MEN
WILL NOT
TARRY
Most of Players Soon Will
Be on Way to Their
Homes
BY KIRK MILLER

Washihgton's vanquished base
ball troupe doesn't intend to loiter
around the native heath very long
to hear condoling expressions from
the sympathetic fans. No sooner
will the majority of them have
their world series losers checks in
their wallets than they viii be off
for winter of leisure or toll as
the case may be.
With but very few exceptions,
Washing ton will see little of its
favorite ball players during the
coming months. Joe Judge and
Sam Rice are about the only regu-
lars who will make their homes
here as Bucky Harris expects to
spend even less time around the
Capital than he did during the
off season which started year
ago now. Nick Altrock will win
ter here and devote most Of his
time to literary pursuits and golf.
The rest of the clan viii be scat
tered to. the four winds. Benny
Tate has taken up the agency. for
Mike Martins liniment for the
southern jurisdiction OF Illinois.
Ossie Bluege, who was an &C.
countant and efficiency expert be.
fore he eased into baseball, viii
follow similar pursuits, probably in
some big business house in Chi
cago.
Buddy Myer is going back to
finish his business administration
course at Mississippi Agricultural
and Mechanical College.
Goose GOsIin Is going up TO
hunting fTIterIningled with auto
mobile touring.
Curly Ogden is headed for
Swarthmore, his home town, and
expects to do some studying dur
ing the long winter months.
Tom Zachary, before many hours
have passed, will be down on his
Graham N. c., farm puttering
! around the cows and chickens and
fixing up the fences that the hogs
rubbed down during the summer.
Allen Russell left last, night for
Boston, where he will plunge head
over heels into his drug store bust
ness. He and his partner own a
string of five pharmaceutical en-
poriums which sadly need Russell
around to help keep going. He
asked President Griffith to mail
him his check as soon as it is
| ready.
Alex Ferguson has no immediate
plans, but intimated he could be
found wiling away the time up
around Bloomfield, N. j., where he
gets all his mail.
Big Fred Marberry is headed for
the wilds of Texas to hunt jack
rabbits and antelope, which abound
the plains of the Lone Star State.
Stanley CoveIeslxie will not be
long around Washington, either,
after he has banked the precious
| piece Of paper which will be made
out to his order within q few
hours. SllamOkin, Pa, will see
much of the Silent Pole in the
coming weeks, as he declares the
old home town is good enough for
him.
Walter johnson has hooked up
with a big real estate firm of Day
tona. Fla, and will add to his
present wealth a fabulous weekly
sum for activity with that firm
this winter. He will do a double
act with Joe Engels the latter
operating here in Washington and
herding the buyers down to Walter,
who will be on the booming scene
in Florida.
Al Schcht will do a bit of real
estating himself, having picked out
Miami for the scene of his ban
ditry.
Dutch Ruether plans an automo-
! bile trip to Florida, but has no in
tention of trying to peddle any
scenery by the pint or by the
mound.
