Bile and the training camps 20 begin prep

as they mako the first getaway for Cali
fornia on February IS, tho rmainder of
the club waiting until about March 1.
Many Of the clubs will return TO the

sIOufeds to Havana.
The st, Louis Feds make the sea voy-
age this year, going to Havana, Cuba.
Whether Havana will be a good train
ing place Ia speculative. Fielder Jones de-
clares II VIII be ideal and Jones is a base
ball man who should know. Anyway he
will give his men a chance at the sea-
sickness and the yellow fever.
With the exception OF the White Sox,
none OF tho teams viii play many exhi-
bltlon games. The sox always play quite
a number on their way east. as It means
coin for ComislSey and gets the players
acclimated gradually.
Last year several OF the teams played
a number of exhibition games, leaving the
training camps rather early and con-
stantly encountering young bllzzards,
floods and the like on the route north, so
this year the magnates have wisely de-
cided TO remain in the balmy southland
as long as possible.
