ALABAMA RIVALS
 TRANSFERRING FIELD FOR TEAMS

MONTGOMERY. Ala, April 1.--Is Aiabama's s climate more suitable for spring baseball training than Florida or Texas?
 That is the question that has been asked since several big league base ball aggregations this year broke the time honored precedent and chose Alabama as their training quarters.
 While an average of one or two teams have formally trained in the state preyiC usly, this year they came in numbers stronger than ever be- fore. The Philadelphia Americans, the St. Louis Browns, the Milwaukee Brewers, the Rochester Information als, along with Alabama's two clubs, the Mobile Bears and the Brming- ham Barons.
 According to Manager Connie Mack, the Philadelphians are better pleased with Montgomery than any training camp he has found in many years. In fact, the "A's' are so well same training field again for 1924
 Mack says: "Even if the climate is net hardly so good as that of Flor ida, it is all we could wish for, and the ideal training field more than makes up for any other deficiency You have the best athletic field in the south here in Montgomery
 Other managers are said to be quite as well pleased. Rochester is said to- be delighted. with Selma. while Milwaukee and Troy are said to have been getting along very friendly.
 From appearances in the box scores. critics say, that Mobile has furnished St. Lo uis with all the eX- citement they could have wished for in the preseason games. having well held their own with the big toppers.
