Griffn1en in Pretty Good
Shape for Coming Games
Pitchers Far Advanced Toward Perfect Condition. While Warm
Weather Will Bring Up the Others-Washngton Fans
Will See Real Team in Action Next Wednesday,
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, March
26.-The Griffmen leave their train
ing camp in pretty good condition,
despite all the drawbacks caused by
peculiarly local conditions. Man
ager Griffith is fortunate in having
a team composed of players who
usually report in good shape. If he
had men overweight, they would
still be too heavy to play ball. But,
as it happens, he has his players
about ready for the exhibition series
in Washington, beginning next We'd
nesday with Georgetown.
The pitchers, more than all the
others, are rapidly nearing perfect
condition. Indeed, Bentley, Harper,
Engel, Boehling, and Hopper could
go nine innings at top speed right
now while Walter Johnson needs
hardly a week more to reach top
form. The remainder of the corps of
Fingers are certain to be in shape
by the time the campaign opens.
The bulk of the squad needs all the
batting practice it will get in the exhib-
ton games coming in the next two
weeks. Some Of the men have not "hit
the dirt once yet notably Foster and
Nc Bride. They take no chances of
picking, up "sliders."., as the sores on
weather will loosen up the arms Of Fos-
ter and Gsndil. while the same balmy
breezes are expected to clear up the
collection of heavy colds sported by al!
the athletes.
Comparing this spring with the last
one, Manager Griffith has been ex.
tremeIy fortunate. He has not missed
single days work. Only twice was
he compelled to have his workouts in
rayerweather Gymnasium. The one
day II rained did not prevent work, for
the hardest stunts had been concluded
when the skies opened. However. the
absence of warm weather has retarded
| many of the men in rounding into con
dition, and they will hardly reach tor
form until the season is under way.
One thing is certain though. Wher

Ode To Rookie

CHARLOTTESVILLE, March 26.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, March 26.
Herman Schaefcr, peace be to his
memory, has the facility of taking
both the sweet and bitter pills with
a grin. A member of the Nationals
met the comedian in Milwaukee a
short time after Griff had asked for
waivers on the stalwart clown, and
Dutch was bemoaning the fact that
Griff had jerked the American
League from under his feet.
"He sure slammed that old iron
gate in my face" said Herman.
Which is certainly an apt express
sion, and applicable to more than
one industry besides baseball. The
allies and the Teutons are busy en-
deavoring to slam the old iron gate
in each others countenanccs. Peary
slammed the old metal gate in Doc
Cooks surprised expression. The
Republicans will try to slam the old
iron gate on the Democrats in 1916.
The epigram could be used in a
million ways, but is peculiarly
apropos in describing the poor bat
tered recruit. He tolls along for
weeks and weeks at the training
camps, and just when he sees the
promised big league land within
easy hopping distance, the regular
comes to life and slams the iron gate
in his perspiration bedewed features.
"He slammed the old iron gate in
my face"
