Five Clubs Plan to Condition
Nearer Home May Post
pone Season Opening.
By Paul Scheffels
United Press Correspondent
New York, Dec. 23 (U.PJ
The entire spring training pro
gram of the major league base
ball clubs faced drastic revis
ions today and possibility of
postponement of the season's
opening developed as five clubs
planned a switch to conditioning
sites close to home.
The New York Giants, St.
Louis Cardinals and New York
Yankees followed a 24-hour-old
move by the Brooklyn Dodgers,
by abandoning their 1943 Flor
ida training camps to help cur
tail wartime transportation
problems. The Philadelphia Ath
letics announced plana to train
at Savannah, Ga, several days
ago.
- A letter from Commissioner
Kenesaw M. Land is requesting
all major league clubs to ar
range spring bases further north
to acquiesce to a demand by
ODT Director Joseph B. East
man for lesa unessential travel
in 1943 made the Giants cut
loose from tl.elr Miami, Fla..
camp and the Cardlrols and
Yankees simultaneously relin
quish their St. Petersburg, Fla.,
headquarters.
The Dodgers gave up plans to
train at West Palm Beach, Fla.,
for the same reason Monday.
Hence, if most of the clubs are
to train close to or even on their
own home territory, the ooeni 'z
of the season may have to be sell
back two or three weeks. Such e
possibility will be discussed at
the February meetings of the
major leagues.
Giants Secretary Eddie Bran
nick also disclosed cancellation
of 10 spring training games
along the Grapefruit circuit
with the Cleveland Indians, a
series that was to have been

would do their early training In

Democracy's heavy artillery. ..firing harder than ever
In
every newspaper plant in the country, the
presses are rolling at top speed . . . firing projec
tiles as vital to our victory as bullets or bombs.
We have always been a news-hungry people,
but crisis whets our appetite. In this greatest crisis
of all, we are hungrier than ever, not only for the
news itself, but also for guidance and instruction
on the countless vital problems that face a free
people at war.
It's a hunger that only newspapers can satisfy.
Yean before World War II, the nation's news
papers were already retooling to meet this
greater demand. Foreign services were strength
ened . . . overseas communications reinforced . . .
picture services refined and expanded. Increas
ingly, as war came closer and finally struck, news-
T HI
papers were giving us not only the news but also
, . . through words and maps and pictures ... a
better understanding of each day's events.
This clearer understanding of what the war
means, and why we must win it, is the foundation
of a democracy's strength in battle. Through it
we are learning how to sacrifice, how to conserve,
how each of us in our own way can contribute to
victory. Being thus well-informed, we are much
farther along the road.
Other ways of learning things we have in pro
fusion. But nearly all of us turn to newspapers
every day as our basic source of information.
Through them . . . through the ads as well as the
news columns ... we are adding every day to the
knowledge we must have to do our part in the war.
