ton of being one of base balls

gering a telegram bearing the
stunning news that David STAN
ley Harris no longer is a big
Lacquer.
Only TO Harris Is this stunning
news, for although the handwriting
was on the wall way back in the
1894 season, Dave never could seri-
ously entertain the idea that any
American League club would permit
him to drift to the minors.
They fooled Davey yesterday, though.
when Clark Griffith. with full consent
of seven other club owners. trans
ferred the piano-legged outfielder to
Albany, thereby completing the deal
which makes the even bigger Freddy
Sington the exclusive property of the
Nationals.
Schultz May Go, Too.
The sheriff is the first of sizable
group of Nationals who probably will
cavort in other garb next season, and
with bow to Harris ability to make
Lefty Gomez and Lefty Grove re-
semble couple of sandlot pitchers,
he probably will be least missed from
a purely base ball standpoint.
When the heat is turned on in the
Hot Stove League this Winter, it may
be difficult for some diamond fans
to remember just when and where
Dave Harris was shipped. His de-
parture will be paled and, forgotten
with announcements of the selling
and trading of other Nationals.
Fred Schultz, for instance. also
may be gone next season. and IL
so, the feet center fielders' de.
parture will be mourned far
more by the fans than Harris.
As ball players there is. little
comparison.
From the players angle, however,
Harris will be missed more than
Schultz, or almost any other member
of the present Griffith roster.

There's guy with more
spirit in his little finger than lot of

but too late to refrain virtually from
asserting Dave was destined for Al
bany.
Cronin never boasted a stauncher
supporter than Dave, the Joe Palooka
of major league base ball, the friend
of every slot-machine owner in eight
American League cities. and the un-

Titanic Tack" Dennis. lso-pound
1ullback, and Co-Capt Rudy Pro-

scintillating trio.
Washington fans well remember
these three from their sterling per.

On that occasion, too. they saw an
other lad. Big Bill Volok. who actually
did win national recognition. being
placed on almost every all-American
squad either on the second team, or
high among the honorable mentions.
Dennis Is Smashing Back.
This season it is said that Berry
and Prochaska are much greater
in effectiveness than last, and
that Dennis rapidly Is catching up
with the other two after an illness
that laid him low before Fall training
began.
Berry excels in open field dashes and
pass receiving Dennis is an outstand-
ing passer, kicker and line-plunger
with extraordinary drive. 1t was Den
mis-. incidentally, who made Tulsa's
plays work so well against @. w. last
year, his hard smashing in the middle
of the line concentrating the Colonial
defense so as to leave openings for
flank movements and aerial thrusts.
Prochaska here last year was hailed
by many as the best pivot man to visit
Washington In long while. The
chief merit of this star lies In his
ability to diagnose opponents plays
and his vicious tackling.
