tended church, and il was planned by
several to take a trip to Monticello, the
old home of Thomas Jefferson. but the
order to practice spilled the beans and
upset all plans.
Figuring that there might possibly be
muskrat in one of the three remaining
traps, Jack Bentley and Horace Milan
morning and were rewarded by catching
the largest one thus far landed.
Busy Week Ahcaed.
The present week promises to be a
lively one for recruits and regulars
alike. Practice games between the
first and second teams will start either
Tuesday or Wednesday, while on
Wednesday and Saturday the Univer-
sity of Virginia will be tackled
Griff, as usual, will divide his pitch
ers so that the second team will draw
the best pitchers, the idea being to
put the first bunch up against first
class twirling.
Nick Altrock will more than likely
play first base for his crowd and both
Sawyer and Parks divide the time at
second. Shanks is to hold down the
hot corner for the second team, with
Schwab at shOrtstop. and the outfield
consisting of Moeller, Jameson and
Horace Milan.
In today's practice Clyde Milan con-
tinued to- sting the ball hard. Rom
deau and Barker also cracked out
some nice ones, while Eddie Foster
showed that he had not forgotten the
art of hitting to right field.
Billy Smith, manager of the Rich
mOnd International League Club, is
expected here tomorrow, ostensibly for
the purpose of getting Griff to part
with some of his superfiuous mate rial.
1t is unlikely that any men will be
sold to Richmond at present, for the
reason that Minneapolis has first
claim on any of the players Griff de-
cides he cannot use, then Smith can
cut in II there is anybody left he
wants.
According to Griff there will be no
cut in the squad at present, for the
reason that he has not had a chance to
get any sort of a line on the ability
of the various youngsters.

Afternoon Session Held by rffs CoIts-P|an Boosters Da
Charlottesville Camp Chatter
by THE HERALD MAN,

Charlottesville, Va, March a.
Henri Rondeau and Ed. Charity are
as fussy as a couple of old maids over
the tea cups, when 1t comes to the
subject of bats.
Rondeau carried down here with
him bat made of Cuban wood which
he used in Minneapolis last season
and which brought him good luck.
Rondy would not part with this stick
for love or money, and not only re-
fuses to let any of the youngsters
use it but doesn't use it himself for
fear he will break IL before the sea-
son opens
Charity is in the same boat, but
more careless, for he allowed one of
the recruits to swing his pet bat in
practice Saturday morning with the
now an order has been placed for
three more sticks exactly like the
busted model.
GriT likes to have his players get
fussy and crab over bats. for it shows
that their hearts are in their work.
In discussing bats Griff said: THE
Pittsburgh club in 1908 won the cham
pionship with one bat, a stick owned
by Bobby Byrne and made of Cuban
wood. Everybody on the team with
the exception of Manager Fred Clark
used this one bat, according to the
Old Fox.
Little Schwab, the Cincinnati semi
pro. is a stocky built chap and stands
up nicely to the plate. Schwab played
with crack a jack amateur club on
the sandlots of Cincinnati last summer
and made a big reputation for himself.
Nick Altrock. who pilots the desti-
MES of the second squad down in
SLEEPY Hollow" takes his turn in the
box with the other pitchers, He also
takes a turn at bat.
Nick's sprained back and touch of
tonsilitis did not keep him bed-ridden
very long, for he was right on the
job from the start just as soon as
.Griff turned the kids over to him.
Humphreys. the little southpaw. came
to the Nationals from the Minneapolis
club Of the American Association, being
drafted bv that team last fall from the
Virginia League.
Humphreys is no spring chicken, for he
was with the Columbus club of the Ameri-
can Association two years ago, and has
been pitching ball for five or six years.
Although small OF stature. Humphreys
appears to possess plenty of stun. and is
I 4
Ryan. who have watched him work for a
week or more. Incidentally Humphreys.
who is a Ieft-hander. declares he is not
a nut" a familiar term applied TO most
portsiders.
Speaking of sOuthpaws. John Henry and
Howard Shanks. who were with tho all
star American League combination last
| fall on that memorable transforming
| 4, H.
brand Of pitching uncorked by Harry
Harper. also with the stars.
Harper ought to be the best left,
handler in the world this season." said
Shanks, and I'd like to bet that he wins
lot of ball games for us. Harry will
too. If he takes care of himself and sticks
| to business
Sam Cuttings, the Washington boy
trying out with the pitchers, is going tc
make a big Lacquer just as sure as shoot
Ing" declares Nick Altrock, who adds
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1916-03-13

