YOUNGPLAYERS STARTFOR FLORIDA CAMP TOTRAIN FOR FLAG RACE

Fourteen Athletes Listed in Washington Party,With Others to Go to Tampa From TheirHomes.Shaw Must Sign by March 5.

BY DENMAN THOMPSON.THEY'RE OFF. Headed by Clark Griffith and a small squad of

scribes, a dozen or so of the youngsters who aspire to jobswith the Nationals this year boarded an Atlantic Coast Linetrain for the training canip at Tampa, Fla., this afternoon.Thev are due to reach their destination tomorrow at midnight,

and, following a day of rest, plunge iuto the work of getting ready forthe opening of the championship season some six weeks hence.

Business of counting noses had not been completed at the timethis edition went galloping to press, so no enumeration of those whofailed to show up is possible. Some one is almost certain to stub histoe or something, it being a well established custom with all big leagueclubs for at least one member of the party to miss the train. How¬ever, those who were expected to have their upper berth apprehen¬sions cither confirmed or dissipated total fourteen, the list embracingPitchers Erickson, Carlson, Schacht, Golden, Snyder and Gill, CatchersPicinich and Greenaae (spelling guaranteed by Griffith) and InfieldersEllerbe, O'Neill, Harris, Watts, Grubb and Stark.

Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary is due to join the party when the trainreaches Latta, S. C. Infielder Crosby Washburn, the Western Leaguephenom, who liv«s in Wichita, Kan., and Catcher Walter Mayer, whomakes his home in Cincinnati, will proceed to the camp direct. DaveyCrockett, the young pitcher who was signed up last season, has dropped

j out "of sight, and Griff has had the postal service working overtimein Oklahoma, where he held forth when last heard'from. Mail ad-dressed to him has been returned unclaimed, so it appears that, likeDavenport and Gharrity, he may be conspicuous by his absence.

SHANNON ASSUMES STATUS OF REGULAR.Moss Shannon, who has a well defined idea that he possesses a

strangle hold on that second-base job and regards himself entitled tothe privileges and consideration accorded the regulars, has been givenpermission to sidestep one week of toil, indicating that Griff is in¬clined to coincide with this appraisement. Accordingly Shannon will

.not report until Sunday, March 7, along with the veterans, Johnson,Judge, Leonard, Koth, Milan, Shanks and McBride. Sam Rice, withhis coal supply depleted by the rigors of an Illinois winter, may joinMartin, Altrock, Courtney and Engel at the camp even before Grif¬fith's party gets there.

The base ball future of James Aloysius Shaw is a trifle obscureat the present writing. Those who know the good-natured hurler wellare confident he will be on the job sooner or later, but it looks verymuch now as if it will be later. Jim is a pretty good balk artist, as hedemonstrated last spring when 'he trailed into camp at Augusta a

week or so later than the rest of the pack. He hasn't got the ship¬yard lea.gue for an arguing point this year, however, and is expected^o close his end of the debate at an earlier period. Griffith alreadyhas rested his case, having announced that Shaw has received his topfigpres and giving him until March 5 to take 'em or leave 'em. It isexpected that by a week from today J. Aloysius will have looked upthe trains south from Pittsburgh.

LfARRY FRAEE'S failure to expend any part j>f that "more than" f 100,000" he received from the Yankees for Babe Ruth has agitatedBoston fans and newspapers critics considerably. It is estimated byone of the scribes that the Red Sox have received approximately$195,000 through the salt of Ruth, Carl Mays, Duffy Lewis, Ernie Shore,Hub Leonard and Sam Agnew, and have spent about $57,500 in acquir¬ing Stuffy ifclnnis, Wolly Schang, Joe Bush, Amos StrunJc, BUI Lamarand Waite Uoyt. The fans are clamoring to know when Frazee isgoing to expend for n;w players the $137,500, whuh represents the dif¬ference between these sums.

