But the future for Evers and

nobody seems to care, as the song

Harry Hooper and Johnny Mostil,
are holdouts. According to players

enough experience to deliver this

Evers expects a whole lot from

DRESIDENT HEYDLER asked

nRESlDENT HEYDLER asked
about the Washington club,
emphasizing Bucky Harris.
"Do you know" he said, "I've
never seen Harris play. Does he
shape up like a leader? You
know, l have soft spot in my
heart for Washington"
We told him of the apnarent
outlook of the Griffmen, adding
some details regarding Harris,
their new manager. He seemed
satisfied.
Yes, ! always follow the Wash

Heydler, though l seldom see

Old Cosey Dolan was playing with
the Denver club, and like myself,
he had outgrown the major leagues.
Well, Jack did nothing else but win
penants for those two clubs in spite
Of the fact that Dolan played on
one of them. So, all in all, look
Tor my old home town club, the
Orlandos, to be in the money this
year, and l don't think the money
will be left around loose under the
old-fashioned style of pillows.
So far as our Washington club is
concerned, it is under new manage
ment. We have q boss named
Harris and he has eight good
looking pitchers.
One Of these pitchers is named
Walter Johnson, and It seems
have met him some place before,
probably in a billiard parlOr.

Hot Springs and catching the in.

too,. on money matters, and If ne

Well, it seems that Jake Daubert,
Of Cincinnati, got sore at this Zamft
and asked him:
I'm going to plaster you. Say
you! Do you know why I'm going
to sock your"
And this fellow Zamft answers:
Sure, know why. Because
you're bigger than / am"
The Cardinals report that they
have thirty-nine players. Well.
they didn't have nine players last
year. They have an outfieIder
named Francis II. Blades. and IL
he is no better than the safety
