players. 1t is probable that when the
team gets back to Washington he will
be given a ticket for Chicago, his home.
Just what players Joe Cantillon will
get for his Minneapolis club is prob
lematical. He is looking for a couple OIL
pitchers, and although Clark Grifflth pro
considered likely that Molly Craft. for
one. will go to the Millers. Craft is moth
ing but a youngster, being barely OLD
enough to vote; and, although he had n
good record with the Norfolk club in the
Virginia League last year. winning eight
and losing two games, his only profes-
sional experience has been obtained in
class c base ball, and he is in need OF
more seasoning. He has a good curve
ball. but will have to develop considers bly,
more speed than he now boasts of before
he will be considered major league timber.
ANY attempt to pick the other twirler-
at least two will be dropped-would be
pure guesswork at this time
Joe Leonard was unable to participate in
either game yesterday on account OF his
injured thumb. In the morning prac-
tice Tuesday the thumb of his right hand
was struck by a ball. the first joint be-
ing dislocated. He played center in the
afternoon game and hit ball on the
end of his bat. Due to his insecure grip
on the stick his hands were severely
Jared and the second joint was hurt.
Tuesday night he got but little sleep
because of the throbbing pain in his
thumb and yesterday it was swollen to
nearly twice its normal size. 'Dr. Mike
Martin applied 4 plaster and has the in
jured member well bandages. Leonard
is expected to be able to get in the
games again within three or four days.
Ray Morgan is cavorting about on the
field with several yards of red flannel
wrapped about his abdomen. Although
Morgan reported less overweight than
usual this spring he always has n hard
time reducing, and the flannel treatment
has been resorted TO to hasten the proc
ess. Morgan is the type of athlete who
takes off three or four pounds in 4 day
of strenuous exercise. but gains an equal
amount of weight overnight.

There seemed to be considerable
doubt at the meeting of basket ball
representatives last night as to wheth-
er or not Georgetown would become a
member. OF the dozen or so men pres
ent. several expressed the opinion that
the interests of the Blue and Gray
would be aided by such an organization
and that it could not very well refuse
to join. Others stated that 1t was ques-
tionable for several reasons II the
Hilltoppers would become party to
the organization of a circuit.
1t is to be hoped that Georgetown
will Join the league Such a circuit
will do much to stimulate interest in
much worth to the Blue and Gray as to
any other institution. However,
Georgetown has had for several years
certain differences with Catholic Uni
rersity it has not been able to recon
cile. and they seem to be the main bafk-
line. according to opinion. Georgetown
had no representative at the meeting
last night. but some expression OF SEN
timent in regard to its position should
be forthcoming within few days
College base ball coaches in this sec
tion will welcome the appearance of
good weather The season for one or
two of the schools is due to open with
in a few days and the men at best are
not in very good shape. AS matter of
fact. there are no teams. because the
conditions have been such that it has
been practically impossible to form
them. Only three or four days of prac-
tice have been enjoyed this spring,
whereas in previous years the squads
usually have had two or three weeks of
work at this time.
The Maryland State College has not
been represented by a basket ball team
since 1913. but it has some excellent
material. 1t could put on the floor
right now a team good enough to make
good showing against any of the COL
legiate quints that played here last
winter. provided, of course, it got COM
petent coaching. Fletcher, who played
halfback last fall on the foot ball team,
had the reputation of being one of the
best scholastic players in the New Eng
land states last year. Michael, full
back in foot ball, was guard at West
Virginia Wesleyan. Eppley. the best
high jumper in the college, jumped
center on the all-star cuint at Port
Chester. n. Y. Besides these three,
there are any number of men who have
had considerable experience.

ments for having Corp Dean. Who is
ariihng Clark Griffith's ball players,
accompany the team on its sprinp ex.
hlbitlon trip have been taken by the
washington manager. He had con-
ference with Capt. Gulieliuus V Heidi
yesterday evening and was advised by
that officer to write him a letter form
ally requesting that Corp Dean be
assigned for this duty. Manager Griffith
today said he intended to telegraph to
President Ban Johnson and inquire
what the other teams in the American
League were going to do in regard
to carrying their military Instructors
with them; and if he learns that they
are he will make formal request for
Corp. Deans services as Capt. Heidi
suggested. Capt. Heidi assured the
manager that there was no doubt such
request would be complied with and
that it would mean that the instructor
would remain with the team indefinite
ly. accompanying it on the road as
well as holding daily drills while the
team is playing in Washington.

Dear Doc:
| saw by the Register recently that
Hyde and Harris were going to have
a new front put in. Fred Carlisle and
have been wondering which of you
is going to have it. | am of the opin-
ion that it must be you as Doc Harris,
it seemed to me, would hardly need it.
The last time | saw him his seemed
to be in good repair.
Why don't you take a little time off
and come West for a while yourself?
If you would do that, you wouldn't need
a new front. OF course, you would
have to confine yourself to the scenery
and bull run water now as the state
has gone bone dry. but | don't suppose
that you would mind that.
Times are pretty dull out here at
present, and if they don't improve, |
don't know but what I'll have to pull
stakes and look for greener pastures.
However | can't go any further West
as the U-boats would get me, and SO, if
| do anything, III have TO double back
towards the East.
How is it, can | get 800 per acre for
that best farm in Argo township yet?
| understand that one up there ONE
where sold for 1886 an acre. | won
