YANKS TAKING TRAINING EASY Hiqtuius Team So Precious That It's Being Handled a* Tltougli Its Players Were Made of Glass. By JOHN B. FOSTEB CMTrtfftt 1 124. tar Tlu Al.tra New Orleans. March 24. ? The world champion Yankees are not working as bard these days as tim ber hands cult hi g down a cypress forest. They have had It compara tively easy since they have hern here. Hut. in their sublime way. which is indifferent to all outside urges, they are getting into condi tion exactly as they did last. year ? taking their time and their pleasure with the task. The Yanks bear with lofty dignity the honors that no with their rank ns cHamplons. There was a time when they were clad to work tin* front of tin* theater for a seat in the pit. But today, they are invited guests at the theater, sitting in box es. The peasant of today becomes the king of tomorrow if he is a good enough revolutionist. Manager Muggins says the priirrl jial_thinu about a traininu camp in these 'days is to see that the* players do not become Injured. Hug is be-| coming an iconoclast. With his team of precious Jewels, he is much more fearsome than ho wjjs when he was trying to f^nrh a bunch of rookies how to be heroes. Then he broke in ball players. Now he fears that the ball players will break themselves. The players are urged not to be overactive, but to be very careful where they put their feet. J An added year has made nil of the . Yankees Just 3?.r> days mou brittle | than they were. None of them shows it much, however. If ball players were legs petted and more cussed these days, they would be leas b tit tle. The worrying health officer with his red flag, has nut so many restrictions around athletes that the ball players imagine themselves out door bric-a-brac, to be handled with chamois gloves and a feather duster. Of the veterans. Ruth. Meusel and Witt look well and fit. Happy, too. ; Plpp's face Is clear and rugged.* Ward is smiling as ever, and better for baseball than he was last year. As for Deacon Scott*? time does not age him in manner, appearance or determination. Others talk about his inability to get about a:; fast as he one* did. but Scott says "let's see anybody get me out, that's all." Duean is the* only inflelder who may have a treacherous member of his body. His knee will slip itri socket now and then, like the knee of a trick doll. Hut he has not reached the staue where he is to be looked upon with sympathy. Catchers and pitchers mnnlfest no difference from their showing in 1923. Exactly the some team that won the world championship In 1 2 4 Is here at New Orleans, as much like Itself as If the pages of history had been turned back and the team were beginning last season. That's all there Is to It. Dope, fear, ar raignment and praise- -all may be scattered to the winds. The Yanks are as good as they were, barring addition of days, and they are as likely to repeat last year's perform ance as they were at the beginning of 1023. There is also the chance that was present last year that some one chap may become upHet. the team become nervous and fearful, and slip its cable and go crashing on the reefs. Any baseball team Is likely to have that happen, especially when the toaui Is on** that has attained Its chief purpose in life, and knows that from April 15 to September 30. ev ery man's hand will be raised against It. But Just now there is not one lota of evidence to show that the Yanks are unable to make the fight for a championship. It's simply up to them to do It. If they put the prop er energy into their game, they are ready to go. If they think that be cause they have won the American League championship for the third time In succession, and a World's Series once, they are going to have an easy time winning attain ? then they are likely to wake up some fine day with a nightmare. Where th^ Yankees finish in 1924 Is their fight and not their excuse. They haven't a pre-season apology to offer. They are themselves as a hall team, and U\**y are better fortified with the right kind of young mate rial than any American League ''am that has started a season in the last five years. ' There is no specuintlon about th** team. It's then Ilk'* an 18 karat diamond on the third finger. The sole question that remains for the Jury of fans is what the team will do. It can't lord it through the Amerlcau League. No monocle-ln-the-eye. high toppcr superciliousness Is going to loavo the American League submis sively weak as a whole. The Yanks have got to put on their blue over alls and dig. If they do. the chances are that at the end of 1924 they may feel again at* if they have a right to demand, on*' more raise In the quid pro quo' between them and their boss before ( they enter upon that stage of disin-i e? ration that haa hit the floeat lura-' inarif-s of baseball since Cap Anson had to ijuit through sheer force of accumulating feet after 22 /ears of play.
