It 1st understood that Rickard will make i Baden, the start being scheduled for March and four days later the other players will mobilize there to remain for a full week, before going on to Hot Springs, for the second stage of the preliminary work. It is probable that several more re-, leases will be announced by the local club during the next week, for it is not believed that all of the men now on the roster will be taken to camp.

Jack Wisner was turned loose 'j last week, and it is believed that others are to follow. An official of the local club yes-I terday stated that the Pittsburgh club had waived claim on Chuck Deal, thus making it possible for the Cai- cago Cubs to send him to the Pacifio coaat as part payment for Arnold Statz.

Such cocksure confidence is not shared about the Giants, all around the. National league circuit.

Six weeks without Babe Ruth and Meusel wil give some other team a chance to step out and open some distance that Miller Hug-gins might have trouble in closing. There is no assurance that the hurling staff will be as great as It now looks.

Carl Mays is on one of his temperamental tantrums demanding a new contract with a big raise. The Yanks say he will abide by his existing con-tract or go to some other club. Great a pitcher as he is, his contract might not be appealing to other managers.

Johnny, although sick the early months of last season, came back in July and before the end of the season pitched 11 complete games, finished "tP four others, and closed the season eixth among the leading 10 pitchers of the. league. While he pitched fewer games than any of the. leading 10, he tied the league records for shutouts, having three to his credit, lie also holds the league record for allowing the least hits for the season, 131, and he held his opponents to an average of only 2.S7 runs per nine-inning game.

His control is execellent, only 33 of the 062 batters facing him getting a free ticket to first. All of which goes to prove that Johnny Morrison has the goods and is a valuable addition to Gibson's unusually strong staff of hurlers. John Morrison is 25 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs lea pounds. He bats and throws right Handed. Philip Morrison was bora 24 years ago, weighs 190 pounds, and his height of feet 2 Inches entitles him to distinction of being i the tallest man on the Pirate roster since the departure of big Jack Wisner.
