Jimmie Sheckard put his Cleveland
Scouts through two lively workouts
yesterday down at Muckalee park. The
sun smiled on the morning practice
and. the boys got good workout, but
the afternoon session was hampered
by a cold wind that blew across the
field and kept the players shivering in
it's blasts. The Cleveland boys will
take days rest today and spend the
time seeing the sights of Americas and
the neighboring country. But bright
and early Monday morning they viii
again jump into harness and work all
the harder.
The arrival of Jay Kirke, the heavy
hitting outfielder that Atlanta tried SO
hard to get last year from Boston,
brought the total of players in camp up
to % on yesterday. Kirke has been
playing ball all winter down in New
Orleans and is in mid-season shape
right now.
The daily practices so far have con-
sisted of little but batting practice,
warming up of pitchers, and tossing
the ball from one to another. But the
work of next week will pick up and be-
fore Saturday rolls around the fans
will get to see the boys play short
games among themselves. Then when
the Muckalee recruits arrive there will
be games between them and then la
ter will come the sure enough big
league exhibition games.
Judging from the looks of the boys
that Jimmie Sheckard has corralled,

BOB DASHER To
HEAD vALDOSTA
BASEBALL CLUB

Valdosta, Ga, March Especial -
The baseball banquet at the Valdes
hotel last night was a success n
every sense of the word, especially
so far as it related to the organiza-
ton of the Valdosta Baseball asso-
citation.
That was the prime object of the
supper. 1t was to draw together as
many of the baseball fans as possib le
to take hand in organizing the as
sociation.
The organization was effected with
the election of Mr.. ]. R. Dasher as
president; W. NJ. Oliver, vice presi-
dent and board of directors as fol-
lows; Charles F. Clark, w. B. Cana
ley, w. A. Pardee, W. NJ. Oliver and
]. r. Dasher.
The board of directors had a meet
ing this morning and decided to get
busy at once raising $4,000 to put
into the baseball association. The
money is to be raised by tomorrow
night. A committee is out this
morning soliciting subscriptions and
it is understood that they met every
possible encouragement.
The board of directors will decide
this afternoon where the grounds are
to be located for the coming season
and they will also decide upon some
improvements. There has been d
good deal of talk about having the
games at the fair grounds, but this
has not been definitely decided It
Will be decided, however, today or
Monday.
The board of directors will also
elect secretary and put everything
in good condition for the opening of
the season at the tide advertised.
Over $500 was raised last night
for the team.
Messrs. Clark, Conoley and Pardee,
the new directors, in addition to the
president and vice president, are en-
thusiastis baseball fans and they be-
lieve that the coming season will be
much more successful than that of
last year.

IN addition to these four vets it rs

boy is going to return to Americas in
cese he fails to land with the Hart

have around in any old bali park and
Dave CASTOR know it. CASTOR will stop
over in Macon and see the Lad on his
way to Americas. Chancey does not
want to report to the New England

the Cleveland team is going to become
a contender for the American associa-
ton rag. They all look good to us
fans. Every single one of them looks
and acts like ball player.
Most of the pitchers with Sheckard
are ready to jump into a regular nine
inning game today, if necessary. These
boys have been in training for several
weeks down in New Orleans and al
ready have the kinks out of their arms.
The rest of the team will round to
slowly, but when they once do get
started therell be some class displayed
on the local field.
Sheckard has several men trying out
for every place on the team with the
exception of two infield places. Harvey
Bluhm and Earl Gardner, first and sec
and basemen, are the only two that
have their places cinched.
We do not envy Sheckard his job in
the least. He must pick team from
a bunch of boys all of whom look good
to us. How on earth he will ever man
age to have the heart to turn any OF
them loose is more than we can IN
derstand. Every single man looks
good. Especially is this true of the
outfelders and the pitchers We're
glad it's his task and not ours.

invited to see them. Training hours
run from 10 to 1870 in the morning
and from 2 to 2: 80 in the afternoons.

Why Spain Laos Behind.

In thousands of villages and small
towns in the interior of Spain no one
knows how to read or write. There
are in Spain 10000 rural villages with
out schools Of any kind and many
thousands which can be reached only
by bride path, there being no high
roads or railway communication Of
any kind. Attendance at board schools
is voluntary, not obligatory. Seventy
six per cent. of the children in Spain
are illiterate, and this is especially
noticeable in the capital.

WANTS ATHLETICS TO
COUNT FOR DECREE

Cambridge, March THE labors o.
managers of the football, track,
hockey and baseball teams, and tn ,
rowing squads will count for half +
course toward a college degree al
Harvard, if the recommendation of
William F. Garcelon, recently grad
uate treasurer of athletics, is adopted.
Garcelon's suggestion is set forth in
his report for the year, just made pub
lie here.
The total receipts from all athletic
sports in the year was $1555,553, &C
cording to the report, while the ex-
penses were $124,93O. The balance,
about 100000, was $4,000 in excess OF
the net proceeds of the previous year.
AS usual, the greater portion of the
profit was from football, amounting
to $4,000 out of receipts of nearly
$115,OO0. In the previous year the
net receipts were $4,000 from this
sport Baseball showed a balance on
the right side of $1,000, as against $4,-
900 In the year before.
Track athletics netted a loss of ST.
O00 The cost of rowing, which yields
no cash return, was $4,000. Hockey,
after year as a major sport, re-
turned a profit of 800. Each of the
minor sports showed a deficit.
