TEAMS TO GO SOUTH.
Washington Only One That Does Not
Take Spring Trip.

Out of the sixteen big league teams, all
but one will train in the south this spring,
the single exception being the Washington
club, which does not need to go south, as
the climate is always warm enough at
Washington in the spring. Texas seems to
be the favorite state among the managers,
no less than five having selected the lone
star state as the proper place in which to do
their training stunts. Tire five are Cleve-
land, which will train at San Antonio; Gin
cinnati at Dallas; White Sox at Marlin
Springs; Browns at Corsicana, and the Car
dinals at some Texan town not yet decided.
Georgia ranks next to Texas in regard to
popularity, four teams having decided to
train there. Boston Nationals at Thomas
Vile, Phillies at Savannah. Boston cham
pions at Macon and New York Highlanders
at Augusta. South Carolina draws two, the
Athletics and Brooklyns.
Three teams will do part of their training
at New Orleans, but all three will take their
earliest work at some other town. The en-
tire list of training camps Is as follows:

NEW YoRKs SUED.
Norfolk Clubs Wants $4,000 for
MathewSon

The Norfolk, Va, base ball club has sued
the New York team for $1,000, declaring
that Pitcher Mathewson was taken from
them without the conditions of transfer be-
ing carried out. The facts of the case, as
cited in the bill of complaint are as follows:
Pitcher Mathewson was under contract to
the Norfolk club in 1899 and 1900 This club
was member of the Virginia State League
and this league was a party to the national
agreement.
In July. 1900, the Norfolk club realized
that Mathewson was too good for a minor
league, and made an agreement with the
New York club under which they released
him to the New York club with the under
standing that Mathewson was to play the
remainder of the season with the Giants,
but his salary was toabe paid by the Norfolk
club. sb&5iq'
If at the end of tiA season Mathewson' s
work had proved such that the New York
club wanted to keep him on for the next
year, then the New York club was to pay
the Norfolk club $1,000 for his release.
Mathewson was such a success that the
New York club did want to retain his serv-
ices for the following year. 1t is claimed
by the plaintiffs to the action that the New
York club therefore notified the Norfolk
club that 1T did not want the famous pitch
er. and the very neattday the Cincinnati
club drafted him and seat "a check for 500
to the Norfolk club The day after this, the
complainant states the Cincinnati club
traded Mathewson to the New York club.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Lorillard Won Purse, but Lost the
Winner.

For the first time in the history Of racing
over the New Orleans track the famous COL
ors cherry and black" which were so
often borne to victory on two continents
by the thoroughbreds owned by the late
Pierre Lorillard, flashed in front yesterday
afaternoon; when his sons filly Logistela
won the third event. 1t proved a costly
purse to her owner, as the winner was bid
up after the race and bought by Sam Hill
dreth.
1t was only selling race that Logis-
tela won, but 1t served the purpose to land
a few big bets for select delegation or
eastern hersemen. With eight two-ye -olds
in the field, speeala ton was brisk between
Miss Galore and Truf1e Hunter. AS both fl
lies were held at to and We're backed

abled her to secure the decision. Trufne
