YANKEES LOSE OUT
ON TRAINING CAMP
Accept Mineral Wells Terms,
but Texas Town Takes in
Cincinnati Reds.
ny WILLIAM II. HANNA.


Tho Yankees won't train at Mineral
Wells, Tex, next spring. They thought
they were going to. but the Cincinnati
Reds got in ahead of them. 1t was
this way. The business office of the
Yankees negotiated with the Chamber
of Commerce of Mineral Wells. and It
was the understanding in the Yankee
office that the offer made by the Min
eral Wells people would be held open
until a decision had been made by the
Yanks
With that in mind the Yankee club
through Col. Huston, wired to the Texas
town on Monday that the latter's terms
We're accepted. Much to the surprise of
the New York club, however a telegram
was received yesterday expressing re-
gret, but saying that arrangements had
been closed with the Cincinnati club
whereby the Reds would train at Min
eral Wells. The Yankees, therefore,
will have to look further for their
training place. and the residents of
Mineral Wells will have the pleasure
OF seeing such stars as Eddie Roush,
Heinie Groh and Ivy Wingo, instead
of such stars as Babe Ruth, Waite Hoyt
and Carl Mays.
Mineral Wells is near Fort Worth
and was used by the White Sox for
several years. Wherever the Yanks
train--and they won't be sure the next
time until the papers are signed. sealed
and delivered-they will play series
with the st. Louis Cardinals. That
much has been tacitly agreed on The
series will be three or five games and
won't interfere with trip north with
the Brooklyn Dodgers If the borough
rivals team up again, as they are ex-
pected to do.
The White Sox will train in Sequin
Tex next spring. Sequin, Tex, is near
San Antonio. Tex. So near that only a
small part of Tex. will separate them
from the Giants. A joint tour north
OF the Giants and White Sox, winding
up with Sunday game at the Polo
Grounds, is a strong probability.
Another muscle bruise at Yale! Take

The Princeton Tigers. more than any
! other eleven, had the doubtful pleasure
this fall OF seeing field goals sail over
the crossbar. The pleasure was doubt
full because the sailing was directed by
the other team. King of the Navy
kicked two against Nassau's luckless
gladiators, Romney Of Chicago kicked
| one, Owen of Harvard one and AIdrich
OF Yale two. Six in one season are
a painful sufficiency.
