card game where the limit was over 10 cents.
 Manager Fohl of the Cleveland Indians has adopted the shortest and simplest set of rules known to be in existence. Be in bed before midnight every night" is Fohrs command to his men. That is all.
 The hardest rule for any manager to en- force is regarding cigarettes Several managers have ordered their players to cut out the habit and they have rarely been obeyed. The team leaders claim that cigarettes are bad for the "batting eyes" Charlie Dooin gave such an order when he led the Phillies, and in less than half an hour every cigarette smoker on the team had broken the rule. Indeed, they appeared to take a delight in doing so. The cigarette smoker cannot understand why it is more harmful to smoke cigar cites than it is to smoke cigars.
 When George Stallings managed the Phillies the late Col John l. Rogers gave him the most elaborate set of rules for lis players ever drawn up by q magnate. They included everything from Stallings pa ying a personal visit to each players boarding house at certain intervals to see if he was accustomed to retire at a cer- tain hour every night, to a fine of S100 for Monte Cross for every time he was caught seated near an open window with his right arm exposted to the draught

 In more than one instance this feeling has redounded to the welfare of the play CT. It was Tener who fought the play CTS side in the peace agreement and in- fluenced the others to reinstate the play CTS who had jumped to the Federal league. When you blacklist the players, you blacklist the league" was Tener' s warning. The players were reinstated.
 The former governor is true fan and can't wait until the teams return north to see baseball. Therefore, he will go south.
 Will you do any playing yourself?' Tener was asked.
 T don't think that I could ever go on a baseball training field and keep my coat en-" he remarked "Yes, little baseball drill will do me lots of good. It might keep me from getting taller
 President Tener expects to make his drive on the training camps in the mid- ale of next month. The tour will take him from Texas to Florida.

array of veterans only two have re- turned. Frierson and Argo So prac- tlcally an entire team must be built from this small nucleus. However, prospects are bright. as the best of last years scrubs are again on the field. while there is much promise in the new material which daily presents itself for practice.
 The men who have shown up most promising for the relative positions so far are as follows: First base, Bricken of last years scrub team. and Captain Argo, regular catcher, who has been shifted to first. are the main candt- dates: second base. Walden and Wingo, last year scrub men, and Neswith, 8 new man, are all showing up we'll; i; third base, Ingram, a newcomer, and Ward, scrub. are having a hot race for this place; shortstop. Frierson. last years centerfielder, has been brought into the infie'd. and is showing up we'll in his new position; outfielders: there is an abundance of good fielders out. and it is merely a question of the best hitters as to who will fill the po- sition. Meadows. l.. Holloway, w. Hol- loway, scrub men of last year, and Jeffers, Moorer Galloway and Register, new men, are the most promising catchers Captain Argo and May of last years squad. with Boykin. a newcomer of some reputation. will take care of this position; pitchers. 1t is too early in the season to do more than enu- merate the pitchers, who are: Register, Parrish, Webb, Riddle.

Short Holes at Englewood
And Wykagyl Fool Golfers

but brassie shot isn't likely TO stick.
About the only sure working shot is
high midiron with fair amount Of
backspin.
The difficulty Of the hole can be sp-
preciated from the fact that even among
first class players not so per cent of the
shots reach the green and hold. A
pretty good shot here is Of no particu-
lar use at all IL must either be played
exactly right or the result is sure trou-
bic.
One Of the best known short holes
I'm the district is the last hole at Gar
den City. This hole Is an easy OF .
simple 6. With lake in front, the
traps surrounding il are as abysmal
looking as a grotto. In 1912 Jerry
Travers came 20 this hole, par 8. with
six strokes left TO qualify safely. He
hooked his mashie shot into trap,
and when he had finished the four
time champion had employed seven
strokes and was thrown into tie for
last place.
Among other interesting types might
be included the fifth and ninth holes
at Sleepy Hollow, the fourteenth al
Arcola, the fifth and twelfth at Fox
Hills and the fourth at Nassau. which
must be included with the best - ~
country. For general scenic ef' al
for beauty Of surroundings the tn.- .
teenth at Sleepy Hollow is without an
equal. The shot is pitched through a
lane OF trees over a ravine where, back
Of the green, the Hudson River and
the Palisades complete a picture that
is unequalled in metropolitan golf In
addition 20 which par Is very wei

test, where anything but Arst class
blow may produce S B or without
