WEEK OF EXODUS
Sox and Cubs Start on Train
ing Trips.
Brown and Zimmerman Are
Still HoIdouts.

Chicago, Feb. 27.@This week is en-
titled exodus. The White Sox, in
charge of President Comiskey him
self, will depart on Thursday night
for the Waco training camp. there to
be welcomed by Manager Jim Gala
han and his small squad of hopefuls.
Two days later the Cubs. led by
Treasurer or Secretary Charley Will
liams will set out for New Orleans
and will probably be greeted there
by Manager Frank Chance and that
portion of the team that has wintered
in the south.
The special train that takes the
Sox to Texas will have aboard 1t most
of the city champions. others are to
be picked up on the way Doc White
who is here to fill a couple of brief
vaudeville engagements, has been
granted a few days leave of absence
He won't accompany his mates, but
will follow them early next week
Sox fans on the whole are in a
cOntented frame of mind It's differ
ent with followers of the Cubs The
train for New Orleans isn't likely to
! be honored by the presence of Nor
decai Brown and it is doubtful that
Eeine Zimmerman will be on 1t.
The Zimmerman case isn't taken as
seriously as Browns. Heine has held
out before He failed to report on
time in 1910, but came to New Or
leans q few days behind the rest. and
when he discovered that Manager
Chance was not in a trifling mood
signed For some reason or other no
one appears to be paying much atten-
ton to Heine'S threat to quit the game
and go into business. Zimmerman
and business don't rhyme nor har-
monte If the slugging infie1der fails
to show up by train time his pals will
expect him later on. His present at
titude is likely to prove expensive in
stead of profita BILE.
The outcome of the Brown contro-
versy or misunderstanding, or what
ever it is, is hard to prophesy. Even
If the famous rescuer fails to go into
business, according to his program,
the chances are against his pitching
for the Cubs unless new contract is
sent him. It's up to either the club
or Brownie himself to backwater and
Brown doesn't seem to have any in
tention of doing so.

PLANS no WIN OUT.
Southwestern Prepares Strong Bid for
Track Owners.

Winfield. Kan, Feb. 27=From all
indications Southwestern Is going to
be able to make a strong bid for state
wide honors IN track work this spring.
The team will be an all around set of
veterans, for the men of past years
have been reinforced by q number of
high school track stars Of the first
magnitude. Their records place them
among the best in the state. The ag-
gregatfon this year will be the strong
est Purple track team ever sent out.
In the short dashes, the 100 and
22O, there are Paul Helt. graduate of
terSch elastic record OF 10:1-5, Lear,
Stafford H. S. IL and Fisher a vet
eran who has even cutstripped the
fast Helt- Other men who are work
ing out for the dashes are: Hodges,
Gardner, Bacon and Rutledge. From
this list of seven a relay team can be
picked that can lead any field In
the half mile and mile, kanaga, Beal,
Bacon and r. Davis are showing good
form; the latter will handle the two
mile also. In the high jump, Hodges,
B1ackwelder and Zeigler seem to be
best; while in Fisher, Hodges and
Helt the Mound builders have & won
derful trio of broad jumpers
A number of men are working out
on the pole vault Kanaga and Lear
who have been practicing diligently
on the shift are leading. Since the
hammer throw is to be eliminated
this season because of its danger, a
javeIin will probably be ordered. At
the shot put. Zeigler and Lindley
are heaving the weight the farthest;
while Nichols and Fisher lead the
hurdlers- Men who want q track let
ter have been working for two or
three weeks and the work will be
pushed hard after basketball closes,
March 2.
A preliminary tryout will likely be
held. Feb. &c. Exchange dates have
been secured with Blackwell Other
dates will be closed soon. A quad
rangular will likely be formed with
Chillocco, Friends and Paramount In
any case the latter will be encount-

Athletics is virtually assured. Mana
gers McGraw of the Giants and Con-
ME Mack of the Athletics met here
today and as both expressed them
selves in favor of having their teams
meet again there is every prospect of
the arrangements being perfected in
the near future. The contests will
hardly take on the importance of an
other worlds series because the full
strength of neither team will be
brought out. Both managers consider
that would be too great a risk.
The games will be played in San
Antonio on dates to be mutually
agreed on later.
