when the teams go south for
spring training they have two OBJ

worth and the trying out OF the
recruits.
Since tho fans are familiar with
the veterans and their style OF play
not much space is given 10 their
work on the training trips The war
correspondents deal almost entirely
with the recruits.
Il Is IN the spring that the young
pitchers are referred 20 as second

outnelders are compared with
Speaker. Cobb and Rousch, that the
inhelders are likened unto Hornsby
or Collins. that the catchers are pro-

The major league recruits each
year are the cream OF the baseball
talent. The phenoms from every
section OF the country are gathered
for a tryout. Every now and then
some recruit makes good from the
very start. like Walter Johnson or
Frankie Frisch.
The careers OF such players al
ways stand out IN the eyes OF the
