Exercises-Other Sporting
Gossip of Interest.
BY WILLIAM FEET.

Manager Griffith yesterday received the
contracts of four players. three recruits,
and regular. Catcher Eddie Ainsmith,
who is down in San Antonio. Tex, re-
gaining his health. simply signed the
document Griff sent him and mailed it.
There was no letter inclosed, for Eddie
refuses to write letters.
Recruit Pitchers Bickers, the Buffalo
giant; Robert Austin, the Wesleyan Col
lege southpaw. and Tom Drohan, the Ke-
vance kid, also forwarded their con-
tracts TO the Nationals boss, and the
chances are that long before the time
comes for reporting every man on the
Washington reserve list, with the excep-
ton of Clyde Milan, will have been
signed.
Up-to-date the only men who have not
signed are Pitchers Hughes, Boehling.
Gallia, and Ayres; Catchers Henry and
Al Williams; InfieIders Scheer, Laporte,
Schaefer, and L. Williams, and Outfield-
ers Milan, Connolly. and Gideon.
Both Bickers and Austin wrote Grin
that all they wanted was a fair trial.
and expressed confidence in their ability
to measure up to major league require
ments.
Austin is a Ieft-hander said to possess
a lot of natural ability, lacking only eN-
perience. As Griff has only Joe Boehling
who shoots from the south side, the work
of the colIegian will be carefully
watched, and it is believed that If he
shows any promise at all he will be re-
tanned and nurSed along.

Grif Talks Training Camp.

Griff seemed pleased yesterday when
discussing the arrangements he had
made for spring training at Charlottes-
vile. The Old Fox really never had
any serious intentions of taking his ball
club anywhere else but to the little col
lege hamlet Like all ball players, he is
a bit superstitous. Last year his club
trained in Charlottesville and finished
second in the American League race.
The Nationals started the race in pretty
fair physical condition, at least they
looked as good at the outset as any other
team in the league, so Griff argues,
why should I not return to Charlottes-
ville?''
BY announcing after his first visit to
the college town three weeks ago that he
could not obtain proper accommodations
and might possibly train somewhere else
Grin, throuh the medium of the news
papers, got a barrel of free advertising,
which did not hurt his ball club one bit
Now that everything is settled, it Is not
violating any confidence to say that no
other town, city, hamlet, or village
south of Washington had a chance to
land the Nationals except Charlottes-
vile. Grif would have gone to the Uni
versity of Virginia township if it had
been necessary to lodge his men in tents.
Manager Griffith will not be in the

monies. neither will any OF the players

all items and what they were appro
priated for, which have been vetoed
are herewith given.
The following items can be dis
pensed with, but their approval would
have meant Improvement and expan
sion:
Deans office, $1,000 for each year
For stationery and supplies for the
dean and registrar. Nearly all of the
correspondence of the college proper
is carried on through the registrar
office, and the amount asked for was
barely sufficient to pay for letter
heads and postage for this depart
ment.
Visitor to schools, $4,000 for each
year-On account of the loss of this
item, this work must be stopped en-
tirely
Experiment station. $4,000 for each
Iyear-The experiment station has the
Hatch and Adams funds from the
United States government, but their
work is increasing and they must have
money If they expect to keep up with
other stations of the country.
Field workers, agricultural depart
ment, $4,000 for each year-This was
to be an innovation, and meant, of
course, expansion, and bringing the
college to the people, which is one Of
the most important functions of an
agricultural college.
New branches of agriculture, $780,
1000 for 1914-Stops the expansion OF
the agricultural school. All these pro-
posed branches are now taught in the
best agricultural colleges of the coun-
try, while we must content ourselves
with the very meager courses which
we have taught for the past ten
years.
All new buildings, 100000 for 1913.
$260,O0O for 1914-Absolutely stops
any idea of growth.
Incinerator, $25O0 for 1913-We can
still use the old, insanitary methods
in disposing of the refuse.
Roads, etc, $4,000 for each year
We have existed without them in the
past; it seems that we must do with
out them for some time to come.
Does it seem fair, however, for a
committee of the Legislature to pub
lish in all the newspapers of the
State the awful condition of our
streets and sidewalks and charge it
to the mismanagement of the college
when we are allowed not one cent to
improve them?
Essential Items.
The following items are necessary
for the life of the. college, and unless
we can find some way to provide
them, it is extremely doubtful wheth-
er the college can pull through even
the coming session:
Presidents contingent, $4,000 for
each year-For publishing the college
catalogue and any other bulletins is
sued by the college proper; for
stamps and stationery for the presi-
dents office; for kilograms, telephone
and other items necessary to the
proper accomplishment of the work
of the president.
