Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 9.-Dis-
gusted indeed are the players of the Red
Sox camp. Up to yesterday they didn't
have a chance to engage in a game with
Pittsburgh for three days, and in conse-
quence the conditioning is very back
ward. On top of this the bad news that
the series with Cincinnati April 1, ) and
had been declared off added to the fu-
nereal aspect Of the camp The Boston
club had hoped for much value from the
series with the Reds, for they are a
good lively club. The two clubs also
hoped to get financial benefit from the
short series, as the Red Sox, as world
champions, should be able to attract a
big crowd to Redland Field.
President McAleer and Manager Stahl
have about made up their minds to stay
in Hot Springs until Sunday, when they
will depart for the east. It's no use go
ing on with the two games with the Uni
versity of Illinois, which were to be play
ed Wednesday and Thursday, April 2 and
5. The best thing to do is to stay at Hot
Springs and play as many games as pos
sible next week. Manager Fred Clarke
of the Pirates has intimated that he
would be glad to stay here until next
to continue the series until April or )
it will be fine and dandy for everybody,
including the hotels and local business.
The Fed Sox squad has been cut down
whispered that others are to go. Neal
Ball was purchased to take Steve YER
kes' place if the latter fell down and
also as an understudy for Wagner. He
will be given chance to play every day.
Stran~e To cav f,lyde Enrla u.n+, 70
go to the National League to play with
the tail-cnd Boston Braves, who have been
showing up very poorly. But the rea-
son for this is that Manager Stallings
Engle's brothcr-in-law. Clyde thinks he
can annex a regular position with that
club
The injury to Harold Janvrin, the boy
PLAYER of the club. has caused both Nc
A1eer and Stahl some worry. Janyrin
looked good in the ante-season games at
short stop, first base and at the bat The
injured wrist will be all right shortly
SO that Janvrin can get back into the
game.
1t doesn't look any good for Heinic
Wagner to start the season. The Red
Sox captain must go slowly with his arm
and that means that the team will be
weak in the defense at the start. Boston
is not expected home until the night of
game at Fenway Park since the Giants
were defeated for the worlds series wills
be played with Harvard University and
the following day the training season will
be closed with a game with Holy Cross.
Men who have been down to camp with
the club speak most favorably OF the
champions Bedient. it would appear, is
certain of a great season, and SO is Pinch
Hitter Olaf Hendriksen, the outfielder.
Yankees to Beat Locals.
HAMILTON, Bermuda, March 29.-For
the first time since coming to Bermuda
the Yankees were unable to practice at
all today. Intermittent showers kept the
players within doors most of the day. In
preparation for their leave-taking next
Tuesday. some of the players purchased
everything that wasn't nailed down to
take back to New York as souvenirs.
While discussing the prospects of the
team in the coming American League
race Arthur Irwin, business manager
Of the club, said that he believes the
Highlandcrs will finish third or better
and that he is willing to wager a bit
that the New Yorks will beat out Wash
ington.
1t is probable that Chance will let
Pitcher Chester Hoff and Infielder Jack
Martin go to Jersey City for further sea-
soning.
LII tie OpSibuS SdLue the ldukecS VIII
probably line up in this way: Chance,
first base; Chase, second base; Derrick.
Hartzell, third base: Wolter,
right field; Daniels center field; Cree,
left field, and Sweeney, catcher.
Light Practice for Athletics.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March D
Minus their good uniforms, bats, balls
and the other implements that go to
make a successful base ball team, the
Athletics pracuced at Shibe Park this
afternoon. When the Athletics deserted
their stalled train at Covington, Va,
Thursday night they were forced to leave
their paraphernalia behind, it being more
important that they look after them
selves. The light workout today was
the first that Capt. Murphy's regulars
had since Monday, when they played
Louisville. This game lasted only five
innings, rain spelling the scheduled plans |
So as to be in shape for the Phillies
and the spring SERIES Capt. Murphy of
the Athletics and Coach Roy Thomas of |
the University of Pennsylvania nine ar
ranged a game to take place Monday aft
ernoon at Franklin Field.
