The Washington times., 1915-09-05
ALL YOUNGSTERS WILL GET TRIALS.

Monager Griffith means to put every
rookie reporting into the lineup before
the season closes. There is small chance
that either Judge or Jameson, the
Buffalo stars, will be on hand this sea-
son. but Sawyer. Dumont. and Char
rity are almost certain to report here
before the campaign ends. Charity IL
going to have a trial behind the bat In
the hopes that he will be able to look
good enough 10 allow the Old Fox to
dispose of Eddie Ainsmith, who is in
bad with Washington fans. The Canta-
briSian's mix-up in the car barn IN
Georgetown has soured the rooters on
him. and Manager Griffith will probably
sell or trade him when he finds a cap
able catcher tc replace him. Charity
Is expected to be that catcher.
As soon as the youngsters begin re-
porting Manager Griffith will probably
put Ray Morgan at shortstop. and
Eddie Foster at third. However, X
Morley Jennings Is able to come here
this fall. he will go to short instead
Of Ray Morgan. Jennings has played
great ball for Joe Cantillon's Minne-
apolis club and on his minor league
experience looks good enough for a trial
in fast company.
Sammy Mayer who played in right
field yesterday. will be kept In the line
w until he shows whether or not he
has the. stun for the big show. Yester-
day he looked to have a good arm. but
his hitting was weak, and he had moth
ing to do in the field. Mayer has not
played base ball since last June. and so
he has every excuse in the world. His
record with George Tebeaus Kansas
City club shows that he can hit, and 1t
is this work that makes the Old Fox
keep him in the lineup.
Bert Gallia and Doc Ayers have been
selected as the twirlers for the double
header in Philadelphia tomorrow after
noon. The Young Texan did not work
long enough yesterday to bother him.

The Griffs have more than held their
own this season with the Mackmen.
Yankees and White Sox. while they
have held their own In good style with
the other clubs in the %eague, especially
in this city. Therefore there is little
doubt but that the team will finish in
fourth place. having but week on
the road from now to the end of the
season.
