That 1 none too rich a reward for a man who has done time in Cincinnati three years, a that. His contract with Washington is for throe years, and vests him with power to purchase, trade, train, and handle the Players In general. In fact, it gives him carte blank in the management of the team, which' Is a most wise thing do with a man who has played ball and run ball clubs as lonir as Clark Griffith's efforts to land pennants, no one who knows him will question his saga city or base ball ability. He Is as smart and keen a man as ever went on a ball field and his work In Chicago, New York, and even Cincinnati have proved his quality. Jf Griffith can make a winning team out of Washington, it will gratify the base ball world, and he certainly will find some excellent material on nana, it is said that Washington most needs, that what Its younger men need, is educa- m . in tne iiner points or me came. WWI. that should bo easv for the fox. find In Herman Bchaefer, Milan, McRride, Street and a fow others, he certainly has some good lieutenants. With Griffith planted in Washington, Harry Davis In Cleveland ( and McAlcer in Boston, the managerial question is rapidly adjusting Itself. The Browns at St. Louis and Cincinnati are still unsupplied, and It is barely possible that Detroit may find It necessary to make a, change, for Jennings appears to be flirting tor an other job. St. Louis would like to gut Mm for the Drowns' and no doubt, the Tiger leader would go there under fav orable conditions. He certainly is not to be blamed for wanting another berth, for Detroit fans are falling down on their support of the splendid team he lias given them. It would be a great thing for Bt. Louis and the American league to get a live wire and a . live team in Bportman's park. It Is too grand a, ball town for a tullender.

MK'retry C Iiuhu Went Against the Tigers Yesterday The Sporting News regards the "game's worst evil" as the violation of the salary limit by minor league magnates. That may be an evil, but we think It is quite trVHRl beside the draft law, which favors fit malors at the expense, not only of the minors, but of base ball, itself. Ana some aay tnia evil must era erauiuaieu. We are k ad to. note that the lending minor leaEuos. an ot mo iiass ai, in fact, are taking this view of the question. If the Western, I'aciflo Coast. Southern and Eastern leagues would get together and make a determined firht for their rights along this line, they could .accom plish something, but, of course, if they simply protest and do nothing more they will have to go along suffering from the abuse. It appears, however, that they . repose taking action at their meeting In bin Antonio. Manager WcGraw gives out that he will devote much of the spring training season to experimenting with candi dates far first base, shortstop, third base, the outfield and the box. He ex pects Mathewson and Marquard to con tinue as the pitching stars; the paSBln of Amea and Wiltio is predicted; Mer- kle may go, at least, to the bench l'f Paulet makes good, and Fletcher, Pnod grass and Hersog must hustle. Though he has developed a lot since the day ha tailed to touch eeond, Merkle never had been .' regarded as real Giant timber. This general shake-up, or the need of tt.

Having wun the first three games of the llllt schedule, the St. Thomai! college team has settled down to a long Krind of iiurd work in prepara tion for the coming game with Crelghton "U" the lunt of November. Nearly 6,000 people turned out to see St. Thomas play Msicalester. the taints' proverbial enemy in athletics. Tbe game was made ths crowning event of a day replete wltn military pomp and ceremony for at that time the magnificent new St. Thomas athletic field was dedicated. The 17 to 0 victory fur the Saints Has a fitting am! most auHplolous opening for the field which, with the posslblo exception' of the stadium at the I'nlverslty of Minnesota Is the flneat in the northwest. The field Is 700 feet long and IteS feet wide, surrounded by a tnaxslve concrete wall eight and one half feet high. Apart from the main gridiron there is ample room for two more gridirons for the Junior teams, aa well as two tennis courts, a track, base bull diamonds and a large grand stand with a seating capacity of 1,910. At each eud of the grand stand Is room fur enlargement. tiff Brhrdnle Abend. However well they may have .faied so far, there Is still a very stiff schedule facing the Saints, a they have yet to play St. Joseph's of Dubuque, Plllsbury academy of Owatunna, the Minnesota Athletic club and Crelghton. Of these games the most Important from the Saints' viewpoint