spring finds them performing before
the home folk, But this plan has its
drawbacks.
First of all, the first impression Of a
baseball fan Is usually a lasting impress
sion. When he goes out to the ball
yard and sees a team getting ready,
when he sees old tlmers with their
joints creaking and with the whole team
looking poorly, he forms an opinion
that the team will be a bloomer and
goes back, with that in his craw, ready
TO knock and hammer at the first
provocation.
|, But if the team trains away from
home, the fans win only get to see
them two or three days before the sea-
son opens, when they will be in fine
shape, with the club rounded into the
the elusive ribbon, Then the fans see
them at their best instead of their
worst, which is in evidence at the be-
ginning Of the training season, 1t APP
pears from here that the plan to train
In Dawson Springs Is the best and
, wisest move that the local club off

Dawson has an ideal climate and will

The local club will probably pull out
OF Memphis about March 10, and re-

training camp, then return to Memphis
two or three days before the season
opens. and then go to Little Rock to
open the season. IT is taken for granted

MANUsH TO III

Baseball still holds its lure for the
player, There is the case, for instance,
of Frank Manush, who threw the
game flat on its back for three years,
but who returns in 1920.
Frank will handle a club in the South
Atlantic next season, n has started
coralling material for the spring trials.
1t doesn't seem SO long ago that
Frank came in from the Sally circuit
and announced his retirement. I'm
through" he said. I've been in the
game a good while and have had
enough. The worries of a manager
have relieved me of great chunks of
hair and have turned gray the remain
ing strands. When l pulled out | swore
l would never don another uniform.
Just say for me that this is final"
But something seems to have gone
wrong. The attraction of civilian life
must have been too poor and the bonds
toe light. At any rate Frank intends
to return to the old life with the first
twitter Of the birds.
Manush Is an old Southern Lacquer of
much prominence n popularity. HIS
greatest fame was established in New
Orleans and Atlanta, where he was
quite a star. Later he went to CleVe-
land and made good in the Major pack,
Frank broke in about the same time
that Iris Speaker was starting in Bos-
ton and never forgets one startling
catch the Texan made at his expense,
1t happened that Frank stepped into
a fast ball and delivered a long drive
seven kilometers into centerfield,
Speaker was off like a flash and
with a miraculous stab pulled down
the drive with one hand. Manush had
just rounded second when the catch
was made.
As the ex-Southern leaguers passed
on the field Manush looked at Speaker
with a snarl and growled: Say, why
didn't you let that one go? Give a guy
a chance-Tm just breaking in"
80 am l." said Speaker.

DON'T BELIEVE

There are indications that Babe Ruth
is not serious when he puts a valuation

more home runs than any other bats

Ruth is a big vain boy who likes the
public's adulation and, 1t is said, he IS
agitating for a salary Of $4,000 a yeah
just to keep his records fresh in the
minds of the people. This is the view
taken by Harry Frazee, at any rate
