none too fast for him, a fact that will
be demonstrated before the season is
very old. He is perfectly capable of
holding his own with any other in
dividual who is playing the same posi-
ton in the league, and he will have a
lot on several of them
Turney Barber has all the earmarks
of making an outf1eider who is due to
be famous for hitting. The Tennessee
youngster is a much improved young
man since last fall. He carries himself
entirely different from what he did
then. has filled out and increased his
speed. The beauty about Barbers stick
work is that he is just as likely to hit
to one field as to another. 1t all de-
pends where the ball is pitched as to
where it will land, and this always is
the kind of a batter who breaks up ball
games and drives in a lot of runs
Thehe is not club in this league who
has more promising looking young
outfielder than Barber is sure to prove
himself.
There is little doubt that Ray Morgan
is going to be of help to the Nationals
the coming season. The Baltimore boy
is working hard. and is showing the
sort of interest in his work that will
make it possible for him to display the
proper form.
In practice Morgan is hitting splen-
didly. He is fielding better and cover
ing more ground than he could last
season. even though handicapped by
three heavy WOODEN undershirts and a
rubber jacket. The Grifmen will be
greatly relieved if Morgan attends to
business this summer.

Griffmen Make Creditable

SCORE is NOT DESERVED
Blythe COLLEGE TEAM
One Run Made Because of an
Error on a Throw
to First.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,
March 1.-THE Nationals today
opened the wear with a victory
over their old college rivals, Vir-
,ginia. winning easily enough by
4 to |. Gallia. Harper and Sloan
divided the nine innings between
them and all pitched good ball.
Not run should have been
scored, the one run the collegians
gathered being the result of an
error.
Harper pitched the most eff
fective ball during his allotment
OF three innings. allowing but
one hit, tanning three and walk
ing one. Gallia. too, pitched eff
fectively, as did Sloan, and not
one of them used a curve.
The Griffmen hit safely thir-
teen times, besides a lot of hard
drives which were right at some
of the waiting helders. The game
was we'll played by both teams,
Judge, at first, and Foster, at
third, distinguishing themselves.
Clyde Milan was the batting hero
of the day He hit safely every
time he faced the pitcher, and
every one of his drives was clean
cut. In the first he scored from
first base, after singing, when
Foster hit a slow tap down the
third-base line, which Thurman
threw badly to third to head
Milan off.

McHugh was offended.
"I've always played on the level,

"But Wilkins has never been here,
Quaile said dryly.

He tried to catch her eye. Whether his
failure was due to her purpose or to
chance, he could not tell. Her nod was
general; it might have been intended to
include him.
Miss Hendon went to her Immediately,
discarding her former jealousy, with the
air of one who Graves companionship.

boy and good actor. I've heard the
result of the examination. There's no.
thing queer about Cartons death. AS
sometimes happens, his heart just gave
out. He'd not been well. He wasn't fit
to rehearse, but he had too much spunk:
he would go on"
Quaile, standing near by, heard Dolly
whisper to Miss Hendon:
"That's what they said of Woodford."
"Keepquiet, "McHugh snapped. "NIay-
be you're wondering why Pm saying all
this. I'll tell you. don't need an oculist.

He glared from one to another.

I'll make that auditorium look like the

tellers."
Steps rang with an empty sound beyond
the flats. Mike led policeman on. Nc
Hugh directed the property-man to go
home.
"Don't talk to me now," he said i'm
patiently, in response to the others white
faced reluctance. "Be here in the morning
at ten o'clock"
The policeman expressed brisk unin-
telligence. While the manager told him
how Carlton had fallen, he made out his
report.
Some time later the coroner and Carl
tons doctor, led by Tommy, arrived.
Their proceedings partook of formality
abhorrent to Quaile. After the examina-
tion they nodded at each other
Strange, but a clear case" the coroner
said.
81 wouldn't have suspected it of Carl
ton," the doctor agreed, "but these sud-
den LESSONS are beyond forecast"
"What are you trying to say?" McHugh
demanded.
"His heart simply stopped without any
apparent reason" the physician answered.
al gather it was an emotional part At
the moment he was probably very much
in it, was worked up to high pitch of
excitement"
McHugh's reply was vague; but Quaile
knew it was not the emotional nature of
the part that had placed strain on Carl
ton. He felt something should be said of
that. He waited for MclIugh to speak
of the warnings. He knew how difficult
it was to bring up such matter in the
nff fbacn fia,1 Nd bod
men. He forced himself to do it, however,
when he saw nothing was to be hoped for
from McIIugh. The coroner and the
doctor smiled at each other
Don't fret" the coroner answered.
"rhe usual precautions will satisfy you.
There will be more thorough examina-
ton. If there's anything wrong, we will
find it. I'm afraid, young man. this has
been great deal of shock to you"
Quaile loathed the good-natured pity
in the others voice. He walked out of the
theater.
A NEARLY sleepless night made him
doubt the wisdom of McHugh's OBJ
stinacy. What if something like that
should happen again? His mind turned
from theory to theory, but without
result.
The autopsy, to which his last hope had
chung, verified the coroners superficial ex-
animation. Cartoons heart had stopped
without reason. There was no trace of an
exterior cause.
McHugh told him that when he en-
tered the theater the next day. He was
early. He felt oppressed again by the
musty odor which, in spite of the constant
draught of fresh air. never left the build
ing. He forced himself to take deep
breath. He fanced that he was about
to define the odor, to give it name. But
again he failed.
He found the manager alone, pacing
back and forth with calculate insolence.
After he had spoken to Quaile he stared
moodily for some time at the spot where
Carlton had fallen. Suddenly Quaile saw
temper flash across his face. His mouth
distorted by an ugly sneer, McHugh
swung around, and, stretching his arms
to the shrouded auditorium, raised his
voice in defiance. 1t was as if he believed
there was something there with ears and
