Gucnce TO the Alexandria fans today
who are delighted with the veteran
Washington assistant manager. pitcher.
coach, first base. comedian. and gen.
eral all-around good fellow.
The Cardinals are just as pleased as
though they had won by large score,
for Nick Altrock gave the fans from
Mayor Fisher to the Cardinals bat boy
something that the Washington fans
will have to wait for and that is a look
at the promising recruits gathered in
by Manager Griffith. Besides Altrock
Engcl. Gallia. and Acosta, well-known
to all the fans. there were all the
youngsters being groomed for the team
Seiglie, the Cuban second sacker;
Brown, Lamar. Neff. and Rondcau. de-
lighted with performances and earned
much praise for their work. Altrock
was the whole show, and when the
game was on ice went into the box
waving his associated to the bench and
proceeding with the game alone. Syl-
Nester Brecn, the moving spirit of the
Cardinals, had everything arranged for
tho players and treated the Plcbes

Baseball Tickets Cheap
For Princeton Students

PRINCETON, n. j., March IT,
Parke II. Davis. Princeton's member of
the football rules committee and the
greatest living statistician of college
sports, recently denounced the eNhorbi-
tant cost of sports to the non-partici-
pating undergraduate, and showed that
it would have cost a Princeton student
$3l75 to have bought tickets at the
minimum price for all the athletic
events in Princeton last year.
Baseball season tickets are now 81.
This makes tho average cost of a base
ball game to the undergraduate a little
less than Is cents. The high cost OF
athletics may have been unnecessarily
boosted in the past. but the students
arc thankful for small faYors.

Ainsmtth Is busy concocting an eulogy
to the garter that should place 1t among

about the garter Is that no metal can

The garters strongest claim to fame,
however, is that there is no rubber to

RICHMOND, March 2S.-There is
absolutely no doubt that the exhi-
bition games to be played with Jack
Dunn's expatriated Orioles in Rich
mond will be a tremendous asset to
the team, especially the pitchers.
From present representations, Rich
mond will enjoy remarkably fine
winter this summer, and as the base
ball park is beautifully ventilated,
there isn't chance of, the twirlers
becoming overheated and fusing a
shoelace in pinch.
Many, many a baseball game has
been tossed to the dogs through the
medium of the pitcher becoming
warm and excited with the bases full
and heating the baseball to such a
red-hot pitch that it burned his
digits, forcing him to toss the in
candescent bulb away in self-protec-
ton.
Nothing like that here. however. The
superior methods used in allowing the
air to circulate freely through the
pitchers box keeps the twirers in per.
feet cold storage, and is n much better
service than the water r-cooled system

With the cold air circulating copious
