Like Mary's Lamb.

In addition to not containing any rub
Der, Walter also admitted that his new
garter contained neither any broken
glass nor wire nails. It's marvellous ef-
ticiency consisted in its ability to adapt
itself to every movement of the wearer.
No matter where the wearer ambles.
over hill and down dale, the docile gar
ter will follow faithfully.
A national advertising campaign has
just been inaugurated by Walters COM
pany. although the sale of the garter
has been going on quietly for several
months. most of the ballplayers in both
leagues being patrons. The inventor OF
the patent garter doesn't state what
procedure he will follow when a fellow
garter-wearing athlete steps to the plate
with the bases crowded with Walter
johnson" garter clad baserunners and
two out.
AS a rival pitcher. he should naturally
strike the opposing player out. but as a
merchant facing one of the customers of
his garter establishment, he would be
impelled by the free masonry influencing 6
the mercantile world. and allow his
totally ruin his baseball business, but
would certainly boom the garter indus
try to the skies.
Guarantees Long Life.
Walter makes no claims for his garter
other than its comfort and wearing
qualities. He doesn't claim that one
application of the garter will Undue the
wearer with Walter johnson pitching
ability, or that two wearings of the ap.
paratus will enable the possessor tc
command a 5000 a year salary.
Modest. as always. the demon twirleI
only claims that his garter Is the finest
on earth. Nay. even more self etfa cling
he doesn't exactly claim this He ad

Meanwhile the begartered public will
withhold judgment on the walter

of the Garter demonstrate the wonder

slugging proclivities of American

LOWE CONFIDENT OF
ARDMORE DECISION
Says His Good Condition at This
Time Will Be Big Help Next
Monday.

although l have not seen this boy
Danny Ferguson in action for more
than a year, I believe that my good
condition at this time is going to. help
me floor him at Ardmore next Mon
day" said Tommy Lowe as he started
his daily routine at Carroll Institute
today.
Lowe has just returned from a tour
of the South. during which he engaged
in three battles, having been victorious
in all of them. He had to keep in the
best of condition for his bouts in the
South. and he comes to Washington
in the pink OF condition. A couple OF
hours daily is expected to keep the
local lad about right to step into the
Ardmore ring next Monday and Fer
guson will have his hands full.
While in the South Lowe got de-
cisions from Al Bell at Charleston.
Terry Nelson at Chattanooga, and
Harry Carter at Jacksonville. These
were ten and tifteen-round affairs. and
Lowe was kept hustling throughout all
three Of them. Those encounters. to-
gether with the constant training he
! availed himself OF. have put the boy
at the weight he desires. and he ex-
poets to have no trouble weighing in
Monday at o'clock at 1873 pounds.
Ferguson is also training persistently.
and he promises the fans as much II
not more action than when he appeared
at Ardmore February 22. Kid Creek
and Buck Taylor are priming them
selves for the semi-windup.

O'RE|LLY DECIDES
ON FIRST LINEUP
Pitching and Catching Stats
Are Strong and Hitters Are
Fast Developing.

After three weeks OF outdoor work
Coach O'Reilly has practically decided
on the men that will make up his first
squad against Mt. st. Joseph's tomor-
row. There has been one great find in
the men that reported, this find being
Berardni, of last years preps. Up to
date he has been practically the hardest
hitting member Of the entire list Of can
dtdates. and his fielding has improved
wonderfully under the guidance of the
coach, and added to this he has probably
the best whip of any of the outfield
candidates. tIis work UP to date has
been a source of great pleasure to those
in charge. and he Is looked at to be the
logical man to fill the gap left open by
the graduation of Jim Fury.
That catching staff probably is one Of
the strongest IN years. with a merry
battle on between IRWIN, Weems, and
Whitaker, with Irwin slightly In the
lead at present owing to his good stick
ing. The pitching staff will be made up
Of Kelly and Hagerty, of last year 8
team. who have improved immensely.
and among, the newcomers are Thomp-
son, a local sand-lotter, who appears to
have all the requisites of a great col
iege pitcher, and Brannan. a former
Boston High School interscholastic
pitcher, who, besides having varied
assortment OF curves, has the GOODNESS
under fire that Is necessary In close
game.
Finnegan. coming from the same prep.
school as Harry Kelly. and with a great
reputation, has been laid up with the
grippe, but has been showing up well
for the last few days. Captain Tormey
will hold down first base. and is clout'
ing the ball In old-time form. Calnan
of football fame, has the lead for sec.
ond tase at present. and has been put.
ting up fine game. Giacomo, a new
conner. is being tried at short, and hat
! come through In great fashion, although
hard pressed by Donovan.
Connolly. at third. has proven the star
OF the infeld. and his hitting has fea,
tured all the workouts. In the outfiel6
! team, are playing with their old tim,
pep. and are fairly safe in their posi-
) tions For the other outfeld berth Ber
ardin Is the logical man owing to hi,
great work up to date, and has a grea
lead on all the other candidates for thii
position. Barron and Joyce, two othe
| outfelders, are working hard for posi-
! tons. but have not the speed and hit
ting ability Of Berardini. 1t Is probabl,
that Barron will be held as a substitute
infielder.
with the Southern trip a matter o
only few days away. all the men ar
working their heads of" to try an,
make the squad that will take the trip
! 1t Is probable that besides Manage
Roe. Graduate Manager Charlie Cox
| and Coach O'Reillv, about sixteen @
eighteen players will make the trip.

"Rppy' Williams Believes All Pitchers Will Roughen Spherod

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, March
19.-If what Rippy Williams, the
Griffmen's big backstop, says be
true, the emery ball will be seen in
major league battles again next sea-
son and 300 hitters will be scarcer
than hens teeth.
"Now that every pitcher knows
what an emery ball is," says Will
liams,. "youll see plenty Of them
during the season to come. How are
they to be stopped? Why, a pitcher
can roughen the side Of ball with
his thumb nail and get the same ef-
feet of rubbing emery paper on it.
The umpires will have hot time on
their hands, too, detecting emery de
liveries and throwing out the balls.
"Furthermore, if this style Of de-
livery is allowed to any extent, it
will mean the end Of the 300 hit
ter. 1t is practically impossible to
hit a ball right when pitched with a
rough side to aid the twirler. The
ball takes all manner of strange
dives and twists that make it ex-
tremely difficult for a batsman to
get hold of it.
