Spring Training Schedules Crumble Under New Travel Ruling
About 60 percent of 142 major league spring games are affected by a travel rule urged by NL President Ford Frick and AL President Will Harridge. Phils in Wilmington lose 12 games, Yankees at Atlantic City drop 10, and other clubs adjust as they assess the clause allowing games when one club is en route home from training. The Dodgers and Giants face minimal changes, while the Athletics await word before shifts.
