practice grounds has been solved In the
majority of cases, and by the latter

coaches will know pretty well Just who
will ba on the team proper. Already
some of the candidates are boasting of
bruised shins and shoulders, 'although
only the lightest kind of practice hast
been indulged In so far. It has been!
prophesied that the high school cham
pionship would simmer down to Techni
cal and Central, but the Western High
School Is a contestant that must not
be overlooked. In respect to veterans
who will return, the Georgetown school
Is better fixed than any of Its opponents,
and in weight it also predominates.

ial at the Georgetown school to make
a winning eleven.

High School, leports the largest num

the positions to which he aspire, and
where necessary, shifts will be made.
For the time being. Coach Shea will
work his players out on the school lot

Get Up Petition for
Retention of Stovall
CLEVELAND, Sept. 12. Oscar Sal

Erie bowilng alleys, has started a pe
tition addressed tp President Somers,
of the Cleveland baseball club, asking
that George Stovall be retained as
manager of the Xaos for the season
of 1911. Within a short time he hr.d

that the consensus; of opinion among
the fans favored the retention of Stov

Vincent Dailey, captain of the
Georgetown football team, arrived

During the summer, from his home.
In Brockport, N. Y., Dailey has kept

out invitations to forty-five men. and
of tnese he has already received re
sponses from thirty promising to be
here not later than next Monday.
The work Friday and Saturday will
be of tho lightest .order, but at the
beginning of the week the captain
arid -Coach Xeilson the work will be
begun in earnest.
Harry Costello 'and several other
likely candidates are already hero and
Crptain Dailey believes that within
a week he will have at least half a
hundred men on the field.
On his way here Dailey stopped off
at Troy to have a talk with Bill Fitz
gerald in the hope of inducing the
star guard to return, and. while there
is still a chance, it is far from de
cided that Fitzgerald will be In the
line-up at tho first kick-off.
The hope of landing Carl Ostegren,
the star athelte from New England,
lias been practically abandoned. Os
tcgren had wanted to come here, but
there were some unexpected hitches,
and he my not come.
Dailey will have a conference with
Coach Neilsen tonight, when definite
plans for the practice will be out
lined. John Kennedy Quits

By CHARLES S. DOOIN,
Manager of the Philadelphia Nationals
Pitching and batting are the chief t
.essentials of baseball success. Team
work, inside play, speed, quick thinking
and harmony are other Important
things. In making an all-star team on"
paper, team work. Inside play and How
the men would hook up jf put on the
same club must naturally be eliminated."
Speed and brain work, however, may be4
estimated. Aggressiveness I also count
as a big asset to a team. This may
also bo estimated In picking a mythical
team. Brown Match for Matty.
In picking my pitchers I havo
matched Hugh Jennings' group accord
ing to their various methods of delivr
ery as closely as possible. Brown would
make a dandy foil for Mathewson.
Brown has beaten Mathewson mora
times than Matty has beaten the three
lingered marvel.
In batting and all-round ability be
hind the bat, Gibson, Thomas and
Archer are hard to excel.
The Infield which I have picked is if
harder hitting one than Jennings'.
Daubert should out-bat Chase. LajoU
ranks higher than Fddle Collins In tho
batting averages. Baker gets mora
base hits and mere long drives than
Harry Lord, and there would be lltt
to cnooso between Bush and Doolan,
except that the American leaguer hat
something on Doolan In batting. Hans
Wagner outshines Tinker In slugging,
put the latter has often proved his abil
ity as a man who can break up a game.
In fielding, barring first base, thero
would b; little or nothing to chop-19
between- the teams.
Jackson Nearly Ty's Equal.
Jennings has picked a wonderful out
field. He has selected not only great
batsmen, but also two men, Cobb and
Magee, who are the best men In thelc
respective leagues for drvlng In run?,
fhlll, there are others. Joe Jackson? of
Cleveland, comes near equaling Co6t.
Murphy Is fully as dangerous with thJ
stick as Crawford. As far Schulte and
Speaker, In my cpln'on, the former's
reputation as a home run king shouM
give him one preference. Both Mageo
and Clarke are grand hitters, and each
deserves to rank with be three men,
picked for the outfield for each team.
Cobb and Collins would give Jen
nings' team greater ahllltv on the base?,
but I think the men that I have se
lected would outpltch and outhlt the
players selected by the manager of the
Detroit team.
