TIGERS MAY BREAK THEIR CAMP SUNDAY

shirker or a malcontent among them.
Every mar in the bunch is fit for i'm
mediate performance, and has his heart
and soul in the service of his club.
On other occasions with other teams
this is how a scribe could comment II
he had the nerve:
Johnson is hog fat, wheezy, not a
chance to get in shape for the opening
game, maybe not for the whole cam
paign.
Smith is drunk most evenings, sulky,
and threatened to lick the manager and
all hands last night.
Robins's arm is utterly dead. He
cannot throw thirty feet and is as wild
as a hawk, even at that distance. The
management will dispose of him for a
big sum TO some manager who will ac-
cept a white elephant.
Malone is slow on his feet, and acts
like a mule pulling a load of brick He
is not the Malone of old and appears
a fit subject for the "old lady's home"
Larking's control is so good hat he
hits the top of the grandstand every
time he throws the drop ball, and his
splitter o e to the players bench just
as regularly. He threatens the writer,
who speaks the truth, n declares he
never was in better form.
! Schwartz has some ability, but is such
a fresh and sassy kid and so swell
headed that he ought to get the hook.
Levy is the worst boneheaded ball
player ever drafted from the bush
league. He cannot understand enough
to count four, but has to say three n
another me.
Several in the squad who really look
good have the others jealous and will
not get much of a chance to make good.
None of this applies. however, to the
training camp here. All the boys are
down to weight and in fine fettle and
their exhibition during the past week
has demonstrated it beyond a doubt
A narrowing story-"Extry! Extry.
Extra! Nine libes lost; horrible acct
denti" That was the cry of a little
darkey in front of the hotel Saturday
night.
Attracted by the cries and what
looked like a scare head on the front
page, "Cy'' Parkin dug down in his
jeens and pulled out a penny, shout
ing:
boy. Boy! Let me have one,"
"Cy' looked through the paper and
failed to see anything about nine lives
being lost. In reply the boy said:
Its on the second page; tells about
killing of a cat lost her whole nine
lives
Here boy. take this paper aud sell
it over again. Sting McGinnity, if you
can" said "Cy" with delight.
1t may sound strange, but it's true.
for Johnny Flater says so, and that's
sufficient. FYater was a scout for the
Philadelphia Athletics a few years ago.
when he was a member of Connie
Mack's pitching staff. One day Connie
gave Oyster Johnny $50 and told him to
go to Albany and look Dolly Gray over.
Dolly played for a short time with Jer-
sey City last year. Johnny was given
a week to do the stunt, and while he
did it in two days he took h full
weeks vacation and when he returned
he had SIS left.
How does he look?" Mack asked.
Pretty good to me- said Flater, here
is your change"
"Oh.. keep that; it's all right.
Johnny is now figuring that if he re-
ported ~unsavorably he would not be in
the SIS.
Bob Holmes is mixed in right WITH
the crowd and he reels off yarn after
yarn which keeps all interested. He is
chummy with Benny Meyers.
81 room with Benny, and | ought 10
know it, said Bob. He is worse than
the Jury in the other ROOM
Boys, he is just sore because when
he asked me what l raised on my farm
| told him umbrellas" said Benny.
The pair of former Giants then ex-
changed stories about when they were
with McGraw.
Gee, 1 remember when l used TO
walk on the diamond at the Polo
Grounds forty thousand fans would
rise and let up q cheer was Meyers'f
declaration.
What Forty-thousand fansg You
are talking the wild mans language
Benny said Holmes. Il just know
