shaw and Courtney Disappoint.
Harry Courtney and Jim Shaw are
the disappointments of the curving
corps, particularly the latter. Both
seem to lack the proper mental atti-
tude for success In their chosen line
of work. With Courtney this was ex-
emplif1ed by the fact that although he
went to Florida a month before any
of the other pitchers. he did not take
bat in his hand until the advance
guard went into camp at Tampa. Had
he been imbued with proper spirit he
would have spent those four weeks
getting his arm in shape and devoted
the period at training camp to trying
to learn something about the business
of pitching.
AS it is he developed lame shoui-
der at the outset. which he has not
entirely worked out yet. Courtney
has shown considerable improvement
lately. in so far as the freedom Of his
delivery is concerned. and there IS
some hope that he may yet be ready
ten days hence. but the Shaw case
appears to be well nigh hopeless. A
notoriously slow starter. Jim this
year was given the advantage Of a
preliminary course of sprouts at Hot
Springs to get rid of the supe rfuous
weight he picks up SO easily in the on
season and get his salary wing into
condition. But despite the ten days
spent at the watering resort and the
month Of practice since, he is in no
shape to start a ball game with any
prospect OF winning 1t.
1t has been recognised for years
that Shaw is sufficiently endowed with
natural physical attributes to make
him one of the greatest pitchers In
the business. but he never has been
and never will be. Whether he will
be in any sense an asset to the Ma
tionals this year may be seriously
questioned from the present outlook.
Almost all of whatever prowess Shaw
has displayed as a moundsman may
which enabled him to get the ball
over the plate with velocity enough to
literally buzz 1t by the batsman.
To date this spring he has not de-
veloped enough speed to break the
proverbial pane of glass. If the big
fellow is not in condition to pitch by
the time the season opens he may find
the cashier giving him the stony
stare when he steps up to the cage on
pay day. A prod of this kind might
help him il anything can. With Shaw
it is not a case of bad habits late
hours or anything Of that sort. Around
the hotel lobbies he is as full of gin
ger as any of the athletes. but as
soon as he gets into a uniform he
loses all his pen and just goes dead
Jim is suspected of being plain lazy.

Without taking the strength o
hurting staff into consideration
Washington this year has the bes
ball club that ever represented it
including the aggregation of scrappy
and ambitious youngsters who landed
second honors two years in success
sion when Clark Griffith first tool
charge back in 1912. Composed of
happy combination of veterans ano
youngsters, the team offers a strong
defense in the field, a considerably
higher than average degree of speeC
in the aggregate and a punch un-
equaled in the diamond annals Of the
capital.
Well Balanced Team.
Lewis and Milan, while accounted
old as age is figured in base ball
compare very favorably with the
average run of outfelders. Rice
Judge and O'Rourke are right in theil
prime, and Harris Is one of the most
promising juveniles in the game
while the catching staff is as efii-
cient a quartet as can be found In
the circuit With Shanks at third
the Nationals would shape up as
superior back of the box. around the
infield and in the garden to any
bunch of performers who ever have
worn w's on their sleeves. and II
and beats out Ellerbe for the job the
team will be even more formidable
A by no means small factor in its
strength is the wealth of reserve
material with Brewer. Lanotte and
Ellerbe ready for service in the in
ner works, Miller and Goebei for
picket duty and Shanks available to
perform anywhere.
There is no question but that the
fate Of the Nationals will be decided

prospects in this department are not

tions there is no basis for extreme
