Spring differ essentially from those put into practice by Many other Man agers of big league but i have obtained Good results and am satisfied with my in the first place i do not regard the training Camp As a school where Young men know How to play get into physical Condi and so my 3s confined to conditioning not teaching the Ball i think from experience that this system is the it was with this system that i trained the cubs and they won four pennants for when the Yankees returned from Bermuda last year they were As Trai Nedas any Ball club that Ever went to the but they struck some sudden changes in tie when hey reached new and were practically wrecked before the season open i believe the methods i adopt put a player on a keen without tiring him and the Only Chance i take is the weather that when we Jet North but Yau have to take chances in baseball As Well As other things in i have been asked repeatedly what i think Are the chances for the Yankees this and i say that if the
