SPORTING NOTES.

Manager Robinson of the Dodgers. who are training at Jacksonville, Fla. is trying out an infield shaped up With Konetchy at first, Ward at short, Olson at second. and Johnston at third. This arrangement moves olson from his regular position at shCS.t aNt shifts Johnston from second to third. The infield problem is causing Robbie much worry and he hopes that the above lineup will solve it.
 Frank Herbst, crack pitcher with Waterbury last season who is the sub ject of controversy between the Ath- letics and the Pirates, is toting around much extra weight, which means that he will have to reduce considerably.
 Manager Higgins of the Yankees thinks highly of Frank Gleich. a young outfelder, who has been sting ing the ball with much force at Jack sonville. If any of Huggins's regulars do not come up to the mark, it is within the realm of possibility that Gleich may be given a chance to dew elop into regular.
