i YANKEES , t OWNERS ANNOUNCE SELECTION OF SITE: Choice Indicates That Giants j Will Prepare Again at San Antonio. NO WORD FROM McGRAW Believe Champions Will Return to Texas Despite Invitations From Coast. Br DAW1EL. r Rod (lri! was burned generously along Canal street In New Orleans last night. Roman candles were set off with ahan- | don In the Spanish Fort and other gath- i ering places of the dllletante of the Crescent City. There was widespread ; juhiliation, for the natives Just had been informed from the offices of the Yankees that Babe Ruth and his supporting cast again would be In their midst In March. Ed Barrow announced yesterday af- ' tornoon that after long deliberation Col. ' Ruppert, Col. Huston, Miller Huggins ' and he had arrived at the conclusion 1 that New Orleans would be the best ' place to send the Yankees for their 1 spring training. The club won the ) American League pennant after working in the Crescent City last March, and ! the powers that be figured that the team could do a lot worse by going elsewhere. 1 The selection of New Orleans by the ' Yankees is taken to mean that Barrow * has received intimations from San 1 Antonio that the Giants would return there. Huggins was very anxious to 1 Jump Into the Mission City if the world I champions passed it up. But here it is < almost December with no word from . John McGraw as to where he is going? t ^ ?o tlie Yankees picked New Orleans for < a second time. < Will Play Dodgrm Again. , The Yankees will Join forces with the ' Dodgers again for the tour northward, < but no definite action has been taken along those lines. Barrow will wait un- ' til Charley Ebbets selects his training 1 ?camp. The Squire of Flatbush will sail to-day for Florida, where he will inspect 1 the facilities offered by Clearwater, a < town about thirty miles from St. Peters- 1 burg, on the Gulf side of the peninsula, t The Brooklyns trained in Jacksonville I last March, but the Squire is not in t favor of returning there. He would c like to settle In the midst of the training t colony around St. Petersburg and form 1 a Coeoanut League with the Braves, s Phillies, Reds and Senators. I Because of the fact that the major c league season of 1923 wili open a week later than usual, on April 17. the Yan- c kees will not hasten to New Orleans in t time to begin work on March 1. This < was the custom in other years. The s boys will get their marching orders with s March 7 or 3 as the reporting date.

There will be only ten days spent on the road, for the Yanks will be in New York on Saturday, j April 14. They will open their season with the Red Sox on Tuesday, the 17th. Coast Offlclels See McCrnw. Dr. Charles Strub and George A. Putnam of the San Francisco club and Willlam McCarthy, president of the Pacific Coast League, arrived here yesterday ind immediately hopped for the offices I of*tho Giants. They are here primarily ' tot induce McOraw to bring his Giants I to Southern California to train. Harry ! Prazee wants to take his Red Sox out :hat way and come East with the Giants. Harry figures that such a trip would mean a lot of money tor both teams, but he does not figure on the vast luantlties of desert to be absorbed en route. The missionaries from "the land where he climate always is perfect" had a long :alk with Charles A. Stoncham and then opened with new vigor on McGraw and Tim Tierney. The trio admitted that diey have some rain and a few cloudy lays out their way and McGraw seconded the motion with the recollection :hat when he took the Giants to the mast in 1906 they had been forced to ay off for an entire week on account >f what In the. East is called rain. McGraw saifl that he was not ready :o make any decision. The coast trio will be around here for quite a spell, rhey will go to Louisville for the minor j : eague congress on December 5 and will ; ;ome back here for the string of major eague sessions?the National league ' neeting on December 13, the American ! ./eague meeting on the following day and he joint session on December 15. The all for the convocation of both leagues 1 vith Judge Lnndis was issued yesterday, t will be held at the Commodore. The 1 innual meeting of the International j -/eague will precede the major sessions, >n December 12. It looks very much as If McGraw will 1 leclde In favor of Sa i Antonio, just as he Yanks decided again in favor of New Orleans. For one thing Mac is highly luperstitious. He has won two pennants ind two world championships out of ian Antonio, and it is our prediction i hat the Giants will work there for the ' ourth time. i J# I M i K \ uUA' idy II -I st break the push one end, the box slides ).

