CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, March
24.--Ramiro Sieglie is beginning to
look like big Lacquer. Maybe he
has a chance to stick around the
Griffmen this summer.
The work of the young Cuban in
fielder certainly was of stellar va
riety in yesterdays two contests. He
had twelve fielding chances and ac-
cepted seven. His one error came
when he tried to take a little fly
against the sun. The ball crossed
the orb Of day and he lost the pill.
But that misplay could easily be
pardoned in the light of his wonder
full fielding of ground balls.
Sieglie has the speed Of a deer in go
ing to either side. in or out. after the
ball. In the morning game he went
knocking down Ainsmith's single and
almost stopping II. II anything. this
required superior speed.
Several Of his plays came on slow-hit
balls. some in front of him and one or
two on the side. He demonstrated his
az lity in knitting the runner by a quick
underhand toss, following dcft pick
ups. That he Is not weak in going out

Sieglie looks like a pretty good ball

his pose at the plate. He takes a good
swing at the ball, and refuses to offer

player. As soon as he gets accustomed

having his troubles just now with them.

The Managers Difficulties.
This without n doubt Is what causes
the greatest difficulty in running the
Senate lunchroom with any sort of Sc
curity. one day there Is so much
business going on up In the Senate
chamber that the members can hardly
get away even for few minutes. As
a result the supply OF food on hand is
entirely too large. The next day the
manager may think that the same
state of affairs has lasted over. and
he prepares only for a lean day. And
then, more often than not. business
on the Senate floor is slack and the
hungry hordes descend In body
When they find their food is not az

senators are human, and although
they eat little they want that littls

There is no getting around the fact
that senators are not the easiest peo-

for several reasons, the most obvious
ones being their uncertain hours and
the haste they are usually in to return
