forenoon taking surf baths, the finest kind
of things, athletes tell him, for harden
ing purposes. Having tried them twice al
ready, the players are dead willing to go
the limit on the surf-trainfng proposition.
Cantillon is more than pleased with Gal
weston as the training spot, for everything
has come up to expectations. The ground
is tip-top in it's way and convenient to
town, the gymnasium Is all that could be
desired, and even the hotel is satisfac-
tory. Base ball enthusiasm is rampant,
too, and the outlook is good for excellent
gate receipts,
Hot Series With the Cardinals.
Besides tire game tomorrow, the Nationals
and Sand Crabs lock horns next Thursday,
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and on Sat
urday and, Sunday. March o and "a, the
warm series with Napoleon McCloskey' 8
Cardinals will be pulled off.
There has always been intense rivalry in
business and sport between Galveston and
Houston, as they are only fifty miles apart,
so that when McCloskey's men play here
big delegation from Houston will accom-
pany them and when the Nationals go to
Houston there will be hordes' of Calves
tonians in their wake. San Antonio, Deni-
son, Corsicana and Sherman have written
to Cantillon for dates when the team starts
homeward, but the schedule nOrthward is
already fixed, and good offers have had to
be turned down with much regret.
No more has been heard from Clark
Griffith on the Stahl proposition and none
Is expected as far as CantillOn is con-
cerned. If ex-Manager Jake wants to rest
all summer that's his own business. Can
tillon believes he has man that Will re-
place him in Blankenship. He knows big
Cliff and believes that the backstop can mt
in well at first and allow Warner and
Heydon to divide the backstopping between
them. He believes, too, that he is going
to have hard job between Perrine and
Altizer for the short field job, and he is
inclined to be very sweet on the young
pitchers. He is not considering the elder
brethren at all. They are able to take
care of themselves, and l know what they
can do, anyhow" he says.
Arrival Of Altizer.
Dave Altizer got in this forenoon after a
long ride from Ontario, Canada, just in
time to hike out with the boys to the park,
| and he worked as hard as any Of the rest
of them. He did not seem the least weary.
| but he went to bed with the chickens to-
night. Heydon had not arrived from Hot
| Springs up to the last train tonight, but
! IL he does In the morning he will be stuck
| behind the platter for a few innings. In
stead of getting in from Houston as re-
| ported, Goodwin finished out the week at
| his winter labor In order to draw full pay
and will be down on the breakfast train In
the morning. Warner and Anderson are
! likely to drop in any day, but Charley
| Jones is still silent as to his future in
| tentions.
Tonight the players are box guests Of the
grand opera management and are witness
| ing 1.-THE Mummy and the Humming Bird. -
| The local fanatics are planning all kinds OF
| entertainments for the Nationals during
| their stay. but Cantillon has put a veto on
| everything Of that shape until the boys are
| tuned up to stand 1t, and then there will
| be very little of 1t.
| The local papers are giving yards OF
space to the Nationals and their doings
and the Tribune this afternoon had q
column editorial complimentary to the visi.
tors and Galveston as training point.
