Regulars Home First.

When il comes time to break camp.
and the squad divides, the regulars return
home first. to play the spring series with
the Phillies. but Connie remains with
his yanigan bunch and makes the trip
back to Philadelphia a gradual one, play
ing exhibition games en- route.
In this manner he keeps In touch with
his newer men until the last minute and
so watches them closely in competition,
when the best that is in them Is usually
brought out, and their final disposition
is a matter of Comics own choosing
entirely. II is no wonder that the men

why is 1t. Mr. Mack one OF the
newspaper men asked of Connie" one
day. you do not pay more attention to
your regular men,
Because they know what's expected
OF them. and each one knows better how
he can attain that point of physical pro-
ficiency than I do. Consequently. I do
not try to lay down any set of rules or
routine of work for them TO follow. As
long as they are ready April Is. l am
satisfied"
So answered our manager. and that Is
exactly the line he pursues. His whole
attention is centered upon his recruits
and the younger members OF the team.
When the latter are having their infield
work, he usually strolls out back OF sec
ond base. or IL the outfelders are chasing
flies. he is right out in their midst. When
ever Ira Thomas warns up a young
pitcher, Connie" always manages to get

Baker Breaks IL Up.

Last year. when We were in San An
tonic McInnis, Barry and ! used to go
of in a corner and start a separate bat
ting game. as We had to wait too long
for a turn up at the plate with the
other regulars. We had no trouble get
ting one of the new youngsters to pitch
to us. and We were doing finely. and get
ting a Let OF good practice. until the day
Baker happened to spy us. and assum-
ing that II was an infield game. naturally
decided that he belonged in il. and would
be welcomed. So he came over. 1t was
all right until he hit one back at our re-
cruit pitcher which struck the latter
amidships. and then our game was over.
The Md must have passed the word
around. because after that We never
could get any OF the Juveniles to throw
to US as long as Bake" was one OF
our number.
After the batting practice. infield work
by the regular quartet and the ysnigans
is next in order. This usually winds up
the morning work. The afternoon session
Is practically a repetition Of the morning
one. with the addition Of a game between
the yanigans and the regulars. of first
one squad and then the ether against
the local club.
These practices are not ruled With an
iron hand. On the contrary. We shift
for ourselves. and go through the daily
routine more or less as a matter OF habit.
But do not let me give the impression
that Connie Mack is not in attendance.
He is. but as Is his custom. he says
little. but thinks much, moves fast. and
sees everything.

ROUTINE FOR ATHLETICS
by EDDIE COLLINS,

When this story appears in print
nearly all of the major league
teams will have departed for points
South, to prepare for the 1914
campaign. After winter of idle
ness, that is, an absence of strenu-
GUS exercise such as characterizes
his summer routine, one might nat
urally suppose that a ball player
would look with delight upon a
journey to warm Dixieland and a
return to his favorite pastine.. But
get this erroneous idea out of your
head. The spring training trip is
not pleasure jaunt by long shot.
There is usually an atmosphere OF i'm

form the first day. but after that it's
different.
Aches. pains and general soreness of

Is not so hard.
Condition Veterans.
The idea Of spring training is, Of
course. TO condition the old players. try
out and develop others. and to whip
the team into proper shape to begin the
approaching seasons grind. The routine
OF work which Connie Mack plans for
his men 1 will try to outline.
We have two general practices daily.
morning and afternoon. The morning
session usually begins at go, and that
means everybody in uniform at that time.
Promptness is requested. because II has
been our custom to share the playing
field with the local club OF the city where
We train We have the diamond until IL:
the locals take their workout from that
hour until =, and then we start in again
and continue uutil or longer IL a game
Is in progress.
Batting generally inaugurates the
morning work. Regulars first and then
the yanigans or younger members OF the
squad take their turn up at the plate.
Pitchers, both young and old, take turns
tossing them up easily for the batters
to hit.

The eighth amendment provides
for increases In the pensions Of re-
tired or disabled members OF the IRE
department. and is clearly stated on
the ballot. II stipulates that the
chief and assistant chiefs shall re-
ceive pensions of SIS month: cap
tains. $50 amonth: lieutenants and
engineers OF apparatus. SIS per
month. and all others. $50 per
month.
Amendment No. .. reads as fol-
lows:
shall the terms OF ONCE OF the
mayor. city clerk, city treasurer. al
dermen. constables. and members OF
the board of estimates be for four
years instead Of two, as now pro-
vided by law?"
The passage of the amendment
would not AFFECT the present terms

The tenth amendment reads. on the
ballot:

putting that duty in the hands OF the
