WASHINGTON TEAM
 |S NOW COMPLETE
Griff's Senators Depend on Pitchers to Stop Other
 Clubs This Year

Clark Griffith's Washington Sena tors are beginning to look q little better az the days roll round, when clubs begin their trip nodthward. Griff has about de- cided upon his regular team, and the Old Fox is banking heavily on Johnson. Harper and Shaw to stop the opposing clubs.
 The batting order of the now regulars is Judge, first base; Foster, third base. Clyde, Milan center field; Rice righr fiedl; shannon, left fiedl; Shanks second base; Davis shortstop; Agnew, catch. One sure thing is that Judge will be the lead-offaman this year. He has all the qualifications, and in the past did hIs best hitting while batting at the top. In the first six games at Augusta he made nine runs, to seven for his nearest oppo- nent, Shanks, always a demon in tho spring, led the batters (omitting pitchers) with 4I4, and tied Milan for base steal ing hopors with three.
 The big circus feat of the encampment was contributed by Walter Johnson. who on the first Monday there poled a home run drive over the center field fence in the morning game, and repeated in the afternoon contest just to show that he can do it when he wants to. Thedistance is 123 yards. John HummeI is the only player who ever performed the feat be- fore, and he did it when at Augusta with the Brooklyn team. some 10 years ago
 Sam Agnew's work behind the bat has been feature Sam has not only come up to expectations, but has exceeded them He has caught for the regulars in every game. 1Picinich helping him in two It is said that Agnew will be paired with John son in this race

Recollections of Beatty

Lieutenant Hunter in the World 5
 Work.
 My most vivid picture of Beatty will be that of the great admiral, quietly playing tennis as his battle fleet was sailing away, reminding one of another historic episode-that pf Drake, insisting upon finishing his game of bowls before going forth to fight the Great Armada.
 Another war is ended. The greatest of all the worlds great wars Ended and won. We look back. now. to those who accomplished it, and love them. They are many whom we know we'll They will not soon be forgotten. But the leaders-the leaders of the forces that won for us-how few of them are really known! And we will 1torget-be- cause we do not know. The great Nell son. faced with the realization of this same impending tragedy. expressed himself by applying some very old lines, which he found had been used at the end of a former war "Our God and sailor we adore In times of danger-not before. The danger past. both are alike re-
 quited:
 God is forgotten, and the sailot
 slighted!'

 The grandstand was packed Auto mol piles lined the inside and outside of the track and hundreds of persons hung ovdr the railing around the circle to Wa oh the darting speed demons con- test.

 It was in the fourth event that Will lard, driving a Monroe Junior crashed into a fence. wrecked his car and was himself injured. This was the sensa- tional feature O. the races.
 The most interesting of the events was the final one for 15 miles. George Hugdahl, Rothie Clein, Texas Clark, Joe C1eary and Duray entered with a flying start Hugdahl led the first mile, yielding his place in the second to Joe Cleary in his Fiat. who held it until the fourteenth lap, when, his clutch burned out.
 Hugdahl ran almost neck and neck with Cleary until the tenth, when he developed trouble and had to stop. This left the lead with Cleary and Clein. Cleary was forced to stop in the four teenth mile on account of his clutch which he said, had burned out, and Clein steered past him an easy winner For 13 miles the race was close and ex- citing.

 The third event was an effort by Clark and Duray to lower the record They ran one at a time, but failed to lower the old mark Clark's time was 56 seconds and Duray's one minute flat. The local record is 53 seconds. The field was dry and heavy. During the last race the dust became so thick that it was almost impossible to see the racers for more than short dis

WRESTLING FANS ID SEE P[EST|NA
 HERE TOMORROW Giant Serbian, Trained by Farmer Burns, Said to Be Most Powerful Man
 on the Mat

Birmingham wrestling fans will
 see for the first time Monday night
 the giant Plestina, who has scared
 Lewis, ZbyszkO and Stecher into
 that condition where they refuse to
 meet him. PIestina will wrestIe
 PfIankon, best two out of three falls,
 to a finish at the Birmingham Ath- Ietic club. That is the only way
 Plestina will grapple and the Jugo- Slav has n clean slate for his last
 three years in the game.
 Trained by Farmer Burns and said to be the greatest of all the present. day wrestlers by Dr. Roller, the Serbian will enter Mondays bout conditioned hardest trainers in the country and keeps himself in condition the year around. Right now he is in the best shape of his life and anxious for the big tournament in New York next month to start.
 Saturday afternoon Plestina took on the local colony of amateurs and showed that he is a man of 1000 holds Plestina can use the toe hold with as much science as the late Gotch. He is well versed in Gotchs methods having been taught the tricks by Farm CT Burns
 Pilakoff, who battles the fierce look ing Plestina, is no weakling himself Before taking up the wrestling game he was doing the strong man stuff by lifting weights. He was schooled by the old Zbyszko. who taught him how to use his brute strength on the mat.
 FINE PRELIMINARY
 Monday nights preliminary between Fred Jones and Mike Forbes promises to be a classic, these two youngsters having been training every day for the past two weeks with their hearts set on winning the match. Forbes will have the edge on Jones in weight but the sandy-haired lad has been at the game longer than the challenger and knows more about the ins and outs of it. Jones has beat all of the local anna teurs for the past two years and Forbes bobs up as the only one who can give him an interesting match Colonel Landgrebe will referee the big match and Homer L. Thomas the battle between the two amateurs The first match will be called at S:3O.
