Bert Weeden, who acted as manager in the Colonial league, and later di- rected the HagerStown club of the Blue Ridge league, illness causing him to retire from the game, has regained his health and will try baseball this year at the head of a Lynn independent or- ganization.
 I Even at this early stage it does not require much of a guesSer to arrange the lineup of the Yankees for the open ing day. Only one infield and one out field position remain in doubt. and it is a safe bet that either Shawkey or Cald- vel will draw the pitching assignment tor the opening game.
 Clyde Geist, who occupied the mound for the Hartford club when it graced the old Eastern association, will perform in the same manner the com ing season with the Fort Worth club of the Texas league. Geist was with Tulsa of the Western association and evidently had good season, as his going to the Texas league is a promo ton.
 Yankees is at low ebb- They are not backward at declaring themselves on that strike fizzle of the past winter, and several, if not all, have decided sis during the coming season. If other clubs view the affair in the same light, the fraternity is as dead as the procerbial door nail.
 Just now the club owners are more concerned about the moves of Arthur Irwin business manager of the Toron- to club of the International league. Irwin Is trying to get Pitcher Hugh McQuillan away from the Boosters When the Toronto club released Mo Quillan last spring they did so after it appeared the pitchers days Of use- fitness were over. McQufllan was hit on the head by a pitched ball and it looked as though he would necer be able to pitch again He fully recov- Seeing how things banned out, Irwin Is trying to make use of an alleged eentIenen's agreement to get back this promising youngster.
 As it stands now the next manager of the Worcester club in the Eastern league will be a player and steps tow ard obtaining this type of successor to Billy Hamilton have already been taken by the club owners, Edward F. Smith and M. J. McMahon. Further more, the owners are convinced that the new manager win not be asked to take a financial interest in the club, 1 preferring to go it alone and lose or 1 make on the proposition by them selves. They reason that a bench manager in a minor league is hardly desirable unless he has a financiaI in terest in the club. and having deter mined they will have a playing mana ger, the owners expect to operate the franchise alone.

The sides are boarded up and the
floors are covered with boards ele-
waited from the ground with straw
stuffed under them and the earth bank

under the boards. When stoves are
placed in these tents they become as
warm as an oven.
Every man In the division is concen-

to the conservation OF food, denying
themselves In order that the Allies
