The New York Yankees viii leave for

there will be some great hustling to beat

Manager Jimmy McAleer. OF the Ma
tionals. outlined briefly his plans for
spring training OF the PLAYERS who will
be under his wing at Norfolk next week
Il shall use my judgment" said the
veteran. Some OF the men need a
whole lot OF work In order 70 get them
selves into shape. while others round into
form in very few days. Take George
Mcbride for instance. He never takes
on extra weight during the off season,
and usually manages to keep in condi-
ton. I wouldn't think OF making him
run around the ball park until he was
ready to drop. but player like Gessler.
who takes on lot Of superfluous flesh,
needs plenty of work"
MeAleeF says that he remembers how
things were when he was in the game
himself. which was not so many years
ago. He needed just about so much work
10 nj him for the season. and he is going
TO size up the players and act according
TO his own Judgment.
For the first week there will be nothing
doing except the usual routine of batting.
base running, and other stunts. A whole
lot will depend upon the weather. If it
is warm enough, and McAleer thinks it
advisable. number OF practice games
win be played right of the reel. as there
will be enough men on hand easily TO
form two clubs.
McAleer confirmed the story told exclu-
sively in The Washington Herald yester-
day that Speed" Kelley had been sold
to Denver. and added: II think I will
keep tabs on that young man during
the coming season, and with a little more
experience he may be ripe for US to use
in 1911"
Asked about Bill Yohe. the youthful
third baseman Joe Cantillon grabbed
from the Galveston club during the fag
end of last season, the Nationals boss
said: Il am going 10 get another look at
that player. They tell me he is a pretty
good infielder, ana I want to see him In
action. Yohe has been ordered to report
at Norfolk, and VIII be put through a
sim course OF sprouts"
Instead OF Jerry Eddinger for trainer,
the Nationals will this season have Joe
Quirk. who was with McAleer last sea-
son. and who is well-known in Wash
ington.
