weather like this tomorrow and we shall
hit up the speed little" observed Chase,
manager of the Yankees, at breakfast this
morning. What impresses me about the
training we have had so far Is there has
been scarcely any complaint OF soreness by
the players. and We have done some stiff
work at that. Never before in spring train
ing have | heard so little complaint of
soreness and stiffness"
Golfing and walking were the programme
to-day. Everybody but Fisher, Gardner and

Chase succumbed this morning. and showed
the same adaptability to this pastime as
he does TO all others he tackles.

It is a crying shame that those in con-

is worse, a backward step. the III effects
