The Peerless Ce&dcr is always for dignity. "I don't know,'' saysNGriff, "I think Chance should wait till the season gets tinder way.

"Here in Washington my team is known as the Nationals, but this is true .of this town alone. Wherever we go iriy players are known as the Sen ators. Last year they became known as the Climbers, a pretty good name, too, when you look over the history of Washington teams. This new name means something everywhere we go.

"Of all the names given the New York. club. I think Yankees is the best to date.

Discover Wonder. Now they're touting young Shanlcy In Detroit to be faster than Ty Cobb. By the time the season opens this mad ness will have worked itself out and sanity will once more have returned to those energetic young men in the City of Straits. It's trulv amazing how many can "beat Cobb" or "make John son look like a shine." They re on every side In the bushes. They remain In the bushes, or else they emerge for one brief breath In the big show. And BOB THAYER'S SPORTING GOSSIP "EVERY KNOCK No football et- President Butler denies that Columbia will have a football eleven next season.

It is expected, though, that Brown' will pay and obtain his sanction. Lock.e, Joker. Willie Locke announces that his Phll l'ts will be "one of the first eight teams to finish in the National League pen nant nice." Glancing quickly at the loster. one discovers eight teams in the league. Hence, the natural conclusion Is that Willie is a Joker. Fie.WJIlle! Fitzgerald loics.

He found that Ithody Wallace, aged, decrepit, and hamstrung as he is supposed to be. was a far better shortfteld artist artist than the Burlington team ever will produce In a dozen seasons. All this wonderful speed of young Shanley failed to materialize when he Joined the Browns. Anyway, what good is just speed when you can't hit the pill hard enough to keep it out reach of the voracious inflelders. That's about Shanley's class, too light with the wil low. So he was quietly allowed to slide out or Si. Louis to Detroit. Crazy About Kids. Up in Detroit, by the way, they are going crazy about kids. Perhaps it's a case of the wish being the father of the thought, but they certainly are waxing enthusiastic over the young sters Hughey Jennings will try out in the South.

Connie will be fortunate if he can find two worth noticing. But this wizard of the national ratne will devote his entire time to developing youngsters from now on, realizing that his veterans are about through in the big show and that good men must take their places when they drop by the wayside.
