NO MORE CALIFORNIA

Chicago, March S1.-Cal!fornia's
picture has been turned to the wall at
Cub headquarters. Judging from talk
around the stronghold of President
Weeghman today, 1t will be many
moons before the Chicago Nationals
make another training trip to the Pa
cific coast.
Weeghman is especially riled, at
stories which appeared in San Fran
cisco papers, criticizing his club. He
was shown one article, saying that
Chicago's coast trip was "a sand
bagging expedition for the purpose
of cleaning up a few thousand dollars"
III I come within $4,000 of clearing
expenses for that trip, I'll be lucky"
cried Weeghman when he read 1t.
Then he refused to enter what he
termed a mud singing contest"
Manager Mitchell wired Weeghman
from Texas saying the whole team
was much more robust since the men
had shaken the dust of the Golden
state from their clGats.

New York, March S1.-The American
league and the National league have
kicked just exactly backward, com
pared with winter league dope and if
home the same results they have for
the last few days, the folks are toler-
ably apt to be reading from an inverted
posture.
The New York Giants, figured as the
best bet for John K. Tener's flag, and
congratulations next fall, merely aided
in the cumming process by losing to
the Tigers, while the Braves ran true
to form by defeating the Yankees
when they were least expected to. The
only bright spot for the dopesters was
the performance Of the Dodgers, who
gracefully lost to the Red Sox. They
have been doing things backwards for
some time and losing yesterday mere

TO GIVE LINE ON TEAMS.
The int. league series that are be-
ing pulled off in advance of the major
league openings are able to give moro
of line this year on what may be ex-
pected than ever before because the
teams have been favored with almost
ideal weather conditions in their train
ing. There has been a spirit Of keen
rivalry in the training camps and the
games are producing some fine base
ball.
The Giants fielded poorly in their
first appearance against major league
team this season. The Yankee pitch
ers fell down against he Braves, while
Brooklyn simply stood still, fought the
Oklahoma wind, and submitted to a
genteel massacre at the hands of the
Red Sox.
