With the campaign OF 1914 hardly
we'll under way, the bidding for the
Nationals during the training season
of 1915 has already begun.
CsceoIa, Fla, is the first to come
through with an invitation. The offer
has come through A representative Of
that town, who has presented in most
aiuring fashion the advantages of the
Florida place as the proper camp site
or conditioning ball players.
Griffith has disposed of this offer by
answering that the Nationals will train
n on2 of two places, Charlottesville or
Cuba. The execrable weather that Was
eXperienced in March chilled much Of
,Irifith's enthusiasm for Virginia ard
mis- despite the fact that last year and
ne ear bvfore the Nationals came back
IA such shape that they were the SELL
sation in both Of these races.
Cuba is especially anxious 20 land the
Nationals. Before the. club lad even
eft Charlottesville this sring, Victor
Nunoz, a Cuban newspaperman, went
yer the whole situation with the Wash
ngton manager. According u Munoz,
- better grounds could be offered any
where and he is almost ready 10 give
ritten promise that the weather will
oe such that no time will be lost
through inciemency.
There the matter rests. Griffith says
4 will be Charlottesville or Cuba, but
d decision in the matter will not be
cached until the manager is through
with the present struggle that is oc-
IupyIng hs undivided attention
During the next four DAYS the hase-
ban patrons OF Washington viii Dc
Afforded an opportunity TO gauge the
Detroit club. There is no more discuss
eG team in the business today than the
Tigers
Hughey Jennings has always been
porular here. both personally and IS
manager, and the fact that he - up
there this time should add TO his draw
ting power. Detroit has always hai the
punch and this year the odense
has been immeasurably strengthened
through the bolstering OF the pitching
staff and the discovery of a man who
can play second base
From the time that Herman SchasfeT
commenced TO lose his real class as a
player, Detroit suffered through weak
ness at second, but in Kavanaugh Jen-
nings has evidently found a youngster
