hachie aas not enough TO satisfy
~. J. Finn. scout for the Detroit
Tigers. and he came back again
Thursday night and spent the
morning here Friday quietly going
ever the situation with reference to
making this training quarters for
the bali club. To a representative
Of the Light be admitted that he
was not 50 favorably impressed
without studying the situation. but
it's q different story he will tell the
management of the team now. To
make . long story short Waxa-
haehic looks good TO Scout Finn
and he will recommend that the
Tigers come here in preference to
going TO San Antonio. In the first
place he likes a smaller town bet
ter than he does the larger places,
and second he don't like the idea
Of going / 0 a town where two mai
or league teams have tried out and
given il up as q dad job"
After going over the matter
Thoroughly yesterday. anaiyzing the
proposed plan OF putting up a club
house AZ the down town park and
making connections with the hot
water wells. Mr. Finn decided that
ii would be a much better plan 10
rrange bathing accommodations in
the basement OF the hotel and let
them do their bathing there
This Kind of an arrangement was
perfectly satisfactory TO Manager
Harrison. and 1t is cry probable
that II will be adopted IL the club
comes here 10 train.
One of the attractive points that
appeal most TO the scout was the
fact that waxahachie is most ideal
Is located with reference TO the
larger towns, and ii would be pos
slble to jump ont Of here and play
exhibition games in any of the Tex
as league towns and be back again
al night. He made sure of this by
going into Dallas nd comforting
With Joe Gardner OF the Dallas
can and the management OF the
Fort Worth team. In event the
I,etroftera should come 10 Naxa-
hachie they would expect to play
exhibition games with Dallas, Fort
Worth. Waco. Houston and San
Antonio. aud he likewise mentioned
the fact that he would have a
chance to work out with the Trim
.ity University team.
In discussing the matter as q
coed proposition for W~axahachie
Mr.. Finn said the Detroit team
made ii a practice to go into train
ing quarters for the purpose OF
training and thai they remained on
the job from early in March until
the season opens about April IL.
This. be said, would keep the team
here for about five or six weeks.
Mr.. Finn was not content with
his second visit % he came back
again last night aud took a third
look at the place. When a Light
representative proposed that he
just leave bis baggage here until
next spring when the team would
be down to start their training ht
said il might be a good idea e
take ii along because he didn'i
know what the management Of the
cInb would think of his reeommen-
dations, but he said enough TO con.
vince ITS that be will recomment
/ Waxahachie. He was exceptionally
veil pleased with the mineral wat
CIR and pure drinking water from
the ~artesian wells. He believes
there Is a whole lot Of good in bo'
mineral baths during training sea
son and would like to try the Wax
/ ahaebie water out In limberiBg W
Try cobb and his team mates beior'
starting next eeason
The agitation Of bringing tn
| Tigers here to train Is already hay
ing 4 good effect on local fans
aore than one have expressed them
selves as believing the Tigers vii
bc peanaut winner this present sea
sou and IL they come here &
train there viii be 80 doubt abou
them winning uext year.
