much good. He will not need hard
work to get himself ready for the sea-
/ to take off and needs but to strengthen
MS arm. wind and limbs. Milan eN-
i poets to have one of his best years
because he is in good health this
spring, something he lacked when he
started out here last spring.
Charley Jameson has entirely re-
covered from his dislocated collar
bone and will not he hampered in his
playing, he says He mas tried out his
| arm and finds there is nothing wrong
with it.. He will not have TO take off
any weight, because he is down to nIs
| limit right now.
To look a Joe Judge one might be
led to believe that the young man has
| lot Of weight to take off. because his
cheeks seem filled out much more than
| they. were when he reported last fall.
but Judge contends that he is not more
than two pounds overweight, and that
! this surplus is all shown in his face.
u will be ready TO play within week

Judge said. for ] always get in con-

| Henri Rondeau is quite different
looking fellow this spring from what
he was last. He very wisely avoided
doing any training in the gym at his
nome, and as result is not suffering
from stif or sore limbs. Il made the
| mistake of my life last year by put
ting in about a month at indoor work
before reporting to Manager Griffith.
/ isondeau said. The result was that
my legs were all stiffened when ! re-
ported and | could not get out of my
own way. 1t took me a long while to
get into playing condition, and really

walking exercise to keep me going. !

have myself ready by the time the sea

Eddie Foster, like some of the others.
got the impression that reporting time
was not until the 10th of the month,
and he was not here when Griffith ar
rived with the regulars yesterday. He
got in from Fredericksburg this morn
ing, however.
Gittings has made very good i'm
preston here. The older members of
the first squad believe the youngster
has lot Of stuff and may make the
team. They have SO expressed them
selves to Manager Grihlth, and the
youngster is sure to get trial OF
course. the real test will come after the
team gets into shape, and the pitchers
nave some alert batters to pitch to.
George Mcbride is one of the play
ers who alway sare in playing condition.
When he made his appearance at the
depot yesterday he did not look a bit
different than when he left Washington
last fall. McBride's arm never suffers
from the winter lay-off, and he uses it
in the spring as IL it were midseason.
though he never forces it to it's utmost
until there is occasion for him to do SO.
Horace Milan and Turney Barber
both have colds, but they are not Sc
we're, and in day of so they should be
entirely recovered. Both of these
youngsters seem to look more like ball
players this spring than they did last
fall. They are trim in appearance and
look more clean cut. 1t would not be
at all surprising if both of them made
good this spring, in which event Grif-
Ath will be well supplied with outfield-
ars.
Though it will take some warm
weather to give Ray Morgan a chance
to get himself ready for the seasons
start, it is apparent that he already
has made progress in conditioning HIM
self.
