troit to call his players together and
to prepare for9 the. spring training
trip In the South, has announced that
the first training Of hts men will be
In football and not in baseball. He
will purchase a number Of association
footballs and will have his men kick
these about the field for q few days.
He claims that 1t is an excellent way
to Timber up the men and make them
fast on their feet and to improve their
wind.
Manager Connie Mack, of the Ath-
letics. Is continually adopting new
baseball ideas, and his latest. a sys-
tenn for training his men. looks very
good. The plan Is to send his regu-
lar players South and let them get
In shape as they see tit under the d.
rection of Captain Harry Davis. Mack
will look after the youngsters and
try them out by actual contests
against minor and major league clubs
In the South.
spring and found 1t satisfactory. So
much so that he has enlarged upon
1t this season. Last year he had his
veterans and youngsters together for
part of the time in the South. This
year, according to his present plans,
they will hardly see each other dur
Ing the training season. Often, as II
has been proven in the past. the
youngsters do wonderful work when
practicing with veterans. But in
many instances 1t has happened that
when the season opened and they en-
gagged in actual games they lost their
nerve completely and their managers
were Obliged to send them back to the
minors for more experience under
fire"
-- BY taking bfs recruits on trip
during which they will engage In ac-
tuai contests. Mack will be able to
get a good line on their ability. By
the time he returns to Philadelphia he
will know just which men he wants
10 keep. And the expenses of the
training trip will have been lessened
by the money received In the various
cities and towns in which the club
will play.
Manager Maek's plan Will undoubt-
edly he adopted by some of the other
clubs before long. Especially Is this
true since each club can now carry
but twenty-five players during the
heat of the pennant campaign. For
if youngster does not develop. the
expense Of auartering him at an ex-
pensive Southern hotel and paying
his railroad fare there and back fs
lost to the club. BY Mack's system
there is a substantial return to the
treasury, and he knows his men early
| in the season.
