Ready to Begin Work.
I'm ready to get right down to it,
Mike, whenever you give the word
Morgan remarked when he alighted
from the train. I'm not SO much over
weight at that. and a week of good,
hard work in the gymnasium ought to
put me in good shape. I've been doing
little work by myself for the past
few days
Morgan is keen for the start of the
practice, and thinks he should have a
good year if everything breaks right.
Mike Martin stated that he started
Morgan in the gymnasium early this
morning. He has a bunch of work
mapped out for him, consisting of
ght-pulling. medicine-ball stuff and
little of everything thrown in. The
good old way of bundling up in sweat
ers and running it off will be resorted
to with consistent regularity. Martin
stated that there wouldn't be much
trouble in getting the second sacker in
lighting form.

OFFER FOR BREsNAHAN.
Weeghman Willing to Pay $4,000
to Settle Managers Claim.
At the Sign Of the Moon.

CHICAGO. March Roger Bresna-
han and Charles Weeghman discussed
yesterday terms under which the form
er's contract with the Chicago Nation
ais could be abrogated and made the
former manager an offer to which Bres-
nahan said he would return an answer
today. Neither would say what the
offer was.
Bresnahan's contract with the Cubs
calls for an annual salary of $4,000
and has two seasons to run. 1t was
said that Mr.. Weeghman offered him
yesterday $4,000 in lump and his I'M
conditional release with the understand
ing that Bresnahan would surrender his
claim to any further amount.
1t is believed here that Bresnahan
has virtually arranged to take over the
Cleveland Association Club and trans
fer it to Toledo, and that an agreement
between him and Mr.. Weeghman will
be reached today.

better from a physical standpoint than
he has at any time since he has been
with the Nationals. and there is hope
of his finally rounding into real
pitcher.
Harry Harper has grown fully three
inches taller and is in good physical
condition. Jack BENTLEY looks as if
he was ready to pitch. In fact. there
is no one in the party who is not look
ing impressive.
Nick Altrock was much impressed
with Jim Shaw. and, after looking him
over, made one of his characteristic
remarks: Him looks better balanced
now that he has some lead in his
head"
Joe Boehling looks more like he was
fit now than he did at any time last
season. He is at least ten pounds
lighter, and this should help him to
be able to do much improved work on
the rubber.
Manager Griffith was much pleased
with the way his young players ap-
peared. They all seem ready to get
down to business and there is very
little overweight in sight.

kauf MAJ go through with his threat
not to play. but the New York club
will go through the season just the
same. while Benn.- will be the only
sufferer. His demand for ten thou
sand dollar bonus is absurd. when
players of the ability of Iris Speaker
are not growing about standing an
eight thousand dollar cut.
Bresnahan and Weeghman have not
yet come to an understanding as to
the two-year contract which Roger
holds with the Chicago club. This
agreement calls for n salary of $4,000
a season. or. in other words, is worth
$4,000 to Bresnahan. But it seems
that Weeghman wants to make some
sort of compromise with Bresna-
han whereby he will save something
like half of the amount due the former
manager. and that is the cause Of the
hitch between the two. =
Bresnahan will no doubt eventually
become the manager and part owner Of
the Toledo American Association club
the Cleveland Association franchise
being transferred there Bresnahan,
however. wants to get all the money
possible out Of his contract from the
Chicago club before he closes the deal
for the Toledo proposition.
Toledo under Bresnahans manage
ment is sure to prove a profitable I'M
dertaking. for Toledo Is Bresnahan's
home, and in addition to the strength
that his presence on the team will make
| he will also be very popular with the
| fans of that city. ..
Just how 1t can be determined that
| Willard is not training as much for
Moran as he did for Jack johnson at
| this stage of his preliminary work is
| not clear. Willard has virtually lust
| started to prepare himself for the COM
ing bout, and it would be foolhardy to
put on more work than is calculated to
benefit him. In due time the big cham
pion will be setting a training pace.
and is pretty sure to be in prime con-
dition by the time March % rolls

Moran, on the other hand, has been
/ training for several weeks. and is, of
course. better fitted to do the most
strenuous work. which Willard will
avoid for a week or ten days longer

the fighters not being on edge when
the bell rings for their match. The
training of both is for ten-round
match. for it cannot last longer, hence
they would not train ON the same prin-
ciples if fight to a finish was con-
templated.
That Harry Sinclair did not break
even in his Federal League venture. but
practically lost $4,000, is the opinion
of Joe villa of the New York Evening
Sun. who presents the following figures
to substantiate his claim:
When the Feds made peace with
magnates believe that he would buy
ball club. But several insiders pre-
dicted that Sinclair wouldn't invest a
dollar in base ball property and'' that
enough Fed players to cover his losses.
Sinclair dropped $4,000 in his Newark
venture He burned up. $4,000 in
keeping SGT Sth ao Fed clubs aliys He re-
kauff. Rariden. Anderson and Rousch;
$22,500 from the Yankees for Magee.
also $4,000 from the same club for
Coullop and Gedeon; $500 from the
from the Cubs for Seaton and $4,000
from the Pirates for Moran; total,
100000. From all accounts. therefore,
Sinclair will pocket a loss of about
$OV.VVV, "hlSH 10 Inc price Oh d Sdu CA-
perience. The oil man. according to
base ball men,. will make no more bids
for major league franchises"
Ty. Cobb will be the highest salaried
player in base ball the coming season.
Because of his loyalty to organized base
ball during the recent battle with the
Feds. Cobb will continue to draw
$4,000 during the coming season, when
he completes his three-year contract at
that figure. Iris Speaker drew $l6,5OO
during the season of 1914 and 1915, but
he has just signed for half that
amount. The chances are that if Cobb
plays as well next season as he did
last he will continue at his present SAL
airy. Speaker threatened to leap to the
Feds unless his demands were acceded
to by the Red Sox. but Cobb never made
any effort to desert the Detroit club
and as result he is to be rewarded.
