Special To The Washington Herald.
Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 16.-Tom
Hughes was the only one OF the Ma
tionals who worked out at Majestic Park
to-day, the other members of the team
contenting themselves with road work,
which included a visit to the alligator
farm and an inspection OF the Pittsburg
diamond and their new grounds being
built at Wilmington Park.
II don't want the men to do too much
work so soon," said Capt. Mcbride, for
we will get all the training we are look
ing for when We strike Atlanta for a
months grind. Some of them are un-
der weight. Johnson wants to gain
flesh, not lose it, and if 1 were to order
him out for a daily grind so soon, ii
would cause him to go stale. What we
are giving the most attention to now is
our daily plunge in the baths and noun
tain climbing, and we will keep this up
for the remainder of the week. although
some of us will get in the game Satur-
day and Sunday; but we won't kill our
selves, depend on that"
The players were much interested in
the new drainage system that has been
installed in the grounds to be used by
Pittsburg and in the new playing field.
which when completed will be 400 feet
square, with grand stand and all mod
ern training conveniences.
Tomorrow the men will climb to the
top of the government observation tower
on the summit of Hot Springs Mountain.
and this is some climb" the distance
from their headquarters being about
three miles of all upgrade travel.

MANY ATHLETES ENTERED.
Annual Championship Cross Country
Run Feature of Next Week.

With the probability Of the largest en-
try list in the history OF the sport in the
South. the cross country championship
run of the South Atlantic Association,
which will be held at Brightwood next
Wednesday afternoon, promises to be the
most successful event of it's kind ever
given by this division of the Amateur
Athletic Union.
Nearly a dozen organizations will be
represented by more than a hundred ath-
letes, and the contest for the long-dis-
tance blue ribbon hono-s will be unusual
ly hard fought. At least three organiza-
Uions are believed to have an equal
chance for capturing the team trophy.
Heretofore the team prize has usually
been conceded to either Johns Hopkins
University or the Baltimore Cross Coun-
try Club before the race began. But this
year there is new organization, the
Washington Cross Country Club which
has entered a dozen good ong-distance
runners, and which it is admitted. will
give both of the Baltimore contenders a
hard rub for first place.

In order to get into it the best way is
to hire an expert ''yegg'' and let him

TEN.
About the only loopholes in the iron
clad nerve of this book are to be
found in the even" offered that the
New York Americans will not finish as
good as third, and the ~ to 1 that the
Giants don't win the pennant in the Ma
tional League. The rest of the prices
are squeezed about as close as a poker
hand when you're trying to find the fifth
card Of the same suit
The mysterious feature about the
ticket is the naming of odds against
the ST. Louis Browns and Boston Ma
tIonals. Apparently the Browns have a
better chance to win first place in their
organization than have the Rustlers in
theirs. But youth have to visit the
observation ward to get evidence to
prove it.
Since Jake Stahl has retired from the
baseball profession John l. Taylor has
been more or less bothered as to who
he will put on first base next season.
Taylor has assigned Jack Thoney to the
job. Thoney has been out of the fray
for the past two years with a bad arm
and a broken leg. but has told Taylor
that he is all right and that he can
play first base. There are very few
ball players in the business any faster
than Thoney, and il he is right he will
no doubt fill up that gap.

In letter to the Sporting Edi-

Arthur Duffey, the former
Georgetown star, who had charge

the Gallaudet College girls in the second

Although the score was one-sided, the
