CONNIE MACK AFTER

Kahoe Sought Star
TWirler in Georgia

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. March 8.
The destination of Mike Kahoe has
been explained IN the semi-private an
nouncement that he has been at Athens.
Ga, making overtures for the star
pitcher of the University of Georgia.
It was reported here that kahoe had
been sent as an emssarr OF Griffith 5
to hold Clyde Milan AVA from the
Federal League. When he arrived here
the chief told the writer that there
was absolutely no truth in this story
and that kahoe had not gone within
several hundred miles of the Tennessee
home of the star outiie.der. 1t now de-
velops that Griffith got a tip recently
that there was real pitcher in Geor-
gia's collegiate rarks and ie sent IA
hoe in that direction to grab him off
at all costs.
In order to be thoroughly consistent
in the matter Of changeable conditions
in weather. the sun today fought it
way through the clouds, and. in site
of all the unfavorable Indicators o.
yesterday. today dawned clear
1t is still cold, but the chances are
that by evening the wal rays will

work which was DOR yesterday and

TELLS PITCHERS TO USE
MIRROR IN PERFECIlNG
THEIR STYLE. ON MOUND
Old Fox Tips Harry Harper How to Acquire More Strength and
Speed in Delivering the PiI-Grifth Is Satisfied With
Condition of His Youngsters.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. March 8
An innovation in the development Of
the Washington pitchers has been Or
Iered by Clark Griffith.
Unable to cover up a smile of sat,s-
faction At the size and general physical
appearance of the talent upon whom
he depends for the strength of his box
corps. the manager during his short
stay here. saw certain weaknesses and
imperfeCtions which he gave orders to
refine. One of these was in the deliv-
cry OF several of the men.
Together with Nick Altrock he took
Harry Harper. showed him where he
was losing time, strength and speed
by a 'fhop'' in his delivery and then
issued orders that in the future the
twirlers are to go through the motions
q pitching before mirror.
They said / was crafty when L was
pitching, but it took me a long time
TO work out the rough edges in my
work and the best help / got was by
standing before a looking glass and
seeing for myself how L looked" said
upon which he wants his men to work
before mirrors.
No matter how much you show or
try to tell a man it never makes the
same impression as when he sees lot
himself how things look.
of course, until they get outside and
settle down 10 real work it will be
impossible to get real line on the
pitchers. but you can take it from me
[ am thoroughly satisfied with what L
saw while 1 have been here. There
are some mon in the collection who
nay not do but / think we will be
able to pick out enough to give US
sufficient twirling strength.
The storm that is almost nationwide
mas not forgotten Charlottesviiie snndns in Its
light. this place was dashed for more
lhan twenty-four hours by one Of the
worst storms the section has kno @n in
a generation. While there was neither
ain nor snow, the wind was so strong
hat baseball outdoors was out Of the
question.
Up to SUNDAY night it was thought
hat Lambeth Field would soon be read =
for the athletes, but as matters now
stand, the Fairgrounds Of the CIiver-
sity of Virginia are in such shape that
Martin and Ryan are dubious about the
Probabilities of having their Charges
there for a number OF days.
In the matter Of tossing there is lit
lie of a handicap, as the FayerTeather
gymnasium is of ample proportions to
afford the players plenty of room fer
warmng,up but the cross-country run
ming is barred for a while by the con-
ditions that now exist herr.
Griffith believes that ball player
should have a week or ten days in
which to work out kinks. but once they
reach the proper condition he thinks
they should be driven to the limit II
order to bring them around prirned FOL

When he returns here Griffith expects
o find his advance guard in such shape
that he can call upon them TO 10 al
sorts of hard work without jeopardizins

Johns Hopkins Refuses to Race
Carlisle Indians at George
town Meet.

Owing to the fact that Washington
and Lee University has decided not to
send a relay team to the Georgetown
meet next Saturday night at Convention
Hall, the proposed one-mile race with
Johns Hopkins University has been
called off.
Manager Hugh T. Carter, of the
Georgetown team, who has charge of
the meet, offered to substitute In the
place Of the Washington and Lee team
Glenn warmers swarthy quartet OF In
dams. but after careful consideration
the Hopkins management has decided
that the Black and Blue will not enter
relay team.
The reason for this move is that Hop
kins will make a strong bid for the
trophy offered TO the college scoring the
greatest number of points.
The Hopkins entries were sent in last
night, and 4 squad of about twenty-five
men, with more than fifty entries, will
constitute the Hopkins representation
The fact that the University Of Virginia
will not be represented will narrow the
fight for first place 10 Hopkins and
Georgetown. as these institutions VII
be the only ones with large enougi
squads entered to make them count u

Despite the fact that n number or

the Army and Navy Preparatory team
for the coming season. announcement Is
made today at the Connecticut avenue
school that no representative nine
would lie put on the field.
Fred Newberry, who has directed the
fortunes of the Blue and White for
a numberN of years. is authority for
the statement We will have no base
ball team this year. said the baseball
coach, las we find it impossible to get
enough men together to represent the
school. The announcement was made
some time ago that re hoped to have
4 team and a schedule was partly filled
out.
Since then it has been learned that
examinations for the Army and Navy
will cut in too much ON the time gen
orally devoted to baseball. The West
Point examinations come early this
year. being held during the latter part
of the month, and the Annapolis ex-
:minations come in April.
