In the first place, takes baseball
seriously He viii not allow his
players to do anything else and
hold their Jobs. He wants them
TO play bill from the moment
they get into their uniforms and
continue to do 50 until they take
them off. And the more they
play bali off the field the better
they please him.
Owing to the warm weather, but
one daily practice session was held
at Tampa. That was enough under
the conditions, the athletes being
well-tired when they left the field.
But during that session there was
no loafing on the part Of any OF
the players.A This was In distinct
contrast with. conditions at Tampa
year ago.
Greatly aiding Bush this spring
was the spirit Of the players them
selves. Gosiin, for instance, instead
and making poor showing in his
playing, attended strictly to his
knitting and has starred all season
to date. He has displayed the best
of spirit and should have q great
year.
Sam Rice reported In wonderful
condition and, a. soon as he began
work, showed It by striking o pace
that should make him one Of the
leading half dozen players in the
league this year.

players battling for berths had its
natural effect, No veteran could

to take 1t easy. This goes for the

Better than that, the team has

Of play. They know where they
are going. IL II not hit-Or-miss

"How's the team?" has been the
question hurled 1t ever since arriv-
ing last night.
The team IL in fine shape. It is
a hitting team. It 10 q team will

The Washington infield. whether
Peck or Bluege plays short. 10 prac-
tically alright.
The outfield is q hitting trio,
whether Wade or Evans IL In 1t.
With Evans playing, its fielding
will be better and its base running
considerably strengthened. But
both men are playing good ball.
Muddy Ruel's catching has added
100 per cent to the strength Of the
backstopping brigade.
The oldtime puzzle, the pitching
staff, remains a puzzle. Johnson.
Mogridge. Zachary, Hollingsworth
and Warmoth may be expected to
appear frequently In the early box
scores. II that staff can hang on,
once the teams settle down, the
Griffs may prove q big surprise.
II the staff falls apart, 1t will be an
up-and-down team, winning its
games by slaughtering opposing
pitchers even though its own do
shabby work. But always It will
be a fighting team, one the fans
love to support to the bitter end.

] hope to give you a thrill now.
Bad spring training trip or not,
and want to admit here that it
was terrible. I'm going to have a
good year. I've said that before.
With the season about to start /
repeat 1t now. In my heart feel
I'm going to have the best year

year.
A few days ago I struck out
four times in a row in one game.
That's something ] haven't done

It's something / hope I'll never

But it made q lot Of my friends

worse than l ever did in a single
game.
But that game is a thing of the
past. That's the nice thing about
and we all think more hopefully
and optimistically of the future.
And that's the way I feel about
the season that's about to start.
/ have had great days IN the
past. ] know Of no reason why
/ shouldn't have just as many
good days In the future. The
fact that I struck out four times
I'm one game in a spring training
exhibition game doesn't depress
me.
Why should it?
No ball player Is expected to be
in perfect playing condition on a
spring training trip. One may be
in perfect physical shape. as I I'M,
but that's different from perfect
playing shape. 1t takes time to
get going right. 1t takes me more
time than it takes the average
player. Why? I don't know. It's
just one of those things. Some
players do their best in the spring
and fade out in the midsummer
and late in the season, others do
bad in the spring and better as the
season goes along.
I'm aiming to hit my stride as
soon as the pennant race starts.

PUNCH BOWL WAS MADE
FOR SIX THOUSAND PEOPLE
Would Contain 4 Hogshead of Brandy,
8 of Water and Other Ingredients.

The largest punch bowl in history
was. made Oct. Is, 1904, on an island
in the Mediterranean, and the maker
was that rather tortuous politician and
sailor. Edward Russell Lord Oxford,
captain general and commandments
chief OF the English forces in that sea.
1t was made, says the historian who
had the happy idea of preserving its
fame for a punier generation, in a
fountain in a garden. This was in the
middle of four walks, all covered over
head with lemon and orange trees,
and in every walk was a table, the
whole length OF it covered with cold
collations."
In the fountain had been mixed the
following ingredients: Four hogsheads
OF brandy, g hogsheads of water, rs
600 lemons, 20 gallons OF lime Juice,
1900 weight OF fine white Lisbon
sugar, pounds OF grated nutmegs.
500 toasted biscuits and last pipe OF
dry mountain malaga.
Over the fountain large canopy
was built to keep off the rain; and
there was built on purpose a little
boat. wherein was a boy belonging to
the fleet, who rowed round the foun-
tain and filled cups OF the company,
and in all probability more than 5000
men drank thereof"

M'CRACKEN, RADNEY
HAVE BEEN PARDONED
GOV. HARDWICK SETS FREE
FORMER TERRELL AND RAN
DOLPH COUNTY MEN.

John T. McCracken and William
Radney, Mitchell county farmers, Civ
en- life sentences about three years ago
following their conviction of murder
in connection with the killing OF Hen
nv T. Jones, a Colquitt county saw mill
man and who have served two years,
have been granted pardons by Govern,
or Hardwick. McCracken was reared
in the northern part Of Terrell coun-
ty, and Radney went to Mitchell from
Randolph county.
Since the shooting of Jones under
peculiar circumstances i'll June, I9l/,
the case has been much before the
people of south Georgia. Radney and
McCracken were tried twice. At the
first hearing of the case verdict OF
voluntary manslaughter was returned
and the defendants drew fifteen years
each in the penitentiary.
Sustaining the contentious OF attor-
neys representing them to the effect
that the killing of Jones was either
iustifable homicide or murder the
court of appeals granted the men a
new trial. At the second trial the YER
dict was for murder with recon-
mendation of mercy.
On the night they shot Jones to
death Radney and McCracken had
been with posse who were trying to
capture a negro who had during the
day fired upon w w. Boyd, at that
time sheriff of Colquitt county. They
were at a bridge in the western part
of Colquitt county on their way home
when Jones, who was on his way
home, walked upon the bridge from
the opposite side. In the darkness
Radney and McCracken said they
thought he was the negro they had
been hunting and called to him to halt;
An exchange of shots followed and
tones dropped MORALLY wounded.

came worse than savages. Some even
became cannibals. How many execu-
tons took place in the island will new
er be known. The convict settlement
was eventually abandoned and for a
year the island was deserted except
for a caretaker.
Finally a shipload of settlers arrived
from the island Of Pitcairn. These
were the descendants of the mutineers
of the Bounty, a British war ship.
They had intermarried with Tahitian
women, who are famed for their beau
ty. ..
There are only eight families on the
island. Money is very scarce, twenty,
FIVE dollars being all that is handled
in the course of a year. The islanders,
however, are entirely self-supporting.

as number of Injuries. The island
has its own government, which is pre-

from Australia.
