Training Trips Disappointment.
The training trips this year nave
been huge diSappOintments Tor most OF
the managers and maEnates. The or
eanized major leaguers tried out more
than 100 youths that were gathered IN
from the bushes at the close OF the
1913 season. They gave them all
thorough rryout-that is as thorough
a tryoUt as can be given at training
camp. But not one pnenOm was IN
covered. Most of the bUshers were sent
back to their old stamping grounds or
shunted off to some other minor
league organization. A few Of the
many who went along on the trips,
hopeful, eager and confident, survived
the test. But none of these has shown
as a wonder They have been graded
as good ball pIayers-just good enough

And so they have been kept IN the
hope that a few months on the bench
