three of the Yankees to be heard from
before the New York party will be com

Jean Dubuc, pitcher of the Detroit
club, arrived 011 the noon train yester
day with instructions from llughey Jen
nings to take a course of the baths and
exercises to relieve himself of an ac
cumulation of superfluous flesh gathered
over winter. Dubuc will be followed in
a day or two by Catcher Oscar Stan
age, Donnie Bush and Pitcher Dauss, of
the Tigers.
They rwill be all {lie players Jennimgs
will send to the Spa. Instead of sending
his entire battery staffs he has picked
out only those of his players who have
a tendency to take 011 flesh. Dubuc.
looks like he needed an early start, and
Bush always gets plump as" soon as he
quits playing ball iu the fall. Oscar
tStanage finds it harder every year' to
got into shape, and he figures this year
to do a lot of catching for a clu r o that
has a chance for the pennant. I
Dubuc arrived in time to get some
action with the Yankees in the after
noon. He got into a Now Y'ork uniform
and worked out at the ball park with
them, but he did not go through the
full course prescribed by Scout Kelley
for his charges.
Kejley put his program in force yes
terday for the first time. He took "the
boys for a five-mile jog over the hills
that lie close to the town. In the after
noon Kelley put the players through an
other stiff workout at the ball park,
and sent home a bunch of tired and
hungry athletes.

of a prosperous corner grocer, has
adopted heroic measures to get into

: and sweaters until he could scarcely
get down to the ground for a low ball.
' Kelley took no pity on him, and made
him run all the way back to the hotel.
Keating has takeu to training with
sincerity and declares he will be "in

For the Dodgers
Brooklyn, Feb. 19.—Jack Coombs,
who was a veritable iron man when he
pitched for the Athletics, has notified
Manager Robinson, of the Dodgers, that
he will jfo South with the team next

Coombs insists he has entirely recover
ed from the ailment that has kept him
idle since 1911.
Coombs accepted a Brooklyn con

is able to come back the Dodgers'
chances will be materiaJly increased. '

FRANK BAKER'S SALARY
Clean Up Slugger Not the Highest
Salaried Man on Athletics
If l-'raak Baker quits baseball it will
not make as big a difference in Mack's
[iav roll as might be supposed. Baker,
itw understood, is not the high-salaried
individual that his prowess as a clean
up /'hitter might indicate. It is said
that the Trappe slugger signed a three
year contract last swing calling for
14 ,500 a season. Baker is said not to
be -dissatisfied with his salary, and yet
it would not be at all surprising if he
would change his mind about quitting
the game if his pay was increased at
the rat." of $1,500 a season. But it is
not likely that Mack will add aay liter*
senary bakn which might change the
mind of the sturdy Baker. Mack has
explained that lie is not in a position
to pay exorbitant salaries, and he will
not.
There must 'be something more be
hind Baker's ultimatum to drop the
sport than a mere desire to spend his
time on his farm. A player of Baker's
ability can earn enough in baseball to
make* it well worth his while to leave
the farm to someone else.—Washing

League team, will sign agiin with that

expected to organize a team
for Lancaster, but he says he was un
able to do it for lack of financial en
couragement. He has the promise of
Manager Noonan, of Wilkes-Barre, that
if a team is organized here later, and
Deal is wanted for Lancaster, he will
release him. The chances are very small
of Lancaster being in any league this

LINCOLN'S KIND HEART.
It Bhowed Itself In His Aversion to the
Death Penalty.
It la related that one day a mail Oame
lo Lincoln with a sad title. 111 M son
Imtl been sentenced to death, un ouly
sou too. Uiicoln said kindly:
"I atu sorry 1 can do nothing for you.
Listen .to this telegram I received from
General Butler yesterday," and he read
the following:
"President Lincoln—l pray yon not to
Interfere with the courts ruartlal of the
army. You will destroy all discipline
among our soldiers."
Llucolu watched the old man's grief
for a minute and then exclaimed:
"By jingo: Butler ar uo Butler, here
goes:"
Then he wrote:
"Job White is not to be shot until
further orders from ine."
"Why," said the old man sadly, "1
thought It was a pardon. You may
order him shot next week."
"My old friend." replied Lincoln, "l
see you are not very well acquainted
with me. If your son never dies till
orders come from me to shoot him "lie
will live to be a great deal older than
Methuselah."
One day a woman, accompanied by
a seuator. called ou President Lincoln,
t The woman was the wife of one of
Mosby's men. Her husband had been
captured, tried and condemned to be
shot. She came to ask for the pardon
of her ftusbuud. Lincoln heard her
story and then asked what kind of a
husband her husband was.
"Is lie intemperate: does he abuse the
children and beat you?" asked the pres
ident.
"No. no." said the wife. "He is a
good man. a good husbaud: he loves uie
and he loves the children, and we can
not live without him. The only trou
ble is that he is a fool about politics.
I live in the north and was born there,
and if I got him home he will do no
more fighting for the south."
"Well," said Lincoln, after examining
the papers, "I will pardon him and
turn him over to you for safekeeping."
The woman, overcome with joy. be
gan to sob as though her heart would
break.
"My dear woman." said Lincoln, "if
I had known how badly it was going
to make you feel I never would have
pardoned him."
"Ton do not understand me," she
cried between sobs.
"Yes. yes. I do," answered Lincoln.
"And If you do not go away at once 1
shall he crying with you."
