THE WORLD OF SPORTS !
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.

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

price of 'a day's battling in Europe.

laborers in the baseball field just

Harry Frazce has done the very
thing the Red Sox needed done. He's
put real pep into his catching depart
ment. '

other frills, would have won the pen

WILD CALL OF SPRING IS SEND
1NG PLAYERS SOrTHWARD
Pennant Hunt for 1018 Season Ap
pears to Ho a Guess White- Sox
In American League and Giants in
National Are the Forecasts,
By H. 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.

lets, typewriter paper, pens, ink,
