will supplant Fletcher at short field for
the Giants. Fletcher's work in the last
worlds series was far below the major
league standard and he. more than any
one else. was responsible for the victory
of the Red Sox. Shafer, while. not as ex-
perienced player as Fletcher seems to
have struck McGraw's eye and it is un-
derstood that he will start the season

1t seems assured that the outfield will be
kept intact.
1t often happens that a useful PLAYER
is sent to the minors and less compe-
tent one secured in his place. The desire
to have new faces often stands in the
way of good judgment. Cleveland. for
instance. figured that the days of Fred
F'alkenberg were numbered, so far as the
major leagues are concerned, and sent
him to Toledo In his place several vouno
pitchers were brought in, but after a two.
year trial none of them is believed tn he

been recalled and will get another chance
In fast company.
One is often led to wonder, when the
remembrance OF Joe Woods and Walter
JohnsOn'S speed comes before him II
there ever will come a time when the
pitchers smoke will be too hot to handle.
says the Cleveland Leader.
Players who know declare that ii was
due to Walters speed alone which drove
Charlie Street out OF the league. In 1911
Street was way up at the top in number of
games caught. His name was known ALI
about the circuit. In 1912 he was In the
minors, his hands knocked almost out of
shape by the terrific shoots of johnson.
VIII Cady OF Boston meet a similar
fate? And, will the eventual outcome be
a heavier glove for the receiver? These
are questions for the future and for the
solution Of which all fans eagerly look.
Catchers who have handled Johnson's
delivery insist that he is no more difficult
to catch than other pitchers. It is also a
mistaken impression to blame Streets
drop to the minors to Johnson's speed.
There is nothing wrong with Streets
hands today; 1t was the failing of HIS
throwing arm that sent Gabby out OF the
majors AS a mere receiver he is just as
capable today as he ever was

With Ryan Pitching.

row and Monday and Cath

BY II. c. BYRD.

! The Catholic University nine is sched-
uled to meet Amherst this afternoon The
| BrooklanderS should get away with an
other victory unless the northern nine
shows better form than it has In the
other games in which it has appeared
in this section.
1t is reported that the intention is 10
send Ryan in to do the pitching. with
the possibility of him being relieved dur
ing the last two or three innings by
Greene. Greene will likely be sent in dur
ing that period, in order that he may get
a good workout. SO as to be in the
best of shape when he goes against Cor
nell next Tuesday. No chances Will be
taken in the Amherst game, though, and
il Ryan is started he will give way to
Greene if danger threatens.
Amherst won from Virginia by the mar
gin of one run. 1t went into the ninth in
ming of the game against the Charlottes-
vile team with the score standing to
against it. BY a combination of hits and
errors five runs were tailed. Yesterday
Trinity College proved too much for the
team from Massachusetts,. and it scored
a 7-to-O victory over the northerners
Georgetown is scheduled to meet Cor
nell tomorrow. The Blue and Gray nine
will send Fienle in to do the pitching and,
with him in good shape, as he seems to
be, well-pitched game should be the re-
suit. With good pitching the Blue and
Gray team will show mighty well against
the Ithaca nine. Notwithstanding the poor
work it has done so far. late start
Handicapped the Hilltoppers and they are
just beginning to show something of what
they should,
Cornell will come here for games with
the Georgetown nine tomorrow and Mon
day The team Is of about It's general
strength, and, according to what 1t has
shown in previous seasons. should be able
to go we'll against both the local schools.
Georgetown won from the Maryland
Agricultural College team yesterday be-
cause 1t played the better ball. The
Farmers put up game that was hardly
up to their standard, while Georgetown
showed better form than it has evil
denced in the majority of its contests.
The inability of the Aggies to hit the ball
was as much their undoing as anything
else. They seemed unable to connect
with the sphere consistently, and Lynch
did not have any too much stuff on the
ball either. Georgetown probably hit bet
ter than in any contest in which it has
taken part SO far.
With the exception of one inning, Hof-
fecker pitched good ball for the Aggies.
In that period he was wild, which was
due probably to the fact that he had been
unable to get in the amount of work nec-
essary to put him in good condition.

GEORGETOWN PLAYS
FRESHMEN TODAY
Will Meet First Year Team in
Nine-Inning Game.
Lynch Does Well.

