Club owners and managers have
found 1t more profitable in dollars
and in anatomical results to Join
forces while in the south and travel
in pairs during the latter half OF the
training trip, instead Of playing a
lone hand in the effort to make the
annual tuning up season pay for at
least part of lis cost.
There will be more !nterleague
games played by major league teams
this spring than ever before. II all
the plans announced are consum,
mated. Not all of them will be paired
off for practically the entire trip,
like the Giants and White Sox. as
that plan has not provet workable
for all the sixteen teams, but there is
hardly n club in either league which
has not booked at least q few games
with one or more teams from the
rival major which are conditioning in
the same aecton OF the south.

games the players obtained little

the change of scenery and the avoid,

Many leading managers are of the
opinion that ball players cannot work
themselves into good form IN the
spring except in contests that bring
out actual, sharp competition. There
is none of that In games with class
c or d league teams. no matter II the
scores are close, and some managers
have advocated playing n minimum
of games with minor league teams,
devoting most of the spring trip to

By hooking up on the spring trips
with major league teams from the OPP

as the home athletes stood small

they we're fighting for n pennant or
for a first division berth, but there
is n lot more pep in n combat, even
with nothing at stake, between two

Some of the benefits to the players

The evolution of the major league spring training trip fur
nishes as interesting a study as its oscillation from one section
of the south to another. Ten years ago the vernal jaunt in
search of warm weather and physical condition was a solo
affair for the majority of the teams. Now it has become a
