BASEBALL SEASON OPENS IN
SOUTH; CLUBS ARE TRAINING;
CAMPS ARE SCATTERED NOW
NEW YORK. Feb. 27 Heralding
the approach of spring and another
diamond campaign, advance caravans
of nearly all of the 16 major league
baseball clubs now are on their wav
south for the annual conditioning
process- Training camps, scattered
in lands of the palmetto and casl.us
from Florida to Catalina Island, Cal.,
will be in full swing for all of the
clubs by the second week of March.
For the veteran.-., the next six
weeks’ or so of conditioning and ex
hibition pastiming will mean she 1
ding excess poundage acquired dur
ing tho winter lay-off and limbering
up for competition with eager and
ambitious recruits, hundreds of whom
will strive for big league positions
for the first time in their careers.
This .rivalry for regular berths
promises to be especially keen among
several clubs going through a marked
process of reorganization, including
the Cleveland and Boston Americans,
and the Brooklyn, Chicago and St.
Louis Nationals.
Interest among fans is centered
largely in tho prospects of the New'
York Giants and Yankees repeating
their triumphs cf the past twi sea
sons in the face of increasing
strength among several of their more
dangerous rivals.
Leaguers Confident
While they are not discounting the
opposition they will encounter this
year. Jlanugors McGraw, of the
Giants, and Huggins, of the Yankees,
are confident their teams will keep
the National and American Leagu>
pennants in the oamo city fur the
third straight year.
Both pilots declare their teams will
be decidedly stronger, although they
plan relatively little rebuilding. The
.Pittsburgh Pirates, in McGraw’s opin
Ion, loom as the club the Giants must
eliminate to stay at the top of the
heap, while the Yankee leader ex
pects his strongest battle from T.v
Cobb's Detroit Tigers. Cincinnati,
in the National, and St. Louis, in the
American, are picked as the next
strongest contenders by the metro
politan club managers.
McGraw has announced that he will
stand pat on his 1922 championship
lineup, wiih the possible exception
of ccntcrfield. devoting most of lids
attention to bolstering weaknesses in
tho pitching staff which nearly cost
t.ho club the pennant last season.
.Timmv O'Connell. $75,000 "ph.-nom"
from San Francisco, is expected to
fill the berth in midfield, but McOraw
will glvo the veteran Casey Stengel,
whose come-back was a sensation last
year, and Bill Cunningham an oppor
tunity to contest for tho job with til •
coast youngster.
Figure on Bentley
Jack Bentley, another expensive
Requisition, is expected to add con
idderablo strength to tho pitching
corps. Bentley starred both as a
liortside Dinger and slugger with the
Baltimore Orioles for several years,
but his work with tho champions will
be confined to the mound, according
McOraw. The Giant leader has a
dioxen or more recruits from whom
be hopes to weed out another twirl
ing star. Ho also looks for decided
Improvement from hi.s veterans—
Hugh McQuillan, Jack Scott, Art
N'ehf and Jess Barnes —besides great-'
ftr effectiveness from younger
itioundsmen like Bill Ryan, Claud?
Jonnard and Virgil Barnes.
'Pittsburgh’s veteran and hard-hit
ting aggregation, in McGraw’s belief,
will prove a formidable obstacle, un
der the leadership of Bill MeKeehnie.
who took the Pirate helm around
roid-soason last year and developed
tho club into a dangerous contender
1n the closing month of the cam
paign
Cincinnati's Infield
i'j Cincinnati, reorganized with a bril
liant young infield and good pitching.
'41ao figures strongly in MoGraw's
calchlatlons. while tho Chicago Cubs,
lirith a pitching staff above the or
dinary, promise to bear watching.
Hoggins bases much of his coufi
donee in 1923 prospect.! upon his be
lief that 1 hr Yankee pitching staff,
the deciding factor in hist year's
nice, will be cv.n more consist nt
thi3 year and that Babe Ruth, if he
returns to 1921 form, will bolster
the morale and attacking strength of
the club.
The d' ninutlve pilot figures Carl
Mays an.l Sam Jones, whoso pitching
was a disappointment last season,
will flash old-time form, while Hob
Shawkey and Joe Bush, 1922 main
stays, will be more effective thin
ever. Ruth's lotermlnation to regain
the homo-run hitting laurels he lost
last year, has been demonstrated by
the strict program of conditioning to
which ho tidhored during the winter
on his Massachusetts farm.
The Tigers, formidable last s"is >n,
will be much stronger, according to
the Yankee view, as a result of the
acquisition of Del Pratt, veteran sec
ond baseman, and Rip Collins, south
paw t wirier, from the Red Sox. In
exchange for Howard Ehmke, pitch
er. Cobb lias an unusual array of
heavy hitters, flanked by a promis
ing corps ci young pitchers a com
bination which will he hard to keep
from the top.
The St. Louis Browns, unless they
are strengthened in several positions,
are not rated as high as last year,
when they finished just a game be
hind the Yankees in a thrilling fin
ish, nor as dangerous as the Tigers.
The Chicago White Sox, With a
team that developed fast last year
and boasted a brilliant striae of
young pitchers, and Connie Mack’s
Athletics, who are about due to
emerge from the depths, may figure
prominently in this season's pennant
chase.,
Florida is the most popular train
ing ground this year, seven clubs
choosing the Everglades state for
their conditioning. Texas, Alabama
and Arkansas each have two clubs
in their confines, while Louisiana.
Georgia and California each have
one.

he was di .satisfied with the Chicago

claiming that it would be an aid to
