YANKS TO TRAIN AT MACON
New York Club Will Go to Georgia
Camp Which Has Turned Out
Many Champ Mines.
WEATHER IS THE BEST EVER

Unable to secure accommodations in
Florida, the Yanks have decided to train
next spring at Macon. Ca, whence 80
many worlds champion teams have
started their conqrering careers that a
loser is not permitted to play a return
engagement.
Famous nv Training Center.
1t was at Macon that the Athletics pre-
pared for two of their most successful
seasons; at Macon that George Stallings
whipped the Braves into shape for the
1914 campaign; at Macon that Stallings
trained the Yankees of 1910. the only
Yankee outfit since the Griffith regime.
which had even an outside chance to win
an American league pennsnt
Stallngs Is passing UP Macon next
spring in favor of Miami. but only be-
cause the Boston club has been offered
such financial inducements to train in
Florida. He still considers Maron the
most desirable spring rendezvous in tho
country. not only because of the rare sa-
lubriousness Of its weather during the
conditioning period. but because of its
splendid strategic position.
A club training at Macon next spring
will be too far removed from the Florida
tiles to indulge in any interleague series
against the Dodgers the Cubs. the Phil
lies or the Braves, but in every other re-
spect viii be far more advantageously
situated than IL 1t were in almost any
other city in the southeast.
Atlanta, for instance. with its Southern
league club, is only two hours away;
Columbus, Ga. and Athens. where the
University of Georgia develops very
fair ball team each year, are equally
easy Of access. And when 1t comes time
to break camp there is choice OF two
fine routes back to the north.
Probable Path Outlined.
One would lead through the same terri
tory covered by the Yanks last spring;
the other through Southern league coun-
try, which the Yanks have not tapped in
years. Following the Latter trail. the
Yanks would play at Atlanta, Birfuing-
ham, Chattanooga and Knoxville before
striking over to Richmond and Baltimore,
to say nothing Of number OF smaller
towns which see major league clubs so
seldom that they probably would richly
reward any stray visitor. There is rea-
son to believe that this is the path the
club will take.
Major league managers never have
spoken save in praise OF Macon's weather,
but heretofore the town has not been
popular one in base ball circles because
OF a depressing lack of good hotels. With
in the last year. however. a modern hos
telry, twelve stories high. with Turkish
baths and steam rooms and all that sort
of thing, has been erected, and there the
Yanks will be quartered during the month
they probably will spend in Macon.

Steve never batted an eye. He glanced
