GIANTS NEED THE INJECTION.
Only the Youngsters Are Play
ing Decent Ball
No Row in the Directorate, but
Some Dissatisfaction.

An Alb Indance Of good American dollars
lies In store for the man who invents
some sort OF an injection a la Gutten-
burg for the uss OF the majority OF New
York's League biil-piayers. They err
tainly do need some sort OF "git-thar-Ely
elixir" The public has been uncommonly
generous in its support and patronage OF
the team thus far, and the rooters now
look to the team to come out OF the
trance watch has developed a number OF
the players and hit a winning gait.
1t Is early in the season and the game
IL young yet to be sure, but still the
record of four victories and six defeats Is
not a bit encouraging to the baseball en-
thusia8ts. VINO writhe and squirm I'M
easily whct they see how hard the team
holds down the isath or ninth place In
the League.
The u S-comcrs in the team this year
have don" by far the most Creiltahle
work. The diminutive colleSian, Murphy,
and h'p star battery, Meeitin and Farrell.
haven't done a thing in any game but put
M a most superior article of ball. The
excuse for the old players Is that they
haven't gotten down to their customary
st"aliress; that they are over weight.
and that all that Is needed Is warm
weather to get them into form.
The public cannot realize why the old
timers on the team cannot round into
shnr" just as quickly as the new acqui-
sitiuns. And 1t is just because there
are such vast differences in the playing
of the men, that forces outspoken critl-
CiSm of the teams work on the part Of
n few high officials in the Club, who
have invested in the New York ball
nine for something else besides their
health.
Director W. u. Wheeler has not been
entirely satisfied with the game that the
New York's have offered so far. But
II any one thinks that there has been
a big row in the Club; and that Mr..
on the Polo Grounds until Roger Con-
nor gives way to Jack Doyle at first
base; he viii be the most mistaken ball
crank In town. Mr.. Wheeler said to-
for the interests of the club, and as
any man in his regular business is priv
ilnEed to criticise the work done for
should not follow in a ball team. Mr..
Ward and I talked over certain mat
ters a day or two & We talked
secrecy. If I think one player might
do n great deal better in a certain posi-
ZION than another. and that a change
would be for the Clubs interest, and I
say so, you cannot call hat having a
big row."
"1f you want to know how much truth
there Is In my saying, I'd not go tic
"'i'.hti. Sallt uHtll certain changes are
made, Just run up and see me at the
game" this afternoon"
Eddie Talcott, the sansuine and en-.
thuSinstic Treasurer of the Club, broke
In then and said: There's no row In thu
club. We have the hest team In the
League, and the public will find tina
out mighty soon. Mr.. Wheeler think
Jack Doyle Is too active to be kept or
the bench. Jack is surely a lively player
Roger Conner Is bound to get tina gooC
oid batting arm of his IN form befor,
long. Tieman. too, Is picking up ant
lust now. there isn't need Of putin,
stafford in the outfield. Just becaus,
W" had won only four out of ten games
the public and the press are Inclined t
jump on MS. | remember when the New
Works used to jump In and win nine o
ten straight games at the start and how
would they finish? Fourth or NTH
why one time we lost ten straight game
II few years ago and everybody howle,
'ynllow ball That season we finishe,
hrst. Then again We We're winning RICH
along, and secured eleven straight game
and the rooters have begged us to lc
the other fellows win a game for pity
sake. How did we finish then? Fifth
New York is all right and you can lax
my word for It,"
