ANNAPOLIS, March 31.-Rear
Admiral Louis M. Mutton, superin-

football game would be played at
Annapolis on October II, as pre-

The regiment of midshipmen
must be taken to New York for
the annual Arrny-Navy game, the
Admiral said, while the football
team will also travel to Ann Arbor,

"While approaching the fact that
more spectators could be accommo-

John McGraw, wizard chieftain

two innings to offset a paltry three

in the first and second. The Giants
added one more to their bullying

In the Giants biggest inning, the

By KIRK MILLER

FORT BENNING, Ca, March
S1.-Tumbling out Of their Pull
man berths at 5:55 o'clock this
morning, long before most Wash
ingtonians had turned over for
their beauty nap, the itinerant
world champions landed feet up
in Augusta, seven miles away, to
be escorted by q military band to
this splendid army post and haven
of hospitality, where the Griff-
men and Giants will today be
guests of the War Department.
The main excuse for the presence
Of two such distinguished ball teams
at this army base can be traced di-
rectly to only Color Sergeant Harry
GOwcy, formerly OF the 116th Ohio
national guard infantry, 42d Train
bowl division, catcher binary
and pIentipotentiary Of the National
League champions, who are now
leading the world champions in their
Southern series by four games TO

Gus by q run tally Of ID to 8.
Ever since the estimable Mr..
GOwdy contributed 50 gloriously 20
the defense of his country, he being
among the first, II not the very first,
major league baseball player to
throw away the catcher's Inask for
q gas mask, the forces within the
infantry arm of the service have
been racking their skulls to devise
- ~
to do him an honor that would be
significant, not only Of his record
az q soldier. but indicative also Of
his diamond achievements.
So here today, moro than six
years after the final echo Of the
last cannon has ceased to yibrate,
the United States infantry is
satisfying its yearning by naming
sitter and defeating its baseball
field to Hank GOwdy, the soldier
player.
And everyone of the present
generation, particularly people
around the seat Of the nations

can do things when it gets ready
to throw on dog. Unfurling or

WANTS SHORT
TRAINING
Higgins Would curtaiI Spring
Sessions by Mutual
Agreement
By FREDERICK G. LIEB.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 81.
The present system of training
ball clubs has grown out of all
proportions, in the opinion of Mil
Ter Higgins, mite manager of the
New York Yankees, whose collec-
ton of expensive baseball bric-a-
brac is now in the midst of a
two weeks transforming junket
back to New York.
Miller favors curtailment of
baseball training trips by mutual
agreement.
'It is my opinion that training
trips are entirely too long," said
| little Miller at the tanning bee.
1--WE have now been out five weeks,
and still have two more ahead of
US. If we keep on at this rate we
soon will be starting shortly after
the Christmas holidays.
You ask why we get out so
early. We've got to, because every
body else is doing it. Mack had
his ball club at Fort Myers before
we did. Washington had more ball
players at Hot Springs for Febru-
airy training than the Yankees or

81 know il doesn't take that
long to train q ball club, because
/ was q ball player myself. In
my early years as second base
man for the Cincinnati club we
used to have training trips Of
from three weeks to o month.
We never reported for training
before March Is.
And those old-time players al.
ways had more weight to take off
than the present-day players. For
one thing, the players of fifteen to
twenty years ago were bigger men,
They also used to drink lot of
beer during the off season, which
put weight on them. How those
old fellows used to work at a train
ing camp! Some Of them actually
suffered, but they would get down
to weight in three weeks. When ]
was on the Reds they gave us :wo
weeks and then made US take a
five-mile run. I was pust a little
chap with no excess weight, yet
they made me take those runs the
same as the big fellows like Sey-
mour, Schlei and Mike Mitchell.
"In three weeks l would be in as
good shape as / would get into all
season. The same is true today
have some players who are ready
to start the season now. They may
be in better shape now than they
will be ON April IA, when we start
