BOSTON, February 2s.-"'At q boy,

stone king and captain of the Boston

says. its that old ragged mitt that

famous glove well. as ''Cap'n john

in games when remarkable plays were
turned by the keystone king.
In Merkle's case Johnny was wearing
the old mitt in the memorable game OF
the 1908 series when Merkle pulled his
famous non-touch record at second,
which play lost the championship to the
Giants. The Cubs manager has much
cause to reflect on a certain play pulled
of by Evers on the 18th OF September
last, when Johnny ran back into center
field and pulled down a Texas Lacquer
by remarkable back-handed jumping
stab. which broke up a batting rally
and lost the game for the Chicago out

the Old Fox sent the genial muscle
member along to get the camp In readi-
ness for the members of his squad, who
are expected to report here next
Wednesday. Besides his medicine chest
the Nationals' trainer brought along a
couple of groundkeepers, who will aid
him In getting the camp in shape and
who will be put to work on the dia-
n1ond at Lambeth Field Monday morn
ing.
The first thing the trainer noticed
upon his arrival here was the weather.
He was much pleased with the condi-
tons.

bingers." he said. This is great. and
IL it keeps up you might as well rent
the gymnasium, because we can stay
outdoors all the time in weather like
this. OF course, there Is still a little
careful. but must say it looks mighty
good to start with"

Martin was busy all Saturday after
for the men who are to report next

house it used last year. The Kappa

its spacious lodge to Grifith's men,
Martin has seen a local furniture deal
err and will have the Chancellor street

for immediate use early next week
Some of the members of the fraternity
already have moved and the rest will
