afternoon. must have worked at his
sunshine furnace all night. for yester-
day he turned out the prettiest weather
seen here this year. The day was glo-
rious with a warm. bright sun and the
balmy atmosphere which has made this

of many a base ball constellation per-
form at Majestic Park. fully seven hun
dred spectators being present. Among
the visitors were Bill Dahlen and
Trainer Comfort with half a dozen
Brooklyn players who will start regular
training within week. Manager

days. Grover Land. catcher vi the

speedy Washington pitcher who had
just started in to pitch and was laying

willing. ready worker. and the comments
of the players indicate that his work this
season will bear watching. He has done
very little training here up t. date. and
his work yesterday was watched with in

their approval.
DOME Bush and Delehanty of Detroit
are two happy players. and the way they
gambol about second and short and per-
form all manner Of gyraticns makes the
uninitiated wonder what is the matter
with them. The truth is that Bush frac-

had an operation performed on it, and
Delehanty broke his leg in Cleveland and
was out of the game the last four weeks
of the season Their manager and friends
have been filled with anxiety all winter
for fear that their speedy and valuable
legs would be disa bled permanently. And
maybe the players themselves had many
a troubled hour: but their work indicates
that their pedal extremities are sound,
hence the sportive joy of the brilliant
second baseman and shortstOp.
