Atlanta, Ga. March 6--Jim Vaughn, the
chief "southpaw" twirler Of the Yankees

Wcatherford, Tex. this morning and duly
reported 10 Wolverton. Jim looks big and
husky. lie has been engaged in the genial
occupation OF railroad brakeman all winter
and the outdoor life seems TO have agreed
with him, and he has better color than
when he reported last spring. He has not
signed "A contract as yet. but took part in
the days practice with as much vim as
any of the others, and probably will come
to terms soon.
The usual morning and afternoon install
ments OF work were had. II was raw and
cloudy to-day. but the rain held off, and ny
afternoon there were enough comparatively
dry stretches on the otherwise swampy
field to permit the players TO scatter out
and warm up with more elbow room than
they have been having After the throw
ing and fielding drill there was real bat
ting practice at last, and some OF the play
ers had a bat in their hands for the 1rst
time since last fall.

ina and Rainy Afternoon.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune ]

Marlin, Tex, March 6.-Between frosty
morning and rainy afternoon the Giants
squeezed in an hour of cold storage prac-
tice to-day and were I'm luck to be out
that long A light drizzle drove them away
from Emerson Park shortly before .
o'clock. but the storm was only a hurry
that was followed by an upward revision
of the temperature. The late afternoon was
much warmer, and the clouds seem to De

All the weather prophets In town came
cropper to-day. as they had predicted
clear day. But the sun. which has remained
hidden since last Friday, is still IN hding.
This morning was the coolest since the ar
rivals of the Giants, but as there was
light wind the players dressed up ana
reported for practice. They worked hard
for about an hour, hut at almost everything
except baseball
This afternoon McGraw exercised three
sets Of inielders and two combinations OF
outfelders before the practice team was
wet down He prodded his men 10 1ast
work, beginning with half an hour Of bat
ting practice for the regulars, with Jcn
Tesreau hurting them over.
Then he assembled his blue ribbon inheld
and batted grounders to them. The wings
of the champions were given the play 10
dav. and the throwing was unusually ac-
curate for this time of the year. Cnlct
Neyers handed them around 10 the ihhcid
with great caution. After fifteen minutes OF
this work Wilson went behind the plate ana
McGraw trotted out his second string con-
slsting Of Bues at third, Groh at snort
Stock at second and Shafer at first
AS the first raindrops sent the athIetes
sc,rrylng to shelter, McGraw got together
what he called the "all star iniield' with

DE ORC IN RARE GOOD FORM

Picking off the long shots with his old
time skill, Alfredo De ORC last night In
creased his lead over John DAILY In their
pocket billiard match at Doyle's 42d street
academy. The total for the third block
Of balls was 105 70 49, which placed the
grand totals at 3o7 and les. respectively.
De ORC kept DAILY making the breaks most
Of the time. and then he proceeded to pick
OF the outstanding ball and run off the
others In turn. In the sixth frame De orc
worked a splendid masse for a combina-
tlon to the side pocket which was success
fuI and allowed him to get all of the pyra-
mid. He executed double kiss shot in
the ninth frame which was extremely
clever Altogether ten frames were played.

SMALL VERDICT IN
SAUK CITY CASE

The jury brought in verdict of 1925
In damages in the case of Joseph
Rindle VS.. the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway. The decision was
not reached until we'll along towards
midnight after the jury had been out
about nine hours. AS will be seen by
the special verdict the railroad COM
pany was not held wholly to blame
and the verdict is not considered large.
The court may reduce the sum and
the case is likely to go,to the supreme
court. The special verdict gis as fol-
lows:
1. Was the defendants train on the
night In question running faster than
twelve miles per hour at any time
when it was within 20 rods of the
south line of the Bryant street cross
ing?
Answer, Yes.
2. Did the defendant fail to ring the
engine bell continuously from the
time the train came within 20 rods of
the Bryant street crossing until this
crossing was reached by the engine?
Answer. No.
3. IF you answer the first and second
questions or either of them eyes,
was the manner in which the defend
ants train was operated with reference
to its rate of speed and the ringing of
the bell the cause of the plaintiffs
team running away?
Answer. Yes.
4. If you answer either or both
questions l and 2 EYES," was the man
ner in which defendants train
operated as it approached the Bryant
street crossing with reference to it's
rate of speed and the ringing of the
bell the proximaGe cause of the Injuries
which the plaintiff sustained?
Answer. Yes.
5. Was the plaintiff guilty of any
gross negligence which proximately
contributed to produce the injury
which be sustained?
Answer. No.
6. At what sum do you assess plain
tiff's damages?
Answer. $725.
Mr.. Rindle was struck by a train
last winter at Sank City and was
more or less injured. A leg was broken
and ribs fractured. He recovered.
