In a candid, old style sports column, Johnny Evers argues that climate and travel do little to determine a player’s condition. He cites training at home in Troy California and various southern states, insisting determination and hard work keep players ready for long seasons. Veterans need less guidance than youths, he says, and staying in shape is crucial to earning money in baseball.
