Hia LEAGUE CLUBS MAY TRAIN IX IV S. CAMPS By H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Stuff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Jan. 23 There Isn't the faintest shadow of a doubt that the American soldier is the biggest thing in the American heart. And nowhere is It more evident than in sports. Baseball is practically sacrificing everything to give baseball to train ing camps next Spring. The Reds niny, In fact, do their spring training nt Camp Sheridan, Ala., instead of going to Shreveport, as in the past. The Braves and Yankees, who have been playing a schedule of games every spring on their wny north from Georgia, are booking all training camps on the way for this ' yean More ball player are going to be ' in the National army before spring rolls around. And a great many of '-them are going to be big leaguers. Baseball should get its big push in the army along With-other pushes. Baseball, in fact should emoVge'from ' the big game more staunch than ever in the hearts of the American people, Harry Sparrow is tired of having Yankee grips and things battered around by baggage smashers. And he evidently doesn't believe govern ment control of railways Is going to have any good effect on baggago hnudlers, for he has made arrange ments to have baggage of the Yan kees enclosed next Spring In steel cases. The new steel cases, Sparrow be lieves, also will be easier for ball players to handle. And ball players, the world knows, take no back seats at no time for dressiness. It is the common belief In baseball circles that Roger HornRby 1ms played his last ball game for the Cardinals. Even Miller Huggins, boss of the Yankees and former lead er of the Cardinals, believes it. Hornsby, it is declared, is eligible for the draft, and probably will be taken. If Bosses Rickey and Hend ricks can null sufficient wires to get a batch of ball players in exchange for the young star it is believed they might be induced to do it. Again Hornsby is dissatisfied In St. Louis, for he has the opinion ho can get mre money for his services in one of the larger cities. SPITBALL FAST LOSING FAVOR. - NEW YORK, Jan. 21.

Bohnenkarnp Company Goodyear Service Station taken by the American association to eliminate use of the spitball is destin ed to blaze a path of reform in base ball, The aims of Gov. John K. Tell er, president of the National league; Bail' Johnson, president of the Ameri can league, and other leaders in the game may yet be arrived at in govern ing pitchers. Gov. Tener was one of the first to take a stand against the use of the spitball. A pitcher himself, he held that it not only was an unnecessary subterfuge, but was insanitary and disgusting to many spectators. Ban Johnson has relieved himself of practically the same sentiments. There are, in fact, only .a few magnates who really believe the delivery should be allowed. American association pitchers will be watched with interest during the coming season. American associat ion hatting records also will come in for close scrutiny, for it is the con tention of foes of the spitball that the delivery interferes with free bat ting, something a fan wants to see whenhe pays for entrance to a ball game. - Prices paid for ball players in re cent days put to shame previous at tempts to set records in high sums. It used to be that $5,000 was a tre mendous price to pay for a ball player. There was a time not so long ago when' Dan Tipple and other comers were referred to as beauties, with the amount of their purchase hung onto the front end. And now. Oh, boy! Grover Cleve land Alexander was just sold for the price of 'a day's battling in Europe. Wally Schang and some of his co laborers in the baseball field just changed who offers less than a for. tunc nowadays for a ball player is in the piker class. Harry Frazce has done the very thing the Red Sox needed done. He's put real pep into his catching depart ment. ' The addition of Scharig, without any other frills, would have won the pen nant a year ago for the Red Sox One capable catcher was all the Red Sn-t hud. He went through a strenu ous season, and Sam Afjnew is only human. He had to falter a little bit. Astoria Government lets contracts for eight morp wooden vessels here. o Aro Your Sewers Clogged?

C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Jan. 23. The wild call of Spring is about to send the athletes hieing southward. And the hieing this year Is going to be con siderably more afflicted with lono- someness than at any other time within the memory of major leaguers and other spangled favorites of the populace. The faces present, as a matter of fact will look like a new layout for many of the upper baseball class. A glance into the army and navy would locate many of tho players who last year were among those present. The pennant hunt in the 1918 sea son appears from a long distance glance to be just as much of a guess as it was a year ago. Transfers that have been made during the winter, while benefitting some clubs, and laying injury on others, nevertheless, leaves a balance in both big leagues that should make the dash, from bar rier to the finish, a hot one. In the minds of most fans, of course, there will be a spark of fav oritism for the White Sox in the American league and for the Giants in the National league. Just as in pugilism, baseball is prone to string along with the old champion until tho sawdust has been kicked out of its doll. But there Isn't a thing certain in baseball. The late Harry Pulllam made famous the remark: "Take nothing for granted In baseball." There are clubs in either league, which, If given the right start, kept free of Injuries, and allowed to pro ceed at an even pace down the field, would be fully capable of getting under the wire first. Injuries to this or that club might intervene. Seme star might crack and leave a void that could not be filled. The top-notch baseball club, as a mi.ttcr of course, must be a smoothly running machine. It must have no dissension; its players must he friendly and willing to pull together at all times. If there is a baseball club not possessing these attributes no matter how strong its potentlnl ability may look, lay a few shekels that It cannot finish ahead. Mere grey-matter, ability to knock base balls over fences, and to field like demons all are swept asld - when tho work of grieved feelings creeps Into a baseball club. Happily, dissension has been driv en out of most clubs in the big leagues with greatest emphasis laid on the first division gangs. There was a time not so very long aiL.o when things were not going overly nicely among clubs that had been picked to win pennants, and for that reason they were left In the rear. It's called temperament In some quarters, but the real definition for the trouble-maker on a baseball club is "no-good." Chicago is going to have some thing to say about both pennants. St. LoulB cannot be counted out or the National league first division, au'i no more can tho Reds. The Dodgers and Braves have added strength. The Pirates, while strong er than a year ago, still look like a bad ball club, and the same goes for the former efficient Philadelphia Na tional league club. Cleveland will not be able to pre sent so strong an array this year. Boston has been strengthened some In the American league, and tho Na tional league club looks cheerier. The Yanks, with a new manager, may start all over. The Athletes and Browns are hopeless proposi tions. Tho Tigers are barely weak er than a year ago.
