Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 November 1908 — Naps’ New Training System. [ARTICLE]

Naps’ New Training System.

Manager Lajole of the Cleveland Americans has sprung the latest spring training innovation. “No exhibition games for the Naps during the training ’season,” says Lajole. The Naps will I spend the early part of the spring in Mobile and will then jump to New Orleans after the Philadelphia AmerJ-

cans have finished their stay at that point. From New Orleans the Naps will go directly to the city their season is scheduled to open in without any games played on the road. Lajoie believes that the benefit of a straight six weeks* series of work together will do his players far more good than jumping around tbe country and playing exhibition games with a lot of weak and inferior teams. The experiment will be watched with interest by all the other managers and magnates. Grant, Minnesota’s Now Track Coach.
