New-York tribune., 1922-10-21

The Yankee magnate, however, did
talk baseball with one quAint old South
srn fgure--none other than Alexander
Junius Heinemann, the curator OF the
Southern Leagues birdhouse, where the
New Orleans Pelicans are quartered. In
his own slow, drawing style Alexander
Junius tried to convince the New York
nagnats that the Yankees would do
well to train onco more on "the largest
playing field In the world" This state
ment must be true, as sign outside
the park carries the ohcial informa-
tion, With the signature Of Hefnemann
beneath it, and she owner Of the Peli-
cans is not the man to tell q lie ex-
cept with intent TO deceive.
As pointed out by the proprietor Of
Pelican Park, the Hugmen did very
we'll last spring in their training ses-
sion at New Orieans. The Yanks lost
only one day by rain in all their stay.
Not only that, but they departed from
the Crescent City with all their ex-
penses paid by the fans who visited
the local park to watch the American
League champions In their exhibition
games against the Pelicans, the Cardi-
mails and the Dodgers.
AN Alluring Proposition
IF you just want physical training"
urged the astute owner Of Pelican
Park, "go to New York gymnasium.
II you want sunshine, 60 to seme
blasted desert. II you want money, go
to bank. But If you want training,
sunshine and money sil combined you
can get it where you got it last spring,
right in my backyard. I'd like very
much to have Miller Huggins back here
again. He's one Of the very few fell
lows in baseball who Is smaller than /
am"
Cap Huston was very much impressed
by the arguments Of the Crescent City
magnate, especially the peroration, ii,
which Alexander Junius declared that
II the Yanks deserted him he would
take seven running broad jumps into
the nearby Mississippi River, Of which
he expected the first three jumps to be
the hardest. When Heinemann was
telling Colonel Huston about the money
the Yanks made last spring he forgot
20 mention the various sums he carted
off to the burying ground himself.
However, he is totally unprejudiced and
unbiased in the matter, fs indicated by
his final remark to the Yankee Colonel
Il don't care where you train as long
as you psy me rent, use my park and
board in New Orleans"
The outlook at present Ii that the
Hugn1en Will return to the Gulf city
trenches next spring. All the officials
OF the Yankee fami y we're we'll pleas
