Spring Training Is Important To Teams
Ideal Camps for Big LeagueTs

bring the Giants back from Texas
through the middle west, where the
spring weather is always uncertain,
and with the chances in favor of dan
playing of games. The Giants man
ager keeps his players in the warm
climate as long as possible, and then,
when coming north. takes the trip up
the east coast way or whereabouts,
where the weather is more settled than
around the lake regions and Mississip-
pi and Ohio river valleys.
And that, too, notwithstanding the
Giants on one long to be rememb cred
home trip brought back over $4,000
above all expenses by making jour
ney through the danger zone. But that
was before the fans of that part Of the
country had been satiated with the
sight Of famous big league cracks, as
they have been since.
In the selection of training grounds,
good water and healthful location
are the chief consideration. In certain
parts OF the south there are malaria
belts that want to be lodged like an
epidemic disease. These are to be
easily found out. Places where the
weather reports record a consistently
settled climate should be sought for
and certain local cOnveniences in the
shape Of bathing facilities. such as are
afforded at Marlin, Tex, and Hot
Springs, Ark.
There are many towns in the Lone
Star state that have medicinal hot
waters other than Marlin, that can be
easily secured. 1t is only matter of
search. and any club can secure just
as convenient grounds and appurte-
nances as has manager McGraw.
The Giants experience last spring
should afford a lesson to every man
ager in the country It was by reason
of the Giants superior condition to all
Of their rivals that they were enabled
to get their big lead by the 4th of July
and it was by getting that jump that
pulled them out winners and gave them
the opportunity of being conteu1ers for
