Although he spent considerable timé phoning the offices of various medicos, Peck was unable to obtain the services of a physician until yesterday, but he is hopeful that the “home remedies” he resorted to will serve to the severity of his attack and that be will not be laid up. Wenther Is Adverse. Other candidates for the dispensary may be developed if the brand of weather on tap yesterday continues to prevail. It started raining early ,in the morning and a steady down- pour continued throughout the day, the plans of the Washington delega- tlon for the Sabbath being drowned as a result. The schedule called for the customary hike over the hills for a squad consisting of Harris, McNally, Ruether, Judge, Marberry and Ogden, sbut the uninterrupted descent of moisture prevented even a loosening of arms through tossing on the lawn in front of their hostelry. The fishing trip that Coveleskie and Peck had planned under the leadership of Morris Ackerman, noted Cleveland authority on denizens of the deep, nat- urally went by the board, too, as did Goslin's daily battle on the links with Babe Ruth. Goose voiced no regrets over the fact, however, as he has had Jittle luck at golf with the Bambino as his opponent since their first clash last week, and he probably figures that the enforced inactivity forestalled a further deflation of his bank roll. Milan Retsins Title. Held indoors by the elements, there was nothing for the athletes to do but bat ‘em out in the conversational league, and a big fanning bee was in progress in the hotel lobby when the group was jolned by Clyde Milan. Some one mentioned fishing, which always is Milan’s cue. For vears Zeb has been known as the narrator of some of the choicest fishing varns ever spun. He found in Ackerman a worthy rival and the pair of them provided entertain- ment for a couple of hours. But at the finish the Clevelander cheerfully cast his vote to make unanimous Milan’s election as “‘champion.” Sunday wes not a total loss so far as preliminary training for the N: tionals is concerned, however. Bad weather has no power to interfere with bathing in the far-famed radio- active waters of the Spa, the chief justification for the expense involved in transportation and board for a sizable group of diamond perform- ars, and every member of the Wash- ington delegation had his customary tub. The system followed is similar to that of Turkish bath establish- ments, and, Including the period al- Intted for “cooling off,” requires about an hour and a hal Speaker Boosts Indians. The base ball colony here, which includes representatives of the Yankees, Browns, Indizns and White Sox of the American League, in addi- tion to the Griffmen, was further aug- mented yesterday by the arrival of ‘Tristram Speaker, the silver-thatched field leader of the Cleveland club, who journeyed all the way from Lakeland, Fla, where he was spending his honeymoon, to supervise the work of his veteran batterymen before pilot- ing them back to the Tribe's Spring training camp The Indians last season escaped by only a narrow margin from landing Fred | lessen | up his affairs back home. for receiving duty when the pitchers | little steam.

E TREMONT JUNIORS TAKE TOURNEY TILT Jastern Preps were eliminated om the junior basket ball champion- ship tournament being conducted by the Aloysius Club at Gonzaga gym- nasfum by the Tremont Juniors, who scored a 22-t0-20 victory in the open- ing game of the series this morning. Although holding the bulge, 14 to 10, at the intermission. the Easterns were unable to stand the attack launched by their opponents in the final periods.

The north sides were heavily covered, the south sides were bare. This struck me as being wTRARE. If the reverse had been frue, I would not have wondered. I spotted a man who apparently Yived in the West, and I asked him what was the cause of this strange thing. “Well he wind here is heen that way said, “the prevailing from the south. It's for a long time. All the loose dirt has been blown over those ridges and drifted on to the north side of them, just like a snow bank drifts. So when there was enough dirt over the rocks, the trees started to grow in it. That's why they're all on the north side. They're growing in dirt drifts. The - dirt drifts are on a large scale and they don't show very well, but that's what they are, just the same.” From that moment on I enjoyed my ride increasingly. 1 had found ®omething to watch for as we rode along. 1 was able to read the drama of a certain phase of mountain for- mation from that time on, and I found it infinitely more interesting than just sitting and looking at the mountains in an abstract sort of way. Sefore that all 1 had known about mountains was that they were very hizh. Some day I am going to learn about the trees themselves. I am ®oing to find out why certain trees srow in one place, other trees in another.

Yet Bob McDonald, one of the largest and most finished drivers, uses light woods. Recently Abe Mitchell coun- selled the use of light woods. If for no other rea- som the lighter club will serve the average play- er better because the rapidity of bodily action in the swing will en- courage more en- ergetic hip action, which is the thing that adds punch to the wood club swing. In the back swing the lighter club—say 123% ounces—is as easily controlled as the one a couple ounces heavier. It is the downswing that the heavier club gets bevond the player.

GRIFFS AT TAMPA FEEL EARLY TRAINING STRAIN iecial Dispateh to The Btar. AMPA, Fla, February 23—The initial practice after the Sunday T lay-off at Plant Field this morning brought vividly to the minds of the world champions and those who aspire to permanent affilia- tion with the champs the fact that aching joints are no respectors of person. Notwithstanding that MiRe Martin has zealously endeavored to make the athletes take things easy in the first days of practice, many members of the squad know they have been drilling, namely, because of sundr pains and aches, mostly prevalent in the muscles of their legs. Not that any of the squad is hors du combat due to the training stunts of the first three days. It is the natural reaction of a sudden return to active exercise after many weeks of “taking things easy.” There was one member of the Na-|orable Scotch pastime are concern tionals here who was put on the non- | will be awaited with keen interest by active list, beginning this morning, | those who know them.
