plants range from paying for pic

receiving wrong or badly blurred

The bureau said 1t had received
85 complaints alone against one
street photograph firm now out of
business. It was estimated that
there were at least 10 such firms
operating In the city.
Reports by the bureau and Mr..
Bailey have been turned over to
Mr.. Keech, who is investigating
steps taken in other cities. Inquiries
up to the present time reveal that
IN a number of cities such COM
mercial street photographers have
been banned but that the decision
OF the courts have been mixed.
One Of the problems In banning
these photographers, who stand in
the downtown areas and snap pedes-
trians hurrying by, is to protect
legitimate activities, such as news

After asking a mistrial, on the
ground that the President preju-

missing each of the four defendants
attorneys stated:
That inasmuch as the Presidents
address cast the inference and pre-
sumption that all defendants are
OF the so-called lunatic fringe,
which is an admission by the pros
ecution, it Is the duty of the court
to consider and determine the mat
ter judicially, and the record OF
this cause should show afirma-
lively that upon this issue there
has been the exercise of judicial
determination and discretion, de-
termining whether or not the
President spoke the truth or other

The President referred to the Sill

liam Dudley Pelly, a defendant, and
named by the Government as one
of the organizations through which
the 26 accused persons conspired

organization with Hitler,s Brown
Shirts and Mussolini's Black Shirts.

Nv WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, March 27.-R-
We don't quite agree with Connie
Mack's opinion that major league
baseball clubs never will seek
balrny climes again for six weeks
or so of happy holidaying called
spring training. We agree with him
that such activity isn't absolutely
necessary, but neither was the
whistle you used to get with new
suits. but you were glad to get
it just the same.
The plain fact is that prolonged
spring training in Florida or Tex
as or Louisiana or California or
come other such places under the
sun have become an American IN
stitution with history dating back
58 wears. In 1886 Capanson took
his Chicago White Stockings down
to Hot Springs. Ark, as an ex-
neriment in sweating them out for
the season. And a couple OF years
later Ned Hanlon took the Brook
lyn Superbas to Macon, Ga.
We don't know how much pub
licity the clubs got out OF such
trips in those early days, but to-
day publicity is the very life and
breath of spring training. In fact,
the major reason for its existence.
Publicity, and the chance to give
the youngsters coming up fair
trial.
If such trips were necessary
from a conditioning standpoint the
lower classification minor league
clubs wouldn't be able to exist.
They can't afford to travel to the
next town, or to keep squad in
wheat cakes and sausages for
more than week before the sea-
son opens.
From personal experience in mi
nor league towns we know a little
of how the clubs operate. In our

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, March 81.
-RHExhorted through five-hour
drills starting at 9 am, the Gin
cinnati Reds are leading a soup
to-vitamin pill existence in spring
training as Manager Bill McKech-
ME molds them for iron-man roles
in the National League race.
Although some baseball observ-
ers pegged Cincinnati as a pennant
challenger after its second-place
finish in 1943, McKechnie fails to
share the idea and looks at the
st. Louis Cardinals as the team
to beat.
Lunch is delivered to the play
ers at the huge Indiana University
fieldhouse, and when they return
to town for the evening meal, an
orange colored vitanin pill is at
their plates as the first course.

hours of practice throughout the
season than ever before. This must
be done in order to maintain any

SPORTS TRAIL

early days at Appleton, Wis, we
didn't pay much attention to the
| training. It seemed there wasn't
much. The players just dropped in
overnight, and bang, the season
was on.
The players seemed to get along
all right, with no more than or
binary muscle aches. They couldn't
afford to pamper themselves. The
clubs couldn't afford to carry in
active players on the payroll, and
if a guy couldn't get out here and
play he was out of job, that's
all. Consequently, they got out and
played, and no squawking.
I It is odd, at that, that a player
coming up through the minors
without apparent need of spring
conditioning is found to need it
when he hits the majors or double
"A' clubs.
But he doesn't need it. Mr.. Mack
again is right when he says a
player who takes care Of himself
during the winter shouldn't need
six weeks of baking out and gen
eral overhauling.
In fact, we think he's right in
everything he says except the as
sertion the clubs won't go South
again after the war. Maybe it isn't
sensible for them to do it. Maybe
it isn't necessary. But they'll do
it just the same.
And here's one guy who really
will be disappointed if they don't.
Even if we never went with them
we'd be disappointed. There S
something about the stories and
pictures coming from the camps
when the north winds do blow that
is a promise of winters end. When
the squads repcrt it's grounding

it would be taking something from
