‘MONROE, La., March 2.—Tbe 12
Tigers in the first day of training
started out to take on 25 pounds or
flesh. The weight of the bunch when
they began real work was 20 pounds
short of an even ton. Before the rea
son's work begins the weight of the
bunch, according to the collective
Idea of tho men concerned, should be
fire pounds more than a ton.
Covington. Kocher, Louden. Taylor
and Works were all at just about the
avoirdupois they prefer. Two or three
wanted to lose a little—a couple of
pounds; some wanted to gain the
same number.
The men who are making use of
hard work and the heavy playing
clothing to trim down the superfluous
flesh are Onslow and Perry. This
pair and this pair alone are too fleshy,
according to their own opinions, con
curred In by everyone who sees tho
men.
Perry is solid, sturdy looking, but
there is noticeable room for less fat
If such may be the case. Onslow looks
really fat. He is naturally full-faced
and chubby, however, which makes
him appear more like a porker than
he really is. The 20 pounds that he
wants to lose would nearly make up
for what some of the other fellows
want to gain.
The rest of the men bslieve that
they are much too thin. Mike Maurer
is eating bushels to get fat. The wreck
that Is strewn In front of his place
at the table every time the diffident
colored boy removes the remains of
a course looks like the kitchen after
t Moroney views with dismay any at-
Jempt to build up. "I <*nn’t do It. hoys,
' Just can’t do it,” he confides. He's
tried all his life to get jat least past
Class D in the jumbo league, but
there's absolutely nothing doing. A
ten-pound gain in his mark.’ He has
heard somewhere back in New Eng
land something about that aim-high
stuff and it has had its effect. He
lman , t v the slightest hope that he ran
attain to corporeal greatness, but his
Aim is good.
Remneas wants some more beef, nut
he hardly seems to need it. He is a
rather slender, hut he looks to be one
of the thin kind anyway, who thrives
better when he’s not fat.
Westerzill seems to have a hard
proposition on his hands, but he isn’t
worryintpat all about adding 15 pounds
to his 140. He always gains during
spring work and the fact that he was
hut for a part of last spring, he thinks,
has pulled him down more than usual.

TIGER RECRUITS SHOULD
BE IN FINE SHAPE WHEN
JENNINGS ARRIVES IN CAMP
Will Be Ready To Start Real
Practice Now That Kinks
Are Worked Out
ALL ANXIOUS FOR START
Pool and Billiards Are Principal
Amusements Among
Recruits
By RALPH L. YONKER.
MONROE. March 2.—Tomor
row ought to see the Tiger recruits
in tip-top shape to begin the w’ork
that will tell whether they have the
stuff in them to stick. Hitherto the
week's work l as been merely of the
nature to take out the kinks that
had settled in the bodies of the de
mon athletes. After working the
soreness in the first couple of days
and working it out later on, the men
arc ready to play ball.
They are all anxious to be in fine
shape when Manager Jennings ar
rives on the RAW. In case he gets
here in time for practice, Sunday,
there will probably be a workout iu
the afternoon only. Otherwise Sun
day will be a real day of rest. Train
er Tuthill figures that the absence
of hard work for one whole day
won’t do any harm.
| The Tigers' regular routine of
. work is as follows: Breakfast bell
at 7:30; board the car for the park
at 9:00; on the field at 9:30; Twenty
! minutes of work for the pitchers.
I throwing to the catchers and other
{players; a half-hour of batting prac
tice, the pitchers taking turns in the
box; club house and car for the ho
tel. At 2:00 iu the afternoon the car
;for the grounds is taken again and
the same procedure gone through
with. During the evening the mov
ing picture show forms the princi
pal source of amusement, and tbe
hotel pool room, the principal source
iof pleasure, not knocking the motion
j picture show business here a bit.
Everybody in the crowd has taken
Ito pool and billiards. In the minors,
Sngden leads with a record of fifteen
'games played and one won. JiruJVlc
jUulre has taken a fancy to pea 800 l
and plays the sharks ot the house,
j Among the real artists, McCorry is
showing some real stuff. He and
Ralph Works are having some duels
with the ivories, that are really
worth watching. Onslow is another
new man who is classy. His stunt
is billiards. In consideration of the
fact that the. Tigers do the greater
share of the supporting of the par
lon. adjoining the hotel here, the
management has kindly consented to
| allow’ a big discount for games play
led by ball players. All of which
1 means more sodas when the season
starts with warmer weather.
J There is some disappointment
among the knockers that the hotel
here is serving real food this year.
According tto the unfortunates of
Inst season, the stage money stunt
was—tried —w4fb —the eatables; —Th+s j
year there is food and all kinds of it,
It is highly flavored for northerners,
l.ow’ever, and served by waiters who
are attired in dress shirt bosoms,
among other things. That is to say, {
their verts are cut so as to show a
front that is fancy. Green and yel
low “diamonds” bestud the fronts of
them.
There is one tiling about the wear
lug of tlie bosoms of the shirts alone,
it saves lots of laundry. After bis
services as n conveyor of food are (
over, each waiter pulls the white
bosom out of his vest and is a soft
shirted bell-hop or a burly porter.
Mike Maurer has a good graft, with
the boy who waits on the table in
the far corner of the dining room.
Mike is a bear for cream «nd when
lie gets through with a meal there
is a whole tray of the little
ready to be carried out. Mike hit
the rich stuff so heavy last night that
the chef had to /esort to the con
densed variety for common ordinary
people. ,
PAN ANTONIO. Tex —Thf Athletic
Yaiinlgan* and San Antonio Hronks
will meet sot the second time here
this afternoon. "Dandy Dave” l)an

