rain GIVES THE
TIGERS A REST
Will Play Montgomery Team Today,
But Return To Monroe Tuesday,
Where Meet Other Team.
BY PAUL HALE aRvskE.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March go
The Tiger veterans arrived here today
and will play the Montgomery team
this afternoon. Because OF the rain
yesterday, the game with Mobile was
called on and the men were given
rest. This allowed those with sore
arms an opportunity to rest, but
everybody is today feeling that II the
pennant depended upon today's game,
the Tigers would win X.
A number OF the athletes went fish

rain storm which came up In the
morning drenched than and they
were forced to return TO the hotel.
The remainder OF the day was spent
around the hotel.
Tuesday will find the Tigers back
in Monroe, La. where they will meet
the other team. After four days
stay, the squad will be divided into
two teams and the start north will be
made.
There Is a noteworthy difference in
the brand OF strategy on tap on the
two trips Of the Tigers.

Also he values highly his own morn.

the social sessions which the club en-
joys In the hotel lobby In the even

But, with the first team, the air is
as full OF baseball when the team is
on the field, as when the game Of the
day Is In progress. There is a meet
ing every forenoon when morning
practice isn't possible. At this meet
ing plans are discussed, signals talked
over and practiced, suggestions OF all
sorts are made by Hughie and COM
mented on by the veteran players, and
a general atmosphere of systematic
Preparation prevails.
Wherever possible Hughie gives his
men a morning practice. Otherwise,
he marshalls them out of the hotel at
L o'clock, and puts them over sue

hall yard, long before the arrival OF

Frequently there Is a meeting In
the evening. at which the players un-

said Hughie. But, after we
scattered, some OF the fellows
developed into regular plungers.
John McGraw has made and
lost some mighty hig bets on

been given TO understand, at
one time lost all the savings OF
his career In wagering on the
races.

horses In a very quiet way and
think Is a bit ahead OF them.
He's one or the rare sort who
will go TO track and play one
horse. Whether this bet wins
or loses, Keller sits down for
the rest of the day in the stand,
and merely enjoys the racing.
A man can play quietly In that
way and not be much out. It's
this attempt 10 beat six races
on the days program that
breaks UP the bankroll."

The creed of this bug is the super
