MILAN'S GREAT PLAYING
TRIBUTE TO JIM MfcALEER
Coaching by Nationals' Boss
Fruit Doc Moyer Is
Interesting
Bj- WILLIAM PEET.
When Tim Murnane. the veteran ball
player, now making a living by 'writing
pieces for the Boston Globe, was in Wash
ington recently, with the Boston Red Sox.
he pulled a significant remark anent
Clyde Milan.
"Every time I see that youngster he
reminds mo more and more of Jim Mc-
Aleer when Jim was In his prime and re-
garded as the greatest outfielder In the
world," said Murnane, and he added:
'"Milan's every action the manner In
which he goes after balls hit over his
head, the way he backs up second
every move he makes recalls McAleer aa
I remember him."
Milan Is a better fielder this year than
ever before In His life and there Is
reason.
The XatlonalB had been In Atlanta
scarcely a week this spring when one
morning Manager Jim sauntered to the
outfield, taking his station near Milan
who was catching files In turn with the
other men.
For fifteen minutes McAleer coached the
youngster, ezplanlng this point and that,
telling him how he handled difficult
chances when he was in the game, in fact,
giving the youngster the benefit of his
long experience, which advice Milan was
quick to grasp and follow out.
Three or four times a week McAleer
spent a portion of the practice period
with Milan, illustrating himself some of
the points ho wanted to bring out.
The fruits of Manager Jim's labors are
now being shoun In the form displayed
by the speedy little outfielder.
Is it any wonder that Tim Murnane
sees the resemblance between Milan and
McAleer'
Doc Mover's brief stay with the Na
tionals this spring has evidently taught
him expensive habits. A report from
1 oungstow n, Ohio, to which ball club
Moyer was turned back, states that the
pitcher is a hold-out and refuses to sign.
Here's the dispatch.
"Pitcher Doc Moyer may spend the
summer on his farm In Andover and
may pitch for the Andover Blues. The
reason is that Doc is a hold-out, and
unless he igns the contract tendered him
b Manager Phillips at the salary of
fered. Doc will not play league ball this
season Moer came down from And
oer to consult the local club about
terms Manager Phillips inserted a sub
stantial increase over the figure Doc drew
last j ear while with the Steelmen, but
it was not large enough to tempt Doc to
affix his name to the paper Manager
Bill sas the terms are the best that he
can gie, and Doc says they are not to
his liking, so there's the situation."
Dixie Walker, the Nationals eccentric
twlrler, is walking in the straight and
narrow path these days Last Friday
Manager McAleer had another heart-to-heart
talk with the pitcher, and read
again the not act
It is belieed that the big fellow is
badh scared and realizes that he has
nearly gotten to the end of his rope.
The fans are hoping that Walker will
behave himself and give the club a fair
return for money expended.

Detroit, April 23. The Tigers "won a
ten-Inning game from the Browns this
afternoon, 4 to 3.
Mullln held the Browns too cheaply In
the early stages, and St. Louis collected
three runs in a desultory manner. Bobby
Wallace's new southpaw, George, was
troublesome, however, and along about
the middle of the game Mullln observed
that he really would have to work. After
that only three Browns got on. Score:

Gossip.

The Moonshiner will have to perk up,
or else Manager Jim will have another
outfielder on his hands.
"Hunter, "Wilson, and Gibson." reads a
section of the Pittsburg batting order.
Yes, -waiter; and a little water on the
Ride.
Tom Akers, the sporting editor of the
Atlanta Journal. Is an original chap,
ins page Is easily the best In the South,
on account of Its originality.
Every time Akers finds time heavy
on his hands, he Invents a new curve
for the benefit of the Atlanta baseball
bugs. Here is his latest: "The official
curve for to-day is known as the 'Wog-gle-Whiffer.'
It is delivered by the
pitcher without the aid of any of the
other players. The slabman projects the
ball toward the batter with his right
great toe and his left index finger. The
ball floats toward the batter slowly, like
a toy balloon, and when Just out of strlk
ing distance, oscillates rapidly from side
to side, until the batter loses track of
It. Then It 'whiffs' across the plate and
nestles coyly in the catcher's glove, which
he holds there for that purpose It's a
good curve, and goes to church every
Sunday when the team is at home."
News from Milwaukee states that Jerry
Eddinger, former trainer of the Nationals,
now an American Association umpire. Is
having his troubles, and stands a fair
chance of being "canned." This Infor
mation will likely bring tears to Eddln
ger's ball player friends on the "Wash
ington club. Perhaps!
Tuck Turner, of the Naps, has the
smallest hands of any infielder In the
American League. A baseball fills his
palm.
Kid Elberfeld has small hands, but
they cover Terry's with room to spare.
Ter-y s fingers are short and stubby.
Turner relies on his strong grip to
hold hard hit balls. He also depends
on his grip in throwing. He gets hold
of only a part of the ball, but he grips
that tight
Big hands help make Hans Wagner a
wonderful shortstop. Terry's hands
are only about half as big, but he has
often been compared to "Wagner as a
fielder.
For years ever since the days when
Tom Corcoran began to decline, there
have been two questions bothering the
Cincinnati manager shortstop position
and pitchers. But Clarke Griffith bolleves
that the shortstop problem Is solved.
He thinks the infield gap has been filled
to a nicety by Davy Altizer. This season
still is young, but to Griffith Altizer
looks like the man for the place. "Altizer
played conitent ball all the way
through spring training and in thee early
games," said Grif, "and if he keeps up
anything like his present stride I believe
he will fill the bill One or two sen
sational catches do not constitute a ball
player. Ho must play good, hard, gin
gery, consistent ball all the way through
never letting up for a minute, and
that's what I hope Altizer is going to
do."

