Frank Allen. Pat Ragon, Tex Erwin.

TOURISTS BELIEVE
FEDS HAVE CHANCE
Speaker, Crawford, Wingo, and
DooIan Holding Out Till
They See the Money.

PARIS. Feb. 22-Tris Speaker. Sam
Crawford, ivy Wingo, and Mike Doolan
are all holding out until they have a
chance to see the color of the Federal
Leagues money, and it seems altogether
possible that the quartet will be found
in the ranks of the outlaws. Since he
received a cablegram from Jake Stahl.
Speaker has become an ardent booster
for the baby league. Only yesterday
he got into g heated argument with
Jimmy Callahan over the merits OF the
case. Speaker contAhded that the new
league has every right in the world 10
do business in opposition TO the organ
lied baseball. and Callahan TIED TO
stand up for his employers. Speaker
appeared to have much the better OF
the argument, which left Cal feeling
somewhat abashed.
James McAleer, John McGraw, ard
Callahan all have received commissions
from the National and American League
owners to sign the players on the tour.
but a more independent buncl OF dia-
mond stars never was brought tt gether
than this one. Speaker. Crawford,
DOolan, and several more 20 FAR have
laughed at the efforts of the contracting
parties Every one of the touring party
realizes that his services have increased
in worth many times, and II is a sure
proposition that there will be no con-
tracts signed until the party lands in
New York.
Samuel Crawford made definite
statement today as to his standing. He
said that he was after the money. and
that the outfit that could show him tle
most cash would get his signature.
Crawford is beginning to believe in the

! in the majors.
Practically all of the managers are
now living up strictly to the early ris-
irg hour and in this regard there is no
one who is more particular than Clark
Griffith. Eight o'clock is the usual hour
when everybody in the party is called
by telephone and. within half an hour,
yoU may finu the whole collection of
players in the dining room, taking as
part of their breakfast the roasts or
boosts from the papers on the proceed
Ing days game.
An institution of which the public
knows little is the club meeting every
! morning. The general impression is
that a player has the whole day to
himself. when he is not at the park
but this is false, as all hands are COM
PEELED to report at 10 o'clock in the
morning. At this conference-in the
room of the manager when on the road
all the mistakes of the previous day
are debated and means for the coming
AFTERNOON are outlined. The change OF
a pitcher might mean the shift Of the
whole plan of battle. Every weakness
and strong point of opposing bntters are
taken up. and the line of offensive and
defensive play is outlined at this secret
meeting of the players. Clark Griffith
presides when the Nationals assemble,
of changes and switches from Herman
Schaefer and others of the older heads
who are around with ideas as to how
to cross the opposition.
The club meeting so breaks the interim
between breakfast and lunch that the
players usually remain around the
hotel, although some have habit of
taking short walk before all report at
noon. Ball players are pretty healthy
eaters. but experience has taught them
to partake of but light luncheons Cold
meats. ice cream. some iced drink or
some equally as slight a repast usually
satisfied them.
One-thirty is the most popular time
to start for the park. practically every
player preferring to be at the grounds
in plenty of time for informal practice
before the gong clangs Until the past
few seasons the whole squad had to
pile into a carry-all. after dressing at
the hotel. But both leagues now have
rules that compel each club to furnish
dressing room for visitors. These
rooms are separate from those occupied
by the home players. and there is no
trouble over uniforms. as these are
shipped direct from the park in which
the club last performed.

Some Snapshots Gathered From Richmond Alleys

RICHMOND. Feb. %. - Sardonical
smiles could be read on the face Of
nearly every Washington bowler when
they inspected the scores which had

Richmond teams previous TO the arriva!

For instance, the highest team total
registered on the bul etin board was
that of the MeropOlitanS, of Balti-
