.,at time Il may be that the malady will
he stamped out
The Giants will begin training unusually
early for a big league team, most Of the
others reporting around March 1. McGraw
has found from the experience OF last year
that an early start gives him the best re-
eults In case a change in the training
quarters should be made, the club will be
nut to serious Inconvenience. This. how
over. would be far better than risking i'll
ness among the players.
A schedule OF preliminary games cover
ing much Of the affected territory is being
arranged, and this may have to be some
what curtailed, although the officials OF the
club are optimistic just at present They
are going ahead with the formulation Of
their plans as IL the trip to Marlin Springs
was a certainty.
Two new dates have been definitely added
m the spring schedule after the team
reaches New York. The Newark Indians
will be played at the Polo Grounds on
Monday, April 8, while the Giants Will go
to Newark for a return game on the next
day. That arrangements had been mace
for these games was announced in The
Tribune yesterday
II looks now as though no additions TO
the Polo Grounds stands will be made for
another season. II was reported some time
ago that the wooden bleacherS would be
torn down this winter and replaced by con-
crete and steel stands. Mr.. OBrien said
Yesterday that he did not know just what
plans John T. Brush had made in regard
to the stadium, but he thought 1t was
Il ha were
made before another year. There is much
to be done on the grandstand. which was
not completed at the time Of the worlds
series last fall. This work Will be finished
before any additions to the stadium are
made.
