BY ]. ED GRILLO.

There are now fourteen pitchers on
Griffith's list. and, barring four, none OF
them has had what might be called ma
jor league experience. The ten recruits
will, of course. be given a thorough trial,
and If two of them make good Griffith
will have occasion to be we'll satisfied.
There may, of course, be more than TWO
make good. but that would be remark
able instance when the fact is taken into
consideration that there are four or hve
of Griffiths youngsters who have never
had minor league experience and must
necessarily be rather green for major
league work.
But there may be some future stars
among the lot, and it is for this purpose
that Griffith has secured SO many young
twirlers All those who give promise
will be farmed out and after they have
developed they can be used to replenish
the Nationals staff.
Under existing conditions in base ball
1t is absolutely impossible for major
league club to hold it's own unless 1t has
minor league connections where it can
develop its own players. The demand for
playing material Is so strong with sixteen
clubs in the field that the supply is
rather short and the club which hopes
to build up it's team with what it can
buy and draft in the fall Is not apt to
be a success Connie Mack has young
sters planted in all parts OF the country
from which he can draw from time to
time as they show the required form.
Johnny Evers proposes to teach his
players the bunting game during their
stay In the south. Barring very few
players, the bunt is almost lost art
There was a time when every team re-
sorted to it during it's games, but then IT
gave way to the hit-and-run play. Many
a ball game was won by the old Balti-
more team-When 1t won pennants-by a.
system of bunting. This was usually re-
sorted to at unexpected times. had the ef-
feet of rafting the opposition and send
ing the pitcher skyWard. These days,
however, the bunt is but seldom resorted
to for anything but sacrifice, and the
game has not been advanced by the elm
ination Of this play.
Sporting Editor Star:
Please print this lineup of old-timers
in your daily column and see II these old
boys would not make any team OF young
sters get hustle on them.

Plank, pitchers: Stahl. first base; Lajoie,
second base: Turner. third base; Wallace,

That would undoubtedly make a fairly
good ball team, though 1t would not cut
much of figure in either of the major
league races, because 1t would lack speed,

little or no chance.

even the Chalmer-chosen hero's perform
ance in the way of grabbing fly balls and
clinging to them. He got under 3S1 in
the course of the season and had twenty
assists which gives him a total OF 4Ol
accepted chances.
Third place in the number Of putouts
goes to Clyde Milan, who plucked 800
flies. Clyde also Is third in total accepted
chances. having 357. including his 81 as
sists Ty Cobb is fourth with 324 kill
ings and 81 assists.
1t will be noticed that all OF these hard
workers are center felders. the oppOrtu-
mites for covering ground in that garden
being greater than in any other position
of the outfield.
Lewis Kills Many.
Duffy Lewis of Boston was busiest of
the left flelders with 3O1 putouts and %
assists. while Dan Moeller is entitled to
first honors among the regular right field
ers with - putouts and Is assists. Joe
Jackson of Cleveland also did a lot of
work in right garden. but some Of his
273 putouts and so assists were achieved
in other meadow stations.
Speaker probably owes it to the great
number Of throwing chances which came
his way that he topped his own club and
the league in outtleld assists The figures
on assists for the Boston trio really do
not represent the dctuai hedVlnS dpities
of the three men, for Spoke had three
chances to fling to two for each OF the
others. 1t is a question among base ball
critics and one that always brings on an
argument whether the brilliant Texan has
stronger wing than Hooper or more
accurate one than Lewis. The writer 6
personal opinion is that Hooper is the
strongest thrower of the three and Lewis
the most accurate, while Speaker COM
bines speed and aim for higher per-
centage of efficiency than either of his
comrades.

NEW YORK, March children
may be brought into the family of a

This was the exclamation today OF
many women teachers in the New York
schools. where the question of mar
ried teachers right to a leave Of alb
sence to bear a child is acute. after
reading the story Of the adoption by
two spinster teachers of a six-months-
old baby.
Miss Louise c. NJ. Habermeyer and
Miss Mary II. Holms. both teachers in
Erasmus Hall school, adopted the baby
and with the aid of a trained nurse
are rearing it in the home they occu-
py. Instead of devoting themselves to
cats or dogs, or both, Miss Haber-
meyer and Miss Holmes, according to
their friends, decided it would be bet
ter to adopt a baby. They could rear
and thereby give something to the
world The child was secured from an
orphan asylum.
The board of education refused to
grant Mrs. Frank d. Edgell, a teacher
in the same school, leave of absence
to bear a child, which she applied for
in January, and when she stopped her
work. she was held in contempt of the
board. But the board, as thefteachers
point out, can not prevent Miss Hab-
ermeyer and Miss Holmes from keep