BDRMAN BREAKS
MILE RECORD AGAIN
New Kilometer and Two-mile
Marks Made by Pilot Bob.
Daytona, Fla., April 23. Trailing his
own records of Daytona, Bob Burman, on
his twenty-seventh birthday anniversary
to-day, reached the zenith speed when he
drove a 200-horscpower "Blllzen" Ben
a mile In 25.40, making the fifth time in
the two days' racing that he has broken
the mile record. The mile record was
not alone Burman's prey, but the kilo
meter was again shattered, and the two
mile record of Oldfleld, of B5.S7, wiped
Into oblivion. Burman's time for the two
miles was B1.28, and for the kilometer
15.83 seconds.
The first trial reduced the mile record
to 25 91 seconds, after which the speed
king started out to lower yesterday's
kilometer mark. This ho brought down
to 15.SS. The two-mile record was his
next ambition, and at the conclusion the
timing device registered 51.23. Burman
contended that he could clip more off
the mile, and went out for a final trial,
resulting in negotiating the distance in
25.40 seconds.
The beach was in much better condi
tion than yesterday,' although It was far
from perfect. The wind favored the
plucky driver slightly.
"I will be lucky," said Bob, as he
started for the first trial, "for this Is
my birthday."
Some wag facetiously remarked:
"lookout that It isn't your last one."

New York. April 23,-Jimmy McAleer
and his crew put in a Quiet time to-day.
Fifth avenue got a strong play In the
afternoon, the diamond warriors taking
in the society parade and looking over
the mansions along millionaire row.
Walter Johnson has been nominated to
work against the Yankees to-morrow In
stead of Dolly Gray. Manager Hal
Chase, of the homo team, says that Ray
Fisher, who Is also possessed of a speed
ball, will decorate the mound with his
presence for the New Yorkers. Looks
like another pitchers' battle.
Otey has been picked by McAleer to
twirl the opening game against Connie
Mack's Athletics In Philadelphia Tues
dpy. McAleer was highly impressed with the
showing the young southpaw displayed
ngalnst the Yankees in Washington after
he succeeded Dixie Walker, and looks for
him to pitch come high-class ball.
"The only thing Otey ever lacked was
control," said McAleer to-day, "and now
that he has overcome this fault, I expect
him to be one of the best portiide
fllngers In the American League this sea
son. He in beginning to field his posi

Schnlte Starts Trouble iritb. Third
Home Ran of Season.
St. Louis, April 23. Frank Schulte's
third home run of the season broke down
the defense of the Cardinals to?day and
gave the Cubs a run. The smash yielded
the run for which tho teams had been
fighting for three innings, and so shook
Golden that he became wild, and when
Schulte faced him again he issued a pass
to the premier long driver, and the
smasher of the Cubs sent two more runs
In. Then, in the eighth, the Cardinals
broke all to pieces, showed themselves
up before the big Sunday crowd, and the
Cubs won, 7 to 0, making a clean sweep
of the series.
Weaver pitched sensational ball for the

JOHN R. BROWN, AMATEUR
PIONEER, ACCEPTS OFFICE
Elected Vice President of
Will Have Formidable
By C. IV. SWAS.
J. R. Brown, who was the first presi
dent of the Marquette and Capital City
leagues, was elected vice president of
the new District League, at the meet
ing held yesterday morning at the
Aloysius Club.
Mr. Brown has been connected with
amateur baseball in the District since
1903, when he organized the Marquette
League. The year following he made
the present Capital City League pos
sible, and to this day the older patrons
of that circuit remember the hustling
president of the first season of the Dis
trict's fastest league.
When James A. O'Shea took hold of
the league, Mr. Brown dropped out, as
he did not have the time to spare from
his business, and It was only after six
weeks of earnest persuasion by the offi
cials of the new organization that Mr.
Brown decided to once more get into
harness and assist In the management of
the young circuit.
The addition of this able baseball offi
cial will do much to keep the league
in the best possible condition, as he is
a sticker for good, fast games and will
do the utmost to strengthen the weak
teams, should there be any In the Dis
trict League.
While the question of having a band
at the opening game was taken up, noth
ing definite was decided, although It Is
more than likely that a band will bo in
attendance at the season's first game.
Those at the meeting were President
S. E. Beach, Secretary Ormsby; M. E.
O'Connor, Aloysius; J, F. Waters, Adams
Express; R. C. Love and C. P. Johnson,
Columbia 101; J. G. Lultlch, Congres
sional; W. N. Handiboe nnd Dick Wood

You'll see some funny ones when you

the mournful baseball past, you will find
that Washington's Senators and Wash

a pace for Washington's Hopefuls to
beat.

NEWS PIEASES ATHLETES.
Cathedral School Field Will Hare
Good Effect on Sport.
When the athletic field which has been
planned for the National Cathedral
School for Boys is completed, it is sure
to be the scene of many more athletic
competitions than have 'formerly been
held at the grounds which are now used.
The decision of the trustees 'to" expend
the sum of $100,000 for the building of the
field will tend to Increase Interest in sport
at the school, and thereby benefit a great
er .portion of the students who formerly
did' not enter athletics.
The ground which has been purchased
was the property of Senator Nixon. The
athletic field which will be made will out
class the best owned by any school in
this vicinity.
Inclosed In the quarter-mile cinder track
will be the baseball and football field. A
clubhouse will be erected, containing all
conveniences for teams from out of town.
Work will be started on the plot In good
time, so that the football season will not
have arrived before Its completion.
