Double-Headed Practice With Every Man at HisPosition Fails to Reveal Flaw

WILLIAMJ. SLATTERY[Spccj'a/ Diipatch (o The Call]

.SO ROBLES, March 8— The Seals, got away with a great doubletice layout today, and everybody was beaming when the charge

made to the dinner table. The sun did not shine, neither did the clouds} up, so it was fair enough lor the boys. The diamond was as dry as•>.n and everybody was stepping around.

Although the boys were achingMaud for this" line of work. Captain;MoWer made many a request, and he

was joined by the others, who weresimply mad to tear around in a, way

that would make them realize that they

were really in action. But the boss

stood pat, so they had to call it off.

for a game, Danny Long would not

Long divided them up into twosquads in the morning. He took- thefirst gang out at I o'clock and gave

them the once over for a solid hour be-

fore the others showed on the job. Theearly arrivals were well warmed up by

that time and the .work began in realearnest. - \u0084

For the first time since the boysjoined the camp eae'u was assigned toregular position. They lined up on thediamond in big league style, each withh regular look of determination on hisface. They could not have been moreserious had they been there lightingforthe championship of the world. A 1the pitchers took their turns in toss-ing the ball and a couple of thembatted 'em out. Jackson and Sheoleyalternated at first base. Gedeon andMohler tore around second, and Tone,Altman and • ;oi in did the honors atthird. McArdle was at short and, aftera while, he retired and gave i ban a• liance to pick up a, few in that terri-tory. The outfielders were scatteredabout and they all got into action.

The sensation of the day was- youngGedeon. He showed the class of a big.If-aguer. This does not mean that theothers \\p|-e not there, but simply thatthe kid, whom nobody ever heard muchabout before, had the chance to dis-play some of his real form, and ha suredid conio right through without a fal-tor. He was going so fast around sec-on.l that Cap Mohler, who had beensitting on the bench, grabbed hold ofhis glove and decided that he -alsowould cut a few capers around second.

Cor! too, made them do a lot o£talking. This ton • White Sox in-lielder is a bear at handling that balland getting It around the diamond. Hedid not take any chances \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 throwingout his arm, but lie demonstrated thathe had the right sort of a system innicking 'em up and that he knows whatto do when he has the ball in his mitt.

Slieeley. at first, loomed up like amountain and lie got away with hiswork nicely. Jackson showed moregloss and it could easily be seen thathe is an experienced man. At thirdYoho did all that could be expected ofHim, and so did Westmoreland, whohad a chance to turn a few tricks therefor a full half hour.

Of course M<Ardl« was just the same—just as good as lie ever was. And hedid not seeni to be the least hit afraidto give some of the others every chancethat they desired.

The morning training: siege fairlywhetted the boys' appetites for lunchand another whirl in the afternoon.They could not get out quick enough,and the only fear was that it mightpossibly rain. Ky 1 o'clock they wereall ready, but they we re detained forhalf an hour because Steve Douglas dida bit of fiddling up. Outside of theworkout this stunt was the real sensa-tion. Steve fairly knocked all theguests off their feet. He never showedin better form in his life.

The afternoon session was practicallya repetition of what the lads wentthrough In the morning. They hadplenty of batting and fielding practice,and once more each one was assignedto his job with instructions to cover itthe best he could. And In the mean-time Long stood in the center of thediamond and ahouted his warningsabout overwork.

"I wish thai somebody einp had thejob of selectin - this team," sighed theSeal leader as • \u25a0••.-• man afterman go through his stunts. "It is the.greatest aggregation that I ever sawin a. spring training camp."

.Chick H tirtl«»y pelted . three'of themover the, center Held fence and thenstarted to apologize for losing thesphere. The fourth one hit the fenceand the fifth was a liner right:overfirst base. When this big fellow leansagainst the hall it is bound to travel.

Although Hartley, held the record forboosting 'em beyond the boards, Mun -dorff, Gerteon, Jackson and Powell alsoresponded with one each. 'They,' "allsaid that they did not mean to-7 turnsuch tricks, but the ball traveled any-how and the village scouts had quite atime hunting.

Jess Baker and -•;\u25a0! Xoycs did mostof the pitching work.- These lad*must have, cheated on the others, fortheir arms appear to be in m ids*asoncondition and they can afford to cutloose, a bit. The other pitchers took itrather easy because Long would notstand for any of the jfast stuff fromthem, much as they -would, like to gostrong.

Young Davis is .another lad who i•-putting oil plenty of the fancy workin his. infield practice, and from thelooks of things they are going to havequite a job crowdinghim off the team.This New York chicken is quite ahustler —as willing as any of them onthe squad. All he wants is ;work andthey can't come t«o fast •"or him either.lie is going to g!ve Homebody \u25a0 toughscrap for an infield job and;it will beup to Long to s-aylhe word as to which,man beats him out. :

Referee Unable to Pick WinnerAfter Fast and Furious

Four Round Mill

Otto Berg-, the northwestern middleweight, and "Brick" Burgess boxed fourwhirlwind rounds last night at Dream-

jland. The referee was unable to namea winner. It was \u25a0 good, tough tight

1 with plenty of action, and . the 'drawdecision met with gen arelapproval.

; It was action from the time the songsounded until the finish and the crowd

j enjoyed it. Berg went after. Burgessat the outset as if he waa after a knock-oat; but the local scrapper proved atartar and fought back -iv game fash*ion. It was slug from the outset and

I the boys did not let up at any time.-'I In the opening- round Berg started off;as if he were going to win. He. hadthe better of Burgees in the opening

I session and boxed well. Burgessseemed to warm up to his work, as he

(improved In the second and held Bergeven. There was plenty of action at all,times. *

Home of the fans were of the opinionthat Burgess had \u25a0 shade in the thirdsession, but the margin was slight. In

; the fourth both lighters stood up andI mixed it, with honors about even.There were no knockdowns and a drawseemed to be a fair verdict.

: Autono La Grave won a -four round(decision from his old rival, Johnny Mc-Carthy. The latter seems to have

jslowed up considerably, and La Gravecleverly outboxed him.
