BY J. ED GRILLO.

Charlottesville, Va. where the Nationals
have trained for the past two Years and
where they are scheduled to again get
themselves into condition for the coming
season. is undoubtedly one of the most
ideal training places ever visited by a
major league ball club.
Most of the big league teams go much
farther south to do their preliminary
work. yet it is questionable whether the
invasions into warm climates are as
beneficial as Charlottesville has proven.
To begin with the climate of the train
ing camp is but little different from
what it is here at home The players are
mot asked to work out in midsummer
weather, and consequently do not suffer
from the change to cool climate when
they come north.
Furthermore there is no better ball field
for spring work than Lambeth Field al
Virginia University. Well kept and sc
arranged that drenching rain does not
put it out of commission for more than
a few hours, it is possible for the players
to get in more work than do the teams
that go to the extreme south. Then there
are splendid accommodations in the col
lege gymnasium. while the system OF
housing the players all together, though
in separate houses. has proven an ideal
proposition. Furthermore, it is possible
for Griffith to regulate their diet since
he is always in close touch with the
culinary department of the camp. and
diet is a most important feature of a
training camp.
Aside from the moving picture shows,
of which there are several in Cha'iottes-
vile. there is really no other form of
amusement. All the players can do dur
ing their stay there is to put in their
time getting themselves In shape and
that really is what training camps
are for.
Griffith inaugurates a regular routine
of training. All hands to the field in
uniform every morning about 10. Vigor-
Gus practice is indulged and sometimes
a game is played before noon. In the
afternoon there is more practice and oc-
casionally another exhibition game
either with the collegians or among two
teams picked from the squad. Great care,
however, is taken in the preparing of the
pitchers They are worked out under

batting for the next two days. Then he

ent There is no let up in their work.
They are given two turns at fielding
practice every day and put in lot of
time at batting practice, in addition to
playing in the games from time to time
Breakfast is served at 7:30 and by 9
o'clock most of the players make their
way to the gym to change their street
clothes for uniforms. A light lunch at
about l O'Clock, and then a couple OF
hours or so of lounging about, when the
players are sent back to the field. 1t is

Maryland Aggies Drop Basket Ball
Game to Loyola, 13 to "a.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January 24-one of the
largest scores ever made in local COL
legiate basket ball circles was registered
by the Loyola College quint at the Rich
mond Market armory. this evening. the
Blue and Gold quint rolling up total
of S4 points against 13 for the Mary
land Agricultural five. With the excep-
ton of the first five minutes of play,
the Farmers did not have a look-in.
Their play lacked vim, they had no
team work, and when they did have
chance to net the ball they usually
failed. Their only redeeming feature
was their gameness in the face of the
overwhelming score made by the locals.

of the year. Incidentally 1t might be
that the two years experience which Bir-

beneficial. so that there Is mo way by
which the Maps can be eliminated from
consideration.
On last years form there is of course,
a lot of Improvement possible in the Ma
tionals. That the accidents to some of
the players and the illness of Foster
proved a severe handicap goes without
saying, but there will also have to be
better work done by some of the players
who were in the game constantly before
the team can expect to forge to the
front.
Indications are that Griffith will have
the strongest pitching staff in the history
of the local club. That is. of course, if
nothing goes wrong and the youngsters
picked to shine come through. But if
needs bit more than that, for the Of
fensive strength was decidedly too weak
last season to warrant picking the team
as having a good chance for the flag.
That Griffith will virtually have the same
team this season that he did last seems
assured. unless one of the many young

to take the place Of one of the seasoned
men. Last years team was trifie weak

it often happens that a player will go

ence in the teams scoring ability.
