GRIFF ADMITS HE NEEDS

With Additional Batter Nationals Would

Local Teams Manager.
BY I. ED GRILLO.

There isn't the slightest doubt my mind that would have

type my lineup, remarked Manager Griffith yesterday.

margin simply because lacked batting strength after passing
of batting order On the whole pitching

What the chances of obtaining player? asked
Under existing conditions almost impossible to buy fin

that such players available My scouts searched the minor

league territory would have to erect
plants in keeping with those now oper-
ated by the major league cubs to beg n
with. and. what is more, it would have
to establish an artistic standard in keep
ing with the major leagues before it
could be a real rival.
1t would require millions of dollars to
accomplish this. and the newcomer does
not appear to have that sort of financial
backing.
Infelder Witt of the Detroit team prob
ably put the finishing touches to the
an article which appeared under his
name, he pictured Ty Cobb as grand
stand player. That this bit OF literary
effort Is sure to cause some fric-
ton on the Detroit team and
more trouble for Manager Jennings
Witt seems to have been that he was
much too truthful, for he was surely
right in his statement that Collins was a
more valuable player for ball team
than Ty Cobb.
History may show that there have
been ball teams of more prowess than the
Athletics can boast of, but 1T is question
able If there ever was another team
which combined such great hitting with
Mackmen.
The old Philadelphia club, which had
such hitters as Ed Delehanty, Lajoie
Sam Thompson Billy Hamilton, Lave
Cross, Pete Childs and many others
could have outh.t the present cham
pions, no doubt, but it was not a good
ball team for all that. 1t was nothing
for that old Quaker bunch to make
fifteen or twenty hits in game. and yet
get only run or two because they had
no system.
With the Mackmen it is different. They
make their hits count and it is not only
hitting team, but it plays brilliantly in
the field and shows as much inside ball as
any other team in either circuit-a combi-
nation which when the pitching is up to
the standard is hard to beat.
That there is something in the theory
that 1t is best to train as near home
as possible seems to have been proved
by the good showing the Nationals have
made since they have trained at Char
lottesville. Griffith contended from the
outset that it was a mistake to take a
lot of players to the far south because
it took weeks when they came north to
get them accustomed to the cool weather
During the last two springs Grifhth's
team has always toed the scratch III
about as good condition as any Of its
rivals who went hundreds of miles far
ther south to do their training.
1t has been argued for years that il
requires a warm climate to get the
pitchers ready in the spring and yet
Griffith seems able to accomplish this al
Charlottesville, where the climate is very
little different from what it is here in
Washington.

ginia over Vanderbilt gives that team
an even greater appearance OF power
than have its previous contests. The
showing of the Orange and Blue this
season has been SO above what 1t has
done during the previous three seasons
that Georgetown cannot help but take no
tice that 1t must go against the strong
est eleven that has come from Charlottes-
Vile since 1909, and that it will have to
show greater strength than in any game
yet played If it is to win.
Yale's defeat at the hands Of Colgate
must have been something of sur
prise for the Dark Blue. While the Ellis
went into the game in rather crippled
condition. it was hardly thought by
them that they would lose to the minor
eleven, notwithstanding that the
smaller school has been making
rather remarkable showing. Right on
the eve Of the championship games it
must not set very well with followers
Of the Dark Blue TO have their team
lose to a minor eleven. That was one
of the big upsets of the year. and there
Is no way to account for it, other than
that Colgate played a much better
brand of foot ball. which. il true. does
not speak very well for Yale's chances
against Harvard and Princeton.
Harvards decisive defeat Of Cornell
was looked for. The Crimson has
proved SO consistently strong that II
from the Ithacans il it played in any
thing like its true form. Cornell has
shown nothing this season. beyond
holding Carlisle to a single touchdown,
for an instant that it had a chance to
do more than hold Harvard to a low
score.
The decisive defeat of Catholic Uni
versity by Washington College must
have come as a sort of an earthquake
tornado and cyclone all combined to the
Brooklanders. because they confidently
expected a victory. They figured to win
from Washington. not in a hard game.
but with ease. 1t must have been a
case of running into something much
stronger than was thought to represent
the eastern shore institution.
At times, yesterday Georgetown played
a game on the defensive that was truly
creditable and even exceptional. Atten-
ton was called to the fact a few days
ago that Georgetown would be ny
against one of the best elevens in the
country and ought to lose by four
touchdowns. and nothing better ought
proved the correctness of the assertion.
and that Georgetown was able to dis
play the strength 1t did at times was
the real surprise. The hilltoppers got
smeared plays before they were started.
and not upon a few occasions did they
drop the Indian back behind the line
OF course, that work was not consistent,
but that they were able to do 1T at all
is great deal in their favor. The de-
fensive play of Moriarty at tackle and
Costello and Murray in the backfeld
was brilliant at times. these men get
ting the runner when it seemed that
the whole Blue and Gray eleven was
being thrown off. Donnelly and Martin
did the best work Of the four ends used,
although they had an awful proposition
on their hands to stop some of the
plays sent at them.

The competition between Herreshof
and Risley proved a fine exhibition, both
appearing at their best. Herreshoff was
never down. Risley successfully came
from down and evened the match but
the strain of his grueling play in the
morning game with Walter J. Travis
told on him. and he wavered on the
last two holes.
Risley eliminated Travis in the fore
noon in hard twenty-hole match for
the honor Of meeting Herreshoff for the
supreme honor this afternoon. The
Garden City finalist defeated Richard
Mott. Huntington Valley Country Club.
