SPRING TRAINING ARRIVE

HE baseball boys soon will begin to toss that old horsehide around and the New York Giants will start the ball rolling in training camp. . . . The first squad is due to depart for Havana, Cuba, tomorrow, where the National League champions will establish their main training base. . « « Four and a half months have elapsed since the 1936 World Series, when all big leaguers scattered to their homes to allow sports goers to switch to the “big” football games. . . . Spring training news is relished by the fans as they watch the gossip drifting out of the many camps, stretching from Florida to California and down into Cuba and Mexico. Next week the Philadelphia Athletics will open their camp in Mexico City and by March 10 all major clubs will be in full swing. . .. The Chicago Cubs are the latest starters this year. od # ” LL American Association teams shifted camps this year and will be found in four states, four in Texas, two in Florida, one in Mississippi and one in Kentucky. . « » Indianapolis will make the shortest hop, to the Blue Grass state, and Manager Killefer thinks his pastimers will

be just as well off. ”

Mvril, with one misfortune after another, never ctarted with the Yankees and his near-fatal accident last season sent him out of baseball. . He probably will wind up his big career with no one knowing just how good he actually was.
