and side bet. Smith is in good trim and
anxious to mix up with anybody.
The evening times., 1896-02-26

There is general belief that the coming
season will be a profitable one all over the
country, and as the weaker clubs last sea-
son will naturally be stronger this year, there
is reason to believe that the tail-enders will
not be far from the leaders at any stage OF
the game. This will increase the interest,
and the home r,oter will have plenty of op-
portunity to expand his lungs.
There have been number of deals,
trades and transfers, but the Senators will
remain the same. Messrs. Wagner and
Schmelz have been faithful to their promise
made last year that they would not weaken
the team by selling any of thepiayers. The
meeting passed off without even a word
being said about the sale or trade OF a
Senator. Perhaps this was not due to Wag-
ner's ultimatum of last season, and it
may be that no one wanted any OF the Sen
ators. but the chances are that they VIII
be doing as good work as the best in the
League.

A well-known member OF the Senators
writes to The Times in explanation OF the
methods he employs while waiting for the
season to open. Thisis what says. inpart:
There are many exercises one may in
dulge in, but the best results will not be
obta ined unless ones habits are good. i
take a turn at each of the following, and
find them very good. give about ten
minutes to Indian clubs, which are very
good for the wrists, arms and shoulders.
l next give about fifteen minutes to skip
ping the rope, which is very good for the
ankles and legs and for the wind. 1t also
makes one active on his feet. Next /
punch the bag for fifteen or twenty min
utes; after that play bandball or a game
which i have devised from the old Irish
game of handball. and has few drops
of tennis in it. find il is a very good
game, and when my chum, who is a
bookkeepcr, is not there, play it alone.
We use an ordinary rubber ball, which
costs ten cents. The livelier the bail the
better. The game seems simple, and SIM
pie it is, but often the most simple exer-
cises are the most fatiguing. Fifteen min
utes' practice at the game is all that is
necessary to convince one of its value to
an athlete. 1t is especially good for men
doing feats in n STOPPING position. Moth
ing is better for a ball-player, and when
