Four Clubs viii T.
Play Series in
South NextYear

Jacksonville, Fla, March 2s.-It is
almost an assured fact that Cincin-
natl, Washington, New York ana
Brooklyn clubs will meet in a four
club series next spring.
This statement Is made because
the Cincinnati Baseball Club last
purchased the baseball
at Miami. where the Reds
held their drills during the past
three weeks.
The playing field will cost $4,000.
The Cincinnati club to pay $4,000
and the real estate dealers the bal
ance. At the end OF five years, IL
the Red owners do not want the
grounds, the city has guaranteed to
take II off their hands at $4,000,
so that the club will make $25,O00
over their investment and have the
grounds and>use for that length of
time. This will enable the visiting
clubs to go there and make big
money.
AS the Washington club will more
than likely accept the proposition
Yankees at Palm Beach, II will leave
only Brooklyn to decide whether
they will remain at Jacksonville or
go to Ormande. where a good offer
has been made them to train next
season.
With these same clubs all in the
same territory. they could begin
playing their games about March IS,
thus saving lot OF extra money on
the cost of the training trip.

New Orleans, March 20
When a New Yorker shimmies
with the frost and scoops a
handful of snow out of his,
money pocket he has a sneaking
notion that March Is one month
the world could do without. In
the North March waltzes in like
a lion and steps out like a.lamb.
Down in the gulf she pops in like
lion hash and waddles out like
lamb stew. New Orleans is
four-sheeted among the prov
CRIBS and wise cracks as the
town that care forgot.
Anyhow a game was
played and the Giants beat the
Red Sox.
We'll. the rainmaker did
not overlook it any. She's been
drizzlfng for two days now, and
the ball field looks like a good
place to sink another German
fleet. The town that care for
got! Sounds half way too pretty.
The old town has one good sys-
tenn. Anybody who gets rolled
for his bankroH. pulls out of an
-absinthe souse busted or sheds
his velvet on the ponies doesn't
have to carry the banner in
New Orleans. All he has to do
is to paddle up to the Mayors
diggins and they'll stake him to
carfare back to his old home
nest. You can return the darb
when you get back home in a
position to sew another button
on your bankroll. Sweet stuff!
Rain made 1t look as IL
the Giants would have to con-
suit the mayor. The loose
weather stymied a crowd OF
10000 people who were an
Xious to lamp a world series
in the spring. They were satis-
fed with rain checks, figuring
they could cash 'em next day.
When she kept right on rain
ing up to next noon Eddie
Brannick started chasing up the
mayors phone number in the
telephone atlas. Fortunately
for both Brannick and the
hdyof II IiBhScucu up cuou6h
to permit a game.
With old-time local OPP
tion weather. the two. games
in New Orleans would have
dragged out a combined at
tendance of $4,000. Cleveland
trains here and attracted about
1000 a game.
But interest In the Red
Sox and Giants series Is burn
ing up the South. The Dallas
game was record for training
trips. While we're on the sub
1ect We might buzz that the !
Cleveland bunch looks like the
cakes this season. They are
being ballyhooed to win the

This year Griff has a young gent
named Stan Harris keystoning like
a regular keystoner, and early re-
turns indicate he will carry the bag

thought of in those parts.
James Leo O'Neill, a prominent
citizen of Minooka. Pa, or some-l
thing like that, has been assigned
to the station in the short field ana
Griff is elated over the showing u
the youngster. James Leo startled
the natives in Shreveport. La. for
two years and threatens TO do the
same when he gets started in big
time. His arm was not very good
at the start, but it is rounding into
shape, and the chances are he will
be the regular shortstop. He is
the youngest brother of Steve
O'Neill. the Cleveland catcher.
Eddie Foster was traded to Bos-
ton in the deal which brought
Bobby Roth here, so a new sacker
had to be developed. Frank Ellerbe,
the kid from Binghamton, who
broke in last fall, has been playing
the corner, but Joe Leonard, the
veteran utility in1elder, probably
will be in the regular lineup. Ell
lerbe, however. looks like a pretty
good player, and may surprise the
wise blokes. He is a fairly good
hitter, and it will be remembered
he drove in four runs in each game
of a double-header against st. Louis
last September. unloading the sacks
in one of these combats with a
timely triple.

efficiency have finished four weeks
of hard work down here among the
palm trees and grapefruit and re-
port themselves in the pink of con-
dition for the approaching free-for-

When the ball club takes the

will be slightly different from that
of last year. Bobby Roth, that
hard-hitting. base-stealing, ground
covering oUtfielder who has seen
service with the White Sox. Cleve-

be in right field, and the infield will
