nor do ! overwork myself, SO why

Tvs question and answer. "A training
trip Is a grind OF ball players,

as President Navin and Manager Jen-
nings have never insisted on my taking
them, I cannot see the object in do
ing so.
IT am willing to do my share and
more for the good of the Tigers, and T
would consider myself doing unneces-
sary work on a training trip. For a
man who Is prone to taking on flesh.
or for players who do not keep them
selves in condition during the winter,
a training trip is all right, but there
are n number of players In the big
leagues to whom a training trip 10 more
of a detriment.
They go South, and they take on
more flesh than they really should.
They work under o boiling sun, and
they get tired out. When the time for
the opening of the season comes they
are stale. For my part, / believe in
doing light work throughout the WIN

with the team puts me in m~idseason
form.
IL will probably join the team a weeis
or so before the opening of next sea
son. I will probably be in Detroit a
greater part of the winter, and, being
here will likely put the bug into me
ooner than usual. Last spring I didn't
join the Tigers until a week before the
opening of the season. and I had the
best year in my history.
ut is noticeable that my worst year
was the one which followed a spring
training trip"

Newark fans are hoping just now
that Manager Joe McGinnity will be
ready to announce that he has obtained
some new catchers by the time ne gets
back from his holiday visit to his home
in McAlester, Okla.
Local fans are satisfied that the rest
of the machine, with the exception of
the pitching staff, is a well-built COM
bination.
Tiger fans are always anxious for
news, and it would be a nice little gift
if the Newark club announced the
name of the new backstop to succeed
Cady as a holiday token.
So far as pitchers are concerned, Joe
lean afford to wait until the majors be-
gin to unload, but lie must have a
catcher, and maybe two, to work out
with the rest of the cam on the train
ing trip. A team without a good
catcher is like a ship with an uncer-
tain steering gear.
Dickering for Graham.
gAmong the men the Newark club
has been dickering for are Catchers
Tom Needham, and another Cub catch
err. To get this man out of the major
league. however, 1t will probably be
\ necessary to chloroform the other seven
managers.
Politics are playing a larger and
ever increasing part in baseball every
year, and Charley Murphy. of Chicago
is a clever politician. Perhaps by some
real clever scheming he will be able to
cut the strings on one man, but it is
extremely doubtful. Roger Bresnahar
and "Chubby Chawles" are open enc
mics since their little spat, which
originated in New York.
Relations between Charley Ebbet:
and the ''auto-press-agent" are also
somewhat strained.
Another Good Reason
Then there is also another gNod rea'
, son why it is harder To obtain bis
league waivers on a catcher than OF
a player from any other position. a
catcher must be thoroughly versed il
the signals of his cam. He must have
mastered thoroughly every defensive
and aggressive play used by his man
ager. Thus when one catcher outliVe'
his services with a team n wise man
ager is the one who refuses to waive
on him and grabs him for use in
emergencies, and to tip hin off OF thu
plans of the other can This is espe
, cially true in the case of W riva
teams, such as New York and Chi
cago, in the National League.
When the Giants found they could
not use Tom Needham Frank Chance
gathered him in. McGraw got Need
ham from Boston. Now Chicago has
taken Catcher Schlei from New York
. The Admiral was with Cincinnati be-
fore the Giants gave him a job. He
never caught regularly.

Three American cup competition con-
tests down for decision on Sunday will
afford a dainty morsel for soccer fans
in this vicinity as the final games OF
1911. The West Hudsons and the VIII
berforce teams come together in a
game on the Harrison teams grounds.
Interest on the other side of the
river. and also in Newark, will be cen
tired on this combat, as the two teams
have good chances to win the Ameri-
have good cahnces to win the Ameri-
can cup. The Hudsons are boosted to
win because they are a trife heavier
and more aggressive, but the visitors
have a ~resoureeful forward line that
is always dangerous. The game will
start at 2:45 o'clock.
The Paterson Rangers will face the
Wissonoming team at Paterson. The
Rangers stand an excellent chance OF
escaping elimination. 1t is figured thai
they should defeat the Wissonomine
team though not without a battle.
