FORT MYERS. Fla, Feb. 26.-tR)
1t was rookie" day at the Phila-
delphia Athletics training camp
yesterday. Connie Mack's outfit,
reinforced by the arrival of four
veterans. went through a morning
drill and retired later to the grand
stand to watch the youngsters try
out.
At Phoenix. Ariz., Bucky Harris
already has given the dopesters
something TO write about. Does he,
or does he not, intend to play this
season?
The question was forced into
prominence by the serious manner
in which the new manager of the
Detroit Tigers worked out at third
base in the first practice session of
the season yesterday.
Walter Johnson, manager Of the
washington Senators, has ideas Of
his own about conditioning pitch
erS, and he is putting them into
effect at the Tampa, Fla, training
camp. johnson has told his bat
terynen the first thing they should
do was TO get their bodies into shape
and then their arms would round
into condition quickly. In conse-
Quence there has been little ball
tossing but an unusual amount Of
setting up exercises.
At San Antonio John McGraw
took over active direction Of his
New York Giants training today. He
was expected to continue, at least
generally. the hard work program
his assistant, Ray Schalk. has been
carrying through.
Johnny Eyers. new coach Of the
Braves. Is delighted with the gen.
eral showing and especially pleased
by the spirit of Percy Jones, veteran
s0uthpaw acquired from the Cubs in
the Hornsby deal. Although Jones
fell heir to a considerable estate last
summer. and might ordinarily BE-
supposed to be disgruntled at q
transfer to the lowly Braves. he has
been one Of the hardest workers at
the camp. The Braves are training
at st. Petersburg. Fla.

for the return trip. All for a fair price, it is said. And enough thrills are packed into the fast journey to last one lifetime; at least that is the report
 The sea -sled is powered with two 12 horsepower Johnson out board motors, built expressly for river work and shoots the rapids with ease under the cap- able hands of Towle who is said to know the river, especially at law water, like an open book.
 All the thrills of a summer re- sort are enjoyed on the round trip, 2 recent visitor states. At pleasure resort one finds the roller-coaster, the serpentine, the whip and many other pulse agitatorS; this river trip gives one the same effect; a thrill all the way with Schooner Bend the main attraction and which alone is worth the price of ad- mission.
