NATIONALS REMAIN IN CAMP
i ONLY FIVE MORE WORK DAYS
Leave for Games In Richmond After That
and Then Come Home to Play Several
Contests With National League Teams

: Most of the players are suffering
more less from colds. and the half
i day off. which yesterdays cold snap
and rain brought about, was pleasing
J to this ailinS element.
| Next week is going to be busy one
for the Nationals. for the chances are

college team nearly every day. Exam
iinations will be over by that time, and

have more time to give to the. game.
! 1t is not unlikely that Walter john
son viii pitch in one of the games
scheduled for today He has not as
yet appeared in game, but Griffith
had slated him for a few innings
work against the Virginia college team
today. and calling off that game may not
interfere with Walter working probably
for the Colts against the Regulars
Manager Griffith continues his daily
confabs with his players behind closed
doors. 1t is understood that an en-
tirely new signal system, more uD-to-
date, Is to be inaugurated this season,
and it viii take some time before the
, players will have been taught all the
angles of the new system. An entirely
new hit-andrun code is to be installed,
IN order to thwart any one on opposing
teams from recognizing them from last
season.
Manager Griffith is confident that his
team will enter the coming race in the
best condition it has ever enjoyed. He
expects the games with the National
LeaguerS to put his men right on edge,
because he looks for these teams. all of
which have trained in the south. to come
to Washington ready to put UP a good
battle. In the meantime, he believes
his own pitchers will be ready, and
that the batters will be in form, by
reason of having faced high-grade
pitching for several weeks.
Il am well satisfied with the progress
we have made while here at Charlottes-
Vile, and from now on we will put on
extra steam and work all the harder"
said Griffith. THE players have reached
that stage where work of any charac-
ter will not hurt them. They have
weather will get them down to their
real playing form.
Nick Altrock. who not only was 4 great
pitcher himself. but who has seen all the
great mound artists of the past two dec
AIDES, believes that Bert Galiia has the
best curve ball he has ever seen This
curve not only breaks wider than the
average, but it has a drop with il which
makes it impossible to hit. 1t is nothing
unusual to see Gallia'S curve apparently
going hip high over the plate and then
drop down so that the catcher virtually
picks it off the ground. 1t does this sud-
denly and there is no way for q batter to
gauge its course
"Now that Gallia has control T .lool,
for him to win a lot of games for us the
coming season.. said Nick THAT curve
ball is the most deceptive thing I have
ever looked at and 1 guess ] have seen all
the great pitchers of the last dozen or
more years.

Hess team after splendidly contested
fight The Hess five took the first
setto by 524 to 512. The Nationals won
the second by a margin Of two pins
the score being 532 to $50. The Ma
tionals also got the margin in the third
and decisive contest. when they
knocked down $50 pins against 544 for
the Hess aggregation.

sponsible for the victory of the Ma

his teammates and led the players of
both clubs rather easily. Boss knocked
down 125 pins in his first contest. got
mark of l34 In his second, and then
finished by obtaining count of 106.

toria, and although no official an
nouncement of the business transacted

feat was the plan to create middle
states section for doubles players. The
new section was to consist of New
York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Della
ware, Maryland and the District of Co
lumbia. and If the plan had gone
resented by two teams in the later
rounds. for the doubles title. AS the

rion.
All of the tournament dates for the
coming season were fixed by the COM
nittee and as there will be no con-
fiicts of Importance, all of the clubs
holding tournaments should find the

Will Not Re Sold

JACKSONVILLE, March eO-Connie
Mack of the Athletics last night dashed
whatever hopes Chicago fans may have
had of seeing Frank Baker in a White
Sox uniform. Mack was told that some
of the reports had him negotiating to
trade or sell the slugger to the White
Sox. This was Comics answer:
Baker told me he had retired Some
say he wants more money and that NAV
be true, but when Baker told me that
he had retired l believed him, and, so
far as ] am concerned, he says he will
play with US or not at all. He will not
be traded for any man in base ball nor
sold for any sum that may be named,
and that is my final statement in the
case of Baker"