Nominations for the position of chairman of the New York State Athletic ' Commission are beginning? to arrive. Jim Corbett, formerly heavyweight champion of America and now a figure, on the stage, has been named by a correspondent, who says: "I understand that the incoming Governor is going to appoint a new Boxing Commissioner and. if such is the case, 1 would like to have the honor of noml- i rating a resident of this State, who I is. In my estimation, the logical c&ndi- I date for the office. "He is a man who has been a credit to the boxing game for over a quarter ]e of a century.

Johnny Gannon will attempt to stop Tommy Lynch, the hard hitting th West Sider. Gannon knocked out Howard Mayberry in two rounds and If he beats Lynch he will be in line for j matches with the best in his class, j w) Happy Mahoney will take on the Greek j champion, Charlie Pappas. while Charley m' Picker will swap punches with Danny Ross. Lou Kaplan, the Meriden mauler, who Ot! is to meet Kid Sullivan in combat at the Garden to-morrow night, appeared In the famous arena once before. Less than a year ago he defeated Kid Wagner of ,. Philadelphia in Rickard's club. Kaplan was little known at that time, but his performance on that occasion received favorable comment. Twenty heavyweights will be seen In 1 jctlon In the ring next Monday night at ! Madison Square Garden.

Full many a head is gray in a Which bore a golden glow When football we were playing, A flock of years ago. In spite of all resistance An/1 Inriitu/lr nf nrrnl Old Time has gained his distance, Advancing toward the goal. t V And those once an example Of slender youth and tall. With belt lines more than ample Now shape up like the ball. Edward D. Woodyard of Spencer, \V. Va., writes us a very interesting tter, asserting that the highest grade of football in the United States is ayed in the Western Pennsylvania collegiate circle. And he points out e fact that the great records made by Penn State, Washington and ifferson, West Virginia and Pittsburgh have not been obtained by virtue any easy schedules. "It is my honest opinion," says Mr. Woodyard, hat year in and year out these four are stronger than Yale, Princeton, arvard and Pennsylvania." And, "Do you think," he inquires, "that the ig Four have better coaches than Warner, Bezdek, Neale and Spears?" We also learn from the letter that there are some prominent West Virnlans playing outside their native State. Among those mentioned are rale of Yale, Flannagan of Pittsburgh, Potter of Carnegie Tech, Knode of ichlgan, Hartley of Harvard, Hufford of Penn State, Myers of the Army id Caines of Princeton. Neale, Potter and Hufford should certainly give eir State a lot of good advertising. The tickets for the Nebraska-Notre Dame game were all bought two ?urs after they were put on sale. Dean Elberg of Nebraska served notice at students found guilty of scalping tickets would be expelled. Apparently e dean expects a student to be both a scholar and a gentleman. The most powerful racing car in the world will not accomplish much Ithout an experienced driver, and no football machine will reach its ultlate speed without a good quarterback. Willie Hoppe may have fiddled a lot over his shots, but certainly all the her billiardists danced to his fiddling. A misoue in billiards is like a fumble by an eleven near its own goal le. It generally leaves the opponent in a scoring position. Sam Saltus Sailer had a gal Whose front or foremost name was Sal He married her and then, you see, Sal salvaged Sallee's salary. Eleven of the highest scoring elevens this season have been California, rnell, Franklin and Marshall. Auburn, Centre, Colgate, Bucknell, Notre ime. West Virginia, Yale and Lafayette. . As a general thing the size of the opponent makes quite a difference in e size of the score. In baseball or football don't ever get the idea that the advance betting d the final score will be represented by the same figures. . gfaaHetf&'i .
