That the case will cover several
weeks is certain. 1t is known that the
prosecution has some two hundred wit
nesses, and, It is expected that the de-
Tense will introduce the testimony Of
an equally large number. There is a
disposition, however, on the part of
members of the senate to push the
trial along as rapidly as possible. The
work Tuesday afternoon consisted
largely Of deciding on rules of evidence
and other matters. { The house board
Of managers and their counsel attor-

were in consultation all day Monday
and the work Of preparation will con-

to say other than that he expects a
fair and impartial trial, and looks for

| MANY GOLFERS
OPPOSE STYMIE
Walter Travis and Other Experts
Favor Having Element Of
Luck Barred.

American golfers having declared
that their allegiance to the Schenec-
tady putter is too strong to be broken,
even by the ancient authority Of st.
Andrews, are likely to next start a
campaign against the retention of the
stymie. Nothing will probably be done
until the new bogey rules are settled
and the putter troubles have been
closed, but the stymie is booked for
early attention. According to st. An
drews, its playing is imperative. The
fundamental rule of the sport was
doubtless responsible for the original
obligation of negotiating the stymie,
and 1t may have been retained partly
through the laziness of golfers who
did not care to lift, although such an
explanation savors of facetiousness.
OF course the majority of stymies
are merely luck. which ought to be
barred from the ranks Of real sports
men. Unfortunately it must be ad-
mitted that some men are despicable
enough to deliberately lay their op-
ponents stymie, although as the hole
Is three times as wide as the ball, 1t is
ordinarily much easier to hole the putt
II is known that Walter J. Travis is
heartily in favor of abolishing the
stymie, and several other American
stars agree with him.

- NTIRELY too much stress II
Il placed by the average base
ball fan upon the reports en-
A anating from he training
camps OF the various teams in the
spring. If the followers Of the game
could spend but a week in one Of these
camps and see just what goes on there
their eyes would be opened, and they
would realize that one-half Of the
news" sent out by the ambitious cor
respondents is nothing more than "su-
perheated atmosphere" and the other
half is naught but the unsupported
opinion Of the individual writer, hon
est enough, perhaps, but with nothing
to back il up.
Training trips are an absolute ne
cessity, but it is a mistake to think
that they are intended to prove that
every youngster picked up during the
previous fall and winter is a wonder.
The prime purpose Of the training trip
is TO put the players in condition for
the season. These jaunts do not make
stars out Of raw recruits. Experience
is always needed to make finished per-
formers out of the unframed mate
rial, no matter how much natural ma
terial is possessed by the young men
when they break into the fastest COM
pany in the land.
The games played between two out
fits made up of members of one team
are not the sort seen on big league dia-
monds during the championship cam
paigns. The men are under orders to
take no chances. There is no daring
base running, no sliding to the plate,
no taking of desperate risks. There is
little rivalry between the teams, no
object in view, so far as the victory is
concerned. The pitchers do not wind
up" and hurl the ball with speed
enough TO knock down a horse. On the
other hand, for weeks they simply lob
the sphere over. The main object is to
keep the men busy, to give them
healthful exercise, in order to timber
them up, get rid of stiffness and sore
muscles and reduce flesh.
In spite of all this the correspond
ents rave over what is being done by !
the teams with which they are travel
ing and send home columns of hot air
about how the men are showing up. A |
certain youngster is the greatest run |
ner that ever broke into the game; an !
other is a greater thrower than any
man ever before seen in action; all of
them are 300 or 400 hitters; the pitch |
ers are strike out fiends and never !
known to give bases on balls; the |
catchers are without exception unex-
celled ''peggers:" the fielders are per-
formers who never make errors, and, |
taken as a whole, the teams are un-
beatable.

will not allow anybody else to touch it.
While he hasn't much chance Of get
ting a permanent job with the Giants,
McGraw says that he is certainly a
natural hard hitter, and the manager
has to admire him for his gameness.
Before the game at Dallas recently he
made a break to get on the good side
OF Secretary Gray the moment Bill

slip two apples Off the table and quiet
ly sneak them into Gray's room. By
two skillfuI maneuvers like that he
succeeded in getting an advance order
for S25. Half of the money, according
to Beals Becker, was spent in sending
away postcards to his friends.

ics of baseball, such as respecting the
position of manager. Northumberland

ARE MAJORITY OF SOUTH
PAWS LOONY?

