Where the sweet wailing sing

But Ger their silent sisters

Alas for those that never sing,

THE ball hit the platform and, by
gosh, 1t stuck up there. Danny waited
for the ball to come down while the
hitter was sneaking around the bases.
After he waited about a few seconds
and the ball didn't come down to
earth, Danny sneaked up the ladder

to get the ball. Darned II he didn't get
to the top rung of the ladder and was

CURE FOR SLEEPING SICKNESS
West Coast Of Africa May Get Rid Of
Disease Through Fowls Who Eat

London.-Letters received from the

TINKER ON SPRING TRAINING
Clever Little Chicago shortstop Says
i 10 Funny Business and Should
Depend on Player.

Funny thing, this spring training
business is. anyway" says Joe Tinker.
IT'S uncertain any way you look at
it, but, Of course, all Of us have to go
through it. I don't know that there
are any particular rules you have to
follow, or any set Of rules that every
team could adhere to. A fellow has
to use common n in baseball, as in
everything else, and, Of course, all of
us have slightly different ideas about
how to get into condition. AS for my
self, I do q lot Of training at home be-
fore l report to the training grounds
in the spring, and, naturally, what
ever any man thinks about any par
ticular thing is based on his own ex-
perience and feelings.
"The pitchers of any team should
have more work in the spring than the
other players, for the reason that they
have the most work to do in a game,
and need to be the best men in the
game for that reason, or rather, the
strongest, I should say. h
II do not believe in any long runs
for any ball player, for he does not
have that kind of stuff in a game.
What a ball player needs, as a fight
er does, is to strengthen his legs. 1
believe pitchers should run the bases
all the time, and get used to this. This
Is necessary, SO that when they get on
bases in a game they would not be

score q run.
"You take a pitcher that is all tired
out by making a run, for instance, and
he is in no shape to pitch the next
inning. He is almost sure to lose his
control, and that is what a HEAVIER
needs in a game more than anything
else. This weakness of many pitchers
is often due to being winded after run
ming the bases, and probably If more
of them would condition themselves
properly before going into a game
they would stick.
"Mathewson, Walsh, Brown and the
other great pitchers have had plenty
of experience, but one reason for their
success is that they are strong. Their
legs are good and they can go through
a hard game without becoming weak.
The young fellows are weak because
they do not run enough. This gives
them leg power and also wind. This
running holds good with all of the play
ers, but Is particularly good for pitch
ers, for they have the hardest work
to do. They are always on the move.
