Nationals Book Games to Be
Played at Charlottesville
This Week for Griff.
By SENATOR"

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, March TO-
Twelve practice ball games are booked
for Lambeth Field this week, and Man
ager Griffith should be able to make a
few decisions regarding the ability Of
some of his candidates before next Sat-
urday. Twice a day the noble young
athletes will face the embryonic flinging
of the mound candidates, and they will
be urged to plsy just as II these games
were for the championship Of the Amer
lean League
Virginia's varsity nine. now being
coached by Jack Ryan, the Climbers
veteran scout and coach, will battle
Schaefer's Pimientas twice, but the re-
manning contests will be between the as
pirants for regular berths on the team
and those who composed 1t last season.
Manager Griffith will be on hand at all
times. watching for flashes OF that dia-
mond skhl that brings glory in the big
league,
In these practice games all the pitch
ers but Hughes, Groom. and johnson
will be used. However. Tomasso
Hughes is already in such good condi-
ton that it is not at all unlikely that he
may be found on the hill toward the
end of the week The veteran twirler
took the best of care of himself during
the winter and, accordingly. is ready
right now to pitch his best.
The veterans have lost most OF their
stiffness, thanks to the rough work out
lined for them last week. and should be-

batsman. While he has not attempted
curves yet, 1t is fair to assume that his
four or five years experience in the box
must have taught him several. He Is in
good health, a strange thing for him In
the spring. and expects to stay with the
team.
Drohan, who carries a most enticing
smile with him into his daily workout,
has not begun to cut loose with his
speed. Therefore. 1t is pretty much OF
a puzzle just what his ability is. Jack
RYAN. though. is delighted with his
style Of pitching. and has recommended
him highly to the "Old Fox" With
warm weather this week, Drohan should
be able to show some Of his class in the
box at least once a day.
Buck Barton's performance Saturday
against Virginia was al that could have

son. The Washington sandlotter dis

COMMISSION AFTER
BREAKERS OF LAW
State Athletic Commission
Wants Names of Men Who
Tempted Mcfarland.

NEW YORK, March I0.-Aroused
by what they consider a serious men,
ace to the integrity of the Frawley
boxing law, under which the game
has fourished in this State, members
of the State athletic commission
stated today that IL Packey McFar-
land, the Chicago lightweight, would
furnish them the names of certain
persons who tried to make the stock
yard champion bet on himself in his
bout here with Jack Britton. last Fri
day night, the offenders would be
barred forever from participating in
the sport.
McFarland's declarations following
his easy victory over the local bo,
have convinced many that he spoke
the truth. 1t is pointed out that he
had nothing to lose by putting up
his money. as it was a foregone con-
c1usion that he would come of vic
torious. In view of this fact, tho
Chicago fighter is given credit for
observing the letter of the Frawlev
law, which states specifically that
there shall be no betting on results
This rule has worked admirably
for the advancement of the game In
this State and the trainers of the law
are given credit for the reform which
succeeded many evils existing under
the old Horton statute.

Manager Griffith expects great things
of the Carolina curver this season. He
was good enough last year for green
pitcher, but with that years expert
ence on his shoulders. the big fellow
should be one of the big winners in the
American League.
Joe Engel has gained an inch in
height and fifteen pounds In weight.
The former milk bottle kid Of the
Climbers should weigh 175 pounds strip
ped by the time the bell rings. He Is
working out carefully this season. not
as he had here last spring when he
was unable to raise his salary whip
for more than a week. Both Cashion
and Engel are now being taught to
watch the bases. this being their prtn-
cipal weakness in 1872
Two more pitchers seem worthy OF all
the attention being given them. Elliott
Dent, drafted from the Newark club OF
the International League, and Tom Dro-
han, winning performer for the Kewa-
nee club, Of the Central Association.
therefore, is not yet in quite as good
condition. but he has shown enough
. to warrant his being given complete
trial before being let so to Columbus,
of the American Association, the club
which drew him in the back draft from
the big show.
Dent Touted Highly.
Dent has been touted highly by all
baseball experts who have seen him at
work. His pitching style Is perfectly
