one end Of the heavy manila rope fell
across the divers nose. breaking the
bridge and binding him with blood.
From the point where he chung to the
girder, the diver hung directly above the

crowd watched breathlessly, fearing
every moment his grip would relax and
he would plunge To death.

Holden continued to hang from the girder

ROBINSON SHOVELS SNOW
Works to Clean Up Grounds so
Superbas Can Practice.

Augusta, Ga, Feb. 26.-Wilbert Robin
son and his Superbas Just managed to
get out TO Warren Park for a little prac-
tice this afternoon.
Robbie, with the assistance Of a dozen
negroes and a pair Of mules. gave a fair
imitation of big Bill" Edwards. in re-
moving the snow from the outskirts Of
the field and around third base and home
plate. This enabled the players TO in
dulge in bunting and throwing the ball
and a two-mile jog around the outfield. It
is hoped that by Saturday the entire field
will be in condition for all kinds of prac-
tice.
John NJ. Ward, of the Brooklyn Fed
erals. was In Columbia, : c., to-day, ar
ranging for the use OF the grounds there
for his club. Mr. Ward. in a converse
ton over the long-distance telephone
said that It is almost certain that the
Rrooklyn Federals would do their training
at Columbia, and would report, twenty
five In number. by March 10.
The only available ball grounds In CO.

Shows Well in First Light
Practice with Giants When
Recruits Take Field
for Short Drill.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

Marlin, Tex, Feb. 26.-Sefior Emilio Pal
nero. the long awaited Cuban pitcher,
completely upset the elaborate plans for
his reception by the Mayor and leading
citizens Of Marlin by Joining the Giants
at an early hour this morning.
Palmero, who missed connections In
Houston yesterday. sat up all night in a
coach and did not get TO Marlin until
about daybreak this morning. There were
no bands or leading citizens 10 greet him
at that nour. 4 ne gro hotel porter acted
as reception committee, and the manage
ment Of the Arlington Hotel put the ex-
hausted athlete TO bed at once. He did
not arise until noon and appeared in uni
form for the first time this afternoon.
Palmero in no way resembles the aver
age Americans conception Of a Cuban.
Some of the Giants expected TO see a
black man. The new pitcher has sandy
hair. blue eyes and fair skin. He is tall
and thin and only nineteen years old
His trip from Havana to Marlin was a
disagreeable experience, he told Chief
Meyers, who acted as interpreter. He first
was seasick and then train sick. A letter
in English from one OF the Cuban base
ball writer's to Dick Kinsella helped Pal
nero out several times. He showed 1t
everywhere he went and thus worked his
way gradually TO this port.
The cold weather was another hardship
TO Palmero. The first thing the Cuban
asked for was one Of the Mackinaw

coats. Dick Kinsella found one and the
Havana boys eye glistened with pride as
he put II on. Chief Meyers loaned him a
uniform
Palmero told Meyers he was In little
need Of training, as he had been pitching
right along in the Havana League games.
He tried his arm by flinging TO the bats
men for about ten minutes this afternoon.
Palmero is left handler with nice over
hand motion and a knack for fielding
which he demonstrated later.
Another arrival to-day was Milton
Stock, the little third baseman, who got
in from New Orleans at o'clock this af-
ternoon.
In addition to a protracted batting prac-
tice, in which each OF ghe eleven pitchers
took part, Kinsella's inf1eld gave an eX-
hibition OF plain and fancy throwing and
fielding. Chief Meyers and Hickory John
son both handed the ball around with
speed and precision Picking up the
grounders were Dyer at third base,
Prieste at short, Grant at second and
Jordan at first base.
The session lasted two hours. ending
with handball and a double circuit OF the
field. Two days OF this strenuous eXer-
else has robbed some Of the youths OF
their pepper. The hot baths and the mas
saying of Mackall do much to relieve sore
muscles.
Some Of the young pitchers are greatly
disturbed over a rumor that Mike Finn,
manager Of the Memphis club. is APP
preaching Marlin. Every spring Mike
comes down here and looks the squad
over with an eye TO business. The big
league recruit somehow has a horror of
playing in the South, but Mike Finn

Abilene and its advantages in every

which there is an A. o. U. w. lodge
SO that when the grand lodge meets

men will be asked to stand the ex-
