VALUE OF SPRING TRAINING
TO BE PUT TO TEST

New York, Jan. -26.-It looks
as though next season will give
us pretty good answer as to the
real value of spring baseball
training.
That is, if the clubs train in
the north near home or make
a short trip to the Carolinas, as
some now seem likely to do.
Along about June there may
be some evidence as to whether
the lack of the usual warm ses-
sions in Florida, or California,
has handicapped the players in
getting in shape, particularly
the pitchers.
In past years, many players
and several managers have said
the spring drills were too long,
that three weeks would suffice
instead of the customary six
weeks.
Then some have held that the
early training over such a long
period has done more harm than
good. Several Brooklyn players
felt that the Rot Havana sun
took too much out of them.
1t is certain that the publicity
value of the trip has been one
of the chief reasons for spring
training. 1t served to get base
ball news in the home town pa
pers weeks before the season
opened. 1t also spread the Cos
pei of baseball in the hinter1ands,
particularly the exhibition games
on the way north.
1t was proving ground for
recruits. But most clubs bring
their likely prospects up to the
majors the last month of the
regular season and get perhaps
a better chance to inspect them
then. And even after spring eX-
periments, it often is mid-sea-
son before a manager has defin-
itely made up his mind as to a
rockies ability.
l recall two instances when
managers changed their minds
very quickly down South. At
Sarasota in 1898, Joe Cronin of
the Red Sox spoke very highly
of a Coast league youngster nam
ed Ted Williams. Well, before
/ could get a yarn out about the
kid, he had been shipped to Min
neapolis. And, at st. Petersburg
the same year, Frank Frisch was
raving about the baseball posi-
bilities of pro footballs newest
star, Sammy Baugh. But, few
days later, just about the time
the papers were using my little
profile on Singing Sammy,
Baugh was shipped off to the
Rochester farm. So, baseball
writers have learned to keep
their fingers crossed when they
write pieces about rockies, even
when managers are enthusiastic.
Some of the spring trips were
pretty expensive but several
clubs, through economies and
guarantees from the Southern
cities, managed to get back a
good slice of their expenditures.
And the rest could be written
off to advertising.
Cap Arson started it all. Back
in 1886 he took his champion
Chicago White Stockings to Hot
Springs, Ark. And a decade Ia
ter, the Baltimore Orioles went
to Macon, Ga. In 1901 Connie
Mack's Athletics trained at jack
sonville, Fla. And five years
later, John McGraw created quite
a sensation by taking his New
York Giants clear across the
country to Los Angeles. Savan-
nah and Hot Springs were favor
tie spots for years but in recent
seasons Florida and California

WICHITA, Kas., Jan. 26.-Cir-
Gus gadgetS, once the aces in Ray
Dumont's pack of tricks to keep
the turnstiies clicking, have no
part in the 1913 plans of the ma
tional semi-pro baseball congress
president.
It's not that the war has shaken
his confidence to the lot of the
sandlotter - from from it. It's
just that he believes a serious at
titude is more in keeping with the
times.
People during war times are
serious minded" says the man
who in years past has banked to
a great extent on such devices as
a pneumatic home plate buster,
and a jack in-the-box micrOphone
for the home plate umpire to at
tract the fans.
Take the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers. fer example. Two years ago
baseball fans were amused over
their daffY tactics. The Dodgers
were heroes. Last season. after
the war broke out. their daft
ness just didn't click. even
though they did, lead the Ma
tional League much of the sea-
son.
Dumont has laid the ground
work for what he calls we'll
rounded program for the coming
season. Confidently, he tells you
that the semi-pros should forge
ahead to a more prominent place
in baseball because of the war.
The baseball clubs. the play
ers and the fans may not be the
same as they were in former
years. but you can mark 1t down
that there'H be more sandlot
teams than at any time in the
past decade" Dumont asserts.

IN NORTH AFRICA, July IA
large unit made up exclusively of
B-26 Martin Marauder bombers has
been created within Maj Gen.
James H. Doolittle's Strategic Air
Force after a long trial by combat

The unit, believed to be one of the

raid on Toxic.
In one 33-day, action filed period
since the fall Of Tunisia, the unit
made about SO trips over enemy
territory. During four days of oper-
ations against Pantelleria alone it
dumped nearly 600 tons of bombs.
Forty-six enemy fighters which
challenged the Maurauders were
shot down. A number of grounded
enemy planes were destroyed and
many more were damaged.

won respect for the plane in spite
of its oversized engines and short,
stubby wings.
They said the plane has fulfilled a
demand for low-altitude bomber of
medium range, able to carry sizable
bomb loads and fly at high speed to,
protect itself. Improvements have
been made on the newer models as
the result of experience in combat,
particularly in the South Pacific.
One of the operations officers
here, 1t. James E. Conlan, former
professional baseball player, who has
flown 300 hours of combat, said he
believed the Marauder lis as good
as any for bomb precision and area
bombing at medium attitudes"
"It can handle about every job in
the North African theater," he said.
Il must admit that when you come
down from flying formations you've
done a days work, but the men
whose lives depend on the planes
performance consider it satisfac-
