BY J. ED GRILLO.

Eddie Ainsmith will not accompany the
second squad to Charlottesville tomor
row morning. In fact, he may not go to
the training camp at all. Though his name
has been included in the list of players
to leave for the training camp tOmor-
row. it is not Manager Grifiih's inten-
ton to take Ainsmith at this time.
The catcher is under treatment. for
badly inflamed left eye. and it is not
thought good policy to stop treatment at
this time, when the trouble apparently
is yielding to the oculist and there is
a good chance of the ailment being
cured.
Eddie Foster has gone to Fredricks-
burg, Va. the home of his wife, and he
will go direct to the training camp from
there and will not be a member of the
squad which is to go there in the morn
ing.

afternoon. But Mike Martin decided
that his men were not yet ready to

Shermans Deserve Credit.

The achievement of the Shermans in
taking three games from the Royals is
as meritorious as it was unexpected.
If there was any bowler in the District
who thought the Royals would drop
three straight in a match they really
wanted to win he kept his opinion to
himself for fear Of ridicule. The Sher-
mans deserve all the credit that can
be given them for their brilliant ef-
forts.
