HADDOCKS, Ga, March 1S.-Not to
be outdone by any of the other ball
teams in training In Daxie, the STALL
ings squad celebrated st. Patrick's Day.
and the two leading SONS of the could
Sod Mullen and McMamls, were in
charge of affairs here. and everything
was done in good old Irish style. In
the first place, everybody had to wear
green. That was the ultimatum sent
out by Mullen, who is assistant COM
mander-in-chief of doings ~hereabouts.
He dispatched MeManus to delive it,
With the announcement went word
that everybody had to be Irish for the
day.
MaeMueller, O'Wilhelm and Frillsky
were always Irish, they said, and
Pardee admitted that he was a tad"
when the others were. Krichell and
Stallings would not be anything else
but Irish on st. Patrick's Day.
Corned beef and cabbage was Null
lens order for the bunch at dinner, ard
Irish baseball was the sport of the day.
Everybody was pulling for Roche to
win the fight, but when the neWs
reached here that Burns had Won in a
punch Mullen insisted that If Ne did
not nave the name Burns he never
would have had a look-in.
Manager Stallings gave the boys one
of those rare old workouts of his under
the hot SUM-. 1t was warmer here than
it would be in Newark in June. The
sun and exercise did much to get Par
dee and Mueller way down to weight.
While the practise is a little more ex-
tended than the boys expected for SO
early, great care is exercised by Man
ager S~tallings to keep the players out
of the Charley Horse league. When
Mueller heard that Wilhelm had a new
ball up his sleeve to hand out asA soon
as given orders, he got a little green in
his eye. He called Manager S~tallings
aside and told him that he watched
Wilhelm in back of the barn practising
it with Krichell, and that he had a few
sand lot curves that win make Wilhelm
wish he was back in the Postoffice
League again.
Despite cautioning by Manager Stall
linss Mueller insisted on cutting loose
a few benders. McManus had the biz
init and received the curves. THAT
boy will do" Mac told Stallings after
he caught a few.
Mullen is rapidly rounding in shape,
He is as fast as ever on his feet, and
yesterday made some of the most diff
cult stops. No one was more elated
over Mullen's work than Manager
%Stal!ings. He smiled broadly when he
saw the second sacker get after balls
that went at him with automobile
speed. So anxious was Mullen to get
everything his way Yesterday that fol
a time he fought the ball. Ee over
game this later in the day.
Frill, tho slight southside Singer, Is
taking it EASY. The recruit who fin
ished the season with Burnhan's bunch
last year is nursing his arm. He is
down to weight, and says he can speed
them up as soon as he is given orders.
With characteristic caution. Pardee is
taking 1T Easy The veteran is o quite
so anxious to burn up things as are the
young recruits.
Manager Stallings is pleased at the
showing of the men. He is still sweet
on McManus and l would not be sur
prised # Stanaae and McManus wera
the two catchers. with young Krichell
to fill. / have never seen McManus look
any better, and if Stallings has a chance
to get him, Newark will be strong in
the back field.
FROM the Training Camp.
