Thua Altrock's Almosts will set two
games In a row against outside talent,
the Alexandria Cardinals having Ions
been scheduled for Saturday. March -3.
Manager Malone asked Griffith for
the dato of April 2. but as games are
scheduled In Richmond on the 1st and
3d. the intervening Sunday would not
be available for a game at Clarendon.
Griffith today accepted an Invitation

While no games, Intcrteam or other

Batting and fielding were Indulged in
on both fields by Griff's Alreadys and

were permitted to get under some

who watched tho practice. Every pitcher

It Is evident that there Is keen rivalry
for permanent assignments.
Griffith stated today that the bone of
contention that hns arisen between
Catcher Ehrman and the university does
not Interest him. Tho reports he has
had on Ehrman are not sufficiently good
to make him anxious to have him train
here, but wore rot this tho caso Urlti
wouldn't let Virginia's cry keep tho lad
from receiving a tryout. With Ghorltty
coming along nicely, Griff's receiving
ataff Is anything but weak.
Charlie King spent Sunday afternoon
measuring tho players for new uni
forms. The size of every ono was
taken, so no Insight as to who Griff ex

the Nationals will be tho same for the
homo games, but the traveling uniforms

They are badly needed In Wash
ington. Tax to Kill Racing.
Racing in Canada will be a dead
bird this season.
In Its effort to raise money, the
government plans to levy $1,2S0
dally on each principal race track
while It Is 8taging"mects. This will
hit Dufferln, Woodbine, and Hill
crest. In Toronto, and Hamilton,
Fort Erie, and Windsor. '
Hitherto the tax has been $500 a
day, netting the government $40,000
a, year. It Is expected to be raised
to $100,000.
The hitch in the government'
plans come, though, in tho probable
cutUng out of meets at most of
these tracks. Then, instead of get
ting $40,000 a year, not even that
amount will be obtained.
The ractnir associations say they
cannot afford to hold meetings that
are to be taxed so heavily. They are
planning to suspend all racing, at
least for IMS.
Theso are really war times across
the Northern border.
They Should Worry.
Pat Moron says he will start the
1916 campaign with tho same line
up that brought homo the baoon in
tho National Lcaguo last season.
