The Washington times., 1914-03-18

back in the engagement this afternoon
Mcbride is a player who seldom misses
"A game, and he thought IL advisable
not to take chances when there was
nothing in particular at stake.
Captain Neff. of Virginia. who is en-
! pected to join the Nationals next sum
rner if he decides to play professional
ball made most favorable impression
upon his probable messmates of the fu-
ture by his work in the exhibition
game.
Neff played a fast game in the field
and came through with A double and a
single as his contribution to Virginia S
offense.
Mickey Guy. a Washingtonian, playing
center field for the Orange and Blue men. was
a big factor IN the collegians IN holding the
Grifs to such a close score Three times he
sprinted and cut down flies. his catch Of
Gandils lone drive in the eighth inning being
the best piece Of outhelding OF the afternoon.
Johnson fooled the Capitslite into striking
out the first time up. but he worked Cash
ion for a base on balls and then smashed
out a single when the home team was in the
mids, OF a rally. Guy seems to have his job
in the field cinched for the collegiate baseball
season that is about to begin.
Walter johnson struck out four hatters n,
three innings. without resort,.s tr curve
ball of any sort. He simply whizzed them
through. without any particular effort ard
John Mumfords arm is suffering from Il
slight strain and he loafed yesterday. as did
Billy Lee. who has thrown so much that
he can hardly get his right hand above his
shoulder.
One of the features of the games here is
the umpiring of Nick Altrock He puts
amused the crowd by dividing his lime be-
tween making decisions and coaching the
Virginia track team from distance.
While almost a perfect plant for football.
Lambeth field is not calculated TO bring out
the best baseball there is in a man
Joseph A. Hurney. Paul Sinonton and A.
= sherman are among the members Of the
loyal legion who have come here to see what
camp life of a ball player looks like.
Mike Martin has rugged up a specially Pat
termed rubber shirt for the protection Of Joe
EnseIs arm. II covers the whole shoulder
shielding the part of his body that caused no
little worry for several days last week Over
the rubber. Engel wears q yinegar-soak.i
red wooden shirt, the combtnation coTerinr
keeping the muscles OF the affected part
warm at all times
Time and again We have heard baseball
lo4ioWers ask why IL is that the inhelders Go
ncS wear some sort o: protection agaiasr the
SPIKES Of runners who have TO be touched on
the lines
