"He looks to me as if he 'wril be a pitcher who will be very strong in the beginning of the season, and I hope that I am right, for if there Is any one thing that I need Is a good spring starter.

The Volunteers are In fine shape, says Coach Moffett, and are going to give the' Nationals a run for their money.

The little tilt that arose In Atlanta over the Georgia Tech-Red game has embittered the big leaguers against college baseball in general, and they will do all they can to completely swamp the Orangs and Whit lads this afternoon. Georgia Tech raised an awful howl over the score of the game. The scribes In attendance made the final tally eight to one In favor of the leaguers and) the Techites claim that It was, only six to one. Glancing over the line-up of the major Reds, the first six are claimed to be the fastest men in the game.

Two years ago he was one of the strongest pitchers on the team and now that his health is thoroughly restored I think' you will find that he can beat anybody when the fight begins to be hottest. "With Ames, Mathewson and Raymond doing well, pretty much all of the time, I have three right handers whom I can depend upon. At no time last year were we so well off." McGraw received word from Chicago yesterday that Weimer had mailed a check to Cincinnati for $150 the amount of the fine which was assessed against him by the national commission. That makes Weimer eligible to play this season with the Giants and he has informed McGraw that the terms of his contract are satisfactory, and that he will leave Chicago at once to join the New York team in Texas.
