on a spring training trip should take a
run down to Lakewood some day next
month after the Bengals start in train
Ing. 1t Is. a most arduous days work
that the players must go through, the
veteran being compelled to hold his
nose to the grindstoie the same as the
greenestyoungster.
This is something like what tho
routine of a days work in the Newark
training camp will be for q day: The
Layers rise at 1870 o'clock, have break
fast at 8, and start for the park at $3.50
o'clock on foot. 1t is the usual custom
for the players to jog put to the
grounds, and Secretary Frank Nc
Tague vas careful to select q hotel
that would not be too far out of the
way. The Palmer House Is located
about a half mile from the Lakewood
Clubs battlefield.
Prominent Lakewood citizens nave
already offered to supply automobiles
for the Tigers to make their journies,
but Joe McGinnity would never ac-
quiesce to that plan. Arriving at the
park, the pitchers will start to warm
UP, and the one hat shows the best
control will go into the box to give the
other regulars batting practise, while
a few of the players go out on the
field to throw in the balls and take
their turn t bat later. Thu team will
work this way until noon. when a jog
around the field for about q mile is
taken, and Their the men return to the
hotel for the noontim lunch, after a
rundown, which will be taken at the
Lakewood Y. M. c. A, through the
courtesy of the management of that
association.
At 3 o'clock the players return to
the grounds, on foot, and O practise
game is in order. During the first few
days the Iron Man. will ave his men
line up for sprints, in order to develop
speed. Then, too, there is a frst-class
swimming tank, a basketball court and
an indoor running track in the 7. M.
C. A. gymnasium, as well as a first
class gymnastic equipment of dunn
bells, indian clubs and other exerciser3
intended to ease up and develop the
muscles, for the use of the Tigers.
At night, after the ravenous appe-
tiles of the bunch have been apeastd,
there will be many interesting tanning
bees in progress. while some of the
boys take in the entertainments, but
the Iron Man insists that they re-
tire by 1920 o'clock.
He must keep his hand on the pulse
of every man, in order that he will not
strain himself or grow stale. The
youngsters are specially troublesome
during the early stages, as they go
out to urn things up right off III
reel.
There will be nc moving-picture
shows for the Tigers, as it Is generally
agreed that they are bad for the eyes,
and the best opticians declare that
they will in time impair the eyes ght
of any person. A ball players worth
depends @ great deal on his vision, and
ne must be very careful of his optics.
