NORU[E TOBAR
TRAINING IN SOUTH
Griff Undecided About Doing
Spring Work Here-That
Yankee-Sox Deal.
By DENMAN THOMPSON.

According to Clark Griffith there is
no chance for the American League to
adopt rule doing away with south
ern training trips, and it is by no
means settled that the Nationals will
do their spring conditioning at home
in 1919.
1.-The policy Of the American League
always has been to permit each club
to do as it pleases in regard to pre-
pairing its players for the opening OF
the season." the Washington helms"
man said today, land there will be no
change in it. It is possible that If it
is decided to not start the season un-
til May / that the Washington club
will dispense with a trip south, but
this is by no means certain.
at is not merely a question OF
weather. If it were there would be no
reason. with a late start IN order. for
undertaking an extensive so5ourn
south, as the weather here is uniform
ly good in April. When we did our
conditioning at Charlottesville I al
ways had the boys back on the home
lot in that month. The crux of the
matter is that you don't get the same
results training at home.
Being located in the city where
friends are numerous, the boys have
social obligations which tend to de-
tract their attention from the work
at hand. At Augusta. for instance,
where I have them all under my wing,
conditions are different.
"If do decide to pass up the annual
hike south next year will try to ar
range for Saturday and Sunday exht-
billions with some of the National
League clubs, but none OF them VIII
do their training in washington. They
will condition elsewhere. After they
are ready we will be willing to book
engagements with them.
However, regardless of whether we
go south or not. the players will be
physically At when the gong rings.
Where you prepare is of little conse-
uuence. The main thing is to get the
BOYS in shape, and you can say for me
we'll be ready. even if we train in the
Klondike. O.
That Yanfee-sox Deal.
Time alone will tell whether the
Red Sox or Yankees got the better

But on the face Of it Foxy Frazee
appears to have Davidharumed Wee
Miller Higgins, especially in view
of that money consideration.
From the standpoint of the Red
sox. the acquisition Of Walters alone
justifies the deal. The world cham
pions are badly in need of capable
catcher to lift the burden from the

partner. Sam Agnew. and Walters has

Leonard, Shore, Lewis for
Caldwell, Love, Walters,
GiIhooIy in Deal.

NEW YORK, December 19.-Miller
Higgins, manager of the Yankees.
showed himself the real David Harum
of the age. when, in stupendous
base ball deal, he shared Outfielder
Duffy Lewis and Pitchers Dutch
Leonard and Ernie Shore from the
world champion Boston Red Sox. He
gave in return Catcher AL Walters,
Outfielder Frank GiIhooley and Pitch
ers Ray Caldwell and Slim Love and
cash considera ton, amount not
given out.
This deal, which had been hanging
fire for some time, which, indeed, was
first preached in a somewhat nebu-
lous state as early as the last worio
series, was contaminated after a
lengthy conference in the local Of
fees of the Boston Americans. Presl-
dent Harry H. Frazee and Manager
Ed Barrow represented the interests
of the world champions; President
Jacob Rupert and Manager Miller
Higgins negotiated on the part u
the New York Americans.
While AL Walters is undoubtedly
one of the most promising young
catchers to break into the game
since the advent of Ray Schalk. and
also one of the most popular OF all
the Yankee players, and. Whlle Gil,
hooly is a smart outfieider. 1ast ana
tricky on the paths, New York gets
two great pitchers and a real big
league outfielder and sWatter. Cald-
well has seen his best day: Love is
an erratic southpaW, who looks IKE

Duffy Lewis Star.
Around a veteran of Duffy's ability
and experience it should be easy for
Higgins to construct formidable
garden.
The acquisition of Leonard and Shore
guarantees to Higgins one of the most
formidable heaving corps in the game;
four veteran right-handers of tried ex-
perience (not to mention other prom
Using youngsters of two or three years
major schooling), and three south
paws of wonderful ability. The vet
eran righthanders will be Shaw. Bob
the portsiders. Leonard. George Mo-
gridge and Herb Thormahlen.
From Boston standpoint. the Red
Sox won the pennant and the worlds
championship without the services of
any of the three sold. Without them
Boston boasted an exceptionally strong
club which cannot fail to improve
through the addition of Caldwell, Wal
tiers, Gilhooley and Love.
To Boston the greatest asset of the
Gotham quartet is little AL Walters.
Boston had no catchers that could be-
gin to compare to him. One can i'm
agine how effective Barrows' great
hurting brigade will become with a
second Schalk to handle it. and Wal
tiers, if worked regularly. should prove
mighty close to second Schalk.

here several days, rejoining her
husband in New York. An address
praising the peace address of Presi-
dent Wilson was made by the Duke
! before the National Press Club
Thursday night.
Embassy and State Department
officials absolutely refused to COM
ment on the visit of the Governor
Z General here. The fact that he
came so soon after the address Of
President Wilson to Congress on
peace led many to believe he came
to present the views of the British
government on some of the points
outlined by the President.
= Another point discussed by him
with President Wilson at their
conference Wednesday was said to
be the railroad situation in Canada
and the United States. Thousands
of cars owned by Canadian railroads
are in the possession Of American
railroads, the Canadian roads claim,
and recently demand was made for
their return.
