YANKEES RUN INTO
.OVERCOAT WEATHER
Present Infield Is Working SO
Well That Baker May Not
Get Regular Place.
by WILLIAM u. HANNA.

Special Despatch to THE NEW 1NK EEzALD.
SHREVEPORT, La, March eS.-Begin-
ming their last stand In Shreveport and
getting ready to take the home trail, the
Yankees to-day struck the first really
bad training weather they have had
here. A violent rain, accompanied by a
generally angry demonstration by
nature, gave way TO a cold and windy
day. Oyercoat weather 1t was.
Most Of the players practised for some
thing less than an hour. but Shawkey,
Mays. Roth, Ferguson and Peck.npaugh
did not put on baseball regalia at all
a day off won't hurt any OF them. They
arc in pretty fair shape barring Ruth's
avoirdupois. which looks as II IL were
going to stay, and Roth's knee. Roth had
an x-ray taken yesterday. 1t showed
water on the knee. The right fielder
thinks he will be back in the game BY
the middle or the week
Peckinpaugh says he is in better trim
than ever before in the spring. and any
body who saw him play yesterday can
readily believe him. He attributes his
good trim to not having been In any OF
the early games and 10 having stayed
here and worked out easily instead OF
going TO southern Louisiana with the
rest OF the regulars. Ping Bodie was

TT again. When he win return TO the
lineup he does not know. Nobody can
foresee Huggins's moves.
1t Is not likely that Frank Baker will
appear as a regular this week. though
Huggins says he may use him in parts
OF games to see how he goes. In truth
the present infield has been giving such
Q pleasing account OF itself that 1t Is not
clear just when or how Baker is going
to win a regular place. II is not a sure
thing he'll unseat any Of the incum-
bents.
Huggins and Conners gave Nelson
Hawks. the sprinting flash, some in
structions In throwing. This fellow Is
such good prospect that they hope to
make an adequate thrower out of him.
The rampant and marauding procliv-
tiles OF the Yankees with the stick in
the thirteen exhibition games they have
played to date are emphasized by the
figures. They have made 12l runs and
162 hits in the thirteen games, fraction
over nine runs and a fraction over
tw elve hits to each game. The figures
speak for themselves.
Ed Leopard, left handed pitcher who
comes from New York, and Johnny
Thole. backstop. have been sent by the
Yankee management to the Bridgeport
Eastern League Club. commanded by
Eugene Mccain. Leopard showed real
stuff in one of his games here after lie
recovered from lame arm. and Thole
Is an active, hard working little man.

NEW ORLEANS. March 2S.-One of the

the baseball writer OF the New Orleans
Item. 1t will be immensely pleasing to
New Workers, and 1t is to be hoped It
does not prove too rosy. being considera-
bly, rosy, as it were. As 70 the writer's
comment on the Yankees base running,
true in the main, be 1t said that Ruth
Is good base runner and Schang and
Fewster may add a dash OF needed
speed.
The Pelican opinion. with its bold
faced indented paragraphs. follows:
Babe Ruth's neglect in the matter Of
home runs gave our New Orleans fans a
chance last Saturday and Sunday TO
form an estimate Of the New York Yanks
as . whole. and to compare them with
the Cleveland team we had here last
spring. which all the dopesters here
tabled 10 win. and which did beat the
Yanks and eventually tho Dodgers for
the worlds championship.
"New orleans now gives the Yanks
rating Just as high as was given
Cleveland u year ago. II Hngglns's
team Is not in front Of iris Speakers
next September ours win be a disap-
pointed set OF long distance specta.
tors.
Ruth Is not the sole reason. Babe did
nothing here Of ncte except 70 fan the
air with great momentum, but OF course,
he is the big noise in all the dope-only
II happens this time that there is good
deal more to the Yanks than Just Ruth.
For bunch OF fence breakers base
ball has not seen the equal OF the Yanks
ia many n day. and Il Is the hardest
thing In tho world to figure how any
team can beat them out this year.

