his men discuss every play that has
come up during the day, the players
making suggestions and arguing
points.
Kid Gleasoh is showing what he can
do. I think the Whie-Sox will be a
much improved team because Glea
son is in charge this spring. Gleason
is a baseball genius and a marvel at
getting enthusiastic work out of play
ers. He does not permit loafing and
he will have his team in condition in
spite of the desperate training trip
arranged. Gleason is a wonderful
judge of youngsters and an immense
help to pitchers especially.
Rickey seems to be taking hold of
the Browns with a new spirit. He is
right in one thing he has commenc
ed weeding out already. He is not
going to waste time on players who,
from first glance, are not of major
league caliber. He is one of four
major league managers to order slid
ing practice.
McGraw puts more time on sliding
than on anything else and his team
is the best sliding team in the coun
try. Griffith has devoted ,a lot of time
to teaching some of his men to slide,
and by curing Milan of his one bad
fault (oversliding) has made him one
of the greatest baserunners in the
business.
O'Day seems back to the 1876
style. Almost every team in the coun
try has cut put the hit and run play,
and is playing it "run and hit," the
batter striking only to protect base
runners when they are going. Now
O'Day is teaching hit and run. O'Day
is driving his team hard, and favored
by excellent weather from the start,
he ought to bring a well-conditioned
team north.
Jennings always has been success
ful in handling teams in training. His
order against gloves was the real in
spiration. He knew that the players
would throw too hard at the start,
and by taking the gloves away, he re
strained them. Fred Clark has had a
habit of hiding the bats for three or
four days after starting training,
knowing that the players will do
nothing but bat if permitted to have
the war clubs.
Much interest is attached to Her
zog's work with the Reds. He is just
starting and there is little informa
tion regarding his ideas of training.
Reports are, however, that Herzy has
inspired the Reds with something of
his own fighting spirit, and he, too,
has ordered the sliding practice, being
schooled in McGraw's style.
Jack Delmont of Memphis got a
decision over Jack White at the end
of eight rounds in Memphis last
night. Delmont clearly outfought
the Chicagoan.
Eddie Melzer slightly shaded Wild
cat Ferns in ten rounds at Cincin
nati. Ferns rallied gamely at the"
end and almost turned a victory.
Willie Hoppe won the first match
of the 18.2 billiard tournament at
Recital Hall last night, defeating
Koji Yamada, the Jap, 500 to 174.
