They thought the President was ready to leave the park and there were all sorts of jump- ing and rushing to make ready for the President's trip from his hox to his automobile. He noticed all this and ns he sat down again and saw the look of concern upon the faces of some of his bodyguards he broke into laugh. Being unable to lose this | opportunity to have a little fun with Richard Jervis, chief of the White House secret service, who was closest to him and who displayed the great- est amount of anxiety, the President innocently asked, “Why all the ex- itement “We thought you leave,” Jervis replied “Oh, no. ‘We are going to stay until the end,” the President smilingly r President Coolidge has given all the indications, after witnessing the first base ball game of the season, of be- coming a regula an, At least, he intimated that he would attend requently the performances at the Griffith Stadium But no matter how good were his intentions or how keen his desires he has failed thus far since being a resident. of Washington to be- come a fan. | The President's trips to the ball park | have been confined to the opening ames and once or twice during those proud periods when the world ser were being played here. Last year business of his office prevented him from attending even the opening game. However, during the season he gives a glance to the daily newspaper accounts of the ball games and fre- quently talks base ball with callers whom he knows are interested in this | American sport, and when asked wh he does not go to more games he has always replied that he has been too busy to get away.

Mr. Fisher is no novice at the micro- phone. For more than two years he gave sports talks five nights a week over station WEAF. The perform- ance yesterday gave Washington fans | the assurance that they will have the games dished out to them through the ether this Summer in snappy, inter- esting, accurate style. The radio announcer must be quick- witted and a clever improvisor in or- der to fill in the gaps between plays and innings and hold the fans at their recefvers. Interested In Sport. “Frankly, T have never seen a city in the world as interested in sports as Washington and I am not saying that to be nice,” Mr. Fisher said, at the start of his work yesterday. Then he started on the hase ball prospects of the year, not alone for the Washington team, but for the other teams in the American League. He safd: “There is something that T want to bring to your attentlon, though, and that is this outfield of the Wash: ington team. 1 must mention that. 1 do not believe really there is a better outfield in the country today, either in the American or the National League. We have Rice, Speaker and Goslin, almost a perfect defense out there. “'So far as our pitching staff is con- cerned—well, as the hoys say, it not so good. T cannot get very terribly excited over it. We have got Mar- herry, a good pinch man, and Barney Johnson is out. Unfortunately he is unable to start today and Coveleskie will start. Predicts Tmprovement. “But, the recruits from the Southern League cannot be expected to do so much now. Of course, they may be good after they have had an oppor- tunity. “The situation reminds me of a young fellow that went to John Mc- Graw, John told me this story him- =elf, so I suppose it is true. This young recruit went to him and said, ‘Mr. McGraw, I am'a great' fielder, and a great hitter——good on the of- fense and good on the defense. I want a job.” John said, ‘well, what do you play?’ “ He sald, ‘right fleld.’ *So, you play right fleld? “‘He aid, ‘I am a riot in right fleld.’ “John McGraw said, ‘well, I will tell you what I will do. T will give you a little chance to do your stuff. Sups u go right out there in the at the Polo Grounds and let me see what you can do. " “The boy looked out there for a few minutes and finally he said, ‘Mr. M- Graw, which is right field out here “Now, those are things we have got | to contend with this year in both leagues. We have got things pretty badly mixed up because of these shake-ups. They are wore than a shake-up in a police department. Ed- die Rousch, Rogers Hornsby, Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and Eddie Collins, have all been shifted around. As a matter of fact, Eddie Collins, you might say, is a man who came back—came back to Philadelp) “That great infield—do you 1 it?

The idea is to have each member hammer at a steady beat until the upper is gained “The Washington police, as far as we are concerned, are 100 per cent perfect, and we know, with the handful of en- forcement agents at their disposal, they have done all that is to be ex- pected.
