Gossip of the Players

The mean. cloudy weather of yes terday morning had a depressing ef- feet on the ball players, as well as the little knot of fans who went out to watch the morning practice It was not a good morning for any kind Of hard work and Manager Malarky would not run the risk of running up a bunch of sore arms. Occasionally there were timid little giints of sun shine-just as kinetescope flashes something tangible for a brief second, just long enough to make one aware of what would have been there If the flashlight had tarried longer.
 The boys are fast getting the stiff ness and soreness out of their joints, and in a few days should be pretty fit. Bert Maxwell especially Is, getting into good shape. He looks lots stronger than he did when he left for Pittsburg last September His arm has been sore for the last few days, but yester- day he was shooting 'em over in great shape, and says that he is feeling bet Ger than he has in months.
 Burnum also looks especially good this year. Not much can be told from practice work, but 1t looks as if his cd and if he can stay in that form, Malarky will have good man in hlm this year.
 The fans are all anxious to see Wal ker. So many things have been said of ',he Florida southpay' that his coming Is looked for with interest
 Lee Walsh of couse Is well known 10 local fandom and reports say that the flaxen haired Texan is in even better shape this year than last.
 From Auburn comes a story that Sam Weems Is working splendidly and a local fan who was up there last week says he is better than he has ever been
 Speaking of Auburn, Malarky said yesterday he was not so sure ot the exhibition game with the college lads

Concerning The
 LnfeLd Fly Rule

Concerning the infield fly rule, about which there was so much discussion in Montgomery last summer, an exchange says:
 Spalding's base ball guide which is productive of so much discussion and misunderstanding as the one governing the infield fly and the occasions when it's injection into the game automatic ally retires the batsman whether the bill is handled cleanly or not. Here is the rule:
 Nule 51--The batsman is out
 Section s. If, before two hands are out, while first and second, or first, he hit fly ball, other than line drive, that can be handled by an infielder. In such case the umpire shall as soon as the ball be hit, declare it an infield or outfield hit
 A little reasoning will be convincing of the logic that led to the introduction of the rule. Were it not for the provis ion declaring base runner out in the above circumstances. it would be with in the power of an infield to turn a double play at will off the described situation. The men on first and second, or first, second or third, will naturally hug their bases when the short fly goes up. This would place them at the mercy of the infielder, who might easily trap or huff the ball. which would call for a force play at two or possibly three bases and with ample time to make it.
 with the first base only occupied, the fly must be caught, as trapping. provided the batter runs out his bal looner, only makes possible play at second base with the batter safe at first. The same prevails when first and third bases are occupied.
 "Of course, with two out, the infield 1 fly must be caught, as but one more | put-ou is possible in the inning. The umpire Is supposed to announce 1 infield fly both to put the runners wise | and to prevent an outfielder from com | might often be done An inheld fly is | not necessarily one handled by an in- fielder It is merely one which an | inhelder is potentially able to handle.

FOraksr Is Trying To Explain Presence Of Shells.

EOraIxer Ia Trying To Explain Presence
 Of shells.
 washington, March 1S.--When the 26th Infantry was transferred rom Brownsville to make room Tor the ne gro soldiers of the 18th Infantry, the white soldiers left behind many suits of cast off khaki uniforms and shells, cartridges and bandoliers lying about loose In store houses and barracks.
 This important testimony was given today before the Senate committee on military affairs by Rowland Osborne, the white post quartermaster sergeant at Fort Brown during the occupation of the fort by both the z6th and 25th Infantry. Osborne has previously been on the stand but he had not been asked concerning the possibility of sol diers getting extra cartridges and Tor citizens getting ammunition or soldiers clothes.
 Osborne said today that he remained at the post checking up the post prop erty such as furniture and other articles which were part of the per manent equipment
 He said he had nothing to do with clothing or ammuni.io that was sup posed to be looked after by the regi- mental quartermaster He did nothing concerning the loose ammunition and clothing, he said, except to take forty rounds of Krag-Jorgenseh cartridges which he still has at Fort Sam Hous- ton, Texas.
 His recollection was thar all of the ammunition which he saw at Fort Brown after the departure of the 26th Infantry were Krag-Jorgensen ammu- milton, but he would not state posi- lively that there were no Springfield cartridges left behind. The clothing was found principally in the barracks and he thought there must have been about ten suits of khaki left by each of the three companies.
 He could not say whether this prop erty had been later picked up and turned back to the government, wheth- CT it had been taken by citizens or was stin there. when the 25th infantry ar rived On cross examination the wit ness said it was a very simple matter for soldiers to get extra ammunition as when they were on the range for practice or target shooting other than competition shooting, close check was not made of the actual number of shots fired by soldiers. The soldiers were expAeted to turn back the shells not

Minor Bali Leagues.


 The growth of the minor baseball leagues during the last ten years mas been remarkable, says an exchange. Organized under the name of the Na- tional Association of Professional Base- ball Leagues, they have come to be re- garded as a powerful factor in the gov ernment of the game There are thir- ty-two leagues and 219 clubs in the organization. controlling nearly 4,500 players. Patrick T. Powers, of New York city, man of large baseball ex- perience, is president of this big as- sociation, and to him belongs much of the credit for its phenomenal success. The National Board of Arbitration, which decides al disputes among mem bers of the association, Is composed of Euoene F. Bert, of San Francisco; T H. Murnane, of Boston, Mass; ". NJ. Kayanaugh, of Little Rock, Ark; J H. oRourke, of Bridgeport, Conn; M. H. Sexton. of Rock Island, III; D. NJ. Shively, of Kansas City, Mo, and J. H. Farrell, of Auburn, N Y, secretary.
 The minor leagues have always been feeders for the major leagues. They have developed many famous players, and they have also been the last ref uge for stars that have seen their best day. In a word, ball player begins and ends his career in the minors. with the big circuits always a temporary lease on real life for him. Last year the American and the National Leagues drafted in all sixty-five players from the national association clubs.
