Today on request of President Navin,
who wanted to ascertain just how much
foundation there was for the talk that
they were contemplating signing with
the Indianapolis Federal League team.
1t appeared from what they told news
paper men before going out to the base
ball Office that there was considerable
foundation for the talk, but when they
got through with the Tiger owner they
reported that they had agreed on terms
and would sign their contracts as soon
as they received official permission
from President Fultz of the fraternity.
Both players admitted that they had
received very tempting Federal League
contracts. Bush's was so pleasing that

in early in the spring to meet some most
formidable opponents.
Coach Coogan expects to have strong
team ready when the season opens, and
If his material develops he should make
a splendid showing. In Coogan George
town has by far the most competent base

material is on hand he is sure to make
a. brilliant showing for the Blue and

Though Bonesetter Reese of 1oungs-
town has gained fame by reason OF ms
wonderful work in restoring the throwing
arms of ball players, just how ne
manipulated the injured parts has but
seldom been told. For many years Reese
has been the last resort for hundreds of
hall players who found themselves slip
ring because of weak throwing arms,
and there have been decidedly few in
stances where Reese has failed to pro-
long their careers on the ball field.
Though the Youngstown wizard is not
a physician or surgeon, he has been
given the privilege to practice by the
state of Ohio. and some of his cures are
nothing short of marvellous.
Joe EngeI of the Washington pitching

and after | got outside | picked up q bit
OF hard snow and tossed it across the
street just to see if | could throw. and
the result was astounding, for. there was
not the slightest indication of soreness or
even stiffness. The peculiar feature of
the entire affair is that though | have
suffered with my arm for some time l
never noticed that the shoulder was out
of shape by reason of the displaced
tendon. though Reese told me that
there was no doubt that this trouble had
been in existence for more than two
years. Why it is that no one ever noticed
the difference in my two shoulders before
| cannot understand, but now they are
equal exactly, and Reese assures me that
If l will allow my arm to rest until spring
I will never have any trouble again.
II always supposed that Reese's prac-
tce was limited to athletes and ball
players, but | found that just the oppo-
site is the case. When l went to keep
my engagement with him, no less than
twenty men and women from every
walk of life we're in waiting. and some of
the cures effected were simply astound-
ing. One man was there who had not
had his neck straight in six years, and

for five minutes he came out with his
neck in perfect position. Reese told me
that many ball players who could not
throw and thought their arms were going

Engel admits that in recent years he
has always felt as if his arm was Shout
der-bound. but he did not know just
what was wrong with it. He pitched
some excellent ball under these condi-
tons, though there is no doubt that the
displaced tendon was responsible for the

catchers In the next campaign. Owens
the Minneapolis club and there are rea-
sons for believing that he might fit in
nicely on the local team. A club can
hardly be too well fortified with catchers,
these days, and while Griffith could go
through the season with Henry and Ain
smith alone he would be taking a long
chance in the event either met with any
injury. Owens might fit in well on the
local team. .Rippy" Williams has held
the third catching job down for the
few games. being used principally as a
pinch hitter.
While Carl Cashion is hardly ever men,
toned as member of the local pitching
staff, he might prove the surprise of the
determined to have Cashion use nothing
BUT his underhand delivery. he may de-
volop into a most successful pitcher. One
OF the best performances that Cashion
ever showed. since joining the locals,
was his initial game in Washington
uniform. when he scored a splendid vic
tory over Big Ed Walsh. In that game
Cashion pitched underhanded almost ex-
clusively, and he was decidedly effective.
But 1t was thought best to change him
into an overland pitcher, and since
then he has not been much of a success.
But if Griffith goes through with his
plan to let Cashion pitch in a natural
way, there may be a remarkable change
in his form. Underhand pitchers are apt
to be very effective.
Joe McGinnity relied entirely on his I'M
derhand ball to fool batters, and he was
star for years. When diminutive Jack
WARRIOR is in form he is a most trouble
some individual. and he pitches almost
entirely from under his knee.
If Cashion does not have any trouble
with his arm, which he injured in a
game at Cleveland last spring, he may
prove most valuable man for the pitch
ing staff. But If Cashion fails as a
pitcher he will not be useless to the
team, for he is SO good a natural hitter
that he may be found in regular place
on the team or could be used for emer-
gencies with the stick
Having given up all hope of being able
to make any change in the makeup of
his outfield. Griffith is wishing a good
year for his three regular gardeners. He
believes that shanks, Moelier and Milan
will play a better article of ball the
coming season than they did in the last
and if this comes to pass there surely
will be no reason for finding fault with
this trio. Even though none of them
played up to his usual standard last sea-
son, it was far from being one of the
weak outfields in the circuit. Had its
hitting been a bit stronger it would
have classed well up with the best in the
league, so little difference was there in
their general playing. Milan, for in
stance. developed peculiar weakness,
that of being unable to stop ground balls
hit at him. There is no telling how
many games were lost by his blunders in
this respect, though in former years he
was always considered a splendid fielder
on ground balls. He is not apt to have
another season in which nearly every
grounder coming his way got through.

Defeats Good Shepherd Quint in Fast
Game of Basket Ball. AZ to -.

Aloysius defeaed Good Shepherd in
basket ball last night in the formers
gymnasium by score of AZ TO IL. Inc
game was faster than the score would IN
dictate, as Aloysius scored most Of Its
points during the last few minutes OF
play. The Good Shepherd team is COM
posed of boys compared to the AloysIus
men, and Notwithstanding this fact made
the home team go at top speed to finish
in the lead. Hollander, the former
GEORGETOWN star. was in the game for
the first time this year. This makes the
third former Georgetown player to be
added to the team. These two men, to-
gether with Hall and Varela. two former
Y. M. C. A. forwards. compose one of the
best teams this city has had in the indie
pendent ranks for many years and it Is
the equal of the old noted Y. NJ. Z. A.
team of many years back.
AT the opening of the game Schlosser
got the jump on hewitt and by the guards
coming down the floor showed some fine
teamwork and in few plays Hall Gagged
the ball for the first score of the game.
In the series of plays Varela got loose
and scored the second basket of the game

Freeman, who made a pretty shoot score

the next to cage the ball. which score put
his team on even terms with the club
men. This tie was soon broken by
Schlosser, who Gagged the ball by a pretty
shot from the center of the floor.
Freemen was the next to score, again
making a tie. The next four baskets
were scored by the clubmen as result
of fine passing, Schlosser making three
Of the four baskets. This ended the
first half. the score being IA to 8.
At the opening of the second half the
Good Shepherd team took up the six
point lead of the clubmen by caging
three baskets before its opponents
could get going. Keith making two Of
the three baskets. In the next few
minutes Of play Schlosser got in some
fine work and Gagged three baskets in
a row. S. Boyd and Freeman scored
two baskets in the next series of plays,
and. together with foul shot by
Freeman, ended the scoring for the
visitors. The Aloysius team started an
offensive play which the Good Shep-
herd team could not solve, and when
the game had ended the Catholics had
a score of forty-two points. Schlosser
was the star of the game, caging the
ball ten times, which made half of
the score Of the team. Hall also put up
a good game, caging six baskets. For
the visitors Keith and Freeman played
