The first two named have demonstrated by their work here that they are well worth hanging on to, and the latter pair are assured of sticking around at least for a while on the strength of what Association last year. President Griffith today definitely { announced this quartet of youngsters would make the barnstorming trip back home, and intimated that Deeby Foss also stood a good chance of| hanging on beyond the training camp | eriod. President indications are that Butfheiders Tucker and McHugh and | Inflelder Marhafka either will be cast | adrift or placed elsewhere, although final decision in regard to them will be reserved until near the close of the | conditioning period. Understudy for O'Rourke. | It develops that, contrary to the| general impression, La Motte is not being figured on as a candidate for the vacancy at third base, but rather as an understudy for Frank O'Rourke at short. Comment on the fact that La Motte has appeared in the drllL\! here exclusively at short evoked the information from the president of the club that Bob is to be groomed to step into O'Rourke's shpes in case enything should hanpen to incapaci- | tate the Pennsylvanian. La Motte is| to be thoroughly drilled in the finer points of play at the short ficld posi- tion so that should oceasion arrive he will be ready to handle the job there, from a fielding standpoint, at least, in a creditable manner. After he is adjudged to tered the intricacies of that job he will be shifted over to the far corner: to absorb pointers on the proper man- ner to take care of the difficult duties ; of that position p The program for La Motte increases Foss' chance of hanging on with the Griffmen. as it practically leaves him with onlv Ellerbe and Shanks to con- tend with for the hot post. Foss al- ready has demonstrated that he is fair enough fielder at third. He is not 80 efficient on hard hit balls as El- lerbe, who, despite his faults. can| gobbie un the balls with whiskers on them. The governor can handle| smashes of the speedy type in an im- | pressive manner. have mas- | Foss Is far his superior at coming in for bunts and slow rollers and angle of play that Frank seems unable to| fmprove in, but Ellerbe possesses a | - throwing arm that is even stronger than Foss' and can be expected to hit American League pitching for a mark ‘ elpse to .300. : | Hitting Will Deelde. The final decision in regard to Foss pmobably will simmer down to the showing he makes at bat. He is ac- counted a good hitter in these parts. but connecting with state league hurling and the brand on tap in Ban Johnson's circuit are two different matters. A pretty good line on Foss’ % caliber as a sticksmith will be ob- tained by the time Manager McBride is.ready to move his troupe on to the next place. The pitchers here are fast rounding into shape and it is ex- pected that Johnson and Shaw will n: take long to get into flinging trim after spending a couple of weeks at Hot Springs. During the final week here the slabbists will have enough uff at their command to give Foss a good test. and it will depend on the ing_he makes then whether he stick. The Nationals stand to shell out a * fair-sized sum should La Motte and | ¢ Foss both be retained. An initial} payment of §2,500 was made for the peivilege of trying out this pair. Keeping La Motte will cost the club an additional $3,000, and in the event that Foss also is retained, another ‘ payment of $2,500 must be made. the f 1 of the Ouakers, on March 1. 17 ana 1 18, Onlv the voungsters will make #he trip to the seat af the T'niversitv of Florida, hnt in the = pair thus representin= an outlay of £7,500. a goodly sum for two players | from a league of the classification of the Florida state circuit.

With the bases filled and two | strikes and two balls on the batsman the pitcher de red the ball. which struck perhaps two feet in front of jthe home plate. The moment the ball struck the ground the umpire velled ball three. After striking the ground it took @ pecullar english. and. despite every effort of the batsman, the ball struck him on the leg. The moment the ball hit the bagsman the manager Vof the team at bat claimed the bats- {man was entitled to first buse. dexpite the fact that the umpire had ruled the ipiteh a ball, making ball three. The umpire changed his decision and per- mitted the batsman to go to first forcing a run over the plate. That run proved enough to decide the game. The team in the field protest- ed. Did the umpire make the proper ,ruling when he allowed the batsman to go to firat base, forcing a run over the plate? Did the fact that he had already made a decision on the pitch, ruling it a ball, make void the hitting 'nf the batsman? If such a pitched ball after it hit the ground bounded over the heart of the plate about waist high, would that make it a strike? Umplire's Second Ruling Correct. The umpire made the proper ruling they accomplished in the Southern time the athletes got ready for their work-out. sufficiently recovered cold to get into uni- form and inject some life into the practice. Nick was given a noisy welcome by the hangers-on, who turn out for the practice sessions daily. Torres emulated Picinich's example and got back of the bat for the hit- ting drill attired in his full regalia. Ricardo has not fully shaken off the effects of an attack of malaria and does not show much pep. Tucker s so tuckered from his ex- ertion in trying to reduce that when he stumbled and fell in getting away from the plate he just laid there for a few moments without attempting to get up. Dinwoodie is just about all in when he gets through his daily drill. Bert McHugh has sprung a charley ! horse in his leg. Griff_got a good laugh out of the | report from Boston that efforts would | be made by the management of the Red Sox to trade Stuffy Meclnnis to the Nationals for Joe Judge. JNSON HONTS PLOT Wires Griff to Help Land Man to Lead Coffeyville’s Newly Acquired Team. ,TAMPA, Fla, March 10.—Walter Johnson. who has returned to his home from Hot Springs before re- porting here for spring training, wired President Griffith last nighs; asking him to dig up a manager for | the Coffeyville team. | It seems that the business men of | Johnson's home town have purchase the Coffeyville franchise in the| Southwestern League, and have asked Walter to find a gooidl pilot. Barney in turn has appealed to his boss.| Griff is willing to oblige if he can locate any one suitable for the posi- tion who is out of a job and has his| thinking cap on.

Prisoners are sct free every month under this law. In view of the many delays in the trial of the eight indicted White Sox on the charge of “throw g" the world series of 1919, it was sug- gested here today that the attorneys for the defense might fall back on this law to get their clients off without a trial. It is five months since the indict- ments were returned, and progress to a trial has been slow. One judge fixed March 14 as the date when the players should plead, but later the cases were transferred to Judge De- ver's court. Now the state says the two assist- ant state’s attorneye who have been assigned to the cases have been called out of the city. Judge Barrett has been engaged by the American League to prosecute, and he will ask time— six months, It is said—to look over the evidence. Judge Dever was ill today. His clerk said, however, that the judge had Indicated that he would not grant “much more than a month's delay.” Defenxe Ready to Go On. Meanwhile the defenie has repeat- edly announced that it is ready to &0 on. The indicted players will be in a position to demand a dismissal of the charges against them in another month.

It would ruin any team, they say, because, after all, ball players are human beings and are inclined to resent too great an em- phasis upon a fellow player. Or, if they don't resent it, it atleast breeds in them a spirit of individual- ism which is not gooed for a club. For instance, Babe Ruth walks up to the with the privilege 8f rapping cery ball that comes to him over the fence. Fellow players go to the bat with instructions. They must bunt, or sacrifice, or may have to do some- thing likely to interfere with their batting averages. One may imagine that this does not make a batter feel any too good when he knows that the Bimbo goes to the plate without any instructions save to pile up his home run record. Wanted His Teeth Fixed. Out in Milwaukee they are telling a story on one of the four-round box- ers on the Pacific coast whose reward for twelve minutes of fighting are cups valued at $35. The boxer went fo'a promoter. “Say, chief.” he said, “can't I have the value of that cup go toward some dentist work I want done?
