opening Of the season that the Blue and
Gray coach is unable to handle such q
large squad of candidates as have been
out for the local university nine, and as
he has obtained thorough acquaintance
with the ability Of all those who have
been trying for places there is no doubt
but that Georgetown's executive is in
position to make his cut in the squad
this afternoon without losing the services
of any Of the men that might be valuable
to the Blue and Gray.
In the practice workouts from now on
the Blue and Gray squad will be divided
into two sections for both their batting
and fielding practice. This system will
enable the men to get more practice In
the short time that still remains before
the opening Of the season. The ability Of
the players will not be considered in the
making OF this division Of the squad, as
1t Is wholly the idea Of the local coach to
make this move SO that his men will
receive more work and thus get in shape
quicker.

track teams among the local schools will
begin training outdoors. Several Of the

1t is probable that some of the local

tic meets to be held at Virginia in Bal
timore, at Cornell and at the Maryland
Agricultural College. Practically the
whole strength of each squad will appear
one or two of the schools will take the
other trips.
Manager Will Donnelly Of the Manhat-
tan Club Is making extensive preparations
for the forthcoming base ball season. He
has not only signed up number of the
fastest amateur players in the District,
but is making every effort to land others.
One of the latest to aff1x his name to a
Manhattan contract is Harry Costello of

year in the championship race in the

that any other team in the league will
be able to muster the material from
which to build a nine that can Donnelly

ing with Harry Burke, then there is
every LIKELIHOOD that any of the other
teams to win the championship will have
to beat out the Manhattan club.
Taken all in all, it appears that the In
dependence League this year is going to
be one of the fastest in the city, Here
tofore the circuit has been numbered
among the second best, but it Is prob
able that 1t will stand out In the front
this season. The best thing In connection
with the league seems to be that 1t does
not have any real weak teams to carry
along during the flag end of the season
to hinder 1t, but seems to be made up
for the most part Of teams that are capa-
BILE of holding their own with any one Of
the others.
