There You have an opinion Of a

should do and who does not talk
just for the fun OF 1t.

example for the youngsters. He is
the first on the field every day
and the last to turn in for q
shower. He jumps around on the
field like q boy In his teens, whoop.

Whether Nick has caught the spirit
from the youngsters or whether
they are doing the following. makes
no difference. -.
There is q lot Of hard work
going on every day and the result .
may assert itself . little later on.
Another angle is that the first Of .
the squad to arrive may have
caught the hustIing spirit from
the scrappy little leader, Stanley
Harris, before he left for Hot
Springs and that shey are pass
Ing 1t down to the later arrivals.
There il no place in camp for
the lOafer, regardless Of where all
the spirit came from.
Moon. the young pitcher from the
31edmont League, has not been able

him since his arrival in camp.
Yesterday was added q mashed
mouth to his list of accidents, be-
ginning with losing his suit case en-
route and following a slight injury
to his ankle. The ball took bad
hop in pepper practice and his face
was the target for hard. hit ball.
The injury will not interfere with
his daily work, however.
With the infield a little slow in

The effect on Americas status as

No American doubles team, Tilden

the condition of his players, and
also with 'the diamond that, under
the careful attention of Henry
Fabian. is in surprising good shape.
Henry is very proud Of his work
and dotes on praise.
Arthur Nehf and Virgil Barnes
have both gained In weight during
the winter and look to be in splen-

needed weight, and for that matter,
so did Nehf. Neither were in
robust health last season.
Frank Dwyer, Mrs. Dwyer and
their young daughter arrived this
morning. Frank was a New York
State boxing commissioner for two
years past until the recent shift in
the commissions membership. He
has come here ostensibly as an
assistant pitcher coach but his
duties will be very light.
Frank was a star pitcher during
Anson's day rs manager of the

retains his love for baseball.
