This city will send fully two dozen to
the minors this spring. and the ma jority
of them will make good. The majority
of the local boys will receive trials with
Virginia League clubs. while several Will
report to the Erie club. of the new Inter-
state League.
One. at least, will pitch for club in the
Pacific Coast League. as Len Stanley is

on for Savannah.
Joe Geible. Dick Robertson, and Al Han
diboe will again report to the Savannah
aggregation of the South Atlantic League.
That is, Geible and Handiboe will report
at once, for Dick Robertson still says that
he viii not report unless the club meets
his salary demand. According to Harry
Dodd. sporting editor Of the Savannah
Morning News, who was in Washington
a few days ago, Robertson is ready to re-
port. but that does not agree with what
the twirler says, and he should know.
Robertson is at present coaching Tech
nical High School. and unless the Savan-
nah club comes through with a good in
crease in salary the spitball artist will
more than likely remain in town. Rob-
ertson is one of the most promising pitch
ers ever turned out Of the District, and
had it not been for his size would be in
the big show now.
Dick pitched classy ball in the Sally
circuit last season, winning the majority
of his games, while Geible and Handiboe
also played good baseball.
Harris to Play.
Kelly Harris. former star sandlotter OF
the District, who received trial with
the Baltimore club two years ago and
was forced out of the game with
broken hand. will report to the Richmond
Colts at once. Harris. when he was In

Connolly can hit, but his arm is weak
and he does not seem to be able to go
back after fly ball properly.
Scheer also can hit. but has only a
fair arm. and is slow on his feet Billy
Allen is fast as streak but weak
against 1eft-hand pitching and lacks ex-

better pall player than he has thus far
shown.

Griff will in all proba bility carry both
the Cubans as utility outfelders. Little
Acosta should some day be great ball
player. Calvo is older in years and cx-

hits the ball hard.
For the infielders Griff collected four
recruits. all second basemen. as he was
not quite satisfied with the keystone

he is sure to be carried as a utility in

fielding his position but that will all
come. He is an aggressive youngster.

the bat
Rebel Williams. the kid drafted from
the Newark tOhio) club, is another likely
looking youngster. who will in all proba-

could jump in and play third base in
case anything happened to Eddie Foster.

Another local boy who will be with the
Colts again is Johnny Mace, former
Pension Office receiver. He is already
working out with the Richmond club.
Mace caught for the Colts last summer
and put up a clever article Of ball.
Johnny did not hit up to his standard.
but he is confident that he will regain
his batting eye this year.
Three youngsters of this city will re-
port to Manager Paul Davis of the New
port News club. George Eberwine. Sam
johnson. and Andy Walker will join the
Shipbuilders tomorrow at Newport News
and will get started tomorrow afternoon
weather permitting
Johnson and Walker are outfielders
who played good ball here last summer
in the amateur leagues. Walker was
member of the Loffier club i'm the Inde-
pendence League and finished third in
the batting list. while johnson led the
Sunday School League in hitting and
also topped the outfielders in fielding, as
we'll as being the leading base stealer of
the circuit. johnson gives promise of
developing into wonderful little ball
player. and under the able coaching of
Manager Davis should be a star.
Cleveland for wichita.
Bernie Cleveland. who did the back

Western League, and will report this

had signed the local boy, but this was
found to be a mistake.
Cleveland is heavy hitter. as his
record in the Appalachian League is well
over the 300 mark. and he also is an
outfielder of note as he filled the utility
role to the queens taste last summer.
A quartet of Washington lads will re-

Districts stars with him. Phil Buscher,

will report. while Chick Davis and Earle
Steele are the other two boys Davis is
without a peer in the District when |;

while Steele is hard-hitting outfieider
Buscher needs no introduction to the
fans, as he won fame when pitching

of that circuit. King is a rafting good
infielder and fair hitter. He Is picked
by the Roanoke manager to start the

There are several more local boys who

Charlottesville, Va, March 22.-Manager

But three more days remain for practice

By WILLIAM PEET.

Charlottesville. Va. March 2.-of the
eighteen youngsters brought down to
Charlottesville by Manager Griffith for
trial three weeks ago. only eight are
expected to be retained. and Of this
number two were with the club during
a portion of the 1912 season.
Just when these youngsters will be
shipped away by Griff and to what clubs
they will be assigned is not known. The
Old Fox himself is in no hurry to get
rid of them, he says and wants to give
everybody a fair show, and has not de-
cided what men he will keep with him.
Conditions this spring and last year
are vastly different In 1912 Griffith was
stranger to the ma aiority of the play
ers. He knew that in Walter Johnson
and Clyde Milan he possessed couple
OF high-class men, for he had seen them
in action during the 1907 and 1908 sea-
sons. when he piloted the New York
Americans. OF the others he knew
nothing.
ii was up TO Griff to get himself
ball club last year. and with unusual
Judgment aided by some luck. he round
ed out team which finished in sec
ond place, a mighty good club, too. as
every fan in Washington will attest.
In building up a second place club last
year he now has something on which
to work Griff knows just what his men
can do, how far thee can go, their weak
nesses. and their strong points. He
drafted and purchased a number of
youngsters last fall and during the Win
ter. hoping that perhaps he might find
player able to replace one Of his 19l2
team. The Old Fox was not quite salts
fed with left field and second base. and
would not have been averse to adding
pitcher or two. The other positions were
filed by men than whom there are none
better in the American League.
Regulars Look Best.
For the outfield, where Shanks, Milan.
and Moeller held forth last year, there
was a possibility that either the Cubans,
Welchonce Connolly, Scheer. or Allen
might look better than the regular trio,
but thus far they have not shown any
such ability and the spring training sea-
son has but a couple of weeks more TO
run.
Howard Shanks was far from finished
ball player last year. His fielding was
above reproach. but he was the weak
sister at the bat. Danny Moeller had
one handicap. a pestiferous left upper
arm. which popped out of its socket
joint upon the least provocation- Like
the little girl who had a little curl. when
Danny was good ne was very, very
good, &c, but when he was bad he was
the-limit.
Shanks seems to have improved in his
hitting and Moeller's shoulder. by care

much stronger At any rate. Shanks and
Moeller look to be much better ball play
ers than any of the youngsters although
Scheer and Connolly are pretty sweet
hitters. and 1t is believed are almost of
major league caliber.
The Boston Nationals have claimed AL
