Charlottesville, Va, Feb B.-Thc I'M
expected rise in temperature today makes
II practically certain that by Saturday
the young players comprising the ad-
vance guard of the Washington baseball
club will be able to work on Lambeth
Field.
Messrs Ryan and Martin. In charge OF
the squad, had the boys on the wooden
saucer track opposite Fayerweather
gymnasium this afternoon, work consist
ing of tossing the ball and winding up
with lively run on the pine boards. extra
work being meted out to the quartet OF
fat boys
The weather cleared up in fine shape
this morning. and Ryan did not fail to
take advantage OF the opportunity to be
outside He had all the players wrap
up warm with heavy shirts and sweaters.
and kept them on the board track for
more than an hour Altrock served as a
substitute for Eddie Ainsmith, who left
for Washington after the morning prac-
tice. and though Nick failed to find
left-handed catchers nit, made out fairly
well with one to fit his right paw.
Ainsmith will return Sunday with Man
ager Griffith, and his lcud voice. always
urging the boys to put pep into their
practice, was missed this afternoon.
The ball park inield dried out nicely to-
day. and Ryan spent a good deal of time
supervising the squad OF men who arc
trying to put il in shape. One more day
like today will clear the snow OF the en-
tire field, and 1t would not be at all sur
prising IL the squad went down to 1t for
their practice Saturday morning. The
boys got a great deal Of satisfaction out
OF being able to play outside and the
work took on more OF an aspect OF real
baseball than heretofore.
Some one suggested to Gallia that they
thought perhaps the reason for his delay
In reporting was that he had been ap-
preached by the Federal League promot-
ers. but the Texan denied having heard
anything al all from them. and intimated
that II would have made no difference to
him had II been true. He said: What's
the use. That is an entirely new organi-
zation which will surprise a great many
if II is able TO pull through the season.
so why take a chance like that when you
are being treated right with a good
club"
II probably will not be long before
a good many others will see the logic
Of Gallia's argument and put to rest
the fears OF the big league managers.
Jack Mumford and Doc Ayres are
both having their troubles trying to
get down to weight. Neither feels that
lie will be able TO do himself justice
carrying the surplus avoirdupois they
have at present. and. consequently. are
taking a little more strenuous work
than the others.
Jack Bentley seems to be enjoying
the training TO the utmost. lie is n
cool-headed fellow and looks as though
one Of his chief assets Is the manner
in which he uses that branch of his
anatomy. This is a feature always ap-
preciated by the veterans in baseball
more than any other. and unless he
gets excited when things get going

DE PALMA Wins
BIG CUP RACE
Barney Old6eld Is Forced to
Take Second Money in the
Vanderbilt Auto Event.
MONSTER THRONG OUT
Santa Monica Course Fringed by
Crowd of 10000 Spectators.
Old6eld's Stops Fatal.

Los Angeles. Feb. 26.-De Palma and
old1eld. Again automobile history is
written around these two names. They
tell the story of the Vanderbilt Cup
race run today over Santa Monica s
famous course and witnessed by 120.-
600 spectators.
Fate aifted and sorted the field of
fifteen starters until only five cars were
left, and then brought the two old
rivals into the most dramatic speed
duel ever witnessed on the Pacific
Coast Increasing in excitement AMI
intensity with every mile, the climax
came with De Palma in his MercedNs
flashing across the finishing tape 200
yards ahead of Oldfeld in his Mercer.
Elapsed time announced by officials
showed that Dc Palma covered the 81
miles in hours SO minutes IL seconds.
Oldfield's time was hours, 50 minutes
] second.
This gave De Palma his second Wander
bilt victory by one minute twenty sec
onds. Reduced to a miles per hour basis,
De Palmas time showed that he av=T-
aged 75.5 miles for the entire distance.
This means that for every second Of his
elapsed time he averaged 10 feet His
speed varied between 50 miles an hour on
:he straightaways to 80 miles on the
Nevada avenue curve.
William Carlson, jr.. in a Mason, fin
ished third in 4 hours . minutes and -
seconds: Earl Cooper brought his Stutz
in fourth position in hours 4 minutes
and seconds, and George Joerimann,
driving a Touraine. finished fifth.
Not a Single Injury.
The race was conducted without a sin
gle injury TO driver or spectator, and 10
Chief of Police Sandal goes the credit
of the best patrolled course In the his
tory of the Vanderbilt cup.
De Palma's average is under the world S
record held on the same course by Teddy
Tetzlaff. But he established two records
for the famed Vanderbilt race. He raised
the average Of the race from the TAOS
miles per hour set by Ralph Mulford,
and he is the first Vanderbilt winner to
go through the distance without a stop.
And OH that latter fact is based largely
his victory. Oldfield made three stops at
the pits, anyone of which reduced his
running times enough to offset Dc
Palma's winning margin. So while DE
Palma retains the cup, gets the big share
of the $500 of the purse, and is one OF
the most wonderful drivers the world
ever saw. Oldfield is no less a hero. For
the veteran drove remarkable race,
characterized by Eamcness throughout.
And it has added intense interest what
will happen when the two meet again
over long distance in the international
grand prize Saturday.

DEMOCRATS LAND
 0N JUDGE WALKER
Valdez District Attorney is Recalled by Attorney General, is a
 Street Runor.

A story has been going the rounds the past few days that Judge George R. Walker, the district attorney for the Third division, has received tel egram from Attorney General Mickey holds asking for the resignation of the Valdez official.
 No one knows how the story start ed, nor if it is founded on fact or just started because Republican heads are expected to fall into the Democratic headsman's basket in this day of Democratic control.
 pfiester Hayes, the only representa- tive of the district attorneys office at present in Valdez, denies any knowledge of the contemplated change and says that no official communi- cation regarding any proposed change has been received by him.
 Local politicians claim that Attor- ney c. E. Bunnell, the leading Dem ocratic lawyer of the Third division, will be offered the position if he de sires it. And some claim that Will liam N'hittlesey, of Seward. will make fight to secure the job, while a number mention T. J. Donohoe as a possible candidate.
