Monroe, La, April 1-Nordecai
Brown has gained a big advantage over
several of the Federal League manag-
ers already The first glimpse of the
ST. Louis Federals in their training
camp shows that Brown is making a
wise start.
At Shreveport where l looked over
Tinker's Chicago team, the field was
cluttered up with semi-pros, minor
leaguers and real ball players. Tinker
has too many men. 1t is going to be
difficult to let them go and worse to
keep them.
The Feds owe something to every
player they try and must keep faith
with them. Brown saw this difficulty
afar off. He has chosen only sucl
men as he is certain he can use.
Tinker's team has more strength on
paper just now. Brown is in a better
technical position. He needs a second
baseman, third baseman, an outfeld
ey and a pitcher He is after them.
l was delighted with the manner in
which Brown has taken hold of mis-
team. He was Chances best assistant
while the Cubs were winning pennants.
He is much after Chances style, except
that he is less likely to fly off the
handle.
Brown has corking training quar-
ters, one of the best in the South Tin
ker has the hotel, Brown has the
grounds, the bath facilities and appli-
ances, a place to work indoors, and all
the adjuncts of real major league
