Grounds.

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 3.-That the Chi
cago Cubs will make this city their

with the advantages of the location.
The big leaguers will arrive February
Is and remain thirty days.
The training camp will be located in

will be quartered. The diamond is To-
Gated in the middle Of the half-mile
race track built by the late H. B.

President Murphy is delighted with
the arrangements here and has pledged
himself 10 make Tampa the spring
training grounds of the Cubs as long
as the citizens here want him. While
here the Cubs will be the guests of the
city. the grounds will be put In ex-
ers erected. All expenses while here

OTHERS At SECOND
First Campaign Makes Him
a Favorite in Coming
Race.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. s.-Derrill Pratt.
the Alabama college boy, is expected to
lead the American Leagues second
baseman in 1913. His work last year
was SO startling for a youngster In his
first compaign under the big tent that
the fans here cannot see how he will be
distanced by any man now working in
the American League.
Pratt Is slashing hitter. a clean
fielder and daring base runner" says
Col. Bob Hedges, boss Of the Browns,
land / can see only Eddie Collins in
the same class with him now. Perhaps,
by the end of the coming season. Pratt
may have passed him In the race for
the honors at second base.
''The American League has only two
real second basemen, anyway, Collins
and Pratt. Rath, Of the White Sox, is
a bit light with the stick. Lajoie is
going back. Yerkes is only fan, though
a wicked hitter. Ray Morgan, OF wash
ington, is a promising lad. but he
hasn't reached his stride yet Louden,
of the Tigers. is a sweet fielder. that's
all. 1t narrows down to Pratt and Col
lins, and 1 think Pratt will be the best
of the lot next summer"
