ton, and everybody enjoyed q good
sermon at a nearby church. Most
of the boys took the suggestion
straight to heart and Cap Mcbride
led his. charges a good example
Meanwhile, a quick lunch after the
services was followed by motoring

madam and her SISTER, with couple

Ii was grand. they say. Severai
others of the bunch went the same
way. and some OF them took to the
woods. Foss took an extra treat
ment from Mike Martin on the sore
wing and Michael says Deeby will
be all right for Monday a. m.

Meanwhile Grin has planned an
extensive week for the youngsters,
especially the set he has fixed up to
play in the Tampa-Hot Springs Sc
ries, for he announced tonight that
same gang of rockies will be given
the task of humbling the pride of
Philadelphia at Gainesville next
weeR. There will be three games in
Gainesville. March l6. II and ls,
with the Phillies. and Grin and Mac
figure the Kids can handle the sit
uatien. He intimated tonight that
Sam Rice might be showed into the
outfield for that series to give IL
little punch. and possibly Stan Har-
ris. who will be given a chance TO
show his leading-of abilities. Stan
probably Is slated for Joe Judges
post at the top of the list IL the boy
from Vermont refuses to listen TO
the call.
The Hot Springs contingent will
get in here Saturday and Stan Will
have had a couple of days of real
work to augment their tribulations
in Arkansas. The rest of the bunch
will have to content themselves,
though. with workouts until the big
series starts March %. Yes, that's
the revised date. Griff said today
there1l be only four days Of the
death battle to close their stay here,
then the Sabbath for rest. and then
the ever-shaking training trip home
Cuban Series on Again.
The plan for several games with
a Cuban team is uD again. and Doc
Jones Moorefield, a st. Petersburg
fan, is trying to get a bunch here
from Havana for a series of three
games. One OF the boys he thinks
he has lined up is Calvo, part pay
ment for Judge Landis' forthcoming
decision on Brottem and Miller.
And. speaking of Miller. Griff de-
MED tonight that his main reason
in wanting the Little Rock home
run buster was to try to pry Baker
loose from Father Rnickerbocker.
Il won't need Baker before this

golf this afternoon. Mac led the
way, finishing with a 81, while Nick
was behind, and the Irishman
back of him. 1t. was Mikes first
essay on the linkes. and he worked
like IL was his business. Cap shot
one over fence on Number 5, along
the Memorial Highway, and. refus-
ing to accept a penalty, played the
400 yards on the asphalt road until
he took a chip at the green. On
Number z, a water hole, Nick lost
two in the water. and then decided
to carry 1t across the pond.
As for Judge, Griff still has hopes
Of his arrival. though not a word
of certainty. He. admitted tonight
that he had received a letter and
that Joe was getting to be "a little
more reasonable" and while he re-
fused to enthuse over the prospects
he has a sort of consistent idea that
the larruping first baseman will
join him somewhere along the line.
1t may take a little time to warm
Joe up to the call, but the Old Fox
believes he'll hear it-and before
April 10, too.
