A radical chafigs M vne ptans for.
THE spring training 4fr1p OK The. It4erx
was announced.at the 'Navin fields Oh
fees today. Veterans Moriarty, Stan
age, Dubuc. Dauss and Bush will be
sent to Hot Springs. Ark. the middle
OF this month and will remain there
until the end OF the first week In
March, when they will report at Gulf
(. port with the second squad.
According to the announcement
earlier In the week .Stanage. Dauss,
( Dubuc and Bush were to- go toAGulf-
port with the first squad, which leaves
for the south Feb. q. RED" Mckee
viii take the place OF Stanage In the
hrst squad, giving the young pitchers
who will report early Mcclure, Nc
Kee and Recruits Yelle and Peters 10
pitch to during the arst week OF camp
life.
The veterans who are scheduled for
tho Hot Springs. trip have been or
|dored TO reach the spa about Feb. Is.
There u no particular reason for the
change IN plans, except to give the
players affected q chance to drop some
avordupois by aid Of the baths and o
little longer limbering up perioS than
Has &C frst decided upon. The pen
|nont chances Of the Tigers depend
LARGELY upon return TO old form by
Dauss and Duhuc. II. Dubuc has an
other 1912 season next summer, and
Donss repeats his success OF 1918.
|sold Manager Jennings, while In De-
troll last week, the Bengals have q
op1endid chance to grab the bunting.
That prediction, OF course, Is also
based on the probability OF Coveleskie
reDeating his last years performance.
9tnnage is within seven or eight
pounds Of playing weight, which Is
not bad for person OF his heft, but
= long training season has always
been to his liking, and little boiling
@out win not do him any harm. DOME
.Bush Is complaining of a bad knee and
he will probably benefit by the change
An plans more than any other OF the
Hot Springs quintet. Moriarty Is still
|pIayer enough to hold HIS job against
all corners, but he Is now veteran
III every sense OF the word. and, like
most OF the old heads, can extend the
jofnt.loosening period without danger
|of growing stale

AND STILL PITCHES
a new claimant TO lion Man Nc

Feman, OF Bellevue. Mich. writes in
the information that he has been
'pitching "Old SAL for 80 years and
that he can still make the horsehide
pellet behave mysteriously despite his
three score years. Mr.. Feman writes:
II wish to correct the statement
headed Iron Man McGinnity creator
'0f Old SAL
"Joe may have and probably did In
vent the delivery or that peculiar ball.
Is Ear as he Is concerned, but he could
moi get patent on II to save his
,1ife. for the reason I used that par
.ffcular curve and shoot combined
more than 80 years ago. As ! deliver
the ball 1t takes an upshoot and an
in-curve at the same time. have
never yet seen the delivery solved by
any batter and do not believe 1t pos
Sible to do 80.
1T Is easy on the arm OF one who
has natural underhand delivery, and
not hard to control Now 1t IL up to
me to prove that ! am not nature
.faker.
q Il am well on toward so years old.
OF young, but have thrown that par
ficular ball and its mate, down AND
out-curve, underhand at least once
each year for 80 years, and expect
when the sun warns this good OLD
earth to the proper temperature to

1ish out that old ball, slip out behind
the barn and slam curves into the
straw stack.
NOW, Mr.. Editor, IL you are from
Missouri, come out to my little farm
NEXT summer, when the days get long
land warm, and be sure and bring
along . mask. protector and mitt.
