The Bankers would have been I'm mighty
poor shape to go against Richmond
Saturday had il not been for the fact
that they are playing the game this
week against team OF All-stars. Their
work yesterday was very loose. which
men have had. With the work OF the
next two days, though, it is fairly sure
that the boys will get back In shape.
One factor that is going to work much
in favor Of the Bank boys is that Hof-
fecker and F1enle will both be here TO
make the trip. These two men have been
the mainstays In the box during the
entire season, and, with Murphy. should
prove to be much more formidable In
hurting than any men the Richmond
club can muster unless 1t has greatly
improved aggregation since it ap-
peared here.
Buck Barton. who hurled the last in
ming for the All-stars against the
Bankers yesterday, is much improved
twirler over what he was last year.
There is hardly any comparison between
what he Is now and when he was shoot
is better looking in every way. having
more speed and handling himself gen.
orally in a much improved way Greene,
the former Catholic University lad, has
also been much benefited by his stay in
professional ball.
It is welcome news to the friends OF
Joe Giebel to hear that he has been
drafted by the Athletics. Joe has been
in the South Atlantic League for three
years, and there has never been q season
when he was not rated as the leading
catcher. 1t is. indeed. big surprise
that he has not gone up before; 1t is
we'll known that he has been touted high
ly by several major league scouts.
Joe started playing ball on the lots In
this city. He did SO well In the De-
partmental League that he was sent to
Savannah by Bob Doyle. That Joe will
the bat with Connie Mack's aggregation
Is hoped by all his friends. and that he
has good chance is not doubted.
Zapponi who was to have captained
the Central High School eleven this year.
has entered Georgetown. He will go out
for the loot ball team some time this
week. The former Central and Business
boy is probably In better shape right now
than any other man on the Blue and
Gray squad.
He has been rowing all the year as a
member Of the Potomac eight, and there
is not much doubt that he could step
right into a game. Zapponi has not de-
cided just what position he will try for,
but it Is likely that he will go out for
one OF the guards or an end.
Whether or not Van Dyne will be back
on the Hilltop this season IL not definitely
known. He was undecided a short time
ago as to what he would do in regard to
returning to Georgetown. Indications
point to his return, but there is the pos
sibility that he will not.
In the game in which he worked last
year Van Dyne did some mighty credita-
bic work. He showed himself able to
advance the bali well and to play de-
fensively above the average every time
he got trial. He should prove himself
great deal more capable this fall IL he
again goes out for the team.
