Major League Training Due (By Th AseoeUted Preset Major league baseball's 1950 spr ing training season opens tomor row and each of the 18 camp sites will house at least one "question mark." The world champion New York Yankees, for instance anxiously will be watching Joe PiMaggion. Johnny Mize and Tommy Henrich go through their paces. The questions: Has Dimaggio recovered com pletely from the heel ailment that kept him out of the lineup in his team's first 65 games last yaar? Has Mize recovered from a shoulder injury that relegated the big cat to pinch-hitting chorea only during the stretch drive? Has Henrick recuperated from a shoulder injury that caused him to plsy out the 1949 season in a corset? The St. Louis Cardinals, who like the Ysnks, train at St. Peter burg, also have a number of oues tion marks. These include first basemen Nippy Jonea and Steve Rilko, shortstop Marty Marion and third baseman Eddie Kazak. ' Jonea is recovering from a back operation. Bilko has undergone a leg operation. The Philadelphia Phillies, condi tioning st Clearwater, will center their attention on Eddie Waitkus, first baseman, shot by a deranged girl in a Chicago hotel last year. Waitkus hss been at the Phil base for some time and reports him self in shape. At Tampa, where the Cincinnati Reds will train, the No. 1 brow wrinkler is Ewell Blackwell, Lan ky sidesrm righthsnder.
