There is reason to believe that the
national pastime will present rather
unfamiliar appearance next summer.
So many schemes are now being pro-
posed for the games establishment on
a war footing that the average fan is
not at all certain that he will know
his old friend baseball when they meet
again next summer.
AS long as it looks SO likely that
big part of the younger unmarried
players will be in the national army
next year there is a grand chance that
some of those who have beer anguish
ing in the boneyard will be back on
the diamond again. Any number of
vets will be in the big league line-ups
next summer If the present dope goes
through. And the fans will no doubt
be happy to see them.
While the magnates and experts are
with the game and endeavor-
ing to put it in shape for real war

be consummated at the meeting Of the

ones Weeghman will endeavor to put

Weeghman has offered $4,000 in

AUGUSTA, Ca. March 5.-John T.
Berry, a husky son of Chicago, is
going to stay in the big league. He
says so himself. That settles that.
John T. Berry, furthermore, is
going to stay with the Washington
club. He says SO himself. But that
hasn't been settled yet-not yet.
John T. Berry has been Judged the

going to stay with the Washington
club.

I'm supposed to be a pitcher" ad-
mits, Berry, "but IL fail to make
good as a pitcher, I'm going to try
my luck in the outheld. 1 know that
Mr.. Griffith wants outhelders who can
hit, and I can hit. Anyway, I think I
can. I'm willing to try.
II am eighteen years old, weigh
about 161 pounds and am strong in
wind and limb. I'm willing to work
as hard as anybody else to make good
and I'm going to be heartbroken II 1

Berry, already dubbed "Dill" Berry
by the other players, is a hustling
lad. He is the first in uniform every
day and the last to quit working.
He apparently plays baseball because
he likes IT, and there is always a
place for such lads in the great ma
tional pastime.
After being declared Chicago's best
amateur, Ban johnson entertained
Berry at the last worlds series, this
being the reward offered to the win
ner of the contest conducted by a Chi
cago newspaper. And Berry never
lets you forget that worlds series.
Berry admits that he knows Jack
Barry and Jake Daubert and those
other worlds series heroes. There's
hope for Berry, If only because he
