COACH VISITS

Bill Reinhart, new basketball
coach at George Washington
University, was in town today
and was visiting newspaper sports
offices in company with Jim
Pixlee, G.. w. athletic chieftain,
and Jack Espey, who taps the
publicity drums for the CoIonials.
Reinhart, born in Cameron,
Mo-, has been coaching the Uni
versity Of Oregon basketers and
baseballers for the past several
years. Reinhart also was an ath'
letic star in his undergraduate
days at oregon. At G.. W., he

Russell, Stewart and Thomas
are grouped in the relief squad in
preliminary reckonings. Russell
and Stewart may break out.
Thomas, always a good spring
pitcher may improve upon his
performances Of the last several
years. In the event that he does
improve, there will be loud cheers.
One of the disturbing facts
connected with the Washington
staff is that out of the ten
pitchers mentioned, figures are
available on seven, and we find
just 81 complete games turned in
last year. Making all the allow
ances possible for balls going
through for hits that should have
been caught and men thrown out,
81 complete games are not enough.
Whitehill and Weaver were the
only two to get into the double
column figures. The former has

Must Have Something
Then came string Of dis
reputable sevens and less. 1t does
not follow that a pitcher will win
his complete games. But it does
follow that pitcher to be around

thing on the ball. At least. he
has enough to give himself a
chance to win.

Burke attributes this to the
fact that during the winter he
had his tonsils removed and a
couple of teeth extracted. Rally
ing from the operations he has
put on a little weight, but he
feels far stronger now than he
ever did at any previous time in
his athletic career.
Harris counts upon Bob to win
IS games this year and feels that
this is conservative, well within
the capabilities of the pitcher.
Burke led the Washington
pitchers last year on an earned
run basis, limiting the opposi-
ton to 3.21 tallies per game. He
pitched only seven complete
games and broke into the select
list of low-hit hurlers just once,
pitching a three-hit game. He
pitched one shutout.
Not Same Burke
But the Burke who struggled
so pluckily against illness and
lack Of physique was not the
same Burke who hopes to NOV
them down this year.
"I'm ready this year." Burke
told the writer this morning as
we motOFed to the practice
field. ''My arm Is as loose as
a whip and I feel that I really
get something on the ball.
Never q trace of soreness this
spring, and what a relief that
has been. / expect to win
more than Is games this year.
/ hope / do, anyway"
Burke, Thomas and Hadley
are grouped in the records as
having pitched seven complete
games in 1885.
Hadley, like Burke, expects to
knock off at least Is victories.
He figures the Griffs a far
stronger team than the st. Louis
Browns were, and expects to add
considerably to his "a record Of
10 ball games.
Taking the 10 pitchers already
named above-Burke, Whitehill,
Hadley, Weaver, Linke, Russell,
Stewart, Thomas, Petit and
Cohen-we can account for 65
victories in 1885. OF course, these
are not nearly enough to keep
the team in the first division, let
alone in the pennant fight. But
we must always bear in mind
that the club last year was so
crippled that form must be tossed
away, and when necessary, stand
ards arbitrarily set.
Whitehill To Win 20
Whitehill, in 1889, won %
games, and this is not over his
head. Set him at 20 games and
you won't be far wrong If the
team performs. Hadley should
do better than his lifetime aver
age and win IA games. Burke
should win Is. Weaver's average
Is II games a season. His tenn
perament will count heavily in
his season of 1885. He should do
better, his health seems to have
improved. Linke may or may not
be a good pitcher this year. The
strain of a season on his arm
