Some one who said she was a house
guest said over the telephone today
that Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt was
as gay as a lark" despite injuries
which confined the Presidents 82-
year-old mother to bed in her home

TRAINING SCHOOL
IN NEED OF BOOKS
Washingtonians Urged to
Add to Meager Collection
at Girls Home.

Will Washington mothers follow
Mrs. Roosevelt's precedent of sending
books to the National Training School
for Girls?
Books, as the old Egyptians put it,
of all descriptions are pressing need
at the training school. DR.. Charles T.
Warner, rector of ST. Adams Church,
who has been addressing the school
two Sunday afternoons monthly for
20 years, emphasizes this need.
Not penny of District funds has
been spent on books In the history of
the school, DR.. Warner says. No funds
ever have been availf BILE for that pur-
pose. Public library discards make
up the slender collection on institu-
ton shelves at the moment, he de-
clared. and although the public libra
ries have sent what they can. the
majority of the volumes are written
for children rather than the ID to
% year olds at the training school,
The list includes many murder mys-
teries, but few educational books or
copies of literary classics designed for
the young.
Since Mrs. Roosevelt has so recently
displayed her sympathy for the girls
confined in the poorly equipped insti-
tuition, DR.. Warner wonders if other
Washington women will not do their
share by sorting their stored or in
frequently used books and sending or
delivering suitable ones to the school.
which is located at $500 Little Falls
road.
Points to Need.
II have always regretted the slender
reading resources offered training
school girls" DR.. Warner said, "and
would join the staff of the school In
being grateful to any one adding to
the practically non-existent library"
In anticipation Of a new stock of
books, contributed by friendly Wash
ingtonians, the school has already
appointed librarian. She Is termed
the "bookworn" of the school and
was engaged yesterday in arranging
cataloguing and lending system that
will be ready when the first book ar
rives
Books on travel biography and his
tory would be particularly acceptable,
DR.. Warner says And ask school au-
thorities please. he requested, If any
one has an encyclopedia not in use
Reference books an dictionaries are
most needed.
Books Suggested.
For those who may have time TO-
day to examine their libraries, the fol-
lowing list Is suggested as a guide to
the type of books most desired:

Now this is something to give

that if Long Island University gets

One of the handicaps under

With interest in the three-cush-

ment at the Royal Academy high,
the visit Of Irwin Rudolph, three
times holder Of the pocket billiards
championship, to washington is
timely. Rudolph has challenged
any local player to meet him in a
1O0-ball exhibition match, which
will be followed by a fancy-Shot dis
play. This match will take place
tonight, starting at 7.30, at the Ar
cadia billiard room, Fourteenth
Street and Park Road Northwest.
The three-cushion competition
at the Royal ended its third week
in a deadlock, with Gene Flynn
and Dave Stratland topping the
field. Neither was defeated. This
tourney will be resumed Monday.

American Association pennant in
Promise Forgotten
When it looked as though
Nick's pitching days were over at
the time of the Hickman incident,
Cantillon told Altrock: I'm keep.
ing you the rest Of your life. You
Won the pennant for us last year."
A month later Cantillon gave
Nick his unconditional release.
Nick caught on with Kansas City
and the first game the Caseys
played with Minneapolis there
after, Nick turned back the Mil
1ers, 2 to I, with a single hit. He
didn't fail to go by the Millers'
dressing room and pay his re-
spectS to Cantillon. The epithets
flew thick and ugly!
A naive ability to always be able
to defeat any club which had ever
sold him, has been Altrock's forte,
and has brought him many a
laugh and no little revenge.
In 1908, when Nick was trying
to make the grade with the Bos-
ton Red Sox, the White Sox got
eight runs off him in the first in
ming. That night, Nick was
traded to those very White Sox
with whom he made his greatest
reputation as a player). Despite

It was q month after Nick

4-run lead in the first inning,
Nick Steadied and defeated the
Bostons, 7 to 4. In total of five

In their own park. The Red Sox

Then came the Minneapolis
Kansas City incident, recited
above. From Kansas City in mid.
season Of 1912 Altrock came with
Washington, where Griff was
having his first year as manager.
Started Comedy
Reporting in Cleveland, Altrock
spent a day or two getting &C,
quainted with the Washington
players. The third day with
Washington, whence he had come
as a coach, Vean Gregg had the
Washington team 2 to 0 in the
seventh. It seemed Washington

base.
Griff. fit to be tied, and needing
someone on whom to wreak his
wrath, finally turned to Altrock
II don't know why / hired
You anyway"
To which Nick replied:
"Get a man on first base,
and I'll show yOu!"
Chick Gandil got a single
in the next inning and Altrock,
coaching at third base, made
so much to do over the
first man to reach first base
that he stopped the show. Um.
pires Westerfelt and Evans were
so amused over Nick's Mysteries
they made no effort to disguise
their own merriment.

players, most especially Vean

Battle Is Due
For Regular
Positions

No team in the major leagues Is
as well set for infielderS as the
Cincinnati Reds, whose roster dis
closes that 10 men are in the battle
for the four positions. This situ-
alton necessarily must mean that
not one of the four posts is settled
and that even the successful regu-
lars Of 1885 will have to battle for
their jobs.
The rise Of promising youngsters
and the purchase of Charley Gel
bert has created the abundance Of
infielders. Frank Mccormick, who
led the Piedmont League in bat
ting last year, has come up to
fight with Les Scarsella for first
base.
Three Look Good
John Outlaw, from Nashville,
Eddie Miller from Toronto, and
Eddie Joost from the Coast Mis-.
sions, have to be considered in the
alignment Of the other posts. They
will battle against Alex KampouriS,
Billy Myers and Lou Riggs, also
against Charley Colbert and
Tommy Thevenow.
Colbert was purchased expressly
for utility service, but he claims
he will dislodge one Of the regu-
lars, probably Lou Riggs, and if
he is as good as many believe
there will be a three-way fight
for the third-base spot between
Riggs, Outlaw and Colbert. Out
law cannot be overlooked. He is
the fastest of the three and q
brilliant prospect.
Crack ShOrtstOp
If Billy Myers has recovered
from the operation that set him
down in July of last year, he will
have less trouble retaining his
spot than any Of the others. Billy
Is a crack shortstop and he hasn't
the competition Of the others.
Scarsella had the best record
in 1885. Ordinarily he wouldn't
face a fight. But it isn't the
usual thing for a club to have q
youngster like Mccormick coming
up, either, so Les must resume
the battle he has waged with
Mccormick for positions since
both started in the Mid Atlantic
League.
