PLAYER cannot afford to spend sew
eral months in New York City con-
testing for a title that carries no
cash value.
But in the world there are out
standing champions among the fairer
sex, namely: Frau Salome Reischer,

Mile. Chantal de Sillans, France; Mrs.
E. Holloway, Great Britain; Nine. c.

All of these are national
champions. They are the fore
most exponents of chess among
the women in their own cOun-
try, and many of them rank
high in open-tourney play,
where they encounter male
stars.
Chess Is not exclusively q mans
game, but it does require analytical
thinking and concise, logical play Of
the pieces. A good memory is an as
set, and patience is virtue to be
desired. Concentration is required to
a high degree, and it is our opinion
that should the women give more of
their knitting time to the game they
will be able to develop such skill as to
place them on a par with the class A

~ AYTONA BEACH, Fla, April
7.-Charley Colbert, whose
playing days with the St.
- Louis Cardinals were cut
short by a hunting accident in 1882,
was named today as the Cincinnati
Reds regular second-sacker for the
1887 season.
Staging one Of base balls outstand-
ing comebacks, Gelbert has almost
completely recovered from leg injury
suffered in the accidental discharge
of shotgun and, said Manager
Charley Dresser, sis hitting second
only to Joe Dwyer," veteran Nashville
rookie.
Colbert will replace little Alex Kam-
pouris, third-year man with the Reds,
and listed in records as the only Greek
in major league base ball. Kamporis
is product of the West Coast minors.
Still Can Swat Ball.
X" AMPY is faster and a little better
than Colbert in pivoting a double
play" said Dresser, "but we need
Charley's power at the plate. He can
ride that apple a country mile and is
much better hitter in the clutch. ,"
"Gelbert," he continued, "is one Of
the smartest infielders in the game
He hasn't been bothered by his injured
leg so far and if he can play 100 or
more games, he'll be a great help in
our fight for the first-division berth" :"
Dresser said the veteran Kiki
Cuyler again would be his 'lead-of"
man and that either Jimmy Outlaw or
Lew Riggs, third -sackers, would be in
the No. 2 position.

Hits Hedge, Saves Shutout.

4 GAINST the Cards the other day he
went from second base to third
on a short outfeld fly. The throw
seemingly had him nailed but Al threw
his body into a head-first slide, a la
the most ambitious busher, and reached
his goal. The average rookie, seeking
to make good, is willing to risk having
his fingers cut off by the baseman's
spikes, but few veterans of 13 years
service, like Simmons, are seen to
make such slides.
And, not to be overlooked, was
the setting. Not a championship
game, by any means. 1t was just
another exhibition.
Yesterday, sporting a Washington
uniform for the second day, AL showed
no let-up in his hustle. He saved a
shutout against the Tigers, when, with
runner on second base, Simmons
plunged recklessly into the thorn
studded 8foot hedge in left field
to grab drive by Hank Greenberg.
Twice he grounded to the infield
and twice he was fortunate in that
Tiger f1elders juggled the ball mo-
mentarily. In both instances they
recovered in a flash and in time to
flag runner who was not digging.
But on neither occasion did they get
Al. He ran them out.
Adds to Mats Throwing Ability.
CINCE Simmons pulled on Wash
ington uniform the Mats broke
four-game losing streak and won two
in row. This, Of course, is not con-
elusive evidence that as Mr.. Simmons
gees 50 will the Griffs, but it is
pleasant to report that the Grif1s
look better with Al in left field.
For one item, the defensive ability
of the Washington outfleld was in
creased. Stone is a good right fielder
and the shift affected him none at
all. Simmons, on the other hand,
is far superior to Fred Sington and
Taft Wright, defensively, and better
thrower than Jesse Hill
His throwing arm he demon
strated yesterday in the second
inning. F1eet-footed Chet Laabs
was on second base when
Catcher Tebbetts singled to left.
On the ball like a flash, AL whipped
a perfect strike to Shanty Hogan at
the plate and Laabs was caught by
several feet, retiring the side.
And extensively, as Harris put 1t,
''he looks great at that bat, even If
he does go hitless now and then. Let
Washington fans give that fellow a
break and he'll do a lot for our ball
club"

RUCKY acquiesced, and if Cascarel-

tain that De Shong will be saved for
the Yanks, against whom he has been
effective. Thus Newsom, Weaver, Ap-
pleton and Cascarella might be viewed
as the only pitchers battling for the
opening-game assignment.
AS matter of fact, Harris puzzle
ment over his pitching is more deep
rooted than naming the pitcher for
the opener. He was saying today
that he cannot use five pitchers as
starters and must denote one of his
ranking quintet to relief role But

There is no chance of dropping
Appleton. Nor Weaver, on the

Cascarella is ranked l, 2, 3 in Bucky's
