Ray Fisher OF the Yankees has spent
his entire major league career with the
New York Americans, but only the fact
that he enlisted in the army last winter
kept him on the New York clubs reserve
list. Fisher was included in the original
deal in which the Yankees sent bunch
OF players to the st. Louis Browns for
Derrell Pratt.
Ray however. checSmated Higgins
by going into tho army, and Higgins
was obliged to give up the promising
young pitcher, Shocker. Fisher is the
veteran of the Yankees in time spent in
New York. as he has been with the
Yankees continuously since 1909, when
he first was employed by George Stall
ings However, even Fisher will change
his uniform next spring, as only yester-
day he was released to the Cincinnati
club.
The Giants as they will line up for
next season include batch of men
who have played on nearly every team
on the major league compa ss-Kauff on
the Yankees Zimmerman on the Cubs
Anderson on the Red SoX, Barnes on
the Braves, Steele on the Pirates, Nc
Carly on the Robins, Benton on the
Reds, Chase on the White SoX and Per-
rift on the Cardinals.
There are two veteran stars on the
Giants who are strictly McGraw prod
ucts-Art Fletcher and George Burns.
Neither OF these able athletes wore any
big league livery but that OF the Ma
tional Fxh 'bition Company, which is the
corporation that hands checks to play
ers who happen to be on the Giants.

2 CLUBS TRAIN AT HOME
Philadelphia Americans and
st. Louis Nationals Decide
on Innovation.

In another week all the sixteen big
league clubs will be down to their train
ing grind, sweating in n blistering sun
to get In shape for the first major
league campaign after the war. which
many persons close to the pulse Of the
sporting public predict will bring about
wonderful revival in baseball.
With the world war over and real
peace dawning baseball seems TO be COM
ing back to its own. The teams will
leave for Dixieland a month later this
year. than usual In fact the Giant
youngsters have been in Marlin as early
as February IS: this year the entire
club does not buckle down to work at
Gainesville until March 30.
For the first time In many years two
clubs will train at home, the Philadel-
phia Americans and the st. Louis Ma
uonals. Considering the beautiful
spring weather we now are having the
decision of these clubs to train at home
does not look as foolhardy as when they
first announced their intentions. Back
in 1919 the St Louis Cardinals started
to train at home, but they reported in
early March, and n series of snowstorms
soon drove Roger Bresnahan, then man
ager of the Cardinals. into Mississippi
searching for new camp for his outfit.
OF the fourteen clubs which have not
yet reached this conclusion but four will
return to the scenes Of their 1913 train
ing period. The two Chicago teams re-
visit last years camps and the same ia

combinations. Every other club will try

CALLAHAN INTO FOLD
Jack Gives Former Dodger
Chance in Big ShoW.

Leo Callahan. former Dniger ard
Newark player. is about to get another
chance TO make good in the big show"
He has been signed by Jack Coombs for
the Phillies. Leos contract came as
the result of a tip handed Coombs by
Larry Sutton, Newark's famous baseball
scout 1t was Larry who furnished Leo
with an opportunity to make good with
the Brooklyns in 1915. but Callahan had
poor advice and refused to sign n con-
tract. Now Larry has been the agent
for giving the popular young outtielder
another chance up there"
When Dave Driscoll was figuring on
putting through a deal with Howard f.
Mcconnell for the purchase of the Bears
be had an eye on Callahan. Leo was a
free agent and Dave figured that Newark
fans would like to see him III the out
field again,
Larry Sutton already had written a
letter TO Coombs, tipping Off Jack that
Leo looked pretty good. When he heard
that Driscoll was angling for Callahan
he added a postscript to his letter 10
Coombs, and it would seem that the vet
eran twirler, who has undertaken the
Job of handling the Phillies, was i'm
pressed. for he lost no time in closing
with Leo.
Callahan is about &c years old. He
got his first league chance with the Jer-
sey City club, but did not perform with
the Shelters, being turned over to the

Does the fan ever consider that on
only rare occasions the big stars of the
game spend their careers in one town?
The star you rave about to-day may be-
long to the other fellow tomorrow, while
the player you boot and Jeer for crab
bling on an opposing team you may take
to your heart year later because you
say you admire his aggressiveness and
like the way he fights for his rights.
The difference is that in the meantime he
was traded to your home town team.
Nothing better illustrates this than the
cases of Roger Bresnahan and Frank
Chance. During the red hot season of
1908. the year of the Merkle play and
the famous playoff game, no teams ever
were as far apart as the Giants and
Cubs. Chance came here as baseball
enemy, and frequently his every move
ment was Missed. Bresnahan, on the
other hand. was one of the fire eaters on
the Giants. and was detested In Chicago
as much as he was admired in New York.
Yet five years after the great play
off game Chance came to New York as
manager Of the Yankees and all was for
given him. New York said 1t always
had admired him. anyway, knew he was
a born leader, great fellow, &c, and
all they asked of him was to fight
for New York as hard as he once fought
against the town.

Swinging.

watched a number of little tots
happily swinging in old fashioned
rope swing, suspended from the limb
of tall tree, the other day, and see
ing what pleasure the sport afforded
them, could not but recall how this
usEd to be one of the chief delights
of childhood and the child who was
so fortunate as to have at her home
one of these garden swings was in
deed popular.
A few years ago whenever a picnic
was to be staged an expedition was
made to the grove a few days ahead
of the time scheduled for the outing
to see to it that the grove afforded
accommodations for several big
swings which must needs be hung or
the picnic would be no picnic at all
On the day of the picnic wild dash
would be made for these swings and
they were seldom left idle. These
swings were suspended from tall trees
and the limbs were tested thoroughly
to avoid accidents. They were dan
gerous, too. Think of swinging hun
dreds of feet into the air with moth
ing between you and terra firma ex-
ceptng rope and a board and these
suspended from supposed to be-"
safe limb OF tree. What IL the knot
would slip, or the limb of the tree
would snap, or some other unlocked
for accident would occur? There could
have been no hope of landing safely
on mother earth. But, oh, the deli
cious feeling you experienced as you
swung far out into the breezes, the
care free, delirious Joy Of being up
and above the earth and frollicking
with the breeze. imagine the SEN
sation must be something akin to that
which would be experienced in going
up In an aeroplane, though perhaps
not so celebrating.
