It is the bat- | tery corps. It will reach Macon, Ga., Monday night. The anniversary of ! the birth of George Washington, who s known to baseball by that trite ap- horism, “First in war, first in peace ; and last in the American league,” will be celebrated by slow warm-ups, with no curves.

Walters and Aragon are only two of more than fifty ball players who will sooner or later pass before Don- ovan in review at the Macon camp. The squad which leaves New York tomorrow afternoon will consist of Wild Bill Donovan, Ray Keatin George Mogridge, John Pieh. Pius Schwert, Gilman C Harry Smith, James McGovern, Leslie Nunamaker, Coach Charles Farrell and James Duggan, trainer, Ford Meadows and Cliff Markle, pitchers, will join the entourage at Washington, and Allen Russell and George Finn, two other freshman hurlers, will board the train at Baltimore.
