Courtney was half partner in $780,

Suit recently was entered against
him, the contention being that the
new building encroached on some
other property. The defense was
that the plans had been approved by
the city building inspector, but the
verdict of the court was unfavorable
to Courtney. The big pitcher is some
$4,000 out of pocket as result and
will not be called on to suffer any
further loss in the way of salary de-
duction.
Workman Looks Promising.
Basil Workman, the ex-collegian
obtained from the Tampa club. was
on deck yesterday and made favor
able impression in pitching to the
batters before the game. Workman,
who halls from Danville, w. Va, is
southpaw with the loose motion so

soon as he becomes acquainted with
his surroundings. 1t is unlikely
Workman will toll in any Of the
games with the White Sox, as Grin
always has made it practice to use
proved veterans against clubs which
have a chance for the flag, to fore
stall any possible criticism on the
charge of favoritism. The Tigers
will follow the Gleasons here and
Workman probably will get his first
chance against them.
