BASEBALL BRIEFS.

Connie Mack thinks his outfeld in 1910 will be Murphy, Goode and Heit- muller, with Joe Jackson and Topsy Hartse1 as second choice. Connie still thinks Jackson will develop into a star.
 Roger Bresnahan's most promising recruits are Second Baseman Magee of Seattle, Pitcher Geyer of Columbus and Second Baseman Bell of Spring field. Barbeau will have to fight it out with Mowrey for third base.
 Although the makeup of the Chicago White SoX for next season cannot be definitely announced, there are many who claim that with young players alone Manager Duffy can put into the field as fast an inner circle as can be found anywhere. With Gaudn at first base, Zeider at second, Blackburn at short and PurteH at third, such a vet eran critic and well known judge as Ted Sullivan says Chicago will have the fastest infield of the year.

JIMMY COLLINS TRAINING.
Manager of Providence Team Has a
 Tendency to Grow Fat.

Jimmy Collins, the former great third baseman and manager of the Providence club, is already training for the season of 1910. He is at Hot Springs, taking the anti obesity cure and working like a Trojan.
 James, after a few weeks rest each fall, accumulates the proportions of brownie. He outgrows his clothes, out grows his belts and becomes so fat that the legitimate theatrical managers try to sign him to play Falstaff
 James is having a valiant battle with himself He knows that any time he gets a sprained ankle and has to warm the bench for about 10 days he will gain anything from Is to 20 pounds.
 He intends to play next season and is now climbing the rocks and sloslling around in the anti-fat waters of Hot Springs. He's as bad as a prina don- na in attempting to retain her sylph- like proportions.
