Ii Manager Griffith takes his entire
troupe to Charlottesville this spring,
and IL is now his intention to do so, he

Lambeth field include ',Zeb" Milan, Dan
Moeller, Howard Shanks, Jacinto Calvo,
Joe Gedeon, Joe Connolly, Harry Wei

army descends upon Charlottesville.
Manager Griffith plans TO have two
practice sessions every day. He will
divide his squad in two, mixing the
veterans with the youngsters. The first
SQUAD will generally begin to practice
about an hour before the second. This
is necessary. on account Of the rather

IN Is more than probable that Manager
Griffith will commence wedding out tine
!mpossibles before he brings MS Dig
squad back to Washington. HE did TINS
last year. and he will not waste time
next March with players who nave no
possible chance of hanging on.
As soon as the players have got into
fair shape, the regular practice games
will start. This is always delight in
the training camp. for the men quickly
tire of batting practice. and long for
regular game to whet their appetites
for the coming summer. Several games
will be played with the University Of
Virginia varsity nine. and II Is possible
that the Montreal team, which will also
train at Charlottesville. may be drawn
into a xame before the Climbers leave
for home.
