WILL BE SPRING TRAINING.

The announcement from the maio. league ball clubs that hereafter thcrl will be no southern training trips in the spring. does not bring any sad- ness to Hot Springs. where usually at least two major league teams train during the month of March.
 For while the teams may not brlnl their players south in team units. stn 1t vili Do necessary for many Of the players to have aering preparation and they will come as individuals.
 Old Cy Nodne, the veteran twlrlor remained in big league base hall for many years. and attributed his aontiR. ued good form to iae fact that he spent not few weeks, out few months. in Hot Springs every year II mattered not what team he miah be engaged with. he was always here about the holiday sea son and put himself Into the best of condition py early spring
 Many of tAe other old veterans Of the game followed the example, and they found that az an investment. spend ing the spring season in Hot Springs paid Hbaral dividends
 Ii the teams GO not come south as units, the players will be left Co their own choosing. That means that vii two good hasa eall diamonds at their disposal with tho hot water bath. fhe mountain paths for early work. and other opportunities for fittine tAemselyes. the really ambitious play CTS will flock 10 Hot Springs in n, early training season. and when they report 10 their teams they Will be fin fine fettie.

SURPRISE OF SURPRISES.

About the time that the country was gromed politically to hear somet hing deIinite and positive in erect that Secretary AcAdoo was to be candi- date for the next democratic nomina ton for presidency. comes the mex plainable announcement that he has quit the cabinet position and rail road assignment, and is going into pri- vate life.
 The reason assigned for the resigna- ton is a logical one. 1t has long been fact that men of ordinary means could not afford positions in the cab inet. The cabinet salary might meet the requirements of simple life. out there are many demands made upon the men who fill. such places, and the demands must be met.
 In choosing a successor to Mr. Mo Adoo the president has another job on his hands and incidentally there arises another argument in the public mind sustaining the apparently unau- imous opinion that the president is needed at home in these uncertain times.
 If Mir. NcAdo is really going into private lie to remain who Is it that is being groomed for the place now held by Mr Wilson? Certainly pol itics had not been adloruned to the extent that there Is lack Of shaping the destiny of tomorrow in the in- cidents of today
