1t has been definitely decided by the

April &c and ~. This action is directly
opposed to the plans which Manager
Kingsley had formulated during the
winter for the outdoor campaign, but
was deemed necessary in view of the
tact that Captain Davis and Ed Chap

Both of these men are needed for the
success of the diamond squad and there

Clty done away with, the work of the
outdoor track squad will be devoted to
getting in trim for the South Atlantic
intercollegiate AssoCia ton games when
are to be held in Baltimore in NAV.
The squad will be ordered to report
next Monday, for the initial outdoor
pracuce. and from then on until after
the meet the men will work every after
noon on the quarter mile track which
surrounds the baseball field. Captain

Foolish Plays PeeVe
Manager Harry Davis

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 27.-No
Cleveland player need have serious fear
of call-down from Manager Harry
Davis after bOotlng one, or maybe two,
but the man who pulls a bone is des-
tined to hear about it in no unmlstakd-
BILE terms. according to Paddy Living
the only thing which will actually
ruffle Davis disposition.
While on that line, 1t may be we'll to
recall a few remarks dropped by the
chief a few days ago With two strikes
on one of the New Orleans batSmeu
and one ball, one of the Nap hurlers
shot the ball over the plate waist high.
Davis said nothing then, but that night
within the hearing of some of his men
he declared: II don't mind seeing a
fellow put an occasional ball over the
plate, but when conditions require that
a ball should be pitched wide and 1t is
not. ] am going to know the reason
why, and l will know whether the re-
sponsibility rests with the pitcher or
catcher. A pitcher may fail to locate
the proper shoot occasionally, but II
he fails often it is time for him to start
to acquire control"

lenge to wrestle with any man of his
weight. Monday took up the def and
both men posted a forfeit which goes
as side bet. In addition to this the
winner will receive a purse of SfOO which
has been offered by the theater.
MaCkey lost but one out of his seven
matches last season and as he has
taken on considerable weight and con-
siders himself in excellent shape he is
backing himself to win. In Young Mon
day, however. the Washingtonian has
an opponent who has made most favor
able impressions in the bouts in which
he has shown in this city.

AS Georgia Has Remodeled 1t.
Tide, Time, and Ty for no man wait
Hank Still True to Old Times.

Taking up the question with Henri ODay, the we'll
known Frenchman from Killarney the only thing a
ball club gets by kicking at judge OF plays decisions
is something else to kick about later in the game.
There are certain managers and players" opines
Hank, who'll slip you the bunk that kicking paves the
way for close later There isn't any argument
to debate Of this sort Suppose you were umpirng-
or any fan in the stand was umpiring-if he was
inClued to give either club the edge, would he favor
the team which accepting his decisions without
complaint, pass the shade along the club attempt
ing to make his life miserable at every turn of the fight?
In other words, would you feel more friendly guy
who came up and shook your hand. to who came
up and attempted TO stamp your toe nails? That S
the answer to it all. And that's why neither any
member of my squad will go out after umpires this
season, matter how the umpires may go after US,
which they won't do If we leave them alone"

Pittsburg, of U. S. League,
Holds First Practice

manager Charles Philippe of the
FlttsburSh United States League club
had a squad of eighteen or twenty
catchers and pitchers at work on the
grounds of Duquesne University yester-
day afternoon,->The playing field was
ankle-deep with mud. and the Young
players who are eager to land berths
with the club were forced to do their
exercising near the fences where the
soil was not quite so soft.
There were tall players, short players,
stout players and slender players; some
who looked as If they knew what they
were there for and some who didn't.
The players came from all sections of
Greater Pittsburgh, each provided with
q uniform. Some of these fitted the
forms of the players; others gave the
spectators a fit. There were white uni.
forms, yellow uniforms, brown uni
forms, combination uniforms blue uni
forms, clean uniforms and soled uni
foTms, the latter predominating.
When the future Matiewsons,
ORIOLES. Camnitzes and Adamses were
paired off with catchers they were told
by Philippe to take matters easy, as
the air was cold and raw. All said they
would obey the command They did for
perhaps five or ten minutes Then they
begun trying their benders, shoots and
speed, each bent on showing Phil that
he nad something which he had been
concealing in his sleeve all winter
After watching these foolish fingers
for short time Manager Philippe re-
marked: "All right let 'em go ahead;
have cautioned them, but IL they want
to get gay that is their affair. 1 have
an Idea some OF them will show up here
tomorrow carrying their arms in sings,
while others mar not show up at all
they won't be able to get out of bed
If these pitchers only would understand
that ! do not expect any of them to use
speed or curves until the weather gets
warmer, but that all l want is to get
line on action, they surely would take
things easier"
Philippe was very favorably impressed
with the showing by several candidates
but very properly refra ined from giving
voice to any opinions for publication.
It is the intention to keep the pitchers
and catchers busy during the remainder
of the week. by which time Philippe
hopes to be able to get lines on those
who look the most promising. Several
twirlers of experience. who have signed,
will not be asked TO report until the
team goes to Old Point Comfort.
Next week about thirty candidates for
infield and outfield positions will report
to Philippe and be given every oppor-
tunity to show what they can do.
Claude RltChey did not put in an APP
pearance yesterday and II is likely he
will not be asked to report before next
Monday. Claude is now in lumber
camp welding an ak and writes Phil
Iippe that the exercise thus obtained Is
doing him a world of good

Far from where the Big Tents looming;
Back to Maine and Tennessee,
Where the Verdant Bush is blooming

But the game is like the ball
Smooth in spots but elsewhere seamy.

You had everything, old top
Everything except the stuff.
