PRE-
CANES START
Big League Teams Clash in
South Today-Series
Games

NEW YORK, Mar. 14:-Affording
followers of the national pastime
their first real opportunity to gauge
the relative merits of this years PEN
nant contenders. major league clubs
are scheduled today to begin a series
CT inter-league and intra-league ex-
hibition contests in the south.
Two National League rivals, st.
Louis and Philadelphia, r slated to
play at Leesburg, Fla, in the only
game on today's calendar.
Exactly n hundred games have
been scheduled among big league
outfits for the month remaining be-
fore they will begin to arrive north
for the seasons opening, and it is
likely that others will be booked as
opportunity arises. This number, a
score or more in excess of the 1922
total, is close to a record for pre-
season games.
Intra-league games are an innova-
ton on this years schedule. 1t has
been customary, with but few excep-
lions in past years, to schedule inter-
league contests only during the pre-
season campaign, but the 1928 fist
INCLUDES sever games between Ma
tionaI League rivals. The St. Louis
Cardinals and Boston Braves are
booked for a three-game series.
With the exception of the st. Louis
Americans and the Chicago Nation
ais, all of the major league clubs wilt
be seen in action against each other
below the Mason and Dixon line.
The Browns will oppose only minor
league teams before arriving back In
ST. Louis to play the Cardinals just
before the opening of the season,
while the Cubs, doing their training
at Catalina Island, off the California
coast, will have no opportunity to
mix with National Or American
League rivals.
The champion New York clubs
both have scheduled extended barn
corning trips as preliminaries to
Sneir attempts each to capture three
remnants in succession. The Giants
and White Sox will train in the vi
entity of each other in Texas, and
then travel north together for a
series of nineteen games in Texas,
H1tsaissippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and
virginia, winding up with two games
at the Polo Groun S on April ii and
Is. The only break in this series will
occur when the Giants play the
Memphis, Tenn, club on April Z and
8.
The Yankees are slated for sixteen
games with their traditional pre-
season rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers,
beginning at New Orleans March 81
and going north through Louisiana,
Mississippi, Texas. Oklahoma and
Missouri, concluding with three
eames at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn.
