SPRING BASEBALL TALK.
Dixieland Will Be Invaded by the
Major League Clubs This Month.

Memphis, Feb. within a few weeks
diamonds in Dixieland will be occupied
by hundreds of National and American
league players and almost every section
will be invaded by the major leaguers in
search Of mild weather for ante-season
practice. Commencing late in February
the influx of ball players with clubs in
the larger and lesser leagues will COM
mence to arrive and all previous records
promise to be broken from a glance at
the list of clubs which have already an
nounced their southern itinerary. Every
club in the National league is booked
for some section of the south and all
but one of the American league clubs
will condition their players south of the
Mason and Dixon line.
The list of clubs, with the training
spots selected by the National leaguers,
is: Pittsburg at Hot Springs, New York
in BIRMINGHAM, Brooklyn in Columbia,
5. C., St Louis in Texas, Philadelphia
in Savannah, Cincinnati in Dallas, Bos-
ton in Thomasville, Ga, Chicago in Los
Angeles.
The American. league clubs that have
announced their plans for the southern
training season are: Cleveland at San
Antonio, Tex; Boston at Macon, Ga;
Washington at home; st. Louis at Cor
slcana, Tex; Philadelphia at Spartan
burg, s. C.; Chicago at Marlin Springs,
Tex; New York at Atlanta, Ca; De
troit at Shreveport, La.
Games will be played with Southern
league clubs by many of the northern
teams, and southerners in anticipating
the outcome of these games predict at
least an even break. Many old timers
who have been found wanting in ability
in former years in major league circles,
and who found employment in the
Southern league, will be missing from
the ranks of southern teams the coming
season, for the Southern league has ad-
vanced in class and young blood has
taken the place of the "old heads"
