charges. Less than two months now re-
main before the clubs Of the American and

gloves, uniforms and all the rest OF the

gers Of the various teams have arranged
the spring practice dates. The Giants will

did last spring. They viii play exhibit

OF all the major league teams the Cubs
will probably face the most strenuous pre-
season schedule. Starting March Il, their
play will be almost continuous until April

Roger Bresnahan has decided to begin
his active work as manager of the st.
Louis Cardinals by keeping that team busy
for fully thirty days prior to the opening
Of the championship season. Then the trip
northward will be started and various
stops will be made to play exhibition
games and incidentally to acclimate the
players. The former Giant, who has
broken into the managerial game, has also
planned a little innovation. The ball park
at Little Rock is situated about a mile
and a half from the hotel and in the past
IL has been the custom of ball teams
stopping at that place to run to and from
the field. None Of this for Roger and his
clan. The shin-guarded catcher has an
announced that he will arrange to have
heated cars transport his ball tossers.
Bresnshan has decided that this is a better
way to keep his players from catching
cold.
The following il the spring schedule OF
the Boston Red Sox:
March 20 and y, at Memphis, Tenn.
March q and %. at Little Rock. Ark.
April I and :, at Nashville. Tenn; April
3 and Il, at Cincinnati. o.; April 6. at
indianapolis, Ind. April I, at Dayton. o.
April 8 and g., at Columbus, o.; April Il
and II, at Wheeling, w. Va; April II and
IL. at Baltimore, Md.
President Shettsline of the Philadelphia
National League Base Ball club announces
that his team will do their spring train
ing at Southern Pines, n. c. Manager
Murray. who has been south for the pur-
pose OF selecting a suitable training ground,
states that Southern Pines is an idea
place. The town boasts of a we'll equipped
base ball park and a climate that is said
to be unequalled in that section OF the
country. The men will have TO occupy
their minds solely with base ball. as the
only other amusement is golf. 1t Is eN-
pected that the Quakers will start south
after the first week in March, remaining
