Manager Harris said today that
he was generally satisfied with the
work of the team this spring,
though he admits that Doe ProthEO
is not yet down to his best form.
Harris expresses all confidence in
the former Memphis third sacler,
claiming that PrOthHe will eventu-
the hot corner for the team,
he said. IF we get the same kind
Of pitching from the start Of ne
season we, can't help but make a
good start. No club is ever hitting
In April and early May as it will
later, and the same thing goes for
the pitchers. Therefore, with our
pitchers performing at top speed,
we are bound to have an edge over
most batsmen facing us. This
should mean games won. Further
more, a game won in April counts
for more than one won in Septem.

TO choose between Memo LNibOld
and young Carr Smith. The lat
ter was benched in Macon because
he missed signals, but he is q
better batsnan than LeihOM and
may open the season in left field
for the Grifflaen.
George Fisher has about cinehed
his job in right field. This young
man is not a star right now. but
he is easily the hardest hitter on
the ball club He simply slaughters
any low ball and curve balls are
his meat. 1t is possible that op-
posing pitcheds viii find his weak
ness, but thus far he has hit ali

Fisher is not a wonderful fielder,
but as soon as the team reaches the
Griffith stadium he will be given q
course of instruction in playing

Manager Harris says he believes
Fisher will develop into a capable
outfielder the longer he plays and
that he is satisfied now with his
hitting. The youngster is the best
and most accurate throWer among
the outfielders, an asset to any ball
club,
Washington fans turning to the
games tomorrow and Sunday are
assured of one thing, the sight Of

Harris has succeeded i'm having
his athletes put life into their

Clark Griffith showed excellent
judgment in sending his rookie
pitchers to Florida early enough
to have three weeks work before
the regulars arrived. As a result

able to show at his best.

showed equally good Judgment in
going to Hot Springs and work.

ans. They, too, are ready.
The American League campaign
is due to get under way next
Tuesday. It will find the Griff-
men ready for anything and
everything.
Needs More Time.
THROUGH able to hold his own,
Doc Prothro needs a little
more time before showing all
the ability he is said to have. He
is one of the lads who viii work
hard during the mornings the
team is at home.
When he reported last fall from
Memphis, PrOthro had q broken
bone in his foot. When he re-
ported this spring he was sadly
overweight. His foot still bothers
him a trifle. He still carries too
many pounds. But he believes his
foot will become stronger with
exercise and he knows his tummy
viii fade away. Therefore, It is
fair to assume that Prothro will
be in shape in a very few weeks.
If Prothro makes good, the
Griffs will have a strong infield.
The other three are ready.
Prothro, while not fast enough to
worry folks, can take care of
himself. He doesn't get in fast
on slow balls, but he has a fine
throwing arm to make up for that
slowness on the hoof. Manager
Harris intends working him until
he fails absolutely. Also, he
doesn't think that will happen.

Pitchers Look Good.

1T must be admitted that the
pitchers look good, even though
they may lose games now and
then. They have all had plenty
of time to get into condition under
the best Of conditions. They have
been given excellent coaching. If
they have any native ability, it
should come to their assistance
now. The Griffs have suffered
from lack of pitching material for
several years. They have it now.
In the spring the most inn
portant thing to a ball club is
its pitchers. If they can step in
there and deliver, the team al
ways has a fair change to win. If
they fail, the team loses before
it starts.

SANTA CLAUS

Your mammas have told you, | have no doubt
Of what the Christmas is all about;
How once in the sky fiery gem
Was called the Star Of Bethlehem;
And you'll soon be older, to understand
Of the glad new joy in all the land
When the people heard that the Christ was born,
Just the night gave way to morn,
And the wise men bent DER a cot of hay
Where the baby was just like you me
When first opened our eyes to see
And, just like us, found food and rest
AS he nestled close to his mothers breast.
And mamma has told how the baby grew
And how there nothing but what he knew;
And how grave old men, who were wonderous wise,
Found worlds of wisdom in his replies,
And just outside the open door
Of the rude old stable without floor
And never a carpet--so they say
Except the scattered wisps of hay.
The wise men turned, and before their eyes,
And on the top branch, coong low,
dove sitting, white snow
And this the Christ-tree, which shall bear
Gifts to good children everywhere.
Then eager children came running about
To clasp their hands and gladly shout,
For high above them they could
The prettiest gifts on the neW-grOWn tree,
And one wise man, who old and gray,
Whose snowy beard on his bare breast lay,
Reached upward his hand and handed to ALL
The Oldest and Youngest the big and the small,
Some shining token of Gods great love-
While over all cooed the white-winged dove
And that man was Santa Claus, and mamma has told
How old though he was, he never seemed old;
And though he was tall and Wrinked and gray
He never has changed since that first glad day!
And | am Santa Claus, just the same
AS the gray old man. when the Savior came;
And bring the same gladness and mirth and joy
To each little innocent girl and boy
That he brought, that never-forgotten morn
When in the manger the Christ born.
Now the story is ended, and we shall see
What is hanging for you the Christmas tree.

Planting Trees in Fall
Found Most Successful

When moisture conditions are favor
able, fall paintings of fruit trees ami
most varieties of shade and forest
trees generally are successful. More
loss has occurred from fall paintings in
some sections as a result of dry win
ters than from low temperatures. One
advantage of fall planting is that thu
trees make quicker start in the
spring. Another advantage is that the
fall planting can be done more leisure
ly. The spring rush of work on the
farm is avoided.
Trees should not be disturbed until
they shed. the leaves ard go into the
dormant stage. 1t is essential that
they be transplanted to well-prepared
land and the dirt packed firmly
around the roots. The roots should
not be permitted to become dry or to
freeze between the time they are taken
from the nursery and the time of set
ting out. Strawberries, rhubarb and
tender plants OF that nature usually
do best when ser out In early spring.

Manure Brings Returns

or not. eXerts continuous drain upon
the soil which does not even enjoy the
respite which comes to the ordinary
field through rotation system. For
est trees meet such condition more
successfully than do the trees in an
orchard for the reason that rich moids
are formed by the dlsintegration of
leaves and other vegetation from
which the trees gather large amount
Of food through their intricate root
systems.
Professional Orchardists appreciate

The best time to apply manure to

after the crop has been gathered. The
