 Bancroft has some training ideas of his own. II" ordered soft pcdal tactics for batting practice at the beginning of the training period and contrary to the usual batting spree indulged in from the jump, the Braves spent their time hunt- ing for the first week and inc pitchers tossed on the sidelines in- stead of the mound.
