 Champions To San Antonio
 Connie Mack will take his worlds champion Athletics to San Antonio. T axas; Jimmy Callahan will Moses" White Sox 10 COrsicana, Texas: Harry WolvertOn will lead his New York Yankees to Atlanta, Ga, Clarke Grif- fifth will convene his Washington sen, ators at Charlottesville, Va, and Mug gsy McGraw will once more put the Giants through tEeir paces at Marlin. TeVs. The Boston Americans of Jake Stahl are the only ones who do not know where they are to go.
 The systems of training that will be in vogue at the baseball camps this spring offer a larger variety than ey- CT before, and there will be many other things tO interest the fans in the early workouts In some cases the work will consist largely of gener- al lll-round exercises to timber up the muscles of the men; in other eases practically all the time will be deyot- ed to actual playing.
