Probable Lineup.
WASHINGTON

Yancey W. Ayres, the phenomenal
twirler Of the Richmond Colts. in the
Virginia League, is on the scene of his
big league endeavors, reporting to Man
ager Griffith this morning. Ayres has
worked this year in the bushes, but he
is in pretty good condition. and, may be
seen on the mound before the week is
out
"Ayres has made a great record in
Virginia this season." says the Old
Fox this morning. and IL he looks to
me to be ready for active work. I'm
likely to use him at once. But he's got
to show me in the preliminary practice.
At the same time, when a young pitch
er can point to SS3 strikeouts and only
twenty-seven bases on balls, he must
have something out there on the rub
Der. Ayres is undoubtedly a promising
youngster. and 1 shall give him
thorough trial.
Indeed. think 1 have picked up two
good pitchers from the Virginia League
in Ayres and Hedgepeth- They have
made good records, and good judges
have told me to expect great things
from them. OF course. the Virginia
League is not particularly fast, and
these fellows may need a lot of in

ing that they will strengthen my pitch
ing staff
Manager Griffith is delighted with the
showing of Jim Shaw, the Pittsburgher
who was farmed out to York. in the
Tri-Stats League, this season.
Shaw has been working out against
the batters, and while he looks green,
should be a whale of a pitcher in lit
tie while,' says the Old Fox. There's
a lot of difference between bush league
batting and fielding and that in the big
show. It's this difference that makes
failures of many minor league wonders.
At the same time, Shaw looks mighty
good / shall use him as soon as / get
an opportunity.
Judging from the fine showing of
Jack Bentley, the Sandy Spring, Nd.
southpaw, against the Yankees in one
inning Saturday. he will get another
chance to show his class against big
league team, probably the st. Louis
Brownies.
After our series with the Maps this
week. we ought to know. whether or
not We have a chance to finish In sec
ond place." says the leader of the Cap
itolians. mo matter which way 1t
breaks for US, 1 shall start Bentley in
a game before the season is out. His
showing Saturday was pretty fair. He
is big and he seems to have plenty OF
speed. These things count for a whole
lot in a left-hander. and they entitle
him to good trial such as starting a
game"
IF this fellow Spencer is in good
health. he'll get into the game from
the jump" says the Old Fox. Il have
been told that his health is not the
best in the world. and that this has
much to do with his poor hitting since
the middle of the ses=on. II that's the
reason. he has some excuse for drop
ping from $50 or so down below 800.
However. If he tells me that he's all
right again, 1 shall not hesitate about
sending him to the outfield. I want
to see what he can do.
This outfield situation is serious
with us. / really believe that if Moeller |
had hit for go. as / thought he would |
this season, and Milan had wound up |
over 800. We would now be in first |
place Therefore I shall use Spencer 1
right at the start to see II he's worth /
trifling with for next season.
