Ice Box Baseball Brings
Slump in Hitting Totals
Grfmen Take Sudden Drop With Willow Old Boreas Gets In
His Deadly Work on Lambeth FieId-"Sunny South
Scene Shows Players HuddIed Around Fire.
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, March
25.-That ice box baseball is not
conducive to stellar slugging is
proven by the sudden slump in hit
ting on the part of Manager Grif-
fith's young athletes here. Most Of
the players are so stiff from colds,
aches and pains that their work is
falling off in caliber, particularly at
the bat.
Yesterday the regulars collected
five hits off Virginia's pitchers, CAL
loway and Flanagan. Engel and
Shaw shut them out without hit
Tuesday in seven innings. Further
more, this slump has been coming
stronger every day this week until
the team is almost in midseason
form with the willow.
Moeler, Morgan, Shanks. and Nc
Bride have suffered the most this week.
Their batting averages for the training
season are almost certain TO take a
tumble by the time the team leaves for
Richmond tomorrow afternoon. Moeller
and Morgan started off like regular
sluggers, and were maintaining high
average day after day. But since the
steady cold set in they have fallen by
the waysde.
Lambeth Field is now considered by
the Griffmcn the coolest spot In Nir-
ginit. 1t may be comfortable at head
quarters or even around the postoffice,
but a biting blast will be sweeping
Lambeth Field at the same time. Yes
terdaY the wind was of little account,
but the raw dampness numbed the
players within five minutes after they
reported for work.
Before the game a moving picture
operator got busy and took sunny
South" scene, Morgan. Foster. Acosta,
AltroCk, and Engel huddled around a
fire up against the bank near the
stadium. To put pep in the picture,
Morgan chopped some wood to keep the
fire going. This was a true picture, too.

passenger rates Is to be placed with
the railroad commission. to act after
investigation and upon hearing.
Freight Increase Plea Later.
Later there will probably be a move
to increase freight rates, as 1t Is
claimed that the Iowa rates are too
low as compared with those In other
states and are not remunerative.
In case nothing is done to permit
of increase of rates the next step will
be to appeal to the interstate COM
merce commission to decide whether
or not the Iowa intrastate rates are
lower than they should be as compared
with interstate rates and to order the
removal Of the discrimination. Under
decisions rendered last year it Is as
serted that the interstate commerce
commission is committed to policy
OF raising state rates where they are
found to be so low as to amount 70
discrimination against interstate rates
in the same territory. The interstate
commission will be asked to do this
as to Iowa.
The procedure of having commit
tee of railroad presidents call on the
governor and legislators was Followed

Governor Dunno issued a statement
promising that the people would give
consideration to their plea and decide
The matter on its merits.