THAT boy has something. He's as loose
as ashes, and the ball is over the plate
and on top of you before you realize 1t.
Cuttings reminds one of Booth Hopper,
with the, Griffmen last year, in action,
and has the physical requirements neces-
sary for the makeup of major Lacquer.
Little Parks, the youngster from At
lanta, has made a good impression dur
ing the two days he has been out. Parks
Is left-hand hitter, but a right-hand
thrower. He stands up, to the plate in a
determined manner and gets down to
first base with plenty of speed.
1t has later developed that the rea-
son why the firm of Shaw, Milan and
Bentley, trappers, disbanded SO sud
denly was because some miscreant
visited the haunts of the muskrat and
tlght at this stage Of the year, the
boys refused to dig again for the price
OF new set of traps.
Horace and "Zeb" Milan, together
with Tod" Sloan, who claim Linden,
rem, as their home, haven't opened
up as yet with any of those wonderful
tales of hunting and fishing recounted
In previous years by Zeb Milan, but
before long somebody will get them
into an argument and then watch for
the fur to fly.
Bert Gallia, who lives near the
Mexican border line in Texas, an
nounces that he is ready to help the
Texas Rangers capture Villa any time
Grin says the word
According TO Gallia. who knows con-
ditions down in that section Of the
country. Mr.. Villas fate is sealed, for
the soldiers and Rangers have been
itching for months to get a crack at
the 'greasers"
Eddie Foster looks mighty good this
spring and it would not be at all sur
prisinG If the little infielder had a
banner year. Foster is hitting the
ball like fiend and never reported be-
fore in such fine physical trim
George Mcbride is the Same old re-
liable shortstop. He pegs 'em over
to first just as easily as II the season
was drawing to a close instead OF
opening up.
Carl Sawyer. the funny man on the
coaching lines. hasn't had much of an
opportunity to pull off his fancy
stunts as yet. but will be heard from
later on. Sawyer looks to be a little
thin, but says he is down to his nor
NAL playing weight.
Next week the Nationals will start
playing two games Il day between the
first and second teams. also exhibition
contests against the University of Vir-
ginia on Wednesday and Saturday,

By WILLIAM PEET.

Charlottesville, Va, March I'm
stead of the Sabbath being a day of
rest for the Nationals. Manager Grif-
fifth decided after dinner to take ad-
vantage of the exceptionally warm
weather and ordered all hands to the
University Field. where the best work
out yet was held.
Charlottesville weather is so uncer-
tain that the Old Fox proposes to
make hay while the sun shines and
there was not a single protest reg
istered on the part of the players
themselves, if anything the boys were
only too glad to obey orders.
Jim Shaw, Joe Boehling and the
other regular pitchers worked on the
mound against the first string bat
tiers while down in SLEEPY Hollow"
Nick AltroCk had his youngsters going
through their PAGES.
Following the long batting practice,
about one hour of fielding for both
squads was INDUCED in and when the
time came for the boys to quit, every
body was perspiring freely, including
Ray Morgan, 'whO claims to have
dropped of nearly half a pound OF
superfuous flesh.
Purchase New Suits.
Manager Charley King of the wash
ington branch of A. G. Spalding Co.,
came down today for the purpose of
measuring the players for uniforms.
With the exception of Harry Harper
who says he has outgrown his last
years uniform, the measurements of
the veterans were not taken. since 1915
figures will serve perfectly well.
There will be little change in the new
toggery. The road uniforms this season
will be the same as last year with the
exception of the stockings and caps.
Navy blue will be the color. and there
will be no variation. The mackinaws of
last year are to be used again, as they
are all in good condition.
\ small blue Nv" will be woven on
the white caps, while white wv" of the
Eame style and size will be woven on
the road caps.
It is expected that when the Griffmen
arrive home on March Is the new uni
forms will be ready for them.
No fault can possibly be found with
the present fine weather the players have
encountered here, and If it only continues
Manager Griffith declares his team will
be in just as good shape, If not better,
than the National League aggregations
which will invade Washington next
month for the usual exhibition games.
No Sore Arms.
It is a remarkable thing, but not a
single pitcher is complaining of a sore
arm, prOba oily because Trainer Martin
has been working them carefully and re-
fuSinE to let one of them cut loose.
GTif's present intentions are to bring
the pitchers into form slowly. He will
not permit any curves or spitballs until
probably the last week the players are
in charlottesville then he will start driv-
ing them a little.
Most Of the players this morning at
