The Yankee delegation of FIVE is TO-
be argumented early next week by the
veteran batterymen of the champion
Brooklyn Dodgers. AS has been the
custom during the last few years, the
Yankees and Dodgers will this spring
engage in joint tour. The two clubs
will travel home from the South to-
gether, and they will play q series of
games at Ebbets Field preliminary TO
the championships.

Louisiana have inadvertently double
crossed our Yankees The Yankee man
agement was given authority to select
not only its own~training camp, but
one for the Dodgers as we'll. Miller
huggins picked Shreveport for New
York and New Orleans for Brooklyn,

town himself, because Of the fact that
there was expected to be protracted
race meet A certain few individuals of
the Yankees are supposed to have an
avidity for the turf game not calculated
TO keep their minds on the main issue.
