ATEW YORK. May 4.-The un-
" fortunate predicament that
the Yankees and Phillies
find themselves in by their best
players being all shot to pieces,
mostly by reason of illness, has
brought up the vail that the spring
training INDUCED in SO extensively
by ali big league clubs is hardly
worth the candle
Doubtless much of the sickness
was caused by bad weather expe-
rienced in the South this spring,
but with proper care much Of the
illness could have been prevented.
The Giants arrived back in New

meningitis in Texas.
The system of training he fol-

training in the South than in the
North, nor as much, for that mat
ter. Texas weather this spring was
fully as bad as that experienced
elsewhere in the South
Some parts Of Arizona, l know
from experience, would be model
training places, but the expenses of
such a long trip would be enor-
nous, and with no financial returns
and no chance afforded to play OPP
posing clubs, and that is a neces-
sity.
If other managers would adopt
McGraw's plan of looking out so
