Mr. Thompson plane a tent city in the suburbs of Berlin where every athlete can have a tent for himself. There will be a large tent for a library, another for a lounging room, a large one for a din- ing room and still another for an in- door training camp. 7 He also will endeavor to have the United States send several of its san- itary experts along with the team, and if the Government fails to grant, this request several physicians will be sent with the men at the expense’ of the committee.

Chief Meyers always has matntained that he really knew little about the tricks of backstopping un- til_he worked with the “Old Master.” Not less than ten catchers of the old school have applied for Robin- son's job, but these applications are still on McGraw’s desk, unanswered, ‘Though the invasion of the Federal League haa furnished the scribe: with plenty of material for kidding paragraphs, the players of the bix league would be perfectly willing, some of them say, to get up a purse for Mr. Gilmore in case he goes broke.» Though few of them have jumped to the outlaws, nearly all of them have benefited by raises in sal- ary and long contracts. | “Do you suppose,” asked a veteran pitcher yesterday, “that if the Fods bad been in the limelight !ast spring President Navin of Detroit would have let Ty Cobb go unsigned until after the season began?

HHNNY KLING, who for sev- eral years while a member of the famous Cub machine was the greatest backstop in base- ball, has again retired, but this time there is every réason to be- lieve he is sincere. Kling made the announcement last night in Kans City, where he is conduct- ing @ successful business, that he cannot earn enough money in baseball to rake it worth while to neglect his business interests. “I know that I have seen my best days,” says the former cham- pion backstopper, “so why keep it up when I can get more money sticking to my home town and business,” Kling had an understandhg with the Cincinnati Club that he was to be released outright if he didn’t want to sign for the season uf 1914. He says he never had any intention of signing with another club. Kling would make a valuable man to coach the young Giant pitchers, now that Robinson ts lost to McGraw.
