be realized that it is not going to be
an easy matter to make the patrons OF
the game here swallow Morgan again
though he may deserve a trial.
Sometimes a combination of young

the Grffmen of 1916. Some of the
members of Grihith's team have been
here too long. Fans like to see new
hands given trial, and Griffith is
working along those lines. How well
he will succeed remains to be seen
There is hone that some of the young
sters will make good. The more the
better.
Griffith figures on giving his pitchers
i've weeks of training. Twirlers need
that amount of work when not pushed
to be on edge by the time the season
opens. The squad from which he eX-
poets to choose his team will not need
more than three weeks of strenuous
training to be on edge for the begin

they have been heretofore. If the

johnson, Gallia and Ayers are pitch

will be few teams as well fortified in
this respect as the Nationals.
while there is no certainty that
Griffith will be able to make any sort
of a deal during the meeting of the
two major leagues in New York next
week, he is going there determined-to
make one more strenuous effort to get
player or two needed to plug up
holes in his lineup.
Griffith has some material that would
be of value to several clubs which he
can afford to dispose of. and there may
be a chance for him to get a man or
two who would fill out his team to
perfection.
But it is no easy matter to make
trades and deals these days, for ball

Boston should repeat, though the fact
that some of the salaries of the cham
pions have been cut may have dis
couraging effect on the teams general
playing. 1t frequently happens that
changed conditions play havoc with a
winning aggregation, but II the Car
rigan forces attend to their business as
they did in the last campaign they
ought to bring home the bacon once
more. t-f
The Detroit Tigers are sure to be
contenders, because the team has a
world of batting strength, and il Jen-
nings has luck enough to have his
pitchers going good he is certain to be
right close to the top all the way.
That Chicago team also must be reck-
oned with. especially il Rowland
should be fortunate enough to plug
up the holes at first and third. With
those positions in competent hands. the
White Sox, with their wonderful bat
ting strength, might upset calculations
and finish on top.
but there are two other teams that
the Nationals will haye to consider.
Both the Yankees and Browns finish
ed behind Griffith last season, but both
of them are vastly improved -IoE lHe
next race. This is particularly true OF
the Yankees. The acquisition of Lee
Nagee, by many believed to be the
best player in the ranks Of the Fed
erals, and with still a chance of Frank
Baker being added, not to speak OF the
many other players who have been OBJ
tanned is pretty sure to give Donovan
a decidedly stronger ball team than
he had last season.
So far as the Browns are concerned,
that team is sure to be well managed,
for it will be in charge OF Fielder
Jones, a capable manager. who by the
merging of the two teams. Browns and
Sloufeds, undoubtedly. will build up a
strong combination. 81
Griffith will have strong pitching

powerful, but it remains to be seen
IL he will have the offensive strength

L0UDEN TO HELP INFIELD

CINCINNATI, January % Garry
Hermann and Buck Herzog are going
to spring a surprise at the schedule
to tell the other National League mag
mates and the base ball world at large
the name of a sensational outfielder
that they have obtained for the Gin
cinnati Reds. Garry Hermann made
an announcement to that effect today.
Garry said the Reds have practically
secured the new outfeider, who is
noted for his speed on the bases; he
has stolen an ocean OF cushions in the
Cobb or Benny Kauff, oh, No, with a
capital n. for they don't get the good
ones on the local club; they only de-
velop them.
Incidentally. the acquisition by the
| Reds of Billy Louden. the former
Buffalo Federal infielder. has strength

ably. Louden undoubtedly will try for
the second base position. which Bill
Rodgers essayed to hold down the
greater part of last season. II Rodgers
Is the only other contender for the
keystone. station and Louden turns out
as good as the reports say he is, it
looks as though Rodgers will understudy
to the former Federal star.
With seven or eight outfielders on the
staff, even II no more are taken on,
the utility gardener should not be hard
to select, and the club is, therefore,
fortified where all clubs need it most.
capable substitutes on hand. the Reds
will not be badly handicapped at any
time during the summer.
Wants Extra Gardeners.
1t will depend largely on the num-
Der of pitchers carried whether the
Reds keep one or two utility outfeld-
ers. Buck Herzog would dearly love
to have two extra gardeners, one hit
| ting Tight-handed and the other bat
ting port side. but II the dimit of
! twenty-one is kept this may be diff
cult. There are several combinations
| that are being figured out. If the team
| carries three catchers. seven pitchers,
| the regular seven daily players and
two utility innelders. nineteen men
| would be accounted for. leaving room
| for two extra outfielders. If eight
! pitchers are carried, there would be
room for only one extra garden player
It begins to look as though Ivy

news that Fred Toney. who ranks next
to Alexander in the National League
hall of fame, wants Secretary Ste
phens of the Reds to come down there
and sign him up at 5000 per season
The club has offered him $4,000, an in
crease of 81. 900 over last season, but

The Georgetown University basket
ball team won from the George Wash
ington quint last night in the second
game of the season between the teams
by score of % to 10. George Wash
ington got the first point. goal from
the foul line by Matthews, but after
that Georgetown went ahead and MAIN
tanned big lead all through the game.
The game was rough and was marked
by considerable fouling. There was
blocking and running with the ball con-
tinually, and both sides were kept
shooting at the baskets from the foul
lines all through the contest. Kelley
of Georgetown showed marked SUPERB
ority over Matthews of George Wash
ington in this respect in the first half
Kelley dropped the ball through the
basket nine times in the opening period
after fouls had been called on the
Hatchetite players. while Matthews
made good on only one of even more
chances.
In the second half Powers, new
man in the lineup of the George
Washington team, showed greater abil-
ity to ge 1.-THE ball through the rings

Few Goals From Floor.
There were only five goals from the
floor in the first half. Georgetown got
three. two being made on sensational
shots by OLone and the other being
registered by Curry; George Washing
ton scored twice from the floor. Mat

counter. In the second half the Blue
and Gray gave evidence of greater apti-
tude in floor play, and six goals were
thrown from the floor. Kelley missed
several from the foul line in this
period, however. The Hatchetites were
a little better also. making three goals
from regular play. besides seven from
fouls.
In some respects the game was well
played, while in others it was more or
less of mediocre exhibition. George
Washington's players showed complete
inability at times to grasp possibilities
for plays, but, on the other hand, did
better in its floor work than usual
