The cool wind of 4nonday Rand Tuesday had disappeared and the weather was fine tor tne ball lossers. Manager Griffith called for Ie. per and pepper was forthcoming. Aue days work was comprehensive lnclud- ling work for the pitchers, a dlili in d batting tactics, fast fielding and prac- ' tice in getting away from the plaIe I quickly. Much attention was paid in the morning to team work at the bat, the proper course to pursue to advance q base runner being tried in it's various ramifications. Griffith kept close watch on everything that was going on. Putnam, Hughes and Powell took turns in the box, and Mcclure anl Beville showed what they could do in throwing to bases. Both are lining the ball down in good style.
 My pitchers are in pretty good shape, as it is,' said Griffith, "and l want to have them fit to make q fast #start when the championship season 2begins.'
 In the afternoon Hughes, Bliss and %Powell gave the batIers and them selves good practice.

ANoTHER TERRIBLE MGovERN

Sam Harris, manager of Terry Me Govern. believes he has the making Of another cha npion unuer hls WIng. Ina newcomer is Terry's brother, Hugh, who has been fgating with considera- ble success ,aroand New York for about a year. Harris has been figur- ing that Hugh would look well as the bantamweight champion, but wanted to be cer. .ain first that he would be able to capture the title now held by the formidable little Frankie Neil of Frisco. Accordingly, Harris arranged q match between the yo >ngster an1 Tommy Love, Philadelphia lad, in whom is concentrated m~re fight D er inch than there is gunpowder in 5, fire cracker. Harris had a rlngside sel at this trial. It was one of those slam-bang up-to-the-nozzle six-round affairs. When 1t was over Harr.s, was a happy man. McGovern did not put Love out. but he proved himself mas ter beyond. all question. 'That settles it." declared Harris yesterday. There is another champion in the McGovern family Hugh McGoyern challenges Neil for the bantamweight champion ship, and I'm ready to make a substan. tia1 side bet on the result. That kid is as great a fighter as his brother ever was and some day will be able to whip them all.' Sam Harris contem- plates taking trip west with Jeffries and his party for recreation, and Wh,le in California will do his utmost to con summate a match between hfS~Iatest protege and Neil.

President Pulliam of the National
 League attended practice in the Fig.
 CTS baseball cage yesterday. MT. Pull liam came to Princeton on no special business, but only through friendly interest ill learning what kind of a team the Orange ard Black was go- ing to have this spring. From the pleased expses ion on his face and the mods of approval as each
 man took his practice, Mir Pulliam
 seemed to be very much satisfied with what he saw and went away with the belief that the Tigers would
 have very strong nine this year. Dave Fultz says that Mike Lynch ! Of the Brown University team, is the best college pitcher on the slab.
 He is a better man than Clarkson, of Harvard, declares Fultz Jimmy Collins, manager and field l captain of the worlds champions has
 arranged his batting order.' The Bos- tons will go to the plate this way: Dougherty, Collins. Stahl, Freeman, Parent. LaChance. Ferris. the catcher
 and pitcher.
 Last year, says Collins i've won
 with this batting order and I'm going
 to let well enough alone. Wen win it again this year.
 Manager Selee. of the Chicagos, says "Pittsburg is not the team to fear this season. Dryfuss hasn't the pitchers" Cincinnati is the team Selee expects to show great i'm
 provement. New York also looks 1 strong to him. His own two-year-
