MAY HOLD SPECIAL
SESSION OF COURT
JUDGE EMORY SPEER WILL AN
NOUNCE DATE IN SHORT TIME.
MANY WAR ACT CASES ARE TO
BE TRIED.

MACON, Ca, February 2S.-It is
more than likely that an adjourned
session of the October term of the
United States court will be held in
tine near future, Judge Speer has an
nounced.
The chief object in holding an adj
journed session of court is to try a
number of cases in which soldiers at
Camp Wheeler are witnesses. Judge
Speer and United States District At
torney Donaldson are anxious to dis
pose of these cases as early as posi-
bic, as the soldiers are likely to be
moved for service abroad.
The criminal calendar for the most
part will be made up of cases in
which the defendants are charged

BIG LEAGUE CLUBS
ALL TO boil OUT

NEW YORK, N. Y. February 81
The decision of Gov. John K. Ten
or, head of the National league, that
the Giants will not violate the 30-day
training agreement by having their
veteran battery men boil out" at Hot
Springs, Ark, for ten days or two
weeks before the actual opening of
the training season has resulted In
announcements by other clubs that
their men will do the same thing.
The chances are that the famous Ar
kansas watering place will be as full
of ball players between March and
March 10 as the historic Missouri
houn' dawg is of feas.
The Brooklyns, who train every
year at the springs, will probably send
their veterans on ahead as usual
technically, of course, not to practice
baseball, but to get the older men in
trim to start even with the young
sters on March 16.
Wilbert Robinson, the manager of
tie Robins, was reported to be max
ing preparations for start late next
week with Colby Jack Coombs, RUDE
Marquard, Larry Cheney, old pitchers;
AL Mamaux who needs extra work on
account of his lay off last season;
lack Wheat, Jake Daubert, van Oh
sen and Otto Miller. The Brooklyns
have made no arrangements for the
party, as none of them is under con-
tract until the playing season opens
Few of the Phillies and Braves will
be seen at the Springs, as these clubs
train at St. Petersburg and Miami,
Fla, respectively, but the Chicago
and Cincinnati veteran fingers will
be there early and train through the
month as usual
