fans will have Their first chance to
get a glimpse Of their International
| League champions tomorrow after
noon at 3 o'clock. Manager Cornelius
McGillicuddy, of the Philadelphia
Athletics, champion of the world, has
been training his blue ribbon hold
ers for two months just to wrest
away the class Al title from the Benz
gals. Connie generally brings along
his best lineup in the spring, and It
would be no surprise II the full
worlds series lineup started the game
for the visitors. Newark fans would
! be tickled to get O. glimpse at Joe
Bush, the boy phenon, who stepped
into the limeIight by beating the
Giants in the game he pitched in the
worlds series last fall Connie likes
to be obliging and he may condescend
to the requests. Some of these Ath-
letics, who played the Baltimore
Orioles last week. think Jack Dunn
has the team this season. and as Mack
has a few shares in the Baltimore
club, they have been touting tho
Orioles as the flag winners for 1914.
Just to get even the Tigers are go-
ing out tomorrow with all of their
old time pep, to show Mack's men
just how good their chances are of
repeating.
SherrOd Smith May Work.
For the past two days the Newark
club has had Donnelly Britton, Bell,
Hall and Holmes working out at
Wiedenmayer's Park Manager Harry
Smith may decide to work one OF
these youngsters, but If he wants TO
get in right with the fans he viii put
big Sherrod Smith, the southpaw find
of the training season, on the knoll.
The Athletics, 1t is true, have no
more respect for southpaws than
they have for right-handers, but
Sherrod wants to be introduced to
must be itching to see this young
marvel. Sherrod is a wizard, and
even IL he fails to keep the Athletics
from piling up runs he has all of the
earmarks of a future great. He is
bound to cut a wide swath in tie
International League this season.
I Tigers Work Out.
: The Tigers were idle yesterday,
7 thanks to an open date in the sched-
ule; that is, they were idle so far az
: a game was concerned. S/6ut Eddio
Zimmerman proved h&rd tastgmas-
= ter. He got permission to take the
s boys out to the Senator's park in the
e afternoon and they bumped the pill
around for some really valuable HIT
! ting practise.
e The Senators are on the way TO
! Cincinnati, to meet the Reds, and
Clark Griffith took his best men along
TO beat his old team in Porkopolis.
For that reason the II gers may clean
up the field this afternoon with the
remnants left behind with Germany

Final Game of Trip Today.
The game here today is the final
of the exhibition tour. So far the
Tigers have won one game and lost
seven, but the spring cruise will soon
be forgotten If the Tigers put on the

Tigers prefer to sleep in a hotel bed
rather than in a Pullman berth. The

until the SEASON opens.

Next week an exhibition tour win
be made through the New York Stats
