He set himself in line for this
potential honor by engineering the
coup which has already weaned
eighteen of the city's top-flight

OF course, the players in CUES

that little bit necessary to make
them jump over the fence to

shrewd Mr.. Gray.

better than an assorted lot Of local

inner urge of a stellar performer

Revival Of club tennis at Edge
moor means that WaShingtonianS

To Enlarge Layout
Gray and his conferees plan to
enlarge the tennis layout at the
club with an additional seven
courts of Quick-drying compost
ton.
Just as soon as they are estab-
lished they will bid for the Dis
trict of Columbia tournament and
invite several of the First Ten"
players to participate.
incidentally, there is also a pos
sibility that one or two grass
courts may be installed.
Gray is hopeful of attracting all
promising young players to the
club, feeling that in that way he
will serve his purpose properly.
Already the club has been
sounded out by Tilden Tour
agent for exhibition matches
there. And it is an ideal site for
public exhibitions matches, being
only a short distance from the
heavily-populated Northwest Sec
ton.

BY FRANK BUCK" C'NEILL
ROME, Ca, April 3.-One Of
these days, a long time from now,
the greybeards are going to
gather around the stove in the
long winter evenings and talk
about great pitchers. They are
going to talk about Christy
Mathewson and big Ed Walsh; of
Walter johnson and the others,
and no doubt the palm will be
awarded to one of these stalwarts.
That is, unless one of the grey.
BEES happened to have been
South with the Washington Griffs
in 1886.
In that event an imprisoned
appeal will be made on behalf Of
Louis Norman NewSom, whom you
know as Buck. For be it said
that none of the Stalwarts Of the
older, and so-called Drawer days,
ever turned in anything to sur
pass the pitching deeds Of breezy
Buck on this trip.
It is known to one and all in
baseball that Newsom has a rub
Der arm. He rounds into condi.
ton faster than the average
player, and holds the edge of his
form faster. But mighty few ever
expected Newsom or anyone else
to pitch as he has pitched on this
trip.
He stands with John K. Buddy"
Lewis to challenge the rights of
Joe Di Maggie, of the Yankees, to
honors among the sensations Of
the training trip of 1886. If he
can carry his stuff through the
season he may win those Is games,
for right now he is showing as
much pitching ability as any man
who ever stepped on the rubber.
Yields But One Run
Newsom has pitched II innings
in his last three times on the
mound. He worked against the
Montreal Royals, the st. Louis
Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds.
He has not allowed a run and has
parcelled out II hits. Now add
to this three sCoreless innings
against the Tigers in which he
allowed two scratch hits, you have
a fair idea of just what this big
husky has accomplished down here.
He has allowed just one run all
spring, pitching % innings.
Newsom was at his best in blank
ing the Reds yesterday. He was
terrific in the third inning when
he retired two hitters on a foul
and an easy fly. respectively, with
the bases loaded. Then he struck
out Myers with a curve that just
about exploded as it snapped down
into Bottoms glove.
There's no doubt that Newsom

Senators this year. 1t would
not surprise me if the predic-
ton he made about winning rs
games will come true.
"Linke is a great favorite with
me. / like his actions in the
box, as he looks like the ninth
player on the ball club, because
he not only looks like q great
pitcher, but is a good ball player
with it and hits very well for q
pitcher.
"Whitehill is rounding in good
shape, tells me his arm is much
better than last year and that
he intended winning more
games than he did in 1885.
"BOkina has a world of speed
and a good curve ball. He
showed me something recently
that made him look good to me,
because in a pinch with men on
bases he diShed up a slow ball
and pulled himself out of a bad
inning.
WEAVER WORKS HARD
weaver is working hard and
has a good chance of coming
back as a winning pitcher. An.
other pitcher, DeShOng, looks
good tn me. He has speed and
control.
"Lanahan has plenty Of speed
and a fine curved ball, but has
been very wild and i am afraid
he will need another year in
Glass IA.
pete Appleton will surely win
some games. He has good
speed, fine control, q very good
curved ball, knows how to pitch
and can field his position.
'It is safe to say that the
Washington fans will see some
improved pitching this season.
Bolton is a much better
catcher than 1 expected to see.
He is hitting a ball hard and
looks like he is in great cOndi-
ton.
"HolbrOOk has q good chance
to hold up his end when he is
called upon. And the new Wash
ingtOn catcher, Walter Miles,
will stabilize the Griff catching
considerably.
GREAT YOUNG BALL CLUB
Looking at the club from
every angle / would say Wash
ingtOn has a great young ball
club.
In all my life 1 have never
seen a finer spirit on a ball
club and every man is working
hard and will hustle for old
Fox Clark Griffith and their
likable manager, Bucky Harris,
and, by the way, Bucky Harris
deserves a lot of credit for the
remarkable condition of the ball
players. He has worked them
very carefully and hard enough
so that the club is in wonderful
shape for this time of the year,
and with the many games that
they have yet to play before the
opening game he should have
his club in perfect shape when
the season opens"