is ths gam at Omaha. This will be the second time the teams have met on the gridiron, and the game which was played last season was one which, will long be remembered by both team. They tiugled for supremacy on equal fnn till a droiklck by the Balms' star iuartcrlc k. Dr is, turned had of three, points which Crelghton was unable tn overcome. It was by far the best gam witnessed at St. Thomas for many a day and a second meeting ct the teams will be most desirable from every viewpoint. "Hob" Suxton, the ex-Dartmouth star, who coached the Saints so successfully for the past two years ha been forced to sever connections with the school be cause of business, but he hss an able successor In Jack Ryan, ths versatile player whit captained Dartmouth last year, and who ha been elected to coach all the athletic teams representing St. Thomas. The St. Thomas eleven has lost by graduation several of Its star players Who covered themselves with glory last year, but there are new men out for their places who are making a nam for themselves. The Kldredge twins at ends, Carr at tackle, and Drels, Hllgnr. and McQuillan In the hackflold, are the men whose Ions will be foil most keenly by the Saints. Their hard and consistent playing was a larK factor In the team's success during lsst season, . ' New Men l.ook Promising;. So far this year Doyle has been play ing left end In a very satisfactory man ner. Ho Is swift In getting down un der punts, a rure tackier, and has suc ceeded in breaking up most of the plays which have hoen sent against him. Car ml, who played such an excellent game at guard lint season, Is now playing lift tackle. 11 Is a hard charging linesman, smashing up Interference In good style, and bids fair to become one of the best tackles tn the state during If 1 1. Vasseau hue been given Carrol's former place at left guard, and is pluylng a good steady game. In addition he lias an excellent kicking foot, and has won two games So i far this year by his dropklcklng. He punts fifty to lxty yards consistently, and Ills long spirals, which are bard for the opposing backs to handle, have been material aid lo the team. Daggett, who played center till he was Injured last fall, Is again holding down the pivotal position In good style. At right guard "Bud" Anderson, the big veteran. Is playing his usual steady game, and so far but very few gains have been made -through' his territory. Meyers, who formerly played with St. Joseph's college of Dubuijue. Is stationed at right tackle and ha given an excel lent uccount of himself In the games played this season. Captuln Oilman, who for two years played a great game at right hulfback, la holding down the right end ponltlon and Is showing good form. GIlmar.'K speed Ii a great asset of th team's offense. He I a ten second mun and this, fact, coupled with his experience Is making him an excellent end. In the hack field Sterner, who lilayed with South High of Minneapolis for sev eral years, has been placed at quarter- buck and has shown himself to be a good field general. "Buddy" Dangherty, the speedy little left halfback, has been re sponsible for a great deal of the Saints' ground gaining. He Is a fine defensive player In addition, a sure tsukler as well us a line plunger. Coffey Is playiutf right halfback In excellent style. Ills passing of the ball and handling of kicks haw stamped him as h player of the first tank and his ability to plow through tho line for substantial gains has mude hlin very valuable to th team. On Mor Johnson, Johnson, the South Dakota boy, has been tha find of the season and is rapidly making good at fullback. He Is a strong player offensively, as well as defensively, and has shown great form In running back kicks through a broken field. Johnson Is the kind of player who puts fight and ginger Into a team and as such is doubly valuable. Glbbs, right end; Kckett and Wickham. linesman, and Culllgan in the backtleld are the reserves who will In all prob ability make ths trip. Glbbs 1 a fleet little man and a good tackier, while Cul llgan Is also a player of varsity caliber. Eckerl and Wickham are playing very well In their respective positions. Coach Kyan has succeeded In building up a good team, and will spend th re maining tlm In acquiring that machine Ilk precision, which la so essential to new foot ball. The team Is going to Omaha imbued with the do-or-dle spirit, and will certainly fight to the last ditch. They may luse. but If they do It will he to a better team, iid in the true St. Thomas' spirit will give all credit to the victor, and will be pround to have played against ruch worthy opponents.
