Chicago, Sept. THE new cron Of

!lahlng d pretty respectable showing
~ iast company, and there is a good
~ crop or those who are likely to be
INJURIES, If not already that. Scouts
n managers deplore the great lack
OF timber in the bushes, and with
some or these newcomers it may be a
case of taking them or nothing. Yet
the proportion Of those who are stick
ing n making their presence felt ia
fairly large.
Among this number a prominent
one Is Dubuc. the Detroit pitcher, al
snoush he a been in the big leagues

drlited back to the minors between so.

on their toes and send them into a
worlds series in good shape.
My team is fielding we'll again and
the hitting has improved. In fact. the
Giants have got their second wind.
and I am confident they will breeze
right along now. We have had more
than share Of bad breaks and bad
baseball. Charley .Tesreau has de-
veloped into a great man for u.s.. and
l look for Ames to come strong, as he
always does in the fall. Marquard will
improve. too. as cooler weather comes
on. Matty can always be depended on.
1t makes me laugh to read that own
ers and managers of the seven other
National league clubs would prefer to
see the Cubs win the pennant because
they would be stronger in n worlds
series. o cannot go behind the ar
gument that We have won the most
games. We outclassed the field in the
first two months Of the season, and
we are going to show them some speed
this fall.
The Cubs nave beaten us with n
pitcher who has not had much sue
cess against other teams. We have
Knocked out all their other pitchers
repeatedly. So ! fail to see where they
come in to proclaim themselves the
team hat is best fitted to represent the
National league in ii worlds series.

It 10 not my style nor one of my

that I think they have an excellent
chance to play the White Sox for the
championship Of Chicago this fall.
When we win the pennant I will
make my claim. The Cubs played
their best ball at a time when the
Giants were rather stale from their
protracted sprint Of the first two
months. There was a time that
I didn't think my team would stand
the test of a close race and play good
ball In a pinch.

TRAINING CAMP
Managers Of Big League Teams
Differ on Question.
Some Like Quiet Places Where There
10 Little to Divert Attention Of
Players From Their Work.
Others Favor Big Cities.

What constitutes an ideal training
camp for big league baseball teams?
Big league managers and players DIFF
fer in their opinions. Some like the
quiet places, where there is nothing
to take the thoughts Of the players OF
their work. Others like the big towns,
where there are advertisements to
break the monotony of training. Some
also prefer the big towns because
more money Is taken in at the gate.
Some managers like to change every
year, SO their players will get a change
of scene. Many prefer a spot where
the athletes may imbibe freely Of
mineral waters.
In the latter class are the managers
of at least fve-Fred Clarke Of Pitts
burg. Bill Dahlen Of Brooklyn, "Red"
Doom of Philadelphia and Jimmy Nc
Aleer of Boston. OF the five, all but
New York have picked Hot Springs,
while the Giants have trained at Mar
lin, Texas, for several seasons. The
fact that the Giants and Pirates have
been contenders for the pennant all
the time they have trained at health
resorts speaks we'll for their system.
The Boston and Chicago Americans
are the two clubs that have made cir
cus trips Of their training tours. Co.
miskey several times took his squad
to the coast and once to Mexico, while
the Red Sox twice went to California.
Neither team obtained good results.
In the opinion of Nap Lajoie. a
training camp combining the good
qualities Of Alexandria, La. and Ma
con, Ca, would be the ideal place.
Alexandria has the climate, the water
and the hotel, but it lacks population
and a good baseball diamond. The
latter fault could be rectified. however,
by the sending Of a groundkeeper
ahead of the team to get things in
shape. But the town is small and
lacks amusements. Consequently the
players got mighty tired of it in a
week or so. and their work seemed
unusually onerous, especially as Man
ager Mcclure was a stickler for that
old old-style plan of having the play
ers walk some eight miles a day in adj
dition to their double workout. Again,
1t was a case of "all going out and
nothing coming in" as the gate re-
ceipts at Alexandria were practically
nothing.
Now. Macon has an even better eli
mate-that is, from a training stand
point-in that it does not get so ex-
tremely warm. Macon also is a much
larger city, but unfortunately it lacks
as good a hotel as is wanted by the
big league clubs, who insist on the
best.
