MORAN GIVEN A REST;
FEAR ENTERTAINING
Heavyweight Challenger Held Back
by Trainer Until Saturday-Frank
Is Work Glutton.

New York, March S.-Wilue Lewis,
Frank Moran's trainer, said today that
the challenger would not do any more
work in preparation for his match with
Willard until Saturday.
Lewis felt impelled to restrain Moran
because the challenger had worked too
much.
when I send him out on the road to
do three miles he does seven. He simply
cannot resist the open air" said Lewis.
"In the gym it's the same way He
throws himself heart and soul into his
work, and forgets that his objective is
tho bout with willard on the 25th.
His present condition, due to his stay
at Saratoga, also warrants rest. Frank
Is ready right now physically, and be-
cause Of this we've got to take things
easy. There is SO much at stake that l
want him to be quite right. 1 don't want
him to overtrain. He has always shown
a desire for ovcrwork I've been with
Frank for seven years now, and know
him thoroughly. trained him for his
bout with Jack Johnson in Paris, and 1t
was the same thing then.
Moran today put in his highest day
since the articles for the Willard match
were signed. He was up early, and be-
fore breakfast logged seven miles over
snow-covered grounds. Lewis sent him
out for three.
He made his report to Lewis on MS
return, and the new ruling followed. He
stayed away from the gym, but spent
most of the morning punching the con-
versational bag with visitors, amons
whom were Jack McAuliffe and Billy
Muldoon
On Saturday he will resume his train

Also Increase Lead in The Washington
Herald Duckpin League. Although
Below Usual Form.

The tensions five took a firmer hold
on first place in The Herald Printers'
Duckpin League by taking two games out
of three from the Bewicks yesterday aft
ernoon.
The leaders failed to roll their usual
strong game in the first match, permit
ting the Bewicks to get away with the
game with a twenty-etght-pin margin.
In the second and third games, however,
the tensions came through, although they
were hard pushed in the final game.
Frank Allen. of the Bewicks, had the
high set OF the day, rolling for a total
of sos, while Anderson, of the Jensons,
came second with 2s2 pins to his credit.
The latter also had the high game OF the
three matches, splitting the naples for
119 in the second contest, enabling his
team to romp away with that game.

OFF
FOR THECAMP
Squad Of Regulars, Including
Walter Johnson, Leaves for
Charlottesville TODAY.
GEORGE M'BRIDE ARRIVES
Veteran Shortstop Will Again Captain
the Gnfmen-Names Of the
Players Leaving.
By WILLIAM PEET


When George Mcbride, the Nationals
veteran shortstop reached Washington
yesterday afternoon, the personnel Of the
main squad which leaves the Capital for
the Charlottesville training camp was
complete with the exception Of jamie
son, Judge and Rondeau, all Of whom are
expected on an early train this morn
ing in time TO make connections with
the 10 O'Clock Southern express.
Il am in hopes that we will have a
stretch of warm weather in Camp-in
fact l feel sure that the youngsters have
encountered all the winter We Will get
and 1t has not hurt them a bit" said
Grih last night.
1t goes without saying that George Nc
Bride will again captain the Nationals,
providing the veteran plays shOrtstOp,
and there is every reason 10 believe that
Mac will be on the Job when the sea
son opens.
The fact that Gritf has not made any
plans to groom an UndeTstudy for Nc
Bride makes it plain that the Old Fox
will not figure on a change this sea-
son. II for several years to come.
Mcbride is a Clean-living chap. He never
allows himself TO get out OF condition
and is the brains of the Washington in
field. Although a veteran in point OF
service he is still good for many more
seasons in the big leagues.
Griffith also announced last night that
he had heard from Bert Gallia to the
effect that the Texan had left his homo
Monday night for Charlottesville and II
Is expected that Gallia will be in camp
when the others arrive this afternoon.
Catcher Ainsmith will be left behind
until such time that the specialist who
is treating his eyes, permits him to work.
Just how long the catcher will be in
Washington is not known.
Tho squad leaving Union Station for
camp this morning will comprise the fol-
lowing: Inielders. Mcbride. Judge, Eos
ter and Shanks. Outfielders, Jameson,
Rondeau and Moeller. Catchers. Henry,
Williams. Pitcher johnson and Manager
Griffith.
Those who will go direct from their
homes are: Outhelder, Clyde Milan. In.
felders, Sawyer, Parks. Schwab
1t looks very much as II the Phillies
would win the National League pennant
again. Hughey Fullerton picks them for
second division honors. Gsvvy Crsvath
was right when he said: The best base
ball dope in the world is Fullerton's. Just
read carefully what he says, then take
the opposite view and you win every
time"

Macon, Ca, March s-The first appear
ance OF Frank Baker in practice with
the Yankees relieved Manager Bill Dono-
van and Capt. Huston Of any fear that
their big third baseman had been rem
dered temporarily useless by the accident
to his fingers.
His first workout was q surprise to
them, for he did more than they had ex-
pected from an athlete with two sore
fingers on his right hand. Baker did the
best hitting of the day. Though his fin
gers are sore, there is apparently moth
ing the matter with his batting eye.

