Harpers Ferry is also showing true
patriotism in boosting its prices while
the encampment is on. Commissary

other necessaries have suddenly taken

Brigadier General Harries, in COM

not be trained on cakes and candy, and
consequently he would be Just as well

the District did not ship these dainties

an order to this effect.

are a few scattered around Bolivar

District soldiers last night, because of
the fact that there was not soldier

Of such a thing as a mosquito. The boys
put in a griiling day pitching tents and
making ready for work today.

labor told on the campers, but they
awakened at rev ellie today refreshed by
a sound nights rest.
This afternoon the camp will be
thoroughly policed. In other words, it
will be cleaned. Civilian soldiers, arm
ed with rakes, pitchforks. and brooms,
win go over every inch Of ground re-
moving rocks and debris. When they
finish tonight the drill and parade
ground will be as smooth as dance

Officers Attend School.

work of the school instruction, and dur

military drill work. In the afternoon
the first of the sports program is listed.
This viii consist of ball games on the
drill field.
Last night the first of the parades was
given. The entire brigade turned out,
although as a rule this is not a part
Of the first days work. The District
boys made a splendid showing In the pa
rade, and General Harr1es ana MS sldlL
were well pleased.
The First Infantry Band gave 4 con-
cert on the drill ground after mess. and
many Washingtonians, spending thelr
vacations at the Ferry, came over TO
listen The band furnished a program
OF lively airs as a pleasant touch to a
day that had been full Of toll and hard

Forced To Sleep On Ground.
Many a District man unused to hard
ships found himself forced last night to
sleep in a poncho on the ground because
in many of the companies the cots and
blankets were shy" They took their
medicine uncomplainingly. however, and
found that sleeping in the Blue Ridge
foothills is an easy task, anyhow.
The Signal Corps rode into camp after
the other troops had arrived. They
looked and felt like forced marchers,
and declared that the sixty-two miles
listed by the road maps was only a
small portion of the distance they had
travelled. They were tired and aching,
and welcomed the opportunity Of retir-
ing early.
The advance guard of the oorps COM
pleted today the work of installing di-
rect telephone and telegraph connections
with Washington, and likewise finished
the work of constructing the field wire

from outposts in connection with the
combat maneuvers of the end of this
week and the first of next week.
No Work For Hospitals.
The field hospitals reported that there
had been no casualties nor heat pros
trations during the first day in camp
They are prepared, however, to attend
TO any accident cases on a moments
notice. ....
No untoward incidents marred the
camp life of the first day. General Har-
ries, Major Cook, and other officials are
high In their praise of the District boys.

Smith Back From Washington;
Signs Young Infielder Touted To

= NTH believes that the Wash
ington team Will train in At
lanta this spring. There has been
a. mfx-up over the question of
where the Senators are to board in
Charlottesville and It appears GER
tain that Griffith will use this se
an excuse to come 10 Atlanta,
which city he prefers above all
others as training camp.
It was only matter OF supersti-
ton that kept Griff1th from select
ing Atlanta in the first place His
team had such good luck after
training in Charlottesville, and the
teams that he has had in Atlanta
have had such i'll fortune that he
hated to make the switch on his
own responsibility. He is willing
to seize on any pretext, however.
TO make the change. This matter
will be definitely settled in a few
days.
= NTH is sending out contracts
tOud9s nc HAS uSClQ6u on JHS
salaries that he can allow the
players and doesn't expect any ma
terial trouble in getting the desired
signatures. OF course he knows
full well that there will be kicks,
but with a strict salary limit in
force ne can go only so far with
his players in the matter of salary
and when the limit is reached he
has to stop. The players who do
not want to sign at his terms will
have to discontinue playing base
ball.
Smith IS notifying his men to re-
port March 40. He has not ar
ranged FOR ten exhibition games
and he wants his men here in time
for a little preliminary work OF
course if the Senators train in At
lanta he will take on a half dozen
games with them, which will give
him a comparatively full exhibition
schedule
A signed contract was also re-
ceived from William Dohler the
youngster recommended by Charley
Alperman.

He will stick out the week in At

WHEN Smith returned to At

waiting for him his flrst 1918 con-
tracts. One came from Jack Ker-

year Herman was tipped off to
Smith by Matty Matthews, who
says he is the equal of Scotty
Walker at his best. Bill is inclined
to take this recommendation for
what it is worth-but anyhow he
signed the man and plans to use
him for awhile in the spring to
see what he can do.
Herman has been playing ball
three years. He started in the
Minnesota Wisconsin league in
1910. His averages that year were:
Batting, 237; stolen bases, So:
fielding, .915, The following year
he was in the same league, but no
records are available.
Last year Herman played nice
ball in the Southeastern and Matty
stakes his professional reputation
that he is fast enough for the
Southern.

LAJO|E IS FEARED
MORE IN PINCH
THAN COBB
By Harry CHASER.

TT was hardly necessary for the
Cleveland club to deny the re-
cent report that Nap Lajoie
would be permitted to seek pastures
new. Few Of the fans familiar
with the big Frenchman's prOwess
on the diamond believed it. and
LaTy's fame stretches far and
wide. 1t is said that he is gradual
ly slowing up, but so long as he is
able to bat as he did last year and
for many seasons previous, there
is no danger that he will have to go
back to driving hacks.
With Hans Wagner Lajoie en-
joys the distinction OF being the
two hardest propositions a big
league twirler has to face. Neither
led their respective leagues in bat
ting last season, still they are
feared more by pitchers than many
a batsman who occupies a more
prominent position in the batting
records. Ask any twirler in the
Johnson circuit who he would rath-
er pitch to in tight spot, Latoie
or Cobb, and the chances are he
viii pick the Detroit star without
hesitancy. The same applies to
Wagner as compared to other nota-
BILE batters in the National league.
They would sooner pitch to the
others. because there is d chance
to pass them purposely. To do this
to Wagner and Lajoie requires a
deal of caution and a great amount
of skill.
The pitcher is never sure that
they will agree to take four balls
in preference to a swing. If he
does serve them wide. they have
to be so far out of reach that
there is danger of a wild pitch.
With their long bats and keen eye
sight, these stars can pickle a
waste bali as hard and accurately
at times as one in the groove.
