TRAVEL POSSIBLE
MINUS USE OF THE
TRAINS IN SEASON

NsW York. Jan. 29.-In the Yankees
Offices yesterday Harry Sparrow was
discovered in a careful study of a
guide book dealing with the various
arteries Of travel that spread weblike
Owe the eastern half of the country.
Now and then a smile would light up
the countenance of the Yanks' bus
ineis manager as if to say that an
ether, puzzle hadsbeen solved to satis-
faction.
What is it all about" Sparrow was
asked. Are you figuring out how
varius members Of the cast will get
from their home to the training camp
at Macon?"
NO. no." chirped the famous tenor.
II am just refreshing my memory on
the water-troliey-and-au route that
figured out in 1916 when rumors of a
railroad strike were so general. l dis
covered then, you know. that the YAM
KEGS could make all their visits in the
east and west even il the railroads
were tied up, and l got tip from a
railroad man this week that l should
take nothing for granted as far as the
Ul6 AV0uC ale SOuCCi lieu tuE
1918 season. So naturally l am figur-
ing how the boys will move around the
league"
As Sparrow figures it the Yankees
can move all around the league next
summer without the help of railroad
train. 1t might be said that they can
move right out of the league. which
they threatened to do a number OF
times last season. but Connie Mack
has the exit barred as far as 1918 is
concerned. No team can fall out OF
the league while the Mackmen are in
their present weakened state. But by
packing UP those old steel grips and
spending countless hours on the boats
electric cars or in automobiles the
major league clubs will be able to
fill out their schedules. even if rail.
road conditions should reach the point
where ball players could not be &C.

Money Deals Must 10.
1t is now proposed to prohibit an
deals in the future where large SUM
OF money figure and confine the mar.
ket to out-and-out trades. It ia re-.
ognized that the switching Of talent
fro none club to the other is nece..
sary for the life of the game. but A
the same time they have become aliys
to the need OF erasing the dollar sisns
from the deals. The public is getting
next. and public opinion is still re-
garded as factor in the game
There is a difference of opinion
among the owners as to how the re.
form should be instituted. Some arsus
that all cash deals, except in so far -
it concerns the minor leagues and
waivers, should be eliminated from
the sport. Others contend that II
money should still be factor rules
and regulations should be laid down
for the guidance of those who are
prone to wave the bank roll whenever
team gets behind in the race.
| 1t is suggested by the latter that Il
cash must figure in future deals the
players should be counted in, and that
a certain percentage should be sci
aside for their benefit. Twenty per
cent is considered fair figure for the
toilers of the diamond. To illustrate:
1t is believed that President WEIGH
man of the Cubs paid $4,000 for Alex.

plan the pitcher would get $4,000

a tough time we were in for, so all
we did was to grind our teeth and
put up with the worst that came along.

passed around that we were to go

see the different ways that those boys

critical moment is interesting. Yol
saw the old stagers just sitting around
and smoking, others drinking as much
rum as they could possibly get, try
ing to make themselves drunk, others
playing cards and consuming icigarets
by the dozens. while the new rein
forcements, or gleenhorns, were just
one bundle of nerves and asking all
sorts of questions. The officer in
charge then gave his order to pre-
pare and there you were with your
jaws set, hands gripping your rife
and every muscle of your body sprung
to high tension. Suddenly the artil.

New York. Jan. eff the present
epidemic of trades and cash deals con
tinues in the major leagues it will be
necessary to supply the baseball ian
with card index of the players when
the 1918 season opens. During no
similar period of time in the history
of the National and American leagues
has the number of player shifts
equalled those contaminated since the
close of last years pennant races. Not
only in the number of players ex-
changed but in the magnitude OF the
deals have new records been estab-
lished. Close to 40 players and more
than $4,000 in cash is the aggregate
| involved and if the magnates' state
ments are correct other similar trans
actions are still to be completed.
| In the American league four deals
| involving twenty players and
sums approaching close to the
100000 mark have been made to date
with an average of five players to
deal. National league clubs have fig
ured in an equal number of trades but
teh average number of players con-
cerned is notso high. Less cash, how
ever, was needed as so far as is known
three of the five were made without
the passing of either checks or cur
rency.
From a numerical standpoint the
deal between the New York and St.
Louis clubs of the American league
heads the list. Seven players are eX-
pected to change uniforms as result
of this transaction, in addition to a
sum of money, said to be about $15, 900,
paid to st. Louis by the New York
magnates. The Philadelphia Athletic
Boston Red Sox transfers come next
six players and about $4,000 being in
volved. This was Immediately fol-
lowed by the McInnis deal, which is
said to include the exchange of three
Boston players for the Athletic first
baveman. Should such be the case
the total would include ten men ir
all, record deal in modern baseball
annals.
In the National league the Brooklyn
Pittsburgh transfer is the biggest a.
the Pirates gave three Pittsburgh
players for two Superbas.

Dick Loadman for IS rounds TO de-
cision: then to Cleveland. where on
Feb. IL he boxes Jabez White for II
rounds, and then, on Feb. %, he boxes
Dutch Brandt before the CLEVELAND

George Whitfield.

Unless Fred Luderus promises to
improve at bat this seq son he may
find his first base job with the Phil
lies in the possession of George
Whitfield, the Phillies' able outfielder.
Pat Moran is seriously considering
the change, now that he has plenty
Of outfeld talent and can spare
George to hold down first. Whitted
has played first before in pinches and
shown himself well able to look after
the job. As first sacker he would
be one of the hardest hitting in the
game.
