SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March 8. ROVIDED that the weather ts warmer, John McGraw and his regulars and rookies will begin their second week of training at League Park to-day. The possibili- ties are that the Little manager and his baseball gladiators will be forced to remmin indoors as the weather just at present is only a point above the freezing mark, Yesterday was the coldest that the inhabitants of San Antonio have wit- nessed in a number of years. Dark and heavy clouds spread over the city and rain threatened. As the result! of unfavorable weather the second | exhibition game scheduled between called off. It was the first break tn the train- ing trip since the Giants’ arrival on’ Monday night. The first four days| were like mid-June in New York. Saturday there was a tiff breeze blowing and yesterday morning when the players awoke they discovered that the cold wave, which is skipping from one town to another, bad. reached here. In the afternoon McGraw took fis players out to the ball park, but after a few minutes of bunting and field- ing called attention and marched the boys back to the clubhouse: How- ever, if the weather is favorable, the regulars and rookies will be put through two strenuous workouts to- day. ‘The manager is anxtous to test the youngsters, for Saturday’s game against the San’ Antonio team was nothing but _a farce. Wilbur Hub- bell, Jesse Winters and Ren Kelly, who performed for the New Yorkers, displayed real pitching and it was not until the ninth inning that the Bron- chos scored their lone run. sash ther sate the Giants and the Bronchos was|! of battles. It is proposed to devote the mornings hereafter to routine prac- something approximating real tice. In the afternoons practice games of several innings or more will be put on between teams made up of the many candidates in train- ing. In this way Huggins will be able to weigh the merits of the rookies while the veterans are cementing that harmony of team- play so essential to success in major league baseball. In these practice games it will be possible for Hug- gins to order the various strategems of inside baseball—stealing, hit and run, and the like. JOHNSTON IMPROVES AT THIRD FOR DODGERS. (Special to The Brening World.) JACKSONVILLE, Fila. March ‘The Dodgers will line up against the Yankees in the opening game next Saturday something like this: Olson, ®.; Johnston, 3b; Neis, rf.; Wheat, Myers, cf.; Konetchy, 1b.; Ward, s8.; Krueger or Taylor, ¢.; Mamaux, Pp Wheat, Myers and Grimes are due to report to-day, rounding out the full roster of twenty-seven players. The National League limit is twenty-five on Muay 1. That means two players will have to be dropped or farmed out. They probably wil be pitchers. Robbie is strong for the infield made up of Johnston, Ward, Olson and Koney, starting from third base. Johnston is showing up better every aay at the difficult corner and likes the job. Ward covers a lot of ground around short and is hitting. better than last season. His knee is giving him no trouble whatever. Olson is taking to the keystone like a ton of bricks sliding down a coal hole, Right now the infield looks the goods, Olson wilt lead off again because he got to first base more times than any other player in the old league last year. Wheat should be clean-up man again, though Myers may get a chance. Hy was the pest batter for the Dodgers in 19°9. Unless McHenry or Heathoote comes here in a trade for Pfeffer, Neis looks the likely choice for the third minn on the bat- ting order.
