Going to Shreveport, Ala.
With the signing of Harry Lumley
as manager of the Brooklyn National
league club for the season of 1909, the
last of the doubtful managerial posi-
lions has been filed, and the various
major league club magnates are be-
ginning to look forward to the spring
journey to the southland of their vari-
Gus charges.
Just a short time now and the varf-
Gus clubs of the American and Ma
tional leagues will gather their bats,
gloves, uniforms and all the rest of
the toys that go with ball team and
begin the spring training that is con-
sidered by most managers to be SO
beneficial to the players in the long
fight for championships.
The 16 teams which comprise the
American and National leagues have
selected the various places in the
south where they will go through the
early season stunts of rounding into
shape.
The New York Nationals will again
make Marian Springs, Tex, their pre-
season headquarters, while the Yam
KEGS will hold their workouts at Ma
con, Ga.
TIE rest of the clubs will train as
follows: The Chicago Cubs at Shreve-
port, La; the Chicago White Sox in

at New Orleans, La; the Washing

arranged the spring practice dates.
| The Giants will follow practically the
same lines that they did last spring.
They will play exhibition games in
Fort Worth and Dallas on Saturdays

The Yankees, after ten days prac-
tice with the Colts, will go on the

Roger Bresnahan has decided to be-
lgin his active work as manager of the
st. Louis Cardinals by keeping that
team busy for fully 80 days prior to
the opening of the championship sea-
son. Then the trip northward will
be started and various steps will be
made to play exhibition games and in
Icidentally to acclimate the players.
The former Giant, who has broken
into the managerial game, has also
planned little innovation.
The ball park at Little Rock is sit
uated about a mile and half from
the hotel, and in the past it has been
the custom of ball teams stopping at
that place to run to and from The
llield None of this for Roger and his
clan The shin-guarded catcher has
announced that he will arrange to
have heated cars transport his ball
tossers. Bresnahan has decided that
|this is better way to keep his play
ers from catching cold.