FOOTBALL DATES
FOR GALLAUDET
Kendall Greeners Announce a
Schedule Of Eight Gridiron
Contests for Next Fall.
ANGLING WITH G. W. u.
Hatchetites Wanted for Thanksgiving
Day Attracton-Catholic Uni
versity Not on List.

The Thanksgiving date is the only
one left untitled on the Gallaudet Col
lege football team for 1916. Manager
MnInturff is angling with George
Washington for this date. but SO far
has failed to reach an agreement.
II the Thanksgiving game with G.
w. U. falls through, M. A. c. will
be the only college on the list. The
season opens at Kendall Green on Oc-
tober with st. Johns College, of An
napolis. Va, Military Institute will be
played in Lexington on the following
Saturday. and excepting one game that
is pending with Washington College
the team plays away from home until
the game with NJ, A. c. on Novem-
Der "a.
The schedule is less ambitious than
any attempted for several years past,
and should give the Kendall Green
boys a chance to build up a new ma
chine with the raw material on hand
next fall.
The coaching problem is troubling
the football authorities not little.
An effort is being made to bring Fritz
Crafts back again, but Crafts finds 1t
such a length of time and there is
small chance of securing his services.

Owing to Many Ailments
Half the Squad Stuffed Up with Colds-Altrock Laid Low
with Tonslitis Ray Morgan Fast Getting
Into Condition.

The case of tonsilitis which George
Dumont has been nursing since the first
days practice is still bothering him al
though he claims TO be better tonight
With more than half the squad in camp
under treatment Trainer Martin himself
Is tied up with a heavy cold but keeps
going and has instilled plenty of pep"
into the squad.
Only Light Practice.
The boys did but little work today The
morning practice consisted Of a short ses-
sion of limbering up for the pitchers ana
bunting practice, which was finished of
with hiking around the running track.
Jimmy Shaw has been working hard to
get into shape and claims to be in pretty
good condition although he has not lost
any weight since he has been here
Ray Morgan is but five pounds over
his playing weight and is already looking
like the real Morgan. He took the
longest workout he has had to date today
and claims to already feel the benefit OF
the training, which he has been through.
Martin worked Morgan at top speed to-
day.
In the workout this afternoon Trainer
Martin allowed some of the young
pitchers who were taking of weight too
quickly to cut out the limbering up
practice. Dumont, Shaw, Sloan. Giddings
and Bentley, were the only hurlers to
try out their arms, while Ayers
Humphreys, Rice and Dalhen. did not
take any work at pitching. The bunting
practice was pretty long and each OF the
players worked up a pretty good sweat.
The fur company of Bentley, Shaw and
numerous others Is still successful as
two large muskrats were found in the
traps this morning and brought to camp
for skinning. Jack Bentley and Sloan
were forced to skin the rats. as "Hoss"
Milan refused to act In this capacity.
The company is confident that before
leaving camp they will have enough fur
TO fulfill their obligation TO Trainer Mike

Charlottesville, Va, March sit was
back to the tennis courts for the Ma
tionsls' rockies" today, as the heavy
rain which fell last night brought with it
a strong, chilling wind, and prevented
the youngsters from working out in the
stadium. Lambeth Field was soaked
through, so Trainer and Acting Manager
Martin did not care To take any chances
with the young Griffmen by working
them in the cold. chilling breeze sweeping
down off Kearney Mountain.
The high winds and the rain-soaked
field were not the only setbacks, as the
Fraternity House at present appears
more like a young hospital than big
training quarters. Nick Altrock. the vet
eran coach, has been confined to his bed
all day with a wrenched back, also a
slight attack Of tonsilitis has set in
which may keep Nick under the weather
for sometime
That famous Martin smile has almost
left the trainers face, for he realizes
that tomorrow he must show results to
the big boss" who is due here with the
main string of the Nationals.
Mike will be able to show results for
| those who are able to work. but on the
fering from colds and other ailments.
This is no fault of the little safe and
sane "Muldoon' OF the Nationals camp
as rain, snow and sunshine have varied
here to such extremes that nearly every
one with the squad has felt some III
effects.
Harper Tied Up with Cold.
Harry Harper. the Hackensack south
paw, did not take part in either Of the
practices today as he was confined to
his room with a heavy cold. Harper did
not leave his room until the evening meal
but claimed to feel better and hopes Ia
be able to catch up in his work tomor-
row morning.
Turner Barber who has been working
like trojan" to get into shape, braved
the chilly winds this morning but was
compelled to quit the afternoon practice
The big Carolina slugger caught cold two
days ago and has been under treatment
by Martin since Monday. After the
morning practice Martin hustled Barber
to the gym and gave him a good rub.
After putting pastors on Barber, Martin
sent him to his room to rest UP and
expects to break the cold by morning
and have the flyer back in harness
tomorrow.
Other boys were handed out treat
ments by Trainer Martin today. Char
rity, the big catcher, purchased from the
Minneapolis club and little Charlie Hum
phreys are suffering from colds, also
Boehling, Morgan, Milan, Sammy Rice
and Doctor Ayers. Although Rice and
Ayers have been taking things easy
they have contracted heavy colds and
needed the attention OF the trainer to-
day.

An-American tackle last fall, rs a big
