chill winds were on tap yesterday at
Athletic Park-that is. in the forenoon OF
it-and the PLAYERS were unable TO do
much practice to speak of. There was
not a sign of the sun for hours. Cantillon
had the men out as usual. but the work
was more in the way of sprinting exer-
cises than anything else. After lunch Old
Sol showed his smiling face once more,
and he met with very cordial reception.
The wind died died down. and it proved
very pleasant to work outdoors. All kinds
of tricks were gone through. except that

In preparing for the Cardinal games
Manager Cantillon will Friday allow the
Regulars and Colts to each take full

The Colts will have an hour to them
selves Saturday morning before the junior

The youngsters will take McCloskey's
kids for a ride on the bay front Sunday

Manager Cantillon was given happy
surprise last night after he had partaken
OF his supper and was smoking cigar in
front of the hotel. messenger boy came
up with telegram. and as Joe reached

marked Joe after he had sent off the
telegram.