Are left handed ball players
crazy? Most baseball men say
that southpaws are "off in their
upper story" Most of the &C.
centric characters of the game
have thrown the ball from the
heart side.
Doc" White, the Chicago
White Sox's pitcher, a left
handler, adds his testimony.
Experts told me that south
paws wouldn't last long and
that they were crazy, and 1 in
vestigated," volunteers White.
Il have reached the conclusion
that overexertion affects the
right handler as much as the
left handler. .a.
Runners are affected more
frequently than pitchers, and the
legs are farther from the heart
than the arms. Long games
have never tired me. have
often pitched twelve or fifteen
innings without firing.
ITO tell the truth, left hand
pitching seems to affect the
brain quicker than the heart.
All the good left handlers as far
back as / can remember were
eccentric. Silk o'Loughlin told
me orfce I was the only left
handler he ever saw who was not
a little bughouse. He told me
again I was as crazy as the
others"

say. 1t is popular for some of these
persons to say. Why not raise the
limit TO 1876 pounds and give them all a
chance?" The answer to this question
should be obvious. but it Is not. The
choice of 1Ss pounds as the lightweight
limit is by no means an arbitrary one.
II is based on the singular fact that
there are comparatively few men who

KIDNEY PUNCH is O. K, SAYS
JACK JOHNSON.

'I say a boxer Is justified in
using the kidney punch or any
other blow as long as he doesn't
hit below the belt" says Jack
Johnson.
81 have seen active service in
the ring for fifteen years, and
in my experience I have never
noticed a good reason for a box
er not taking advantage of an
opening which might lead to
victory through the use OF this
kidney punch
''If the kidney punch is pro-
hibited in the future there will
be less fighting. When a man
becomes groggy or in distress
he will go into a clinch to save
himself. He knows that while
hanging on a clever man is able
to get in some effective work
with the kidney punch. so If it is
stopped it will give a poor boxer
the advantage and work a dis
advantage. on the clever man.
Why should this punch be stop
ped? A boxer has never been
knocked out through its use,
and a ring fatality has never
been chalked up against It. 1

game and that every boxer
should be taught its use, that ii

and that makes up 90 per cent of the
spring work.
It's like this: The ball player shows
UP for work. He is usually stiff from
muscular inactivity through the win

that his muscles will not become stitf

to be turned loose, when the wedding
out process Is started.
Baseball players are not trained like
pugilists, football players or oarsmen.
In fact. II you come down to the real
understanding Of the word training"
as II applies to sports ball players are
not trained at all. They merely prac-
tice and are coached in team work by
the manager.
The ball player has no compulsory
hours for sleep. has no certain diet,
and no attention Is paid to certain
muscles. as is the case with the fighter,

erwise the perspiration would cause
him to be chilled and all kinds Of all
ments would follow.
So far as baseball is concerned it Is
very unfortunate that this country is
not uniform ir its temperature. Com
ing from warm climates, the players
frequently suffer from the cold air of
early spring when they reach the north,
and sometimes their muscles are bad
all season. # they could continue to
play in the climate where they train
such things as Charley horses and

glass arms would be practically IN
known
The first thing a manager has to do
is to find out If the new players have
real ability. In this they are often
mistaken. as some men show form
much more quickly than others. Usu-
ally, though, a ball players natural ac-
tions show whether he has ability or
not even before he goes on to the field
for regular work.
All Must Be Drilled.
These young players have to be tried
out in every possible way so as to test
them So far as the old players are
concerned, they need no training. ThG
mere act Of warming up and getting
rid or early soreness Is enough for
them. One Of the most painful sights
In the world is a collection Of ball
players on the day following their first
appearance in uniform. Some Of them
become so sore that they cannot sleep,
and others are unable to walk.
No matter how able a player may be
or whatever may be his past record,
he must be drilled in team work, be-
cause he is likely to be working along
side different man from the one he
played with the previous season.
1t takes several weeks to get them
working in harmony. Any fan knows
what a bungle 1t Is when both the
shorts:op and second caseman fail to
cover second. They also know how
crude 1t looks to see am player leave
a bag uncovered. The player has got
to be continuously drilled to prevent
just that kind OF thing. No man can
read another's mind. and 1t is there
fore necessary to have some kind Of
understanding. and the entire team
must know the system thoroughly.
This is done by a regular series Of sig
nails.
No Dieting Necessary.
AS to diet and sleeping hours the old
player is allowed to use his own judg-
ment. The men eat anything they
want, and they usually want enough
to give a dyspeptic heart disease. The
main goal of a ball player in training
is the dining room. Remarkable as it
may seem, the very things that other
athletes are denied-pastry and desc
serts-form the principal part Of D.
ball players diet. They are all very
fond of sweets. 1t is not uncommon
to see a strapping athlete sit down at
table and order four kinds of pie in
addition to ice cream and cake. They
are also fond OF salads. like lobster
and chicken, and they are allowed to
eat all they want.
In other words, the ball player Is on
his own responsibility. If his playing
is affected he is the one that has to
suffer. II he drinks to excess he knows
that his pocket will be the sufferer;
consequently he does not drink.

how many years they have been play

climate is impossible. That's why the
teams always journey to q senitrop-

5aImy Air Relieves Soreness.
Nothing relieves soreness in muscles
like balrny atmosphere. The men can
perspire without consequent colds and
rheumatism. Terspiration is the best
oil in the world for taking the sore
ness out of muscles, and to get good
results the player must be warm with

him along until he believed that Hans

like oysters and that he doesn't know
where they raise them, but to show
