NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE.
American Association Teams Work
Out Like the Majors.

How narrow the line that now
divides the American association from
major leaguedom, as far as conduct Of
affairs is concerned. is being well
shown by the manner i'm which Char
lie Carr this spring Is handling his
Indianapolis squad. which has Just
closed a brief engagement in San An
tonic. Carr Is south with nearly as
many men as the average American
league squad. and Is under practically
the same expenses, with lesser chances
by force of circumstances of getting
back n considerable part of the mon

latter thing. one being the fact that
Cars training plans were changed so
late that all Of the desirable Texas

younger players and the veteran pitch

Forth Worth and Dallas provided for

will re-unite, and will then journey

some players whom it was decided 1t
would not be profitable to take south.
These latter include several pitchers,