1t is safe to say that the Blue and Gray
base ball team has struck it's true form,
and that Georgetown will be able to win
the majority of the remaining games.
With Davis on third base yesterday, the
team never looked any better. Davis adds
a great deal of strength to the team. He
is one of the most active players in the
lineup, and keeps the team constantly
on the jump. Davis is without doubt one
of the cleverest ball players on the
Georgetown nine.
Coach Harley used Lynch in the box
yesterday, and this youngster came
through with 81 victory. Coach Har-
ley of the Blue and Gray intended to use
Fienle. but took chance on young Lynch.
1t can be said of Lynch that he is a
clever pitcher. and If given sufficient work
will prove to be a valuable twirler to the
team in the remaining games. The Aggies
were unable to hit Lynch to any great
extent.
Today Coach Harley intends to hold
another game with the freshmen team,
at the hilltop. The freshmen have
a fairly strong team. and for that
reason the coach believes that
great deal of good can be accom-
plished by playing a game each day.
Monday and Tuesday previous to the last
two games the. Georgetown team played
the prep school nine, and it is needless
to say that the team benefited by such
games. Opposition Is what the team
needs and such contests furnish the men
great deal of opposition.
Georgetown will be able to give Cornell
two good games tomorrow and Mon
day. The team ls primed Tor these two
big games, and Coach Harley is more
than anxious to win them, as the. Cor
nell team is usually a very strong one,
and for this reason Coach farley decided
before yesterdays game that Fienie
would be used in the first game against
Cornell.
This lad has had one week to rest and
is in the best of shape for tomorrow s
game. Lynch who showed to such good
advantage in yesterdays game, will most
likely be sent in against Cornell Monday
His good showing yesterday entities him
to pitch the game Monday.

While 1t is. of course, true that good
pennant, the Importance of this depart
ment must not be overlooked. team
like the Nationals, for instance. has to
depend good deal on its pitching, as ii
is not strong hitting team. If Griffith
pitchers hold up their end there is a good
chance for the team to give a good ac-
count of itself in the coming race.
The chances are that Griffith will have
ularly and hold the opposing teams in
check. There is. of course. no doubt
about johnson, Groom or Hughes and
there Is every reason to believe that this
staff will be enforced by Cashion, Engel
and Gallia. Six pitchers all in working
order would be ample strength to carry
the team along. In fact, the team will
need this large a force If 1t hopes to get
through the first month of the season
with respectable percentage. Having
twenty-one games out of the first twen-
ty-seven with Boston and Philadelphia
can either make or break the Nationals.
To make good showing against these
teams during this period would give the
locals an immense advantage. and the
only way that this can be accomplished Is
to have some high class pitching.
1t was unnecessary for McGraw to an
nounce that he intends to hold on to Jim
Thorpe Any one at all familiar with Nc
Graw's system knows that he does not
let ball players who show the slightest
chance to improve get away from
him, and from all accounts Thorpe has
shown enough to warrant his retention,
though he is not yet of major league cal
iber. 1t is not expected that even Thorpe
can make a star out OF himself without
the necessary experience.
Manager Birmingham of the Maps con-
tends that the scoring in the American
League is much too strict and that play
ers do not get the number of hits that
they are really entitled to- If that opin-
ion prevails among Birmingham's players
he is in bad way, for ball team which
Is interested in the base hit column only
never has proven much of a success.
Howard Shanks has not yet shown the
form that he displayed last season. There
Is no reason. however. why he should not
steadily improve and put up the same
satisfactory game that he did last sea-
son. Shanks is sure to be given every
chance to retain his position. There will
be no experimenting in left field for some
time to come. and perhaps not at all il
Shanks begins to go as he should. The
youngster had all the earmarks last sea-
son of making wonderful ball player.
He proved himself one of the greatest of
fielders and looked to be constantly i'm
proving with the bat. but this spring he
has not shown to advantage.
The Nationals have Jared well in the
matter of picking up promising young
sters this spring. True, only few OF
the large bunch will be retained, but
there are several who have been sent into
the minors and stand good chance to
come back. Considering that only very
small percentage of the young players
who are brought UP for trial every spring
are retained, the fact that Griffith will
probably keep Acosta, Calvo. Williams
and Gedeon, not to speak of the pitch
ers, ID q very fair showing.
It seems as good as settled that Shafel

Minor league umpires who aspire to

Of course, there are thousand and one
advantages a big Lacquer has over a

of It's strenuosity.
Major league umpires are just as liable
to err as the minor leaguers, and the
major league crowds are just as quick to
inform the arbitrator of his mistakes as
are the small league fans. The big

Silk was forced to admit that the hours

umpire's many woes and few joys.

which netted the victors two runs, proved
to be enough to give Virginia the victory.
1t is said that Virginia has an excep-

does not get enough runs to win an ordi-