By DANIEL.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
MOBILE, Ala, March 2S.-The Giants,
who had fallen behind in their motion
picture schedule, got an opportunity to
make UP few reels with doubIsheader
to-day. They came here late last night
in order to get in a hard morning work
Sut preliminary to meeting the Mobile
club. but there was no baseball IN these
cnvirons this afternoon. nor does 1t look
as If they will be able to play their
game with Louisville tomorrow.
Sweet memories OF old New York
came TO the Giants In the form of q
EJnd which whistled and moaned and
& temperature which was more than
twenty degrees lower than any they had
struck since beginning training at San
Antonio. The morning saw brisk
thunder storm food Monroe Park and
the afternoon usbered In the cute little
cold wave. about as welcome to the
Giants and the numerous local straw
hat colony as an epidemic of the hives
among troupe of plaster pourers.
So 1t was the movies and singing ses-
siors at the Battle House instead OF the
gorous schedule which John McGraw
had hoped to usher in this morning.
THAT the Giants are sorely In need OF
work there is no denying. When they
left san Antonio some of them were In
cf niger Of going stale from too much
training. But with the elimination OF
morning drills most of the players suf-
fered relapse. A few still are in that
condition.

Tagging spirits Revived.

The victory over the Browns yester-
day did the club world of good. The
tagging spirits of players who were
thrown into the doldrums by their work
against the Athletics were raised to a
higher pitch than ever. The Giants
batted and fielded like a regular ball
club and best of all. they got some
major league pitching.
Arthur Nehf turned in a splendid five
innings against the Browns. He had
everything-speed. a hop on the ball
and control--and was master of the st.
Louis batters at every stage OF his
tenure of Office. Slim Sallee, who worked
the last four innings, was revelation
10 everybody except McCiraw and Hughie
Jennings. In his previous outing Sallee
had shown a lack Of control, but yester-
day he was there at every stage. Only
couple OF the Browns were able to
meet the ball squarely or his pitching.
and only one got hit.
Even without the services of Goldie
Rapp, who is i'll with the influenza at
New Orleans and Frank Frisch. who
still limps, the Giants look better than
they did at this time last March. 1t
will be remembered that they got away
70 fine start il their series with the
Red Sox and then suffered a batting
slump which made the whole club look
bad. Just now the Giants are hitting.
Urban Shocker learned that yesterday,
when he was pasted for eleven hits in
six innings. They are playing fine ball
in the field.
The pitching could be better. but II
is not so poor that there Is any cause
for complaint and alarm. 1t must be
remembered that the opening of the
season is more than two weeks Off, and
a fortnight in April means lot TO
pitcher in training.

veteran Pitchers Coming Along.

Three Of the veteran pitchers are COM
ing along in great shape. Until yes
terday Phil Douglas was regarded as
the most advanced of the hurlers, but
now Nehf must be given a place on an
even plane with Shutting Phil. In an
other week the pair will be ready to go
nine innings, and go them in tip-top
shape.
Fred Toney, who got late start at
san Antonio. Is making remarkable
progress lie is as good as he wa at
this time last Spring. Jess r mes

Ing Judgment on his condition. Against
th; .fackmen, Barnes pitched three
perfect innings. He hurled them with
his fast ball. which was breaking well
and had the Athletics shackled. but in
the fourth he quit throwing the fast
one and went in for his curve. This
seems to indicate that Barnes tired and
that he Is not ready to go even five
innings against major league batting.
Rube Benton, the hfth veteran. is
away with the second team and Is
working like a beaver. He Is pitching
good bail ana getting into condition
fast
or the youngsters only Ryan Is ready
10 do any work. The former Holy Cross
star is quite a pitcher and u prepared
to face any kind Of opposition. The
confidence which McGraw has IN this
young man was demonstrated when he
started him against Cleveland.
Pat Shea, who came from Toronto
with Ryan, has stiff arm. It ls not
sore, but It needs lot OF exercise to set
IL into shape. McC.faw Is giving Pat
all the work he can stand. and Pat is
responding with an average that stamps
him as n major league star in at least
one important endeavor.

HUNGER STRIKE
SURVIVORS ARE
IN NEW BARRACKS

Cork. Ireland, April Mime sur
vivors OF the famous hunger strike
conducted in the Cork Jail by Sim
Feiners last fall, have been removed
from the Jail to the detention bar
racks connected with military head
quarters. This step was taken by the
authorities because Of the sensational
attempt several months ago to rescue
the men.
At the time of the attempted jan
delivery. all the prisoners were in the
Jail hospital. where they had been
undergoing treatment since declaring
off their hunger strike. They were
Immediately taken to their cells and
confined as ordinary prisoners. Rela-
tives of the men alleged they were
mlstreated. and were assigned ordi-
nary prison fare, which, they de-
clared, was e~ndangering the lives OF
the hunger strikers.
