BEGIN TRAINING ! All Major League Ball Clubs’ Open Southern Camps By Henry L. Farrell. (U. I’. Staff Correspondent) New York, Feb. 24. —(United Press) —All the major league ball clubs are in their spring training camps or are getting ready to move southward and within a comparatively few weeks, baseball again will be the big sport talk. Qwncrs who have their money invested in the game were concerned not so long ago about the effect on the customers of all the scandal talk but they seem confident again that a bigger and better season is approaching. There may be more interest in t6o pennant raws this season than last, because so many changes have been made in both the American and National league that 1926 form and figures cannot be applied accurately. The New York Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics are getting serious attention. ' John McGraw has made changes in the team since it flopped into the second division last year and there, is no doubt that he wants to celebrate I his twenty-fifth anniversary as man- ( ager of the club by winning a pennant.

But there are other clubs in the league that will be decidedly in the' running. The St. Louis Cardinals won the pennant last year in the National league and the Cincinnati Reds were { only two games in the rear. The Pittsburgh Pirates have a strong club, and so have the Chicago Cubs. The Giants, McGraw believes, will ( be stronger, with Rogers Hornsby on second base and with Eddie Roush' playing Centerfield. If Connie Mack hadn't busied himself Ao much since the world's series in revamping the Athletics, the I champion New York Yankees prob-1 ably would have started the season as the favorite to win. Cleveland Indians, after the good race they made last season, certainly can’t be ruled out of the battle with a wave of the hand. If there is to be any upset in the American league as there was last year whtffi the Yankees ran away with the pennant, it may be supplied by the Detroit Tigers. o Long Hours Os Posing By Models Eliminated Chicago, — (United Press) — The possibility of carrying on sculpturing without the usual long hours of posing is seen through the invention by two Chicagoans of a. sierescQpic motion pi< tme camera.

Henry Held Example For Ohio Convicts Columbus, 0., Feb. 24.—(U. I’.)— “O. Henry" was the pseudonym used i by W. S. Porter after July 24, 1901, and it was under that name he won his reputation as one of the world's ' greatest short story writers. I But the pen-name before July 24, 1901, was not a name but a number. From April 25, 1828, until 3 years and ’ 4 months afterwards, W. S.

Iry's later achievements in the world of letters as an example to the men in prison, suggesting that "a record" need not prevent them from attaining success. ON Henry was 31 years old in April 1898, when ho entered Ohio peniten-' tlary. While in the penitentiary, Number 30664 was assigned to work ' in the pharmacy. Early training as a pharmacist enabled him to fill such a position. • Although biographers generally, agree that O. Henry was not guilty,| that he was not even employed at the Austin, Texas bank on one of the days upon which he was charged with embezzling $1,153, and that he was convicted largely because of his flight, to South America, the “O. P. News” concerns itself but little over that possibility. It only mentions that W. Sydney Porter “served time” behind Hie walls of Ohio penitentiary, and left behind him a record that all prisoners would do well to emulate. 0 — Mrs. Fred Mills spent the day in Fort Wayne visiting with friends.
