"HE second-squad pitching was
done by Len Phillips, Mike Rad

hurlers got a thorough workout in
the batting drill, taking 15-minute

training only last Monday is condi-
tioning fast and will be ready to take
the mound in the stick practice early
next week, Trainer Mike Martin says.
Alex declares the elbow from which
bone chip was removed last Decem-
Der does not trouble him at all.
There was nothing weak about the
hitting done by the morning squad
composed Of the regulars. Heinie Ma
nush, Fred Schultz, Joe Kuhel, Buddy
Myer and Cronin, spearheads of the
Washington attack last season, leaned
against the ball with much spirit. 1t
was the first batting Of the year for
Manush, second swatter of the league
in the last campaign, Schultz and
Kuhel and they made the most of the
drill. Manush lined the ball over first
base much the same as he did the
greater part of last season and with
much drive.
Heinie will have much work to do
at this camp for he piled on weight
while vacationing in Florida. He is
! carrying much more than 200 pounds
at present and admits he plays best
at 100. Mike Martin has taken Ma
nush in tow so it shouldn't be long

1T is divulging no secret

zing of the pennant bee
already has been heard in the
Spring training lair of the De-
troit Tigers.
The sound may be deceptive or the
bee disappointed. Even with allow
ance for little Of both, there is one
good, substantial black-haired reason
for being convinced the Tigers already
are fully Is per cent improved over
1888. when they finished only few
points out of the first division. The
reason is Gordon Stanley Mickey
Cochrane. successor 10 Bucky Harris
as manager and the favorite backstop
Of this base ball generation.
The three prime factors which make
the Bengals appear a much better
ball club this Spring pepper,
more power and stronger pitching
all have their foundation in the per-
sonal playing ability and leadership
Of Cochrane. He not only fits nat
urally into his new Job, after being the
vital spark in Connie Mack's last great
championship team. but he has given
Detroit more base ball stuff to chatter

Rockies Not Far Behind.

THE two rockies borrowed from
l. the Albany club were not far
behind the Washington vets in
their clouts. Big Boy Sington, who
swings from the right side. bore down
on the pitchers with vengeance and
crashed the ball high and handsome
into center and left. Dugas, who does
everything left-handed, appeared the
hitter he is reputed to be as he lined
the ball to deepest center repeatedly.
Excepting Dugas, these hard-hitting
reserves are hefty lot. Boken towers
we'll above six feet and so does Sing
ton, while Harris, though a trifle shy
of six feet. tips the scales around 100.
Dugas really is no little man. He's
about feet inches and weighs
nearly 1870. And there's no pufiness
about him. He seems as hard as iron.
Johnny Phipps, the collegian, took
of his specks 10 get into the batting
drill and showed surprising power for
a man so slightly built. He also did
some fielding after the stick practice,
toiling with Johnny Kerr, Sington
and Boken. Sington, by the way, has
played in the inf1eld as well as the
pastures and appeared fairly at home
in the inner Gordon.
