PICKS TEAMS-GOSSIP
The Cubs Practice Behind
Locked Gates.

Manager EVerS made a mo-
mentous decision yesterday when
he divided his team into two
squads for a practice game. Al
Bridwell was put at short for the
regulars, and Schultz, Mitchell
and Clymer were in the outfeld.
The rest of the veterans lined up
as last year. These choices are
not permanent, but the new man
ager intimated the men selected
had shown the best form so far.
Bridwell and Corriden have
been making a hot fight for the
short position, and the veteran
has done the best work. His tenn
peramental legs are standing the
strain we'll, and Bird believes they
will carry him through the com i.
ing campaign.
A short practice game between
the regulars and yanigans was
won by the former, 2 to O. All
the runs were secured off Reul-
bach. Painter pitched good ball.
Roger Bresnahan was behind the
bat for the regulars, and shot a
couple of runners dead when they
tried to steal second.
Practice was behind closed
gates. This was done to boost
receipts when game is played
and the public is soaked for ad-
mission. {
Tomorrow winds up the work
of the White Sox in Paso Robes.
and Manager Callagan will di-
vide his players into two squads
for the trip homeward. Oakland,

The commissioner believes that
there are several reasons why cars

these reasons. Is the pay enter" sys-
tenn, which appeals to passengers to
get of at the front OF the car. The
front of the car. under the present
