MAJOR LEAGUE'
TEAMS AGAIN
GO IN TRAINING
NEW YORK, March 26.—Major
league baseball squads representing
fourteen of the sixteen cities compos
ing the National and American cir
cuits, have begun wending their way
southward to spring training camps.
The aftermath of the world war is ap
parent even this early in the baseball
season in the plans of the various
clubs.
For tlie first time in many years
two teams will attempt to condition
players on the home field, thus saving
the heavy expense incidential to long
trips to the South or West at a time
when railroad fares and hotel charges
are considerably above normal. In
this regard the experiment of the
Philadelphia Americans and the St.
Louis Nationals will be watched with
more than casual interest by the
club owners of other combinations,
with the idea of adopting the plan
should it be demonstrated that satis
factory results can be achieved on the
club diamond as well as under the
palms and a 90 degree temperature.
Of the fourteen clubs which have
not yet reached this conclusion but
four will return to the scenes of their
1918 training period. The two Chica
go teams revisit last year’s camps
and the same is true of the Cleveland
and Washington combinations. Every
other club will try pastures new. The
state of Florida leads as host to the
training athletes with five squads
quartered within the borders of the
peninsula province. Georgia is next
with three clubs; Texas third with
two, while California, North Carolina,
Indianh and Louisville will each be
graced by one group of toiling ball
heavers.
■^he complete list of big league
training camps for 1919 follows:
National League
Brooklyn—Jacksonville, Fla.
Boston—Columbus, Ga.
Chicago—Pasadena, Cal.
Cincinnati—Waxahatchie, Tex.
• Philadelphia—Charlotte, N. C.
Pittsburg—West Baden, Ind.

The University of Pennsylvania
annual relay carnival has for years
been regarded as the barometer of the
college athletic year. If the two-day
track and field meet was a success
both from the standpoint of entries
and attendance all was well with in
tervarsity sport. Following the prece
dence of previous seasons it would
appear that intercollegiate competi
tion is to return with greater impetus
than ever, for with nearly 250 college
and school teams already entered in
the games of April 25th and 26th, the
success of the carnival is thus early
assured. This is so especially in view
of the fact that all the big colleges of
the East and West are coming. The
most interesting entry to date is that
of Annapolis Naval Academy. This
is the first time that the Annapolis
i track men have been permitted tc
. i compete away from the academy. II
West Point enters, the two academ>
teams will meet in a one-mile race foi
l the championship of the United States
service. In case the West Poinl
cadets cannot compete, Annapolis will
I ' probably enter the one-mile collegf
• relay championship and compete
against Philadelphia, Chicago, Michi
gan. Harvard, Princeton and the othei
big college quartettes.
Second only to the interest in th<
Annapolis entry is that of the inltia
appearance in the North of the Geor
gfc Tech, track team. Due to theii
remarkable showing in football, Geor
gia Tech, is now regarded as th<
| strongest college in the South fron
the athletic standpoint. They wil
'k compete in the one-mile relay cham
f pionship of the Southern Atlantic In
tercollegiate association. In addition
they will be represented in several o
I § the individual events.

BEST ANTIDOTE
IS VICTORY
GARDENS
WASHINGTON, March 25.—Ameri
canism illustrated in growing victory
gardens is “the best antidote for Bol
sheviK doctrines,” according to the
Y. M. C. A., which is planning a 1919
campaign of “Americanism and the
speaking of the English language via
the victory garden.” Details of the
campaign were completed here today
by the national war garden commis
sion, co-operating with the immigra
tion department of the Young Men’s
Christian Association in Chicago.
Plans also provide for the showing of
the victory garden work in moving
pictures throughout the country.
To start off the campaign ten thou
sand garden and canning books have
been sent to Chicago in addition to
several thousand posters. The Young
Men's Christian Association had 150
acres of industrial gardens last year
and they hope to better that record
this year. These gardens are 25x150
feet. ,
“This is one of the most construct
ive campaigns yet undertaken,” said
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of
the national war garden commission
today. “Do not forget that the garden
produces something besides food. It
produces thrift so important to the na
tion at this time. Then, too, it means
contented workers everywhere. The
man with a victory garden realizes
the value of a home and he knows the
value of making regular trips to the
bank. Then, too, the incentive to get
out in the open and speak the English
language is of tremendous value.
“The banks of the country know
the home food producer for a good
customer and a good citizen. The time
to begin making that citizenship Is
when the citizen is new. The best
antidote for Bolshevik doctrine is the
production of food for the kitchen
door.”
X". O. xviouaic, acbiciuij mo
tional war garden commission, has
just returned from Europe where he
spent three months studying the home
food production plans. He points out
that everything possible must be done
in the United States to produce food
close to the point of consumption in
order that other food stuffs that can
be shipped long distances can be sent
abroad. There are millions in Europe
close to the point of starvation, ac
cording to reports from abroad.
Siberia, too, is to learn all about vic
tory gardening. Professor W. C.
O'Kane of the state agricultuial col
lege at Durham, N. H., has prepared
a garden circular for distribution this
summer in Siberia by the agricultural
educational expedition under the au
spices of the Young Men’s Christian
Association. Pictures from the na
tional war garden commission victory
garden book are used in the book
which has been translated into Rus
sian.

LAID NORTH SEA MINE
BARRAGE IN A HURRY
LOND|ON, Feb 18 by mail).—Speed
was one of the essentials in the laying
of the great North Sea mine barrage,
which was almost completed when the
armistice was signed. In doing 80
per cent of the work the United
States forces maintained their repu
tation for doing things in a hurry.
The general average for the Ameri
can ships was 1130 mines every hour,
but a record of 1440 mines an hour
was made when United States vessels
dropped and anchored 5,520 of the
death-dealing devices in three hours
and fifty-one minutes. The ships trav
eled fifty-six miles in doing it.
The American ships laid, all told,
56,447 mines and twenty-three car
riers, ten planters and two tugs were
ready to go out again fully loaded
when held up because of the certainty
that the armistice was to be signed.
The total cost was $48,275,000.
The effect of the barrage on the war
has not been fully determined, but a
naval report just issued here indicates
that its benefits were more moral than
actual. It is known from German
sources that submarine crews hesi
tated to accept the North Sea risk
after the barrage was started.
It is definitely known that six sub
marines were seriously damaged while
attempting to cross the barrage and
“it is possible several submarines
may have been sunk,” sayA the report.
The real effect of the barrage will not
be known until further evidence is
obtained from German sources.

England, Italy or Greece, leaves being
