No Foolishness Is Allowed In Modern Training Camp
(Last of a Series)
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—The 16 major league clubs will head for Florida, California, Louisiana, ‘Texas and Mississippi this month to engage in six weeks of intensive spring training for the opening of the baseball season April 18. They'll spend more than $600,000 conditioning the players, trying out rookies and engaging in exhibition games.
Spring training, 1938 variety, is a ®
far cry from the training camp of the old days. Pop Anson, manager and first baseman of the Chicago White Stockings (Nationals) is popularly credited with holding the first spring training camp. After winning the pennant in 1885 the stars of the White Stockings rested on their laurels during the winter and came back sadly out of condition. Many of them were hog fat from too much rich food and beer. “It's impossible to open the season with this club,” said Anson. “You men will have to go to Hot Springs and take the baths.” That's how the first training camp started. Other clubs picked up the idea and nowadays even the minor league clubs go South for their preliminary work. Florida alone will play host to 22 major and minor league clubs. If Anson gets the credit for establishing the first training camp, John J. McGraw should be awarded the honor of popularizing and developing spring training. It was MecGraw who battled to get the leading hotels to accept the ballplayers as guests. The old-time ballplayer was far from a model citigen. He was rowdy, ill-mannered at meal time and inclined to embarrass the hotel's other guests. But McGraw spared no expense in housing his athletes and he finally induced the better hotels to cater to the Giants. McGraw was the first manager to take a club to California to train, going there way back in 1910. Later he took the Giants to Marlin, Tex. which in its day was perhaps the most colorful and finest of all camps. It was at Marlin where MecGraw and his court, which included the jovial, fun-loving Wilbert Robjuszom, engaged in many of the oldime pranks which made the train.
ing camp famous for its horseplay and hilarity. a
But the days of sending rookies on snipe hunt§, initiating the newcomer into the sudden return of the traveling salesman and other pranks
are forever gone from training N
camps as far as the ballplayers are concerned. Training nowadays deadly serious business, Some of the
clubs spend from $40,000 to $50,000 EB to get their athletes in condition |J

Occasionally a club like the Yankees or a pennant winner with a
big drawing card can show a profit a
on spring training. When Babe Ruth was in his heyday with the Yanks they frequently made money during a long exhibition tour. Once they showed $60,000 profit. may do it again with Joe DiMaggio as the big magnet, The Giants under Bill Terry also have collected big money during their spring tours. Terry's theory has been to shift camps every spring, and draw down a guarantee from the city which the Giants deign to honor. Several cities have paid the Giants $10,000 to train within their borders, Last year the Giants were at Havara, but this spring they move to Baton Rouge, La. where the state is building a ball park for them. The Cubs’ permanent training base at Catalina Island off the California Coast is perhaps the best training camp. On this island P. K. Wrigley puts his athletes up in style at

Marshall-Roche Match Tops Card
Two of the most skilled matmen to participate in local wrestling “wars” will trade grips in the Armory headliner tomorrow night when Everett Marshall faces Dorve (Iron Man) Roche at the Armory. Marshall is recognized as a leading contender for the heavyweight title. Roche, with more than a dozen victories to his credit this season, has been a real “standout” and a favorite with local fans. He is fast, tricky and aggressive. The two huskies weigh around 220. The first appearance here of Silent Rattan, 177, deaf mute matman, will serve as an added feature. Rattan meets Pete Sherman in one of the supporting bouts. In the other, Warren Bockwinkle, 217, St. Louis, opposes John Katan, 217, claimant of the Canadian heavyweight crown.

MARTINSVILLE, Feb, 7.—Glenn Curtis is one Indiana coach who teaches his students to step in waltz tempo through the first 20 or so dances of the annual Hoosier Basket Ball, not minding if they stumble
several times.
But when he begins to toot the “Victory Song” in March-time, the
early exhibitionists stare while his®
boys swing out with the big leather apple, often dancing right up to where the state championship plaques are handed out. “Master-Mind” is an apt title for Curtis because he's the gentleman who invented the idea of bringing an apparently fair team through the March goal festival after almost every other ball club had been picked to win. At least, if he’s not the inventor, he must be the inventor’s cousin, because he got in on the ground floor. The 1037-38 copy is a typical Curtis Club. Bedford chisseled one loss in the Artesian pail early in the season and Anderson hacked another. Beaten by Blue Devils
When December and the year were dying, Vincennes gave the Curtismen a 31-to-20 beating at Vincennes. Martinsville won a New Year's tourney, then Shortridge of Indianapolis whaled the Artesians, 29 to 22. Last Friday, Greencastle put the first blemish on Martinsville’s South Central record with a 30-to-25 beating. So far, that's all the losses. Balanced against them are 15 victories. The loss to Bedford was redeemed Jan. 28 with a two-point triumph; the loss to Vincennes they expect to atone for when the Alices come here for the year’s finale Feb. 23. They won't see Anderson or Shortridge unless it’s in the state finals, but they think they could handle either “the next time.”
Team Well Balanced
Curtis has a tall, well-balanced team, and is blessed with several capable substitutes. Theirs is no high-speed style of play but they have enough pace to keep up with most of the prep “fire departments.” The start of the second semester brought two able men, Charles Neal and Morris Self, to the Artesian cast. Both dropped out of school at midterm last year and thus were not eligible for competition during the first half of the current year. Self played the last 10 minutes of the Bedford game, pouring in four vital points on free throws and demonstrating how much stronger the team will be with his added support. Floor leader of the Artesians is husky Joe Prewitt, who operates at guard and sets off the Artesian offense. As his running mate, Prewitt has either Harry (Monk) Burleigh or Mervin Carmen. In most of Martinsville’s games, George (Wig) Pearcy, tall center, has been on the business end of the heaviest scoring. His production is added to by Bill Shane and Gene Weddle, who share forward duties with Self, A rocky road still lies ahead for Martinsville. But don’t be surprised if you see this smooth-work-ing basketball buggy come chugging around the bend of State Road 37 and into Butler's Meldhouse March 26 for the finals. You can be sure, if his boys do come through,
that Mr. Curtis won't evince sur-|3}

Division of the prize money was held up pending a protest by Horton Smith, who said that Tony Penna had improved his lie on a green when the ball was not imbedded in the turf. Penna argued that the ball was buried and the tournae ment committee ruled in his favor, The tournament was played under winter rules because the course was in a soggy condition.
