what shape In comparison with other
American League clubs. MS ounch hap
pens to be in.
Senior Munoz tonight In Discussing the
matter was most enthusiastic. He said:
II feel confident that / shall pursuade
Mr.. Griffith to try our climate next spring
No major league club has ever trGined
over there and We have always claimed
that Havana Is the ideal spot for such
work. The Cubans will greet Mr.. Griffith
and his players with a tremendous well
come and he will never regret taking the
trip"
1t was once more a case of work in
the gymnasium for the Nationals and
this morning the pitchers limbered up
their arms for an hour or SO and in the
afternoon the regulars went through the
usual routine OF prescribed exercises.
Both squads will be in action tomor-
row morning for the last time. and few
regrets will be heard as the men embark
on the 3:3S train for the National Capital.
Southpaw John Joseph Boehling. jr..
Of Richmond, Va, Familiarity known as
Joe" celebrated today his twenty-sec-
ond birthday, confiding this fact to his
intimate friends.
Joe is just as confident as ever that he
will have a good season during the fast
approaching campaign.
Both Boehling and Walter johnson have
done a lot Of strenuous work down
here, but neither has complained Of a
lame arm while the youngsters have all
been bothered: the answer to this ac-
cordipg to Grir is that johnson and
Boehlifg kno- how to pitch and when
not to cut loose. the others do not.
Starting Monday the Nationals will be
required to re- ort 20 National Park
twice a day, where games will be played
both morning and afternoon when the
weather permits.
The dry space underneath the main
grandstand will enable the pitchers TO
work out and the others to obtain a GER
tain amount of exercise in case of rain or
a sloppy field.
The players will stage six-inning games
between themselves during the morning
and beginning Wednesday. Griff has
every day filled with outside teams for
exhibition.

picking on George Sutton, the portly Chi
csgoan. for Willie again defeated the
veteran at the Hotel Astor tonight. The
champion at ISL was involved and Hoppe
had little trouble in defending the laurels
The score was 500 to 2SS.
Hoppe gave Sutton a bit of encourage
ment by permitting his ancient rival to
hold the lead up to the eighth inning.
Youthful William executed all sorts of
difficult shots. After the fiftn inning, he
played with his old brilliancy. Sutton ex-
perienced some hard luck in MANIPULATING
masse shots, falling down several times
on seemingly simple combinations.

Brockton. Mass, March 9.-Washing-
toms aggregation of duckpin bowlers ran
into blizzard tonight when the Brock
ton All-Star team took all five games,
and also sent the Washington bowlers
home, 73S pins in the rear. in the first
half of a ten-game series The Washing
ton bowlers could not get started on the
Brockton alleys. their ball taking no hold
on the sand-papered courses whatever.
NSt a man on the BroclSton team rolled
less than 100. and Dan Smith, the lead
on man, totaled ESQ for the FIVE games.
The Brockton club counted SOS. while
the best the Washington duckpin crew
could grab was :, ,S25.
Every man on the Brockton team
rolled a curve which is a straight ball
compared to the curve rolled by Rider
and McKncw. They start a ball for
the head pin that looks as though il were
to hit No. 10. but breaks. about three
feet into the head pin. II is apparent
that IL the Brocaton bowlers try to roll
the curve in Washington, their scores
will be more or less of a joke. Harry
Krauss says that IL will be impossible
to any degree control as wide a curve

Alleys.

University of Virginia, March 90
Manager Griffith tonight held a long con-
ference behind closed doris with Douglas
Neff. the clever captain and shortstop of
the University of Virginia baseball team
and although neither the collegian or the
Old Fox cared to discuss the subject. II
is believed that Netf has agreed to sign
a Washington contract and will join
the Nationals after he is graduated from
the university In June
Neff is one of the most promising
young college ball players Griff has seen
in recent years and the Old Fox is
anxious to land him for the Climbers.
To sign a contract now would rob Nir-
ginia of its captain and star and Men
would hardly care to jeopardize his posi-
ton by such an action but he could
give Griffith his word that as soon as
college closed in June he would affix his
signature to the necessary papers and
report when ordered. This, II is believed.
Neff has done.
Neff's team mates declare that his
word Is his bond.

The Old Constitution.

The Constitution originally car
ried forty-four guns. A particular.
ly interesting history is connected
with this ship. During the war
with the Barbary powers in 1903
she was Commodore Preble's flag
ship in the Mediterranean and
played a conspicuous part during
the whole war. Lieutenant Wads-
worth, who was blown up before
Tripoii in the Ill fated Intrepid,
was one of the officers of the Con-
stltution. In the course of the war
with England in 1912 the English
papers laughed at the Constitution
and spoke of her as ga bundle of
pine boards sailing under a bit of
striped bunting" But when under
Captain Hull she captured the
English frigate Guerrero, a vessel
of nearly equal force, the people
who had before ridiculed her called
her zone of the stanchest vessels
atoat." A few months after this
victory the Constitution, then COM
manded by Captain Bainbridge,
compelled one of the finest frigates
in the British navy, the Java, to
strike its colors.

PRODUCTION IN 1913
WAS 375, 900 CARS

Even during this past year the
production increased from 100000 for
1912 to $4,000 Admitting that there
was a possible overproduction of
5000 cars, it seems absurd to express
the belief that the limit of motor car
sales has been reached. These pes
simists have been helped in their
statements by the failure of a few
weak concerns, whose passing will
benefit rather than harm the Industry
as whole. What other industry can
show so near a cleanup for the year
1913?
Figures are most interesting and
are the basis for all lines of trade.
1t is worth nothing, then, that of 375.-
600 cars, some 100000 were made bv
one company alone, whose Increase
was 70 per cent over the previous
year, with the increase of the OTTER
makers only II per cent, making an
average increase of car manufacture
of 81. per cent. The big car held its
own, but the small car increased very
rapidly. Commercial vehicles num-
bered about $4,000, which is a 100
per cent increase.

Glass POLISHING.

Glass grinding is effected by the
use of emery powder of various de-
grees of fneness. But it has been
shown that this grinding cannot be
carried beyond a certain point,
however fine a powder may. be used.
In fact, a continuation of it undoes
the work and breaks the surface I'D
again. The most finely ground
plate, if largely magnifed, is shown
to be covered with tiny bits which
no grinding will remove. The work
is therefore continued with rouge
carried on a pad of rosin, which
gradually smooths down the eleva-
tons between the pits. Hydro
fuoric acid gas corrodes glass very
rapidly, but a weak solution of it
melts away the roughened surface
and leaves fine polish underneath.
This method is used where very
fine adjustments of the surface are
