BY II. w. LANIGAN. Press Representative the Arlington and Eastman Hotels

and Eastman Hotels,
 Weather permitting, and it has been clear and fairly bright in Hot Springs all week, despite the fact thaI there has been bodies of snow Throughout west, east, north and south, Manager Carrigan will give the Red Sox squad it's first workout of the practice season at Majestic Park this morning.
 The session is carded to commence at II o'clock and last until 1 or 1:30 That is the daily program announced by Carrigan on all such days as old Sol is oa duty. The players will hike out to the yard and back again, a distance of some two and one-hali miles each way. They will combine roadwork with the active practice and Carrigan has already let it be known that it is his opinion that the ball field is the proper place to teach baseball and find out who's who and whats what with his squad
 Only when the weather misbehaves. and the players cannot get into ac. ton cn the South End green, will Carrigan send them over the mona- tains The ogerweights, of course. will be ordered to do a lot of hiking, but with Ray Collins and Dutch Leon. ard reporting at close to playing weight it is extremely doubtful ie the camp is going to have a single pudgy member So the lions snare of the Red Sox's early work will be done on the ball field.
 Carrigan in company with Wagner, walked out to Majestic Park after luncheon yesterday. The Boston skip, pec heard a few weeks ago that the green was in miserable condition and that he would go dippy when he in spected it. The Red Sex's spring home has long been rated the best one of them all in all Southland and CaFrigan reports it is every bit as even and as fast" as 1t was thja time a year ago.
 "The field is in good shape and the diamond will be as good as ever just as soon as we tear it up a little and if gets relied few times stated Carrigan after dinner at the Hotc Eastman last night This makes me feel better, as I had been led 10 be. lieve that the park was completely ruined in the big fire last August and that the new turf had not come up.
 Majestic Park is ready for us and if it remains clear I will give the boys their first work out of the season tomorrow. We will get into action at II o'clock and work during the noon hours so as to get the full benefit of the heat of midday"
 Catcher Ched Thomas arrived from that dear Medicine Lodge Kan, early in the afternoon. He is the sixteenth member of the qsuad to report The crack young catcher got a royal wei come from all his pals on the team lie evidently took the best of care of himself all winter as he has bare ly five pounds of superfiuous flesh Co take off.
 The Red SOx will again bathe a the Buckstaff. The Hotel Eastman management has spent $50000 re building it's old bath house since last spring and it is as good as the best in the Spa But Carrigan has pat. termed after Stahl in selecting the Buckstaff, for the most excellent req son that when the Pittsburg Pirates come to town there would not be enough tubs or enough attendants to go around, as the two teams come scampering into the hotel at about the same hour each afternoon and the delegation of from so 10 90 play CTS could not be properly handled under one roof
