Something is going on here that is different from the pre-war years. It amounts about to - this: the youngsters are eager— the kids fresh out of the service— - to show what they can do, and the veterans are nervous. It is something that will be re-| . peated in every training camp this | spring. An upheaval is in progress in the big leagues. Every club is loaded with strapping young men who in the past two-three years have been starring in service ball, and who are cenfident of their a- bility to deliver in the majors, They have reported in great shape, ready to play nine innings of ball tomorrow. But they are not the only ones in that condition. The veterans are ready, too. They have appreciated the competition they were about to run into from the kids, and they have made a point of taking special exercises for several weeks to tune up their age- ° ing limbs. ‘ This has been true both of the men who played last year, and of the stars who have been in the ser- vics way from the game for sev- eral seasons. All of them appear to have realized suddenly that base- of making nice one, at ball is a pleasant waj a living, and a very that. - e e DR.
