TRAVEL 1,560,000 MILES ON BASIS OF ONE PERSON Figured It Will Take 2,500 Hams and 100,000 Eggs to Provide Their Breakfasts——~Three Teams to Prime for Season in California. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. EVER in the history of base ball has there been a caravan of such size as the one which now is Far West. N getting under way for the South and The unusual magnitude of the demonstration is due to the fact that three major league teams are going to California for Spring training this year. The distance which will be traveled by these ball players on their training jaunt will be something like a total of 1,560,000 miles, figured on the basis of enc person doing all the riding. There are 40 players to each team, althoughscach major league party will be considerably larger. Add the mileage of the players of filve other leagues—the American As- mociation, the International League, the Southern Assoclation, the Pacific Coast League and the Western League—and the total will be about 3,000,000 miles. Tt will take more than 60,000 meals, on a conservative estimate, to care for major league ball players from the time they assemble until they get back where the fodder must be pro- vided out of their personal funds. One-third of these meals naturally will be breakfasts. ¢ Ball players have an inherent fond- ness for “ham and” at their morning meal. Tt will take at least 2,500 hams and not less than 100,000 eggs to nourish them properly and keep them happy. Other food will have to be provided in llke quantity and on a similar basis of estimate, but it is extremely essential that much care and "pains be taken in the mat- ter of ham and eggs. Never before have so many as three major league teams gone to.the Pa- cific Coast in one season for Spring ining. Last vear there were two. The Chicago Cubs foregathered on Catalina Island, which is the prop- erty of their owner, Willlam Wrigley, while the Pittsburgh Plrates were trained at Paso Robles, Calif., be- cause their owner, Barney Dreyfuss, could not find rcom for them at Hot Springs. This year Dreyfuss is send- ing his players back to Paso Robles because he thought last year it was an {deal spot for & training camp. Only 3 of the 16 major league teams will not train in either Florida or California.

LXIX—LEAGUE PRESIDENTS—JOHN A ] There had been a time when nominee for president This had been squelched before the meeting, when slight disposition to insurrection Wad troppedsup from one source. The member, who was not quite sure that he wanted Hevd- ler to be president, was won over, and there never has been any reason to belleve that he was ever disgruntled at any time because Heydler had been elected. Th present president had been with base ball a long time and, for that matter, with the National League for a long time. He acted as an umpire for the National League when he reslded in Washington as a young man and it was through Harry Pul- liam that he was Induced to come to New York to be the statistician of the league and eventually to become its secretary and treasurer as he grew more and more conversant with the dutles that he would have to per- form. He was made secretary some time after Pulliam went into office, which upset the slate that had been arranged earlier, when another was to have been secretary and a third man president, due to the fact that it was understood Pulllam did not wish to be president Heydler has been one of the most efficient men in connection with base ball organization since there has been organized base ball. Like all the others, he has had his troubles, but he has kept away from most of them by his knowledge of men and what is the proper thing to expect, and by making his way clear in advance fre- quently has made his way easfer. He has had many difficult things to de- cide, but in the gregt majority of instances his decisions Have been well founded and have stood the test of the disagreements filed by club owners ~ Hevdler was head of the league through the long fight that was be- ing made to get a readjustment of the national commission, the con- trolling power in base ball to which certain members of the National League circuit objected. There was one faction of the league which held that the president of the American League had complete control of the commisston's affairs despite the fact that August Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati club, was chairman of the commission - It was repeatedly alleged that the ational League was not being prop- erly considered in the declsions that were being given out, although this was not always apparent to those who reviewed the decisions. In any event, the National League deter- mined to force ‘Herrmann's resigna- tion from the commission in spite of the fact that he was one of their own number, and the unpleasant task fell upon Heydler to ask for the Cin- cinnat! man's resignation. Herrmann finally stepped out, and after he did so chaos, or something akin to it, reigned for a time in the relations of the two major circuits, and out of it grew the appointment of Landis to the position of commis- sioner of base ball. This quite com- pletely sheared Heydler of most of his authority, except as an executive over his own organization, but he declared that he was glad of it, if only there could be some adjustment In base ball affairs by which it was possible for the major leagues to act together. He still is president and will be so for the next four vears. It is a little difficult to tell what they will bring, as anything is likely to happen in base ball, from birth to death. The other day the president remarked that the years in which Lynch was president were the most delightful in all his career, and hoped some like them would return T MATCH TO NAVY.

Florida gets the other 10 big league outfits, and a half dozen minor league teams thrown in for good measure. On top of the estimated mileage of the travels of ball players In the Springtime before the regular sea- son opens, 300,000 miles more should be added for side trips, exhibition games and that sowt of thing. Then a notion may be had as to what it means to start the national game merrily on its wa On the way back from there will be little exhibition phil- andering on the part of Pittsburgh and Chicago.

The teams down in Florida wiil play a lot of exhibition games, both in that State and on their way home. | Florida, in fact, is so speckled with | exhibition games that the State looks as If it had base ball freckles all over its fair face. There will be con- tests between all of them, from Fort Meyers on the south to Orlando on the north. People talk about the bigness of base ball when they wish to hrag of the United States sports.

Jack Alberry of Washington Canoe | Club, who won the South Atlantic A. A. U. two-mile run in Baltimore last Wednesday night ,again scored at tbat distance. With a handicap around the 60-yard mark apparently, although he was credited with 90 yards on the program, Alberry fol- lowed the pace of Harry Helm, Georgetown runner who started from scratch, until the last lap. In the back stretch, the Washington Canoe Club runner forged ahead and finished a strong winner in 9 minutes, 47 4-5 seconds.
