As Reretofore, all the work will be done before luncheon, but instead of it tequiring an hour and a half, nearly {chedu}e, as outlined, and subject to change, is for the Yannigans to start limbering up at 10 o'clock and work until nearly 11:30, when the regulars will take the field and hold it until close to 1 o’clock. . ‘The second-string players have been designated to tofl first, so that Milen c€an direct them before taking his own workout. TIncluded in this con- tingent are Catchers Noone lnd Picinich, Inflelders Brower, Bluege and Lamotte, and Outfielders Goobel and Smith. Most of these already have received the benefit of consid erable batting practice, and for thi 've been assigned to work with them, the tenuuu list including Johnson, Erickson, Zachary, Mo- gridge, Miller, Digges and Turk.
