EVERY TEAM IN TEXAS LEAGUE IS
CLAIMANT FOR The 1871 PENNAhT

Trailkiu, Smith and Cochran Metz,
the successor of Hornhorst. is Wen
known in Texas and exceedingly pop
ular.
Houston's gilt edge outfield looks
good with Whiteman, Davis and POW
ell as the guardians In fact the critics
in the Magnolia City bklieve that this
trio is far superior to Northen, Cork
hill and Mowry.
Charlie Rose, the clever little south
paw of Houston for the past two years,
is now married. and expects this to be
his best season His wife is the sister
of pitcher Herbert Of Austin
Up in Oklahoma way the clouds are
beginning to lift a little. George KEEL
sey is gathering a few veterans ana
promising youngsters under his wing.
One of the first men to report with the
Indians was Jerry Kane, who had
played with Galveston, Houston and
Fort Worth Red" Davis was traded
for him. Pat Casey, the big flrstbase-
man. has secured a furlough from the
Oklahoma City fire department and is
working out with the team Kelsey
believes his team is sure to run WITHIN
the money.
Little is heard from Galveston, eX-
cept that Donelly is building up a good
team One of the first men to report
who is clouting the ball hard and
PLAYING a steady game in the field.
Around Waco and Dallas the goose
hangs high. The Waco promoters be-
lieve they have a pennant winning
team. or at least first division team
If that is the case it will be an 1nno-
walton. for no one recalls when Waco
was among the top notchers-
Dallas is already claiming the PEN
aofd
of money for players and the Giants
will certainly start the season excep-
tionaIly strong.
At Houston, Whiteeman. secured
from Mobile. has reported for duty. He
will go to left field and Red" Davis
will go to right. McCully is slated to
play second If Eddie Moves is able he
will do the backstopbing. If not, there
is Alexander there to fall back upon
The Wedding Process.
The wedding out process in the
Texas league will begin about April l.
There is no doubt Judging by the
showing made so far, that each team
has sufficient men signed to pick out
very strong aggregations.
President Wilbur P. Allen Of the
league has made official announce
ment OF the lmpires. The staff is as
follows: C. c. Bush, Wilson Matthews,
Dit Spencer and William Lortz- Brooks
Gordon last year manager OF the
Waco team, and Lee Garvin have been
named as substitute umpires. Mat
thews is the only umpire who has
served previously in the league He
has always given great satisfaction

The defeats, or at most the close

in the season bring thousands to their
feet by a display of brilliant team
work, when matched with the minor

spirit. This don't care phase of the
baseball stars character during the
early spring training. might be called
in other circles an artistic tempera-
ment," and is as prevalent among the
heroes of the diamond when training
as is the familiar spring fever which
attacks the office bound fans who read
the baseball news while comfortably
seated before a blazing fire in the
north.
Stars Must Get in Shape.
The average star of the diamond,
with long winter to idle away and
plenty of money in his pocket, lives a
life more or less open to criticism. He
is prone to take on flesh and self es-
TEEN, and when the times comes for
five or six hours hard work under a
blazing sun he is neither mentally or
physically fit for the ordeal and must
be driven to his task by the watchful
captain and manager. Then, too he
feels his superiority over the minor
league cubs" who have had weeks of
hard practice while he has been say
ing goodbye to his friends in the north
and who are in the best possible phys
ica1 condition. This conscious superb
GRITTY, or, as it is more commonly
called, "swelIed head" is apt there
fore to get more or less Of a jolt when
the overfed and unfit regulars" come
in actual contact with the men who
have been playing ball and are in
good physical trim-hence the news
dispatches chronicaling the inability
of such players as Ty Cobb, Bugs
Raymond, 'Matty" and many others to
displays their old form.
Exit Artistic Temperament
Frow now on, however, a new order
of things will be apparent The team
managers will take the whip hand, if
they have not already done so, and
drive all thoughts of the artistic tenn
permanent" from the prima donnas of
the diamond by demanding hours of
hard and conscientious work and a
training table diet. Their playing will
improve, their victories will increase,
and the newspaper correspondents, who
have been so busiIy engaged in touting
the newcomrs for major league uni
forms viii loll back in their swivel
chairs and reap the harvest of news
they have been so careful to SOW, by
chronicaling the release of Ira Nc
Swat, the world famed pill bouncer
from the Kentucky bush. who showed
such great form In the early spring,
but has fallen down in his play during
the past few weeks"
