qualified dogs in the Western region.
There doubtless will be a fine
entry from that section, but they will
not have the field to themselves; there
now is a movement In the East to
take a delegation over that can give
any group battle. In addition, the

run this year will be through the

attributes his stamina to the fact
he is tired before he starts"

- Schultz and Luke Sewen yet
N prove attractive enough hunks
Of base ball bait to effect some
trading-if they are to act as lures
again-or whether they again will
wear Washington uniforms next
Spring, there Is considerable doubt
as to their chance of appearing in
the starting lineup Of Clark Grifhth's
1885 Nationals when the American
League campaign opens.
December may seem an early date
for serious thought about a lineup
to take the field in mid-April, but
Bucky Harris is doing no mapping
these days as he and Griff confer
frequently. As ball players, Harris
holds Sewell and Schultz in high
regard, but he is overlooking no pos
sibilities for improvement. And there
are a couple of youngsters in the
Biloxi-bound contingent next year
that Harris is powerfully sweet on.
All Clif Bolton will have to do Is
show on the training scene on time,
display the same improved form he
exhibited during the latter part of
1884, and, to quote Bucky, III catch
him every day"
The task of AL Powell looks to be
. little more difficult. There is not
the difference in batting ability and
youth between Powell and Schultz
that there is between Sewell and Boil
ton. Al promises to be a 800 major
league hitter, and he is fast and can
go get 'em. But so can Schultz do
these things. Nevertheless, Powell
is going to get all the chance in the
world not merely to prove he rates
some kind of a Job, but that he rates
to oust Schultz.
