followers of base ball have been getting a great deal of satisfaction outof the performances given by theReds since their return from thepromIbiseding the Southern training trip andin every instance the reports havebeen corroborated at least up tothe preseent time It begins to lookas if Manager Griffith would have no htrouble picking six or seven pitchersof National League calibre fromamong his hustlers and that theshortstop job would be better attended to than it was last season In thematter of sneed too thefar ahead of the aggregation of 1908Sa fact which will add greatly to thefielding and base running strengthof the team Manager Griffith ismaking excellent progress in the mat ¬

ter of instilling team work into hisplayers so that when the first gameof the season is played on April 14he willnot have to handle a bunchofraw uus in the battle with thePirates

Anson Great PlayerThe evanescence of base ball fame

was exemplified here during the weekin the games played with the Redsby Ansons Chicago Colts In his dayAnson was the greatest base ballleader in the country It was saidof him that he could take nine cigarstore Indians and make them playball Banking on this fame of thedays gone by Auson is piloting ahunch of youngsters around thecountry playing exhibition gamestrading largely upon his name todraw audiences but at the same timethebNational game But the schemedoesnt seem to appeal to the everaLbase ball public with thejraJt seemsto 6ea case of It dbesrit mattewhat you were its what yon aretoday for less than 100 people wereout to seetlie first game Of coursethe cold weather held down the attendance but as the Vets and Coltshad a colder day on Monday anddrew tout five times as many peopie its plain that the base ball publie does not indulge in sentiment itwants the uptodate article all thetime

Pugilistic AtmosphereWhile the pugilistic atmosphere re ¬
