Lew Declares Chances OF Posi-

Are Injurious.
LAKEWOOD. April 4.

LA Jul ApTii =.
nT HERE will be no practise
games between two pi, ked
teams In my squad while we
are here If / have my way" said Cap
tain McAllister today. Il do net
believe it right to send a pitcher to the
outfield or a catcher to shortstop. etc.,
as some managers do. Tit throw from
every position Is just different enough
to throw the man off his stride, and
then again there is always a CHARGE
that a / ito .er, say In the o itfiei5, mig II
forget himself In the heat of the lat
tie make a long throw and injure his
arm sometimes for the season. Ihave
seen that happen more than ono
There are not enough players here to
pick two full mines anyhow, and some
of the incl would have to play out of
their positions"
The warm weather at Lakewood yes
terday caused Captain Lew McAllister
to cease urging his men to practise.
All of the players got down to real
business and the day ended with p
lot of work. Hughey Hearne got into
the limelight when he clouted a couple
of balls good enough for homers, white
Meyer, Ganley, Swayne, Nee and the
others showed class In speeding
around the bases. "Holie' Ca6y
again distinguished himself by his
clean wallops. The outffeid had a
chance to get in some good work yes
terday, and all the gardeners were
fast. Swayne, Ganley and Meyer
grabbed many on the sensational or
der. The latter will have the job as

good work.
McAllister has been given free rein
by Joe McGinnity, n Is making good.
In 1907 Captain Mac was managing the
Buffalo club and was on a fair way to
winning the pennant when the owners
started to butt in and Mac quit the
job. Mac knows the game from every
angle, Is a close student of human ma
ture and a good leader In every way.
The Tigers, who have been expe t.
ing : a warm, pleasant day, were
disappointed today upon arising to
see a bleak, cold morning, the same
as they rave been bucking up against
since last Monday. II was the cold
wave that the major ieaguers in the
South have been complaining about,
and the same cold which prevented the
New York Yankees from playing an
exhibition game at Baltimore yester-
day.
Johnny Nee and Bennie Meyer. who
hail from Missouri, did not bring over
coats with them, as thew do not need
them the year round. 10 NY So ys that
he feels like Els imo youths of a GER
tain tribe, who have to go through a
gruelling test before they are recog-
nized as full-grown men. Accord g
to Nee II is the custom Of this tribe
to put the youth when he arrives at
a certain age In a scorching hot room
until he Is sweating from every rore.
He is then compelled to jump into an
icy hole, and II he survives the shock
he is called a man" Johnny rays
that after tire warm weather he has
enjoyed all winter he feels the same rs
an Eskimo youth must when he hits
that ice hole.
Loudeu Works.
The weather yesterday afternoon was
the lest that the Tigers Ia v e had vet
since hitting Lakewood. Old So smiled
down encouragingly and inspired the
players to frisk about In high spirits.
The hating was brisk and the fielding
sharp.
Bill Louden. who mas not handled a
baseball since last fall. got into the
melee and worked hard. 1t was easy
to potice the difference In form be-
tw Bill and his comrades, WIZ have
me advantage of a weeks work
er the Piedmont member.
