Nor Taft Wright either. I'm go
ing to take good looks at all
three Of them, but, offhand, I'd
say that Sington ought to receive

three of them, but, offhand, I'd
say that Sington ought to receive
first consideration.
"He isn't fast, know, and he's not
. great fielder and thrower. But boy,
he's got power, and that's what this
club needs, especially from the right
side Of the plate.
"Hill Is a better fielder, but I doubt
II Jesse's arm is even as good as Sing
tons and certainly he hasn't Freds
power. Wright, they say, is good
looking prospect, but haven't seen
enough of him to venture much of an
opinion. I'd say, without fear of wind
ing up too far wrong. that Wright will
be carried as a pinch-hitter, and that
he'll do pretty good job
Travis as No. 6.
HOW about the No. hitter?
Stone, I should say" continued
Stanley Raymond. And incidentally
this is one year that Johnny is going
to stay In the lineup from beginning
to end, regardless Of whether a right
handler or left-hander Is pitching.
Travis, then, would be No. 6, and
I think I'll move Buddy Lewis down
to the seventh hole. Buddy did a
great job as the second-place hitter
last season. but when club has
fellow like Myers around the manager
has little alternative but to use him
ia that place"
Not until Skipper Harris
reached this stage did he begin
to hedge. On April 19. at Grit
fifth Stadium, there will be
contest between the Washing
tons and the Philadelphias and
you hoped to be able to quote,
at least tentatively, the opening
game lineup.
This, however, was not to be. Harris
drew the line on naming his choice
for the regular catching job, and there
was no use even bringing up the ques-
ton Of pitchers. Anyway. you were
very much obliged and moved on.
Travis Drops Ballast.
A DAVENPORT in the hotel lobby
was the next stop. On the dav-
export lounged Cecil Travis. who was
fresh from a salary conference with
Boss Griffith.
Travis Is supposed to have new
personality. From the languid, lanky
boy Of 1884, 1885 and 1886, he was
supposed to have reformed, as per
Grifith's orders, and become a nail
chewing toughie who will make fair
sized salary by just punching opposing
ball players and winning rewards from
the Old Fox
You didn't see much differ
ence. When you asked him how
he made out in his confab with
Griff he Just grinned and said:
"All right, All reckon" and let
1t 60 at that.
Travis looks different this year II
he doesn't act differently. He's thin
ner. bonier.
yeah, All only weigh ITS stripped
right now" he disclosed
This time last year All weighed
1856. All don't know how it's gonna
work out, but everybody's saying All
was too slow to play good shortstop
last year, and so Ah'm dropping bal
last"
Somehow your sympathy is with
Travis. For three full seasons he has
been one of the best hitters in the
American League and he still doesn't
know what he s-third baseman,
shortstop. second baseman or out
fielder.

Catching Job Wide Open.

CTREET clothes are deceiving and
~ hence there were no means OF
guessing at Bottoms condition, which
may be an important factor to the
Washingtons. He looked to be bronzeo
by sun and admitted that he had been
working to get in shape" This state
ment, however, did not jibe with re-
cent reports from Bottoms home
where Cliff was reported to be in poor
shape for playing ball. Bolton did not
dwell on the subject much. though
fitting off and leaving the curious
with a stock load of angles to ponder
With Bolton finally back in good
standing, Harris took occasion to cor
rect the impression that Shanty Ho-
gan definitely has been selected to
be Washington's first-string catcher
"If that's the way folks have beer
constituting the set-up," said Harris
"its wrong. The job is wide open
and. as a matter of fact, not only
between Bolton and Hogan. What
about little Miles?
"The fellow who looks best to me
between now and the time when we
break camp will do most Of the catch
ing. Hogan, naturally, must be con-
sidered because he has q world OF
experience and is right-handed hit
ter and a pretty good one. Miles
Is q peppery young fellow who proved
last year that he can hit and. gosh
knows, there aren't many catchers who
are more dangerous at bat than

man." he began. II think that he's the
logical hitter to bat first. Buddy Myer
would be second, and then, I think Joe
Kuhel ought to step up.
"The cleanup hitter? Get ready for
a shock. If we were to open the season
tomorrow I'd have Fred Sington hit
ting fourth"
Hill Not Out Of It.
A LII along it was generally under
= stood that Sington was going to
get every chance to win regular out
fielding job, but you had no idea he
was being considered so certain OF
playing. Here he not only seems sure
to do the right but, in his first
year as major league player, Freddie
is going to bat in the cleanup post.
No, that doesn't mean that
Jesse Hill is out of the running.

