'OST TH WORKS
 ON KEAIING'S BACK

Savannah. March 4.-The finest day the Yankees have yet encountered here was dished out by the local Weather Bureau yesterday, but as this was a. day of rest there was no baseball training.
 However, Donovan was well satis- fled to let his men rest.
 In the two weeks that the Tanks have been working out here they have not missed a working day, the only let-ups being the two Sabbaths.
 There are seevrals slightly wounded soldiers in camp, but on the whole, the troopers are rounding into condition very nicely. Bill Tamm, Bob Kelly and Paddy BauInan have lame arms, while Duke Farre1l has finger which came Into contact with one of Buster Brownss shoots, and now has every appearance of a cucumber.

 DECIDES TO GIVE UP TORONTO JOB FOR BOSTON

Macon, Ga, March I5The one big ray of sunshine to take the edge off the loss of Martin was the announce- ment from New York via President Gafney of the Braves that Fftzpat- rick, the infeIder from the Toronto club, had decided to sign up. A report had reached Macon that Fitz had re- fused to accept the terms offered him and would not join the club

to have the jump on the Charles of late and the outcome will no doubt depend upon tho result of the game between the two teams one week from Friday. The St Charles have been going back rapidly the past i've weeks and the reason why is best known to those on the inside. How ever, if they can put up the came clasr of ball they furnished during the opening weeks of the season. they win cop, but the odds are against this display.
 Moran of the same team has also decided to hang up his uniform for the present season Not that he knows his team is out of the running, but simply because he has got sick of the game That's all he has to say.

COACH NICKALLS
 DRIVES YALE FOR
 PENN CREW RAGE

New Haven Conn, March 15-Since Guy Nicka1ls, YaIes English crew coach, took charge of the Yale oars men two weeks ago he has rushed the and second eights against University of Pennsylvania. in mind. No Yale squad has before had as much out door work before mid-l1arch as this year. Nickal1s has given it an average of eight miles daily, and before the oarsrnen reach Philadelphia their daily workout will total ten miles
 Although the water has been rough and the oarsmen have therefore been compelled to pull a low stroke because of the high waves. three varsity and one freshmen eight have been on the harbor daily. Both English and Amer ican built boats have been used since sity eight will row the race at Phila- delphia. seated in a new English built shell which xNickalls personally super vised and saw built by the English ex- pert, Phelps; during January.
 The boat has just been shipped. and it's arrival is expected next week. It will be Immediately rigged and used in practice by the Yale eight a week be- fore it departs for Philadelphia.
 All the shells that are being used now. have the thole- pin rig. NickaIIs is completely committed to this and LAS II aI6 O111c49AS agree @bI1StI sII1lS SCyH0 of rig allowed Yale to get a. splendid start in the race against Harvard last year. New English oars, ordered in January from Norris, have arrived. These will be used instead of the sweeps usually ordered from Shea. of Springfield
 Indications are that Yale will be compelled to row the Pennsylvania races without the services of Henry Coe, Jr.. the most prominent candidate for stroke oar. He has been i'll at his :be-,e in New York city and Tony Morse, brother of Dick Morse. captain of the 1903 crew, is now passing back the stroke in the varsity eight.
 Coe will probably get the stroke oar position in the first eight when he re- turns and Morse be sent gack to the second boat. Chandler Bennett and Bob GiIf1Ilan, who were tried at stroke most of the time last year, had been put back in the first and second shells because of their inability to keep the stroke high.
 The varsity eight which will row Pennsylvania on the SchuyIkiII April g. will be a veteran coordination.

 Congratulation are now on tap and being offered to the Sacred Hearts, champions of the Holy Name League. It was not a wa1kaway by any means. the championship not being decided until Friday night, Three games are yet to be played but even if the St. Mary's or St. Charles should win ev- cry one of them while the Hearts are losing all three, the championship would still remain in the South End, by one game. Great credit is due manager Billy Garrity for the work he has done. At the first meeting Hearts at the request of their chap lain. When asked whom he had lined up for the season, Billy said: Lined up? Why I don't know a single bas- ketbaI player in the parish, but give me few weeks and I will dig a team up somewhere He then came along with Big Bill Lannon, a fellow named Gart1and and another unknown named Rainville. They played classy ball the first month but they soon discov- cred that the Charles were right on their heels AS the season wore on and the Hearts were unable to draw away from the Charles, Garrity thought 1t best to secure some valu- able additions. He then sprang Tom Kenny upon the fans.
 The following week he introduced the champions to the fans by making them acquainted with Russell, and Lu- .cey. From then on 1t was a fore-s gone conclusion that they would cop the honors When the members of the Sacred Heart Holy Name society are handing out the laurels they should not forget Billy Garrity. stranger in a strange land, who led their team to the top of the ladder in the first season of the Holy Name Basketball league

Frank will still hold the office of manager until his term runs out. He is dissatfs- fled with the treatment handed him the past few weeks and so decided to quit.
