ONLY ONE INTER-CITY
 GAME THIS SPRING

There will be only one intercity series this spring. As usual PhiladeI- Clubs will clash. Five games will be played. the set of tusseis starting on Monday, April 5. The two St. Louis clubs won't meet, because M. Stanley Robison, president of the Cardinals, has come to the conclusion that his managers previously paid too much at tention to developing a team that would be able to make a good showing against the Browns. instead of drilling the men for the National League pen nant chase. Robert Lee Hedges. of the Mound City Americans. has been how ling because Robison called the spring series off. as these games were pro- ductive of much revenue. Whenever a magnate gets hit in his pocketbook he Is sure 10 make many torrid re- marks
 The Cincinnati team will play ex- hibition games with the Chicago White Tigers. There will be no other inter- league tussles.
 The Cleveland Maps will be one of the last teams to start for the North. Manager Larry Lajoie is working out a new scheme of spring training. The great batsman has the idea that play CTS lose much of the good effects of their training trip if they have to put cities or loaf around the hotels. pro- vided rain is encountered. and so the Forest City athletes wont beat 1t for the North untn the last minute. The Maps went direct from Cleveland to Mobile. and this week will move on 10 New Orleans where they will remain until two days prior to the opening of the campaign.
 Much money has been spent in Dixie land in conditioning the players of the major league teams. The club owners will get the sum they have spent back from the receipts of the championship events but they won't pick up this coin through playing exhibition con
 Probably the only major league clut which vii make any money on It's spring jaunt will be Charley Gonna key's Chicagos. The Sox are gres, favorites on the Pacific Coast, and their games are always largely attend ed. Comiskey, however. does not rely entirely on his team being popular h making up his spring schedule.

MAY LAND A NEW PITCHER Files of Athletics in
 Sight. HE IS \ COLLEGE STAR Connie Mack May Send Him Here
 from Nashville. Tn His Work Against the Climbers Tuesday Files Made Best Showing of any Pitcher
 Seen.

Just before Connie Mack and his bunch left for Birmingham yesterday morning he virtually agreed to trade by which Files. young pitcher that worked five innings in Tuesdays game may come to Montgomery.
 Files fs a college pitcher that last year made . great showing against the Elfs and other big college teams which were easy for him. He was so good that Connie Mack took him on this spring. His work Tuesday was as good as any pitcher seen In the spring. The only semblance of a hit during his five innings was George whiteman's drive. just to the right of Barr and right over the bag. Ills con trol was perfect and during the five innings the only base on balls that ne gave was when Whiteman worked him in the fourth inning, while he struck out Rockenf1eld in the second, Pope In the third and Shannon in the fifth.
 Files handles himself we'll on the hill, uses good speed when he wants 1t, nice breaking curves and nasty drop that with a change of pace keeps him out of trouble all through the bat tle He will fit in nicely with the Climbers. especially as Thomas and Juul will not be hers till after the opening of the season. While no defin- ite agreement was reached yesterday morning, the understanding is that the youngster will be turned over to Grem- finger Saturday. when the Philadelphia crowd leaves Nashville.
