as a training base by the Phils,
the list of spring camp sites for
the majors was completed. The

cilities and the selection of a new
site was delayed until the new
owners took hold.
Locations of spring training
camps for the majors follow:
Boston Braves—Choate School,
Wallingford, Conn.
Boston Red Sox—Tufts College,
Medford, Mass.
Brooklyn—Bear Mountain, N.

By SID FEDER
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK, March 8—Dart-
mouth Don Burnham beat National
Champ Frank Dixon on his legs in
the I.C.4-A mile—but he won it
on his head. He cut out such »i
pathetically slow pace in the first
quarter last night that it appar-
ently made Frank doze off and
forget what might happen. . . So
when Dixon took over the lead in
the second quarter, he just kept
loafing along, which was just what
Don ordered from Santa Claus. . .
That way, Frank was a “dead
pigeon" when Burnham pulled the
trigger on his finishing kick—
which, incidentally, doesn’t pack
much more wappop than an army
mule's. Any way you look at
it though, the way New York U.
grabbed off the national AAU and
IC4-A championship on consecu-
tive Saturdays has the Violets as
one of the classiest collegiate
teams of all time. . . No. chum,
these Violets are definitely not
the blushing variety. . .

Trifle Too Big
By HUGH FULLERTON JR.
NE \VYORK, March 8—<hT—No
matter what the ball players max
think of training north of the
Eastman-Landis line, there may be
good news for the club owners
who usually keep their fountain
pens filled with red ink until the
season starts. . . Detroit’s Jack Zel-
ler. who first advocated northern
conditioning, has figured out that
the Tigers may break even on
training expenses for the first time
since 1929. when they took down
a $12,000 guarantee from Phoenix
Ariz. . . . That'll give you an idea
how your favorite club should
make out. . . Speaking of training
camps, wonder if the Phils picked
Hershey because they're not going
to bar anybody?"

Foremost is orientation of the