I Bonner, the tall Sycamore from Spo
kane, will pitch for Mack’s men.
j Two. accidents marred yesterday's
j.pr«uihr.—L’lamk Derrick, the Geor
igimi, is hobbling about today, with a
bad ankle received while sliding.
Henry Maggert. the Pacific coast out
fielder, slipped in the Fnrkish bath
establishment in the evening and
struck the hack of his head. He is

Easily Defeat Empire State Las
sies—Todd, Herman and
Montgomerie, Stars
That the champion girls’ basketball
team of Michigan, tbe McMillan high
school sextet can outclass the best
the east affords in the basketball line
is the belief of the followers of the
team today who saw them administer
a most decisive defeat to the Niagara
Falls collegiate institute team, of Ni
agara Falls, N. Y.. at Central high
gym last night. The score was 17
to 7. The McMillan lassies led from
the start and w’ere never headed.
The Niagara Falls team is rated as
about the best in the Empire state,
and the ease with which the local
maids defeated them showe that tney
could easily defend a much larger title
than Just “Champions of Michigan.”
The Misses Todd, Herman and
Montgomery’ were the star perform
ers for the local team, while Miss
Moore played excellent basketball for
the visitors.

TRAINER KRAENZLEIN HOPES TO REVEAL GOOD MATERIAL
IN FIRST TRACK MEET OF THE SEASON TONIGHT
ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 2—To
night the first track meet of the sea
son will be held in Waterman gym
nasium, and Trainer Kraenzlein lias
hopes that one of the results will be
Ihe uncovering of some undreamed of
'star who will help fill the holes made
in the track team by graduation last
year.
This is tbe preliminary meet held
each year after the mid-semester ex
aminations, and while it is not expect
ed that any records will be threatened,
it is hoped that such creditable work
will be done that Dr. Kraenzlein will
be able to select some good material
for Michigan's track team. The entry
list is a large one. so large In fact,
that it will take some time to run off
some of the events. The entry’ Hat in
the 35-yard dash is particularly large,
and it is here that a great deal of the
interest in the meet centers. Entered
la this event is isipsiey, the colored
sprinter, who demonstrated his right
two years ago to be classed with Craig
and Horner, two of the fastest men in
the short sprints Michigan has ever
developed. There are no less than 53
men entered in this event, and if they
all start they will keep the starter
busy for some time. Jimmy Craig,
brother of Ralph, the famous sprinter,
is also entered in this event. In his
freshman year James showed Trainer
Kraenzlein enough to convince him
that all of the speed of the Craig fam
ily is not possessed by Ralph, and on
the gridiron last fall the younger
Craig demonstrated that he has a
right to be classed with the speedy
distance men on more than one occa-

FIGHT AGAIN LABOR DAY
LOS ANGELES. Cal., March 2.
Johnny Kilbane, champion feather-
W’eight of the world, will give an
other chance to Abe Attell, probably
next iAbor Day. Kilbane's manager,
Jimmy Dunn, today, said:
"In answer to many inquiries as to
whether Johnny Kilbane will fight
Attell again. I wish to say that not
only will Johnny meet Abe Attell
again but will be glad to do so. as we
both feel that we have Abie's goat.
Wo have agreed with Tom McCarey
to select a date in the meantime,
most likely Labor Day. Os course,
Attell must be willing to concede
monetary considerations as we did.”

CENTRAL MEETS EASTERN,
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
The high school basketball cham
pionship of the city will be decided
tonight when Eastern high meets
Central high in the latter's gym. II
Central cops tonight, it is probable
that a third game and deciding game
will be arranged on some neutral
floor. The Indians took tht) first of a
two-game series recently, on their
home floor by four points.
Central’s chances in tonight's con
test seemed to have Improved since
that last game as Eastern has been
playing streaky ball while Central
has been improving.
As both teams are bitter opponents
a hard and well fought game is looked
for tonight by the supporters of both
teams.
