A Red Cross worker explained that

Hunter WORKS from a small launch

In addition to the Government

the 1920 training camp in this Florida

more so, for they found conditions
ideal. The blizzard that swept prac-

that the heroes didn't appreciate the

the modern ball player likes to hike
direct from his home to the training
ground. 1t SO happens that the vast
majority of the worlds champions
live where it was more convenient
for them to go straight to Mama

Just to show how times change and
how the personnel of ball clubs is al

OF the Reds Travelled rather northward
than southwark to reach the training
field. The majority OF the team that
year were southern players, fellows
who lived so far south that they went
north and northwest to the Louisiana
camp. The soft, pleasing, R"-less
| dialect of the South was the general
measure OF expressive speech, and any
fellow who sang Marching through
Georgia" stood in danger OF losing
his life summarily.
Now, the majority of the Reds come
from nothern and eastern points to
Miami. Even those who played in the
South last seazon are northerners.
Rapp played in Texas, Weyer in vir.

northern birds. Curious how they
