Sweeps Sets for Lead,

A FTER taking two from A. S. & T.
= No. 1, rolled before the regularly
scheduled matches Of the night, City
Bank still had another American Sc
curity team to contend with-the No.
2 team, which was expected to stave
of the challenge to its brother" team.
But City Bank swept all three from
Security's second team while A. S.
& It's No. 1 was sweeping its set,
thereby entering the final game
started at 10:15 o'clock-one game
behind.
But with Mummer, Williams, Meyer,
Mehler and Hayden in great shape,
City Bank took its sixth game Of the
night and, as much to its surprise as
any ones, found itself on top with a
greater pinfall.
The victory for City Bank over
American Security was doubly i'm
portant as it stopped the pennant
rush Of the latter, which had won the
Bankers championship for the past
two years. A third victory would give
American Security permanent pos
session Of the Joshua w. Carr trophy.
American Security No. 1, had only
one honor of the night. Its ace, AL

N YEW YORK, February 11.-Ma-
M jor league base bali club as. viii viii
" spend approximately 100000
L in Spring training this season,
with the New York Giants Sc, 900
trip to Havana topping the list.
These figures represent the cost of
transporting players to the training
camps, paying all expenses in train
ing and bringing them back to their
respective major league cities for OPEN
ing games.
While most clubs get minor guar
antee from interests in the cities where
they train, only five are understood to
have received substantial advances
this season. Thew are the Giants and
st. Louis Cardinals in the National
League and the New York Yankees,
Philadelphia Athletics and Detroit IT,
gers in the American.
Most Clubs Figure to Lose.
DESPITE the guarantees, most teams
figure to lose money on the trips.
The Giants estimate their deficit will
be around $4,000, in spite Of perhaps
the largest guarantee of the season.
They were induced to go to Havana
by Cuban brewer, who already has
deposited their advance in q New
York bank.
The Cincinnati Reds are turning
down a guarantee from Puerto Rican
interests to return to Tampa. The
Reds have q contract to 20 to the
island, but General Manager Warren
Giles already has taken steps to
break it.
The greatest innovation of the train
ing season Is the Athletics trip
all the way to Mexico City. Their
schedule of Spring games has been
greatly curtailed, but their guar
antee should make up for this.
Cards Swap Climate for Coin.
THE Cards also have changed camps
to improve the state Of the ex-
chequer, shifting from Bradenton. Fla.
to Daytona Beach because of greater
financial inducements. President Sam
Breadon preferred the calm Braden-
ton weather to the wind of the east
coast, but decided to make the change
anyway.
Receipts Of teams training on the
Pacific Coast this year are expected
to be larger, because the Coast League
has abandoned its rule against play
ing major league teams.
The Yankees are playing Texas
League teams again this Spring be-
cause the Texas League has stopped
pegging the gate receipts split at so
per cent. Though split is the usual
agreement, the Yanks have received
as high as 80 per cent.
The Tigers will return to Lakeland,
Fla.
Players will not receive their first
1887 checks until around May l, but
they will live well, nevertheless. The
Giants, for example, either pay all
food checks or give each player $3.50 a
day to pay his own.

The story of what it needed last
night and how it got it, however, is
more absorbing than the mere occu-'

Bank. A postponed match with
American Security No. / forced both
rivals to roll two sets. American Sc
