COOKING SCHOOLS

A popular movement has been started
In the city of Munich, extending to ev-

Bataria- The leading ladies of the land
formed a league known as the Itinerary

popular subscriptions At the present
time there are thirty itinerary cooking

Included in the array OF pretty spring
garments. are coat suits of almost every
description. There are long coats and
short jackets, getaways, and Elton
Jackets Some are deliberately braided
and otherwise ornamented and others

Rarely has such a pretty collection
Of net and lace waists been shown as

ing is superficial; better than nothing
at all, but still far below what it might
be. The trouble is that the clubs do
not think enough Of trailing TO pay

As a matter OF fact, a high-class
trainer should be of fully as much
value TO a club as a player, and HIS
salary should be- accordingly. The first

cal and practical knowledge of how TO

one is that in every other sport the
idea is to point the men for one par
tcular game, or at least for several, ex-
tending over comparatively short
space OF time, while in baseball ths
player must be kept in shape for FIVE
months.
The other is that ball players are not
as easily controlled in their habits In
training as most other athletes, and
this is in no small measure due to the
fact that the season extends over such
a length of time. For month or, six
weeks the average ball player would
take just as good care Of himself as
the average college athlete, but the
long grind is what tells.

Baseball Training
Methods Anticipated

Once more the season Of baseball talk
and politics has passed and the one for
action has arrived.
With the adjournment Of the annual
schedule meetings of the two maics
leagues in New York last week the of
season Of the national sport officially
came TO a close. and from this on the
player and the game itself viii tako
the place that properly belongs 20 them
some OF the teams have already made
a preliminary start IN training. while
practically all of the others will get
down to work before the end of the
present week.
Spring Work Valuable.
Spring training means much 20 a base
ball team, and the manager who success
fully solves this problem has big ad-
vantage over the one who fails. That
there is a great profit TO be gained from
a good start in the spring is self-evident
That is the time when other teams are
going below their normal speed, and a
nine that is going at top speed can win
its easiest games.
The moral effect a frst-divisiOn posi-
ton has on "a team is hard 10 est mate
too highly. Then there remains the
stubborn fact that games won n the
spring count for just as much as those
won later in the season in percentage,
as the Browns have discovered to their
sorrow IN the past two years Had
McAIeer's club started OF with a win
ming percentage early in the season IN
either 1906 or 1907 and maintained II
during the early part of the race. St
Louis would have had pennants instead
of only the pole from which TO fly one.
Out-of- Date Methods.
Different managers have different ideas
Of training teams. and practically every
club in the country has some peculiar
method From the more scientific view
of those who have spent their lives in
study OF the subject and who are &C
knoU-Iedged as authorities in the matter.
the training of baseball teams IS very
crude.
This is also true when baseball is
compared with other athletic sports,
where scientific training is carried to
it's highest. Baseball managers, on the
other hand. claim that the highly sci
enunc thOries are too fine TO b. Of prac-
teal use. and they give two reasons
for this.
