Tough on Recruits.

The outburst of ethereal sky juice which has flooded
Dixie for the past two weeks has not only washed most
of the pink from the athletes condition. but has also
washed away many youngsters chance to slip under
the Major Tent
In the first two weeks Of training season the club
manager puts in the bulk of his time sizing his recruits
and obtaining line upon the situation in general His vet
receive scant notice through these early stages as
their ability is already known. From mid March tho
leaders attention is shifted back to developing team
play perfecting his machine and pointing it for the
opening battle.
At the end of the first two weeks Of 1925 workout,
the only line any mogu has been able to obtain upon
debutante is his ability to swim steer rowboat over
the vast inland above the base lines There will
be less time and less chance for youngster to
show something worth while than the game has
known before Only the most prepossessing will draw
an chance to hang on, for it's only matter of
two weeks before the first squad will be hiking
along the trail back homeback to the fragrant odor Of
the gate receipts and the suCculent payroll.
This Is said to be the worst since Old Doc
Noah was forced build ark to look after spring
training for his tribe.

Cunningham's Concert.

The players, with a very few excep-

Cunningham, however, delights in lis
tening to Caruso and Scotti and Chris
tie Macdonald, no matter what the
others thing about the exhibition.
The other day. while four games OF
pitch and pinochle were In progress,
Cunningham was sitting in the corner
with his graphophOne. oblivious to all
the raucous tones around him and rapt
in the music Of Caruso. Tom Hughes

card game and, putting on look of
disgust, cried:
