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.
