year he went to Dubuque, Iowa,

In 1910. after 10 years of success

BY JOHN II. KELLER.

A LTHOUGH they have no game
~ scheduled tomorrow, several
"A things are to be done by the
4 4 Nationals. And principally
among them will be a skull
drill, in which Buddy Myer may be
made to know when to take pop fly
in short left field so Manager Stanley
Harris hopes.
Buddy is quite proficient at going
back for these measly lofts and gener-
ally gets his paws we'll settled under
them, but 1t seems he has been over
ambitious in this respect. 1t may be
that the young Mississippian has been
slightly deafened by fattening incurred
during his stay in Florida, for he does
not seem to hear the signals shouted
by his teammates in games. However,
Boss Bucky hopes to offset this def
cheney in his young shortstop by dtvis-
ing visual signs that will let Myer
know when he is to chase q banjo
thump or leave the catching attempt
to one of his mates.
Buddy is an ambitious boy and is
striving earnestly to make a real short
fielder of himself, but he must be made
TO realize that there are some other
players in the club as it lines up for
action.
Myer. by the way, was dropped a
notch in the batting list yesterday,
not that he Is a weak hitter, but
mainly because Joe Judge, with whom
he exchanged places in the order, has
been banging the ball at a fine rate.
Although Buddy has hit at only 200
pace in the six games so far played
by the Nationals. he is real sticker
and will boost his present average
considerably before long.
Even though severely crippled,
Bucky Harris played creditable game
at second base when he came back
to the game for the first time since
opening day. He made one bobble In
IL chances, which is fine perform
ance for middle-station guardian
who has bum finger on his ungloved
hand and fearfully bruised big toe
on his left foot.
To get into the fray, the Nationals
manager had copper plate placed
over the forward part of his left shoe,
which was cut away just above the
injured toe, and every step he took
was painful to him, yet he managed
to carry on. And his presence in the
lineup certainly seemed to inspire his
charges. incidentally, Harris bobble
cropped up when he had what he con-
sidered his easiest chance Of the fray.
1t was a slow hit grounder by Lamar
that he let go through in the eighth
inning, but he offered no alibi after
the game. There was nothing on that
bali to hurt my finger" he said. 81
simply played it poorly
In Charley Willis, who pitched after
the sixth inning yesterday, the
Athletics showed left handed pitch
er who has been with them for three
years without facing the Nationals
before. The 22-year-old chap, who
was found by Connie Mack in Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, has been mainly a
batting practice hurler since joining
the Philadelphia club, but has been
employed at times as a relief hurler.
Willis, by the way. has an odd de-
livery. Although he does not turn his
back upon the batter altogether be-

the II. H., l. & e. valuation of
the road was $4,407,9S4. Tax Board

that, since this was but $500 for

Pratt st. Improvement Will

With the advertising Of bids today
for improvement of Pratt st. from
Healing Ave. to Sherman Dr., some
relief from the East Tenth St.
blockade at the Belt Railroad ap-
peared likely soon.
The improvement resolution was
adopted by the old board of works
and advertising omitted through N
error. City Engineer Frank c. Lin
genfelter called the new boards at
tention to the omission and adver-
Using was ordered.
Pratt and Tenth are both blocked
at the elevation, making it neces-
sary for east side citizens to drive
blocks to Sixteenth or Michigan SITS.
The assessment roll for z. Tenth
st. is expected to be ready Wednes-
day, enabling the board to purchase
adjoining land and improve the road
way beneath the elevation. Virgil
Vandagrifft, board president, ordered
the project rushed.
Lingenfelter said it is possible that
the Pratt st. project will be finished
before the Tenth St. elevation is
opened. Bids also have been adver-
tised for improveme 1T of Healing
Ave. from Tenth to Pratt SITS.
