in 1886.
Travis is one Of my out
fielderS for 1886" Harris said.
"He showed me in practice
that he can go and get fly
balls. He might have trouble
for a while going back on a
ball, but he will learn that. He
did it in practice. He goes to
right or left with equal ease
and gets the ball away quickly
after catch.
Travis is tickIed to death
with playing the Outfield," Har-
ris said with a laugh. "He
asked me this morning If he
now had to pay his way into
the grounds. That's how soft
he thinks it is. He made one
catch looking into the sun,
and made it with ease. He
came in fast and looked good.
I'm convinced that he is a

MILES NOT A CERTAINTY
Would Miles be the third Wash.
ington outfielder in SO?
81 don't know" Harris said.
"If I can improve on Miles de-
fensively and get hitting
strength, will not make any
move. Besides, Miles has no
mortgage on that outfield job.
We have a couple of boys who
are not through with the game
yet.
"But Travis is just the boy
for an Outfielder," Harris said
emphaticalIy. "HiS batting is
indispensable to the team, and
he has a fine arm. His work
on third base hasn't set his
arm to the infield throw the
way it does with veteran in.
fielders. He can get the ball in
with a fine hop. He knows
where to throw the ball, and his
infield experience has given
him fine Judgment of pace.
left field in Washington is
the toughest there is. If he can
make the grade here he will
make it anywhere"
There isn't a question of doubt
that Travis will become an out
standing outfielder. AS a matter
of fact. it is rather remarkable
that his talent for the job was
not discovered until this time.
His stride is the long, tirelesS
stride of a man who is built to
cover ground out on the low
horizons of the field. His throw
is the low, strong throw of man
whose arm is geared for the work.
Fans Rejoice
Washington fans rejoice in the
transfer of Travis to the outfield
as a move to strengthen the team
for 1886. It is true that Travis
is a pretty good third baseman'
But he is a potentially great
outfielder. And he aspires to
greatness rather than a career
that just escapes mediocrity.
This baseball business is strange
and puzzling indeed. Here the
Griffs are going nowhere in par
ticular, while the Tigers are
headed directly for the world
series. But in the last series in
Detroit the Griffs broke even
with the champions, and the
worst they can get this afternoon
is an even break, with a chance
of winning the game.

More couples applied for
licenses last August than in any

The total was SO.
