Another Dixie town wants the Climb
ers. Greenville. S. c.. today entered
the lists, a representative of ]. Thomas
Arnold, a prominent business man of
Greenville, calling upon Manager Grif-
fifth with a handsome offer.
Arnold points out the climatic beauties
of Greenville and the presence of an
admirable hotel. The Climbers might
use the inclosed playing field of the
Greenville Club. 1t has a skin diamond,
its only drawback. The park Is three
quarters of a mile from the hotel.
Greenville is 800 miles from Washing
ton, a nights ride over the Southern
railway.
Manager Griffith is undecided Just
what he will do about this training
quarters He received a number of let
tiers today from parties in Charlottes-
Vile, but nothing definite was said in
them about the conditions in the Vir-
ginia college town.

signing his contract now.'' said the
manager to the writer. He'll bring it
up with him when he reports for
spring practice. He's a bit super
stitious about signing a contract in the
winter, l guess, and prefers to talk II
over first before putting his name to II.
When Milan joins the squad at the
training camp, we have a talk, lust as
we did last year. / haven't any doubts
OF his signing without much discus
sion"

In letter to the writer the Linden
lad says he is anxious for the season

nth the palm for hunting stories after
reading about that devastating stunt
