A Tariff-Ruined Industry
BY Andrew Wilkinson in the New York sun.

months campaign and produced 1907,

Stanton central sugar factory was
actually in the parish Of Orleans
and the nearest TO the city limits OF
any large central sugar factory in the
state. 1t was actually in the city's
suburbs, and its tributary cane fields
almost bordered the populous streets
1t has just demonstrated Il manufac-
turing capacity OF over ten million
pounds Of sugar in season.
This complete sugar factory, costing
several hundred thousand dollars, was
erected near the end Of the last cen

the cane crops Of five formerly indie
pendent sugar plantations. For a

What do you think would happen in
these days to major league pitcher
who, after three seasons in fast COM

was no different than that which is
applied to at least a dozen other bush
leaguers. 1t was up to Cobb to prove
himself.
In 1905 Cobb worked in Al games.
His fielding was atrOcious He had
come billed as slugger. yet in $50
trips to the plate in that season he hit
safely only sc times. His average was
.240.
What do you think would happen in
this age II a youngster hit for only
.240 in his first year as a major and
fielded in a way that made it seem as
though lie were burlesquing2
But Cobb fingered. Hughie Jennings
gave a lot Of attention to him. And do
you know why? Simply because Hughie
Jennings roster wasn't loaded down
with lot of high priced minor league
talent in those days He had to pick
his team from small assortment-and
therefore he could choose more DELHI
erately and accurately. He had a chance
to study Cobb and Cobb's possibilities
Collins Started Slowly.
Eddie Collins hit for only .273 in
1908 when he joined the Athletics in
1908, and he didn't seem to be able
to play either short or third. But Con-
ME kept him, simply because Comics
roster wasn't overloaded, thus giving
him time to study each man thoroughly
Jake Daubert, probably the greatest
first baseman in the game today, got
a chance with the Cleveland club some
years ago. There were many rockies
on the roster then and Lajoie, who was
managing the outfit, didn't have time
to watch them. Daubert rounded out
slowly-too slowly for Lajoie. So Jake
went back to the bushes, although he
then was as great a player as he
DOW is.
Iris Speaker hit only .220 for the Red
Sox in 1908, his first year in the majors.
Would any major league club today
keep a .220 rookie" outfielder2 But
the Red SOx decided to keep Tris-and

EW YORK, March Way down
N south they are busy sorting the
wheat from the chaff. Every
one of the Is clubs in the two major
leagues has more or less Of a young
army engaged in tossing and batting
basebails around-for a double pur-
pOse-to find out who can toss and
bat the best and to get all in shape to
TOSS and bat to the very zenith of their
ability
At first thought, It would seem to
make very little difference just where
the batting and tossing is done a
man who can toss or bat a baseball in
Georgia should be able to toss and bat
Just as well in Texas II he can't, what
chance has he to make good in a league
where he is called upon to toss and
bat in six or eight different states?
Therefore, why worry about where
your ball club trains That is, if you
are fortunate enough t6 have a BAH
club.
Training Camp Factors.
It does make quite a difference,
though. Any old stager viii tell you
that selecting a suitable site for a
spring training camp is gradually be-
coming more or less Of an exact
science. There are number of def
mite things to be considered. What

modations? What is offered as an ex-
ira incentive in the line of gymnasium
facilities for bad days, mineral baths,
etc? How centrally located is the place
to points where other teams train, so
that practice games may be arranged
conveniently? One Of the minor mat
tiers, but one which quite obviously
must cut some figure, is how favorable
are the financial arrangements that
can be made for use of a certain plant
After debating in their several minds
all these and many ether problems for
more than a few years. the big leaguers
are still pretty far away from reach
ing anything that even distantly ap-
pruaches a unanimous opinion. Let
those who doubt this statement gaze
at the list of 1916 spring training camps
presented herewith;
National League.
Philadelphia Phillies, Southern Pines,
North Carolina.
Boston Braves, Miami, Florida
Brooklyn Dodgers, Daytona, Florida.
Chicago Cubs, Tampa, Florida.
Pittsburg Pirates, Hot Springs, Ar
St Louis Cardinals, san Antonio,

Washington Senators, Charlottes-

New York Yankees, Macon. Georgia.
St Louis Browns Palestine, Texas.
Cleveland Indians, New Orleans,
Louisiana.

Florida.
Thus the question seems a fairly
open one, with the argument slightly
in favor of Florida and Texas. The
latter has a bare edge on Florida, for
five of the 16 teams are in the Lone
Star state. whereas Florida has four.
