bR|CKLEY PUTS
SHOT IN FORM
HARyARD'S GREAT FOOTBALL
PLAYER SENDING WEIGHT
CLOSE TO RECORD MARK.

WASHINGTON. Feb. a2.-Chariie
can half back, who has been putting
the sixteen-pound shot near the rec
ord mark consistently all winter. VIII
In all probability put In an appearance
in that even in the big Georgetown In
door track meet in this city on March
7. According to information received
on the Hilltop today, Manager Car
ter's invitation to have Brickley en-
tered, has been acted upon favora bly,
by the Crimson management, so that
while Harvard will have no relay con-
testing in the Georgetown games her
individual stars, including Brickley
make Il try for the Blue and Gray
honors.
Tho prowess Of tho Big Crimson
football star on the track and In
field events has been somewhat over
Swallowed by his meteroic Football
career. but 1t Is amply attested TO by
the fact that Brickley accompanied
the last Olympic team to Sweden,
competing in both the shot pat and
the short dashes. in both of which he
reached the semi finals and was only
put out In tho last round.
Jim Thorpe, the big Carlisle Indian,
VINO mas been great IaVorlte IN past
meets. will be greatly missed thfs
year. and 1t Is the attention OF Man
ager Carter to have Brickley fill the
big Indians place for Washington
sport followers. anasmuch as tho
speciality OF both was the shot put,
despite the fact that both were first
class all-around men.
The number OF applications filed
and entries passed upon already as
sures a greater galaxy OF stars than
ever before gathered at a meet m
Washington. The usual assembly Of
club contests. high school relays. and
open interscholastic events will be
followed. all OF which WITH be run or
between. the main collegiate events of
the evening. %
A special effort is also being made
so that natural or particular rivals
will meet in dual events, so that this
system will inaugufate the greatest
combinations of one and two mile re-
lays between the most prominent uni
versftfes IN the East ana South, ever
gathered under Georgetown auspices.

SHAW THOUGHT To
Be GOOD MATERIAL

The most promising OF Griffith 3
young pitchers is believed To be Jim
Shaw. Good judges of pitching ma
teEiai consider Shaw ti1t, most likely
recruit who has dropped into the ma
jors in several years. Last season was
Shaw's first year in professional base
ball. He made an enviable record
with York In the Tri-State league, and
in the few games he pitched for the
Nationals he displayed marked ability,
Shaw has not only benefited by this
q lot during the winter. He is now
one of the big men Of Grifiiths pitch
ing staff, standing well over six feet
and weighing over 1875 pounds with
out having an ounce Of fat on his
frame.
With the benefits of good handling
this spring and lot OF wise tutors 10
teach him the fine points Of the game.
Griffith and his advisers figure that
Shaw will prove a capable running
mate for Walter Johnson He is
barely out OF his teens, but has every
action Of a great pitcher.
Last spring Shaw was late report
ing and slow to get under way. This
yea rhe will have the benefit of early
work and good handling and Is apt to
be in his best form from the outset
of the season. If Shaw comes up To
expectations the pitching staff OF the
Nationals witt he one OF the pgsr III
the circuit.

STAHL MUST GET
FABULOUS SALARY

II Jake Stahl has accepted the man.
league club 1t goes without saying
that he has been rendered fabulous
salary. Nothing else could have In
duced Stah to return TO the game
after his experience with the Boston
club. He was thoroughly soured on
the sport after he got out of Boston.
and the Feds must have come across
with some real Money to get him
to join their forces.
Whether Stah1 is capable man
ager or not remains to be shown. The
fact that he won the worlds title
with Boston in 1912 does not indicats
anything. He had great ball team
and the breaks. but failed absolutely
the following year, when few acci-
dents were encountered.
The Federal league is certainly .
great haven for those players who are
on the last legs of their playing ca
reer The new league will give shell.
ter TO lot of players who have seer
their best days and who are apt to
last but a year or so longer
The latest addition to the Feds ros-
ter are Earl Moore, a veteran who
seemed TO he all through last year. and
Artie Hoffman. who was turned down
by both Chicago and Pittsburg. These
players have been signed at figures
which they would have been unable to
draw when they were in their prime,
hence they are not TO be blamed Tor
taking the jump, but their berths are
not secure. for when they display ina
bility 10 hold down their end the Fed
eral league will give evidence OF not
being a charitable Institution and will
turn them adrift, contract or no con-
tract for the ten-day clause ia said to
he part of all agreements the new
league has signed.

SaWynill In japan.

There Is being erected by an Amerl
can trading company for the Comet
Kaisha Fujita Gumi at Osaka a mod
ern sawmill that Is to be fitted
throughout with the latest American
machinery for saving logs into varr
Gus dimensions OF lumber, also with
the automatic devices for handling it
from one set Of saws and planes to the
other as required. BY the use of this
modern machinery the daily output
will be greatly increased and the labor
cost lowered.
As the sawmill referred to will be
the first to be erected in Japan on the
modern American plan 1t Is believed
that 1t will be the forerunner Of many

Joker In Feds
Large Salaries

An individual identified with organ
tied baseball gave VENT 10 the follow
ing in New York the other day. which
gives some room for thought.
The Federal league is signing up
ball players at salaries reputed to be
fabulous and which are not warranted
by conditions. II these bali players re-
port to the Federal league and actual
ly play ball with that circuit they
will automatically blacklist themselves
What is to prevent any Federal league
team from discharging any or all Of
its players under the ten-aay notice.

JIM THORPE IS
GREATLY IMPROVED

According to John McGraw, Jim
Thorpe. the Indian. liz the most improv-
cd ball player imaginable. In letter
to Secretary Foster Of the New York
club. Just received. McGraw warns
Gotham to look out for n real ball
player when next they set eyes on Jim
Thorpe. Thorpe has been playing reg
ularly on the worlds tour. and 1t has
been frequently commented on by
those who are on the journey. that he
is developing into ball player OF
more than ordinary ability.
II McGraw has made Thorpe a ball
PLAYER he will have upset all caicula-
tons of those who have given 1t as
their opinion that the Indian would
never do. McGraw has always con-
tended that man of Thorpes athlet-
ie prowess could be developed into a
ball player. and he claims to be able to
prove this before the next season is

Tonight the spiders are going to play

BIRMINGHAM M0ANS
over HIS PITCHERS

Joe birmingham bemoans the fact
that his pitching staff does not look
formidable enough to hold its own
next season. The loss OF Fa1kenberg
and Blanding has left the Maps dp a
bad way The fact that Griffith Will
have but one seasoned pitcher next
season---walter Johnson---is not taken
seriously by the Cleveland critics.
Frank Bostock OF the Cleveland Press
Indicates that in the following: 1T

we can't scare up a few honest to
goodness tears and sympathize with
Clark Griffith In his wailing that the
poor old Washington club will have to
depend upon It's young twirlers this
season.

hereabouts we opine we wouldn't wall
very much. Griffs laments seemed
to have been caused by his loss of big
Bob Groom.
"'There isn't a chance for us to
win unless some of our young pitchers
come through sobs Griff. Which may
be true, but still we can't weep with
him.
"'You see we haven't even look

Walter Johnson continues Griff.
but Walter alone. Griff. with eight
amateurs behind him, could make a

also about his pitchers. our genial
friend Clarke forgets seemingly about
his young crack, Joe Boiling. not to
