Chicago, April 6 By reason of the bad weath- this spring It Is estimated that the sixteen 'major league baseball clubs have lost at least 150,000, and the southern training trlp have been little else, so far as the magnates are von.cerned, than a chance to spend tbeii profits of last season by giving their players a toleiably pleasant Jaunt thruout the land of cotton This Is the estimate of President Charles A. Comiskey of the Chicago American league club, after a mental survey of the situation and a few calculations based on the reports from the training in the dally papers. The spring of 1006 will long be known as the moat disastrous training year in baseball history, and this condition is emphasized because practically every one of clubs in the American and National leagues soujjht the south to prepare for the season's grind and Incidentally to pick up training expenses thru exhibition As the method nowadays is to depend largely on outdoor work for the conditioning process a ballplayer rather than a gymnasium, it Is generally believed that the men of" both leagues will not be in the same shape next week '(bat they were last year and previous seasons.

Burlington, Iowa, April 8.The millers and Ned Egan's pathfinders enjoyed two fine workouts at Athletic park yesterday. The men all showed up in midseason form and Captain "Lefty" Davis was as happy as a bird over their work. Especially noticeable was the fielding of Hart, who officiated in the sun field to the complete satisfaction of Davis and the dismay of the men who were knocking out files in his direction. These men wanted to make the big, curlyheaded fellow lose ont on some of their drives, and so tliey aimed a good share of their hot ones in his direction. Hart evidently caught on to their scheme, for be was more than usually alert and did not miss one of their liners, altho the sun was shining fiercely in his face.

The pitchers are all loosening up and are getting their shoots to going in the way they want them. Ford was the center of interest yesterday with a new ball with which he was experimenting This ball floats lazily toward the batsman and just as he is reaching out for it breaks and crosses the plate down near his Ankles It is a deceiver almost every time it Is used, but Ford has not got it down pat yet and will not use It In the games for the present. Sessions and Kllroy showed excellent form in the workouts. Davis, with the assistance of Ned Egan of this city, has devised a scheme to get up a perspiration fur the men after the practice. It Is about two miles and a balf from the barber shop where the teams remove the grime of their practice to the park, and Is down hill all the wav in After the last practice Wednesday morning the leaders corraled their men and in stead of letting them board a car for the city, thev started them off in a bunch and at a run towards town.

The men kept the pace very well, and only one or two of them dropped out, with the result that when they reached their baths they had lost at least a pound or two of superfluous fleslj each. These runs will continue every day. SHARKEY AND ROONEY TO TUMBLE ON MAT Journal Special Service. Chicago, April 5 Sailor Tom Sharkey and John J.
