TO PUT LIMIT
ON TRAINING
Both Leagues May Adopt
Rule Barring Trip South
Of Carolinas.

New York, Dec. 1s.-AH of the
sixteen major league clubs will
probably curtail their training trips
next spring. and those which do not
trSn at home will be limited to
trips no further South than the
Carolinas. This is the proposition
which 1T. is expected will be adopt-
ed When the two major leagues
hold their joint session here on
January Is.
This policy is simply one of the
many which will be adopted next
season for economy A major league
official said during the recent base
bah meetings that pot one major
league club showed profit on it's
books at the end of last season. In
fact, many of them lost so much
money that training trips to South
ern States in the spring would be
out of the auestionA The high rail-
road mileage and Pullman fares Is
the principle reason that the trips
to the States in the extreme South
have been abandoned. s-
Many baseball officials believe
that it would be unfair to the weak
er clubs which are compelled to
stay in the North because of lack
of funds IL the more prosperous
clubs were to go to Southern climes
a month before the season opens and
come back in midseason form. 1t Is
only fair to all teams that the
spring training should be as uni
form as possible.
While there may be protests from
=.
training trips, II is believed that
| for the good of the game all the
| teams will follow the same training
tactics. The Chicago Cubs have
been planning to go to California
J again, but Manager President Mitch
| ell said during the recent meeting
here that the trip was not by any
| means a certainty.
on account of the high price OF
transportation the Giants, generally
conceded to be one of the most pros
porous clubs in the game. have de
cided to give up the trip to Marlir
| Springs. Texas. Manager McGraw
/ has been considering a trip to one
Of the resorts in Florida, but as the
| players are not expected to be called
until April it is believed that II
will be too warm in Florida fol
hard training. The Yankees also
have been planning to pass uI
Macon. Ga, this season and try 9
