WEATHER PERFECT FOR EARLY DRILL New York, March 17 (U.R) It could be "sour grapes," but every major league manager had reason tonight to say: "What has Florida, or California got that we don't have right when we are?" And before that brings down an answering barrage from the chambers of commerce in the sometimes sunny south and west, the manager may have to admit that the current "heat wave" In the north Is only temporary. By next week the usual spring snows, rain, and cold weather may be back with them. i The north spring training born of war-time necessity, is nothing better-than a stop-gap measure, but this year for the first time since it began, the weather has been perfect.
