'major league baseball clubs have lost at least
150,000, and the southern training trlp have
been little else, so far as the magnates are von.
cerned, than a chance to spend tbeii profits of
last season by giving their players a toleiably
pleasant Jaunt thruout the land of cotton
This Is the estimate of President Charles
A. Comiskey of the Chicago American league
club, after a mental survey of the situation and
a few calculations based on the reports from
the training center* in the dally papers.
The spring of 1006 will long be known as the
moat disastrous training year in baseball his
tory, and this condition is emphasized because
practically every one of the*sixteen clubs in the
American and National leagues soujjht the south
to prepare for the season's grind and Incidentally
to pick up training expenses thru exhibition
games/"..
As the method nowadays is to depend largely
on outdoor work for the conditioning process
f a ballplayer rather than a gymnasium, it
Is generally believed that the men of" both
leagues will not be in the same shape next week

FATHER HOPPE IS
TALKING TOO MUCH
Journal Special Service.
New York, April 5"Willie Hoppe is no
longer.,under contract with any billiard supply
company," said Frank Hoppe, father of the
young billiard champion, today, In speaking of
the assertion made by the promoters of the 18 2
balk line tournament, which ill start Jin this
city next Monday, that Willie Is bound by a
written agreement to take part In the contest.
"The company broke Its part of the contract
when it refused to pay Willie's expenses to
France for the Vignaux match, and therefore
we consider the agreement no longer binding.
Furthermore, I shall not allow my boy to play
next week unless the firm gives him a guar
antee of $5 000. I haven't budged an inch in
this matter and do not Intend to
Despite this emphatic assertion Charles P.
Miller, who has charge of the tournament, said

become liable for damages. He showed the

singer reaches this city today from Chicago it
w'lll probably b6 decided whether or not Cham
pion Willie Hoppe will be one of the contest
ants in the bill)aid tournament to be held pe-s-t
week in the Madison Square garden concert hall.
Hoppe claims that the company which Is
promoting the tournament owes him consid
erable amount of money and has demanded that
he be given a guarantee of $5,000 before he
will agree to play. At present there is a dead
lock between the champion and the promoters,
and Beneinger is coming to this city to settle
the matter

George Sutton, Ora Mornlngstar and A. G. Cut
ler, the men who are entered, are firm In their
stand thvt neither of them will give Hoppe a
match if he does not play in the tournament.
It is claimed by the promoters that their
contract with the young champion has nothing
to do with any match games he may arrange,
and that his matches with Vignaux and Slos
son were arranged on Hoppe's own responsi
bility. It is understood that the champion
claims the promoters should have paid his ex
penses to Paris when he went over to play

ing of Hart, who officiated in the sun field to
the complete satisfaction of Davis and the dis
may of the men who were knocking out files in
his direction.
These men wanted to make the big, curly
headed fellow lose ont on some of their drives,
and so tliey aimed a good share of their hot
ones in his direction. Hart evidently caught
on to their scheme, for be was more than usually
alert and did not miss one of their liners, altho
the sun was shining fiercely in his face.
The pitchers are all loosening up and are
getting their shoots to going in the way they
want them. Ford was the center of interest
yesterday with a new ball with which he was
experimenting This ball floats lazily toward
the batsman and just as he is reaching out for
it breaks and crosses the plate down near his
Ankles It is a deceiver almost every time it
Is used, but Ford has not got it down pat yet
and will not use It In the games for the pres
ent. Sessions and Kllroy showed excellent form
in the workouts.
Davis, with the assistance of Ned Egan of
this city, has devised a scheme to get up a
perspiration fur the men after the practice.
It Is about two miles and a balf from the barber
shop where the teams remove the grime of their
practice to the park, and Is down hill all the
wav in After the last practice Wednesday
morning the leaders corraled their men and in
stead of letting them board a car for the city,
thev started them off in a bunch and at a run
towards town. The men kept the pace very
well, and only one or two of them dropped out,
with the result that when they reached their
baths they had lost at least a pound or two
of superfluous fleslj each. These runs will con
tinue every day.
SHARKEY AND ROONEY
TO TUMBLE ON MAT
Journal Special Service.
Chicago, April 5 Sailor Tom Sharkey and
John J. Rooney will surely meet in a wrestling
contest at the Coliseum April 26. Any doubt
that existed as to the closing of the match was
removed today, when Dr. Massage, promoter
of the big local show, received a letter from
Sharkey at New York. The old heavyweight
fighter expressed a desire to come to Chicago
and meet Rooney. He has many friends here
whom he has not seen in years, and he wants
to show them that he can wrestle as well as
he used to fight.
The local giant will agree to carry out a con
tract, and Dr. Massage and Sharkey have agreed
to arrange details next Saturday.

Michigan Turns Eyes to East for
Final Date on Football f'r
Schedule.
Journal Special Servicer
Ann Arbor, April 5Manager Balrd ha*
planned contests with the elevens ot Illinois,
Chicago and Ohio State. Illinois wlU play at
Ann Arbor, while Ohio State will be met at
Columbus. This leaves two open dates on the
Michigan schedule.
One will be given over to an easy practice
match with a minor western institution team,
but the fifth date still remains unsettled. Mich
igan students feel that in reality only one big
contestthat with the University of Chicago
has been planned, and are desiroqs of seeing
the team in another big game. With this idea
In view Mr. Balrd is turning toward the east
for such a contest. Both Pennsylvania and
Cornell are mentioned as possible opponents, with
the chances favoring the quakers.
WISCONSIN STUDENTS
QUIT RADICAL MOVES
Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, April 5.In a large, enthu
siastic mass meeting 700 students of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin met in Library hall last
night and entered a protest to the faculty
against the proposed abolition of football. The
meeting was most conservative In its nature,
and none of the radicalism that has character
ized the action of the students of late crept Into
the spirit of the meeting. Thomas Mahon, Ira
Cross, Edward McMahon, Ralph Hetzel and Otto
Kowalke spoke for the students.
The general sentiment that prevailed was that
only the most sane action on the part of the
students would save the game of football to tbe
university. Resolutions passed wlU be presented
to the faculty when it meets to decide the fate
of the gridiron sport.
The purport of tbe resolutions was that foot
ball Is a necessity to the university in maintain
ing college spirit, and that the students wish
the game to be maintained, no matter mdtr
what conditions.
