New York, Jan. IL --(UP)- The
New York Yankees, champions Of
the American league, became the
seventh major league club to COM
plete close-to-home spring training
plans today with the announce
ment that they viii condition at
the Asbury Park, N. j., high school
only IS miles from New York
city.
The Yankees, knocked of by the
st. Louis Cardinals in the world
series, were scheduled to train as
usual at st. Petersburg, Fla, but
changed their plans because Of war
time transportation difficulties.
The squad will report "about
March 49," President Ed Barrow
said and added that Asbury Park, a
seashore resort, has a climate 10
per cent warmer than New York.
"It's only a one and a half hour
ride from New York CITY," Barrow
said. Manager Joe Mccarthy and
Chief Scout Paul Krichell went
down there Saturday and COM
pleted arrangements and I'm sure
they will prove satisfactory"
Nice Set-Up
Barrow said the Yankees will use
the Asbury Park high school field.
It has concrete seats with a ca.
pacity Of 1900, and there are
showers, lockers and dressing rooms
under the stands. There Is also a
cinder track around the field.
even If there should be bad
weather, there is large gymnasium
at the field with space to. warm up

room for Mccarthy to give the
whole squad calisthentics," Barrow
added. 1.-THE field Is only seven
blocks from our hotel"
Giants, Dodgers Next?
The Yankees are the first New
York club to complete new training
arrangements. The Dodgers are
considering using Yale university or
the University Of Rochester. Man
ager Mel OFT Of the Giants said he
was considering Lakewood, N. J, a
Giant camp in the eos. Both were
expected to reveal their plans this
week.
The remainder Of the clubs also
were expected to swing into line
this week. Uncertain March wealth
Ell conditions in northern localities
made important the selection OF
spots with field houses.
Chicago's two teams - the cubs
and White Sox - have shifted from
California to French Lick Springs,
Ind. The Athletics moved from Sa-
vannah, Ca, to Wilmington, Del,
with the Phils taking over Swarth-
more college field and gymnasium
in lieu Of Miami Beach.
Boston's Red Sox moved from
Sarasota, Fla, to Tufts college, Med
ford, Mass, and the Detroit Tigers
switched from Lakeland, Fla, to
Evansville, Ind.

ny JAIN OOOO1
New York, Jan. 12-(Up)-For the
past ten days Metropolitan sports
pages have seeped nostalgia, as the
baseball writer's pined for the south
ern training camps Of yore.
Even Commissioner Lands, a
hard bitten guy who is tough to
trim, went nostalgia (pray support
me lest I swoon) and vicariously
shared the pangs Of the baseball
Boswells as they expressed dainty
but heroic regrets that there would
be no training tricks to sunny chimes
this year because Of the transporta-
ton situation.
Yet you read no larchrymose
laments from the boxing writer's,
the men who had the most to bleat
about, because these hard chroniclers
of clout wound up without even
ersatz training camps. The baseball
writer's, at least, have some place
to go, even If 1t is only to Asbury
Park, N. j., where the New York
Yankees will train.
But the New York boxing writer's,
for example, can journey henceforth
only to Stillmans gymnasium on
Eighth Avenue. And no one knows
1t better than ~ their sports edi-
tors, and az their wives. Which Is
a hopeless combination, indeed.
It would seem to the casual OBJ
server that the northward transfer
Of the baseball training camps-both
major and minor leagues-would be
more bitter blow to the sports
writing fraternity than the blackout
Of the big fight" camps.
In q concentrated sense that Is
correct, but viewed from the demo-
cratic angle of sports writing it's
not true. Because we know-as one
who has had our fling in both types
Of encampments-youl find much
larger and more representative

Sings I'm English.
Miss Traubel sang these songs in
English and with the perfect clarity
of her enunciation made them dou-
bly, enjoyable for her audience. 1t
was pity that the songs by Schu-
bert and Strauss that came in a
later group were not given also in
the language of her listeners. For
Miss Traubel, for all her fame as
a Wagnerian singer, is an ideal in
terpreter of songs, giving emotional
significance to each phrase and that
with the highest artistry. These
songs, "Aufenthalt," "Wiegenlied'
and "Seligkeit" by Schubert and
"Ruhe Meme Seele" and "Caecelie"
by Strauss, lie in the richest and
most expressive medium of her voice.
It's pliability matched the fateful
color of "Aufenthalt" to change to
the tender mood of the cradle song
or the gentle passion of "Seligkeit"
with equally potent effect.
Miss Traubel's voice Is glorious
organ. not only healthy and wide
ranged, but with a warmly human
quality to it. 1t obeys her intellec-
tual guidance with complete ease
and is equally responsive in the
full range of dynamics. Its timber
in the lower and middle registers
is full-throated and warmly colored
and brilliant in the upper reaches.
However, this brilliance tends to a
piercing quality utterly at variance
with what went before and SEEM
ingly unnecessary. If Miss Traubel
could-and it is not impossible
retain the richness of her lower
voice In the higher registers, hers
would be one of the outstanding
voices of the era, but the marked
difference Is an important flaw not
to be overlooked.