EOR the first batting practice ses-
sion of 1887, Harris nominated
five young pitchers to serve as martyrs
on the slab. Frank Peticolas and
Harold Conn, regular batting practice
pitcher during the season, are two who
are to chuck They were to be
augmented by Leslie Butcher. a sand
lotter from Washington who Is en-
route to Trenton, and Rockies Sgd
Cohen and Ken Chase, both left
handlers.
"The fellows really are anxious to

more than am. want to see young
Wasden (rookie first baseman) and
Early (recruit catcheD swing bat.
I know that both OF them can use
their gloves okay. AS prospects, they're
really important to us"
Practice No. yesterday was marked
by the 1897 debut of Ossie Bluege.
The veteran infielder, beginning his
sixteenth year as National, turned
out and proceeded to steal the show
from rockies and fellow vets alike.
A knot of bystanders and even play
ers gathered and grew near Bluege
when First Baseman Joe Kuhel picked
up a bat and started to bang drivers
to him. No matter how many times
you've seen Oss pick up grounders. it's

No Truth in
Birthnarks
Superstition
BY GLADYS BEVANs

Advice to mothers-to-be, and
mothers who Just are for the
first time:
Don't be frightened by scary
tales, old wives tales we call
them.
Also, don't be influenced or
upset by all the information and
advice, usually misinformation
and poor advice, that is handed
out so generously by neighbors,
relatives, and friends when they
know you are going to have a
baby or when yours Is very
young.
MUCH IGNORANCE
In spite OF all the literature
and baby health education that
Is abroad in the land, there
Is still an amazing amount
Of superstition and ignorance
extant. One of the most wide
spread ideas Is that of mark
ing" q child. Well do I re-
member when I was a little girl
hearing the horrifying state
ment that if a woman looked at
q pig when she was expecting a
baby the baby would look like a
pig.
Then there's the one about
food: if a woman who is expect
ing q baby Graves some special
food, her child will be marked
with its likeness. and If a pros
pective mother sees q cripple,
for instance, and laughs at him,
her child may be q cripple.
PURE FICTION
This sort of thing in various
forms is still believed by many
people; that If q mother does
this or that, if she looks at one
object or another Of a special
sort, then her baby will have a
mark resembling the mothers
mental image.
Don't be frightened by tales
like this. They simply are not
true.
Also, don't build up a whole
structure of dos and don'tS for
the time when you are carrying
your baby. Life can be carried
on happily and normally all
through these months, If a
woman is in average health.
NORMAL FUNCTION
And don't be frightened by
tales Of horror about childbirth.
Childbirth is a normal function
and those stories you hear are
the exception, not the rule.
Instead Of being filled with
apprehenSionS which really are
not good for you or your baby,
put yourself in the hands of a
good doctor from the beginning
and make periodical visits to
him.

Mothers are the queerest things!
Member when John went

All but mother cried and cried
When they said goodbye that
day.
She just talked and seemed to be
Not the slightest bit upset
Was the only one who smiled!
Other eyes were streamin' wet.
But when John came back again
On furlough, safe and sound,
With a medal for his deeds,
And without a single wound,
While the rest of us hurrahed,
Laughed and joked and danced
about.
Mother kissed him, then she
cried
Cried and cried like all git out!

Dear Mrs. Beecknan:
"A woman of so is about to
be married. She has taught
school all her life, spending her
summers at home with her par
entS.
THE parents are still active,
taking an interest in life.
Should the couple announce
their own marriage, or should 1t
be announced by the brides
parents? A READER"
suggest that, under these
circumstances, the bride have
her parents announce her mar
riage. Having a marriage an
nounced by the brides parents
is always desirable, since it lends
background and dignity to the
announcement.
And since the bride of whom
you write spends so much time
with her parents, and since her
parents would undoubtedly de-
light in being given the honor
of making this important an
nouncement, hope that she de-
cides to have the announce
ments sent in their names.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"A little while ago your
column published a letter from
a young man with the initials
P. G. H. He said he was in love
with a charming girl who was
straight as a die" but that she
came from a very poor family.
and, his own family having
lost everything in the depression
he was haunted by specterS Of
poverty and did not wish to con-
slider marriage with this girl,
though they were both deeply in
love.
"Biologically speaking, I think
this young man is a jellyfiSh.
Why should he want a girl to
support him? And that's what
it amounts to, when a man goes
after a very rich girl.
cts the husbands place to
support the wife, or both Of
them to pull together. Very
likely, and undoubtedly the girl.
from what this poor-spirited
man says Of her, is the stronger
character Of the two.
Money has carried too many
marriages to destruction, to
think it is the whole thing in
welded life. D. r. B."
When I read P. G. HIS letter,

DIR. Eisen at Ninety.

1t must be great fun to celebrate a
ninetieth birthday anniversary, still
active, still enthusiastic about life. DR..
Gustavus Augustus Eisen, biologist and
archeologist, author Of more than a hun
dred books, is making the most Of the
pleasure Of such an experience.
But 1t is because he has been con-
structively busy every moment of his
career that the veteran philosopher is
happy. His joy traces back to the genius
for labor with which he was endowed ut
birth. And that is democratic heritage.
Most men are equipped with it in major
or minor degree. The problem is one
Of developing skill for discrimination.
Small benefit accrues to any individual
unless he can put his span Of years In
harness. A plan, a pattern is wanted.
Yet few persons are competent to
choose wisely In youth. Time, 1t seems,
invariably Is wasted In experiments. A
