coincidence Col. Carver, June and
Richard come to Colorado and
bring up at the tavern where Jim

PREVENTION that murder is averted.
There is a spectacular denoument
to the play in which Jim wins his
western sweetheart while the
greaser and Richard go to their
death. There is an abundance of
comedy in the play, with Amory,
Ralston and Foster in the leading
parts. Laura Adams also has a
considerable amount of comedy in
her part. George McQuarrie will
play the role of Jim Brandon, and
Miss Shirley will appear as Cher

and Frank McQuarrie as the greas-

the play, while Ethel Won Waldron

Spring TRADING
NA01E ~0SS

Then the manager calls all hands
to outline the work for the rest of
the trip. Unless some change in
the work Is made the men lose in
terest.
The veterans take it easy as a
usual thing for the first week, be-
, Ing content to get into condition
slowly to stand the hard work
later.
If man is overweight he will
rid himself of superfluous flesh by
various means. Some run around
the park each morning and after.
noon. Others chase flies until
they seem ready to drop from ex.
haustiOn.
One Of the best means to get
into shape is to field ground balls
1t not only loosens and toughens
the muscles, but gives the indi-
vidual fielding practice.
!! A stranger to this sort of train
ing will be surprised at the good
accomplished. 1t brings every mus.
| Gle into play and puts a man into
splendid condition in couple of
weeks.
AS diversion the manager
sends two teams, regulars and
colts, into games. The games are
holly contested, and it is at this
time new plays are practiced, for
use later. Sometimes a day is
spent In this manner.
Last spring one trainer intro
duced an association football into
camp. and the players found the d.
version beneficial. 1t produced gen.
erous perspiration and took the
stiffness out of sore bodies.
Usually three games week are
played by the big league club with
the organization from the town in
which they are training. This pro-
duces the team work so necessary.
The players have little time to
themselves off the field, and are
usually so tired when night comes
that they are willing to sit around
the hotel until bedtime.
AS rule ball players are irrita-
BILE. and this Is more apparent in
the spring than at any time. This
Is due to the fact that the winter,
spent in ease. leaves the body in
no shape to withstand the rigors
of hard training.
An important factor is the train
er. and the team possessing a good
handler finds the work much
easier. After Is minutes in the
hands of an expert rubber, a play
err whose arms and legs were so
lame they could scarcely be lifted
leaves the room feeling fine and
fit.

Special Correspondence to The Prsss
It will be but a short time be-
fore most major eague clubs start
on the annual training trips and
incidentally the arrival of the sea-
son of interest for ball players and
fans.
About the first thing players do
when they receive orders to re-
port at certain place. Is to dig
up paraphernalia. Shoes and gloves
are saturated in oil or vaseline to
soften the leather and prepare them
for the work in sight.
On reporting day the player
boards the train, and then, for two
Or three days is flying southwark
to training quarters. The first day
is spent getting settled, and the
next, IL the weather permits, wit
nesses the first practice.
Usually the first hour or two is
spent tossing the ball around, to
get limbered up. Then the man.
ager calls upon one of the twirlers,
usually a youngster, to toss up a
few slow ones.
Half an hours batting, and the
men assume their positions on the
field. Some one will hit to them.
and the practice witnessed before
every regular game last for half
an hour more.
At the conclusion of this work
the men hike back to the hotel.
This routine Is observed for the
first few days, or until arms and
legs become accustomed to the UNI
usual exercise.

MULTN0MAH.


Biff, biff, biff, and it was all over
with Ed Rushton, of the Multno-

gong rang Louis Orsie shot out of
his corner like streak, nailed
Rushton in his own corner before

fight and had him down and out
before the audience realized that
the mill had started. A right and
left and left uppercut accomplish.
ed the quickest knockout probably
ever recorded 1t extended over a
period of perhaps three seconds.
Rushton evidently expected to
shake hands again or indulge In a
preliminary sparring match, but be-
fore he got his ideas adjusted to
anything different he was packed
out of the ring dead to the world.