Foot Ball Coach Accepts OfferFrom Ithacani After Three/

Tears With Navy.ANNAPOLIS, Md., February 27..It

was definitely settled yesterday after¬noon that Gilmour Dobie, who hascoached the Naval Academy foot ballteam for three seasons, after nineyears at the University of Washing¬ton, during: which his eleven was notdefeated, would not return for theoominr «eason. but would i.ooept an

aa a successor to Dobie. but Bob Pol-well, recently of the University ofPennsylvania, is being considered forthe position.Dobie was und,jer contract to aot as

head coach at the academy for onemore season, but. upon receiving theoffer from Cornell, he asked to be re¬leased: the executive committee of theNavy Athletic Association thereuponasked him to suggest terms uponwhioh he would remain for threeyears at the aaademy, which Dobiedeclined to do.

Naval Academy had been pleasant inevery particular and that he had beengiven loyal support by every one.

ONTHEBEINGA SERIES OF

STORIES ABOUT PLAYS AND PIASTERS

^ Qg.Its,

Ninth-inning batting rallies have beenbroken up on account of all kinds ofunusual things done by some players,but It remained for one of Connie Mack'sathletes to Introduce something new

last year. Usually a "boneheadcd play"Is the cause of all the trouble, and Inthis case a mental lapse suddenly termi¬nated the game Just when Mack's clubappeared to have a chance. Such a hap¬pening would have caused many man¬agers to fret and fume, but not the taci¬turn Connie Mack. Perhaps Connlo In¬wardly said a lot of things, but he boreup with a smile. After the game thetwo umpires as well as both clubsjumped to tht> east. At the stationsome one had the nerve to bring up theplay to Mack and with a miillo Conniereplied:

"Well, my club lias established arecord this year for making plays con¬trary to the usual manner, so whyshould I let a little thing like tills worryme. Kvery recruit has to do a lot ofpeculiar things before he becomes ac¬customed to big league ways."

Surely no one could havo taken theplay more good naturedly, yet no onehad a better right to be peeved, becauseIf there is one manager In the worldwho tries to drill the recruits In theproper way to play base ball that in¬dividual Is Connie Mack.The Athletics were playing in Cleve¬

land. It was the final game of theseries. The Philadelphia club wasjumping back home that evening. Thetrip through the west had been none toosuccessful. Of course Mack was hopingto go home with a victory to his credirIn the final clash. At the opening ofthe ninth inning the score was 5 to 2against Philadelphia, Then, when noone really expected it, the Mackmenstarted a rally. In a moment's timetwo runs had been scored, the baseswere tilled and only one man was out.Stanley Coveleskie, star pitcher of theCleveland club, had been rushed to therescue Burrus had only recently joinedthe club, and came with a great repu¬tation as a hitter. Mack called on himto meet this rather ticklish situation.After looking over a couple of the ballshe got one to his liking and hit it rightback at Coveleskie.The ball came to Coveleskie on the

third bounce, which was hfeh. Itlooked like "a suro-enough base hit,and it seemed certain that the scorewould at least be tied. Somehow*Coveleskie managed to knock downthe ball and by a remarkably quickrecovery managed to force the runnerat the plate. There was no chance toget Burrus at first base. That madetwo men out, the score still 5 to 4and the bases filled.Right at this stage of the proceed¬

ings Burrus came through with theplay that startled the multitude., end¬ed the ball game and killed anychance the Athletics had. After re¬turning to first base he suffered amental lapse of some kind. In allprobability he thought three men wereout, for, after standing on first basefor a second, he decided the gamewas over and walked off the base inthe direction of the Cleveland dug¬out Instantly he was surrounded bynearly every player on the ClevelandInfield, and Bill Wambsganss. theCleveland second baseman, finallytouched him out, despite the efforts

After a° season of ratherpoor officiating some of the local col¬leges awoke to the fact that Deering,an official of the IntercollegiateLeague, makes his home in Wash¬ington.
