fourth, Linke developed bit OF his
old trouble, wildness, and passed
the first two batters, but double

he went on to breeze by the next

- some way President Griffith
has failed to explain clearly,
the Albany Club-another Wash

up in the wholesale shunting OF
players to Chattanooga. The Inter
national club controlled by Joe
Cambria, one of Griffith's great
base ball pals. had sought some OF
the pitchers, but Engel while here
protested his outfit should be ia
vored over Albany.
To make Albany feel it has not
been left out in the cold the con-
trolling Washington club has
ordered the transfer by Chatta-
nooga to the Cambria crew Phil
Hensiek, a right-hand hurler, and
Bobby Reeves, the infelder. who

Lanahan Is Elated.

~O LANAHAN and Petticolas the
chance to land Jobs with club
as good as class A is something
of which to be proud. To Diggs the
shift to the minor club is so repug-
nant he threatens to get out OF base
ball. To McColl the loss of the berth
he had yearned for so long is indeed
bitter. To Armbrust it is nothing to
bother about His placement with the
Chattanooga club looks great break
for Lanahan 1t is not often young
ster fresh from the SandlotS gets a
start with a ball club as good as class
A. The Washington lad realizes this
and is tickled at getting the oppor-
tunity to show what he can do in fast
company.
Dick will have to carry along at a
speedy rate with the Lookouts to hold
his job They play pretty good
brand of base ball in the Southern
Association and the left-hander will
find its batters much smarter than
those of the Capitals sandlot circuits.
He showed lot of native ability at
camp here, though. Lanahan has a
sharp curve and recently developed a
fast ball that made him the envy of
many OF the Washington veterans.
Both President Griffith and Manager
Harris are convinced Lanahan more
than will make good. And they have
Joe Engel believing that. too.
Petticolas. of course. is as pleased
with his good fortune as is Lanahan.
This husky Chicago yongster, who has
been in base ball little more than
three seasons, attracted Harris atten-
ton in the early going at camp. His
speed, his strength and his general
pitching action made him look one OF
the best prospects in the lot. He
can't miss coming back to the best
company in not more than two years,
in Harris opinion.
