Breaking up Training Camps For An
nual Exhibition Tours- Yank
ees in Very Poor Shape.
New York, March 31. That part
of spring training which consists
merely in getting ready for exhibi
tion games has been finished and
most of the major league clubs are
getting ready to move northward.
Reports from the south indicate
that John McGraw has his New York
Giants in splendid condition to go
after their third successive pennant
and they may be in better shape than
any of their rivals to get away to a
good start.
The Giants are well fortified with
reserve material and McGraw is in a
position to worry less about accident
breaks than any other pilot in the
National league.
Reports from the training camp of
the Cincinnati Reds indicate that
Pete Donchue, Pat Moran's young
right hander, is in great form and
that means much to the pennant
chances of the club.
The Reds did an unusual thing for
a majrr league club by spending $1,-
000 l-3t winter to get Donohue iu
condition. Last year he was in poor
health and at the end of the season
the club physician said he was "wast
ing away." Garry Herrmann then of
fered to pay his expenses for a
"roughing expedition in the north
and Donohue came out of it thor
oughly recovered.
Threats have been made that some
thing will be done to keep Moran
from using Rube Benton next season,
but they are considered idle, inas
much as Commissioner Landis has
given him permission to play and any
moves to get over the ruling. of the
commissioner would not get very far,
as he has the last word.
All of the American league ton
tenders are in good shape with the
exception of the New York Yankees.
Bad weather imposed a heavy handi
cap on the team.

Osetrman said the theory was very-
fine but in practical operation this
committee decided the fate of every
bill not yet in the committee of the
whole and that past experience had
showns lots of the bills they put out
were fiming in character. He said
that the house would have to wait on
the senate to act on. appropriations,
and that this would leave it leasure
to do its own sifting from the gen
eral file. He said this plan did not
hasten adjournment. ,
Most of the orators were for a com
mittee. O'Malley said that at the
present rate it would be June be
fore the legislature finished. The
newspapers were right in saying the
legislature had not done much and he
believed that constructive legislation
yet unacted on should be considered.
Keck wanted to indifinitely post
pone every bill on the general file
and then go home, but he was ruled
otu of order. Hardin said that if the
members would get rid of the notion
that they have to talk on every lit-
tie bill that comes up, tney could be
