ny DAH
Miller Huggins. manager of the YAM
KEGS. arrived here yesterday from
Dover Hall, put his stamp OF approval
on the training trip schedule, and
rushed into conference with Col Jacob
Rupert and Ed Barrow. no doubt on
trades. Just what Is In the air could
not be learned, but Huggins Is expected
to shed bit OF light on the subject
of the confabulation this afternoon.
The training programme is the most
extensive and at the same time the
most pleasant which yet has been drawn
up for a Yankee OUTFIT. There win be
no exploring OF the wiids OF Georgia
and the Carolinas. and no testing of
the hard beds and meagre fare OF bush
league taverns. In all there are thirty
three games on the card. and of these
seventeen will be played with the
Brooklyn club. Nine contests-seven
for the first team and two for the Sec
onds--will be played with the Shreve-
port club Of the Texas League. No
fewer than seventeen exhibitions are
scheduled for the Shreveport ball park
While no definite starting date has
been set II Is expected that the Yankee
squad will be assembled at Shreveport
by March 5. Original plans called for
leaving New York on March 6. but 1t is
certain that the date will be moved
forward. Some of the players-Babe
Ruth. Waite Hoyt. Ping Bodie Bob
Shawkey. Harry Harper and a few
others---will go to either Hot Springs.
Ark, or French Lick, Ind. for pre-
llminary siege Of training.
First Game March IL.
There will be week OF throwing the
ball around at Shreveport and then the
Yankees will take the field against the
Shreveport club. That will be on March
~. There will be another game with
the Shreveport outfit on the 18th.
The Yankees first Sight OF big league
pitching on the opposition will come on
St Patrick's Day. when the ST. Louis
Nationals--Hornsby and all--will be
tackled at Lake Charles. La. the train
ing ground OF the Athletics. On the
following day the New Yorlss will open
their long series with Brooklyn. This
competition will be inaugurated at
Baton Rouge. the Louisiana capital, and
will be carried right into Ebbets Field.

road home, to Birmingham. Atlanta
Winston Salem. N. c.. Richmond. Balti-
more and Fiatbush.
Only Two Minors on Card.
The schedule is In striking contrast
TO that of other years, particularly those
in which the Yankees explored TIE wi DIS
OF the South with the Braves and lived
inysiee9.ng cars. Another feature OF the
Programme Is the fact that Shreveport
arid Baltimore are the only minor league
clubs which win be played. The Orioles
VIII be played on Friday. April 8. in the
second game of a double header. Brook
iyn will meet Baltimore in the first
contest
AS issued yesterday by Barrow. the
schedule has April open. 1t is not
known whether H'Gsins expressed a
disinclination 70 play anybody on All
Fools Day OF whether the ate is vet
70 be filled. The Giants programme
has rather appropriate entry for April
la game with the Athletics.
Bill KLEIN has been assigned by the
National League and George Moriarty
by the American League to umpire the
New York Brooklyn games. No doubt
they will work at ali of the Yankees
contests Klein was with the Giants
last spring. The Yankee dates follow:
