MOELLER'S ARM Is WELL
By WILLIAM PEET.

Clyde Milan. the Tennessee FLYER, Jay
Carl Cashion. the Carolina Curver Dare
Devil Dan Moeller. and the watch-charm
inhelder. Ray Morgan. members of the
Nationals, reached Washington yesterday
and announced that they we're ready
for the training camp season to start.
Danny Moeller has added fifteen pounds
in weight ancc the 1912 season closed
and looks the perfect picture of health.
Carl Cashion is also a trifle overweight,
while Clyde Milan. strange il may
seem, is few pounds lighter than when
he packed his favorite bat away in moth
balls last October, but declares he never
felt better in his life.
Milan had planned to meet Walter
Johnson in Indiana polls Yesterday, but
probably on account of the late trains,
Walter did not show up at the appointed
time and the outfielder decided to come
right through to Washington. Johnson
is expected on an early train this morn
ing.
With Henry. Hughes. Gandil Laporte
Mcbride. Engel. and Williams already in
Washington. the only other regulars un-
accounted for are Johnson, Foster.
Schaefer Altrock. Groom. and Howard
Shanks. all of whom are scheduled to
arrive to-day.
Danny Moeller's colap psible shoulder.
which bothered him lot last season. is
entirely well. according TO the outfielder,
who asserts that it has not given him
a mite Of trouble all winter.
Il had an osteopath treat my shoulder
for a month. Moeller said and he
helped me a whole lot. Then | put my
self through a systematic course OF
exercise in order to strengthen the iiSa-
ments ] feel confident that my arm
will not cause me any more trouble. but.
of course cannot tell until / have
tested it out sliding to a base.
When told that Griff had a lot of
young outfielders who might make him
hustle to hold his job in right HELD
NoelIer lauGhingly replied. The more
the merrier. 1t is possible that Griff may
nick up a man who looks better to him
than me. but from the way l ieei now,
the newcomer will have to travel some.
MoelIer's added weight docs not
bother him in the least. He says II
will all come off before the regular
season opens. and that he will be the
better for 1t. as 1t will give him some
thing on which to work.
Danny has loafed all winter at ms
home in Des Moines. Iowa. and was
lust aS optimistic as the others that
Ihr Nationals this season had n grand
chance to breeze home with the pen
nant. provided the breaks in luck come
their way.
Carl Cashion during the past month
has been pitching every pleasant DAY
in an attempt to gain control The
weather down in Davidson. \. c, his
home. has been ideal, he says, and he
states that he believes he has at last
mastered the art of putting the ball
over th" plate.
Th, last game Cashion pitched for
The Nationals was played the day after
The American League season closed.

johnson. of Washington. and Russell
Ford. of New York. were the twirlers
slated to work. according TO the press,
but neither of them put in an appear
ance.
Cashion relieved Nick Altrock for the
Nationals after the third inning, and
his bulk. coupled with tremendous
speed. led most of the fans to believe
that Cashion was indeed the great
Johnson: in fact. the blNacher bugs
crowded around Cashion after the con-
fic,. everybody wanting to shake hands
with him and crying out. oh. you
j Johnson, You're some pitcher"
Strange to relate, during that game
Cashion had almost perfect control. Tfo
only allowed P couple of hits. famed
eight or nine. and did not give base
on balls.
Clyde Milan admits h" i trhe um-
dor weight. due he claims TO winter
spent in hard work, with long hunting
trips to break the monotony, but the
crack outtielder is not worrying. He
will probably be ordered to take things
easy for couple OF weeks. as Griff
will hardly take chances on Milans 60
ing stale in mid-season.
Ray Morgan announces that he is here
until the regulars start for Charlotts-
willie Tuesday. He is a triie heavy but
Just as full of confidence as ever that he
will be Grif-s regular second baseman
this season.
Long Tom Hughes during a conversa-
tion with the writer recently said he was
glad to hear that Griff intended to give
young Scheer another chance this sea-
son. Hughes believes that Scheer has
the makinss of great little ball PLAYER.
II will be remembered that last year
while in Charlottesville Srheer was af-
fiicted with quincy. and was in no kind
of shape to do himself Justice, He
was sent back to Youngstown, Ohio,
whence he was purchased. and during
the summer played such grand ball
that Griff put in a draft for him.
Scheer can play second base and also
the outfield. and may upset a lot of dope.
as did young Howard Shanks during the
1872 season.
