As Griff figures the players VIII De
in excellent shape after all the games
have been played he decided that no
more exhibition contests would be ar
ranged, but instead he would bring
the team directly home from Cincin-
natl and work them out on the local
grounds Monday afternoon and Tues
day. leaving for Boston Tuesday
afternoon in time to reach there
early Wednesday morning. So that
instead OF being away from the sd
Of April until the Sd, when the
local season opens, the players viii
be home on the 18th and 18th. This
will give them time to do some work
and arrange for homes during the
summer. For after the Nationals ar
rive back the last of April they will
be at home all during the month Of

Trainer Is on.
Nick AItrock and Mike Martin leave
for Baltimore at noon today to de-
part BY boat from that city tonight

The latest application for exhibition
games is from Tommy Leech. who
will manage I he Tampa club of the
Florida League. The PittsburS former
star writes that his players will be on
hand when the Washington players
do their work and that he would like
to arrange a couple of games. As
all the dates have been allotted 1t is
hard to see when time can be set
apart for him, but should the White
Cubans not accept the terms offered
then the Tampa team can be played.
