suffered pains in the shoulder. He said

Washingtonian has followed orders.
and whenever he has pitched, has sim

work up perspiration. As soon as
this has been accomplished he has been
trotted to the gymnasium to shed his
uniform.
Like Griffith. the regulars are strong
for Cashion and Engel. as the two are
rated as members OF the old guard and
counted upon to give balance in the
matter of experience, to the staff that
has youthfulness to overcome.
Joe Boehling is getting plenty of work
because he was heavy when he re-
ported, but before many more days il is
likely that the Nirginian will be grouped
with the other veteran twirlers and told

Then they returned in safety.
