MONROE, La, March 2.--Iomor-
row ought TO see the Tiger recruits
In tip-top shape 10 begin the work
that will tell whether they have the
stun in them TO stick. Hitherto the
weeks work has been merely OF the
nature TO take out the kinks that
had settled in the bodies of the de-
mon athletes. After working the
soreness in the first couple OF days
and working IL out later on, the men
arc ready to play ball
They are all anxious TO be in fine
shape when Manager Jennings ar
riyes on the scene. In case he gets
here in time for practice, Sunday,
there will probably be workout in
the afternoon only. Otherwise Sun
day will be a real day OF rest. Train
er Tuthill figures that the absence
of hard work for one whole day
won't do any harm.
The Tigers regular routine OF
work is as follows: Breakfast bell
at 1880; board the car for the park
at 900; on the field at $780, Twenty
minutes OF work for the pitchers.
throwing TO the catchers and other
players; a half-hour OF batting prac-
ticc, the pitchers taking turns In the
box; club house and car for the ho-
tel. At 900 in the afternoon the car
for the grounds is taken again and
the same procedure gone through
with. During the evening the NOV
ing picture show forms the princf-
pal source of amusement, and the
hotel pool room, the principal source
OF pleasure, not knocking the motion
picture show business here bit.
Everybody in the crowd has taken
to pool and billiards. In the minors,
Sugden leads with a record OF fifteen
games played and one won. Jim Nc
CURE has taken a fancy TO pea POOL
and plays the sharks of the house.
Among the real artists, McCorry is
showing some real stun. He and
Ralph Works are having some duels
with the worries, that are really
worth watching. Onslow is another
new man who is classy His stunt
is billiards. In consideration of the
fact that the Tigers do the greater
share of the supporting of the par
lors, adjoining the hotel here, the
has kindly consented TO
allow big discount for games play
ed by ball players. All of which
means more sodas when the season
starts with warmer weather.
There is some disappointment
among the knockers that the hotel
here is serving real food this year.
According ito the unfortunates Of
last season. the stage money stunt
AS tried with the eatabies-F hfs
year there is food and all kinds OF II,
IL is highly favored for northerners,
however, and served by walters who
are attired in dress shirt bpsoms,
among other things. That is 10 say,
their vests are cut so as TO show
front that is fancy. Green and yell
low diamonds" bestud the fronts of
them.
There Is one thing about the wear
Ing of the bosoms of the shirts alone.
Ii saves lots OF laundry. After his
services as conveyor OF food are
over, each waiter pulls the white
bosom out OF his vest and Is a soft
shirted beli-hop or a burIy porter
Mike Maurer has a good graft with
tho boy who waits on the table in
the far corner OF the dining room.
Mike Is a bear for cream and when
he gets through with a meal there
is whole tray OF the little pitchersSl
ready to be carried out. Mike hit
the rich stun so heavy last night that
the chef had TO resort TO the con-
densed variety for common ordinary
people.
