Cobb and Crawford, who have been

Weather conditions for the past week
have been ideal,( and it is probab ab1e
that the Detroit club, satisfied with the
climate, and more than satisfied with
the arrangements that the committee
here has made, will sign a contract to
train in Waxahachie for a term of
years. The club never has had better
quarters.
All that Jennings is looking for this
spring is pitching talent. There are
men are not especially impressive
Erickson is the best looking, and prob
ably will land Marshall may do so
also. Biky Sullivan, the pitching coach,
is devoting most of his time to men
who have the stuff, but who have not
come through, like Boehler and Low
dermilk.
There will be no changes on infield
or outfield. George Maisel. a brother to

| Special Dispatch TO The Star.
! TAMPA, Fla, March 11.-Regardless
of the rules of the national commission
or the league there will be at least
twenty-five players on the Cub pay roll
this summer. When the club leaves here
the roster will approximate this total,
which means that about five players
| will get the tinware before long
Pitcher Hogg has been assigned to
Memphis regardless of the hitch in the
deal. Catcher Culbreath, the southern
collegian, will be turned over to the
minors should he show any promise as
a backstop. At any rate he will stick
with the team until Memphis is reach
ed. If he should hang on after that he
will be turned over to Peoria of the
Three l League.
George label was disappointed
player when told that he was slated
for the Los Angeles club. He figures
that the Cubs have a cinch for the PEN
nant. and he is about to commit
matrimony he figured that a slice of
the world series melon would come in
handy. Besides, he thinks he could hold
his own with the other pitchers He
went to look over his orange grove to-
day. and may start for California to-
morrow night.
With the dropping of Hogg, Wright
and label Tinker will have ten pitchers
on his staff, and Joe figured today that
he might be able to carry that number
during the season. Ben Woertz prob
ably will be left here, and it seems a

Griffith is not making any predictions
the material he has to select from, but
it is not revealing a secret to say that
he is well satisfied with the players
he has to choose from.
One reason for the fact that the Ma
tionals did not finish better than fourth
last season can be attributed to the in
field. 1t was lamentably weak at sec
ond base from start to finish. Even
though Foster played good ball there.
he would have helped more had be been
kept in his position at third. That is
where he will play this year, while a
more competent man s>sure to be at
second There is much hope for Nor
gan. lie is doing everything possible
to win the position, and he is showing
better form this spring than he did at
any time last year.
Griffith is certain to have the best
pitching staff he has carried in the last
four years. and, in addition, he will be
better fortified with catchers than he
has been. This, with improved hitting
and better spirits, may work wonders
in the showing of the team.
This ought to be Il more successful
season for Eddie Foster than he en-
joyed in 1872, when Ban johnson pro-
nounced him the greatest third base
man in the American League. Foster
now is in better condition than he has
ever been since he joined the Nationals.
BY persistent work all during the last
two months of the off season Foster
has gotten himself in prime condition,
with the result that he is showing more
speed in the playing of his position
than ever before. He weighs but 14S
pounds, and vows he will stay in the
best of fettle all through the season.
There is no denying the fact that Chic
Gandil was for four years one of the
most valuable players Griffith could
boast Of. In fact. there probably was
no better first baseman in the Amer
lean League. and yet it is not likely
he will be missed. Joe Judge is going
to become very popular with the pa
irons of the game in Washington and
around the circuit for the reason thai
he has an ideal disposition, is earnest,
gentiemanly. and possesses ability
which will surprise some of those who
think a mistake was made when Gandil
was sold.
Judge is going to prove a mighty
