Old Lights Habe Faded; NcGYaA,' $ B7 And VeE Team

New York, March 3O.-Reports from the scene of the Giants training indicate that National league fans will scarcely know McGraws combination when it again swings around the circuit
 Many old-time familiar faces will be missing, and the local rooters will find it hard to recognize in McGraws new bunch the once "scrappy'' yellow blanketed worlds champions.
 There will be no Bresnahan, no Bower man, no Donlin, and no Seymour
 All that now remains is the knowledge that under the tuition of Manager 'Muggsy' it is a safe bet that the new team will soon learn the McGraw ag- gressive system.
 Also does it look as though quite a shakeup is anticipated in the placing of the team.
 The Giants will probably open up the season on April 14 with an entirely new outfield unless McCormick's great batting should enable him to hold his job in right field.
 This would leave Seymour's position in center and Donlin's in left to be filled. supposing that the Seymour suspension is permanent and that Donlin persists in his determination to stick to the stage.
 Murray, the new star is practically sure of one of the places in the outfield, while Helzog may find himself in Sey- mour's old position in center field

Memphis Tenn, March S0.-Every- thing may be regarded as lovely and serene in the local camp right now to listen to President Coleman Manager Babb the critical early season fans and most concerned.
 Last season the gifted Jack Fox, slugger from either side of the plate. outfielder par excellence and graceful base runner was in the midst of the Memphii. He was dissatisfied and wanted to return north The Mem phlans valued his services highly, how ever. and although it was charged that he was "iockeying" with himself in his daily practice and in the exhibi- tion games, he performed fiashiiy enough to cause the officials to hold on to him.
 This bit of judgment proved to be the undoing, it was charged, of the entire team. Dissension appeared; the Stockdale scandal followed. several players were reported on the verge of jumping. and finally the officials con- cluded to take the advice of a veteran fan who had long ago seen the folly of trying to force a player to stay where n was naturally displeased with climate and environment. So. Fox was released, the team braced down, but the inside strife which the dissatisfied player was charged with starting did not disappear till late in the summer when other teams had forged ahead.
 This year. however, there is a jolly laugh that has proved as contagious as any old malady in hospital ward

and public and players seela bent on working together.
 There are five outfelders who have n1eased so far to such an extent that neither experts nor casual observers care to forecast the final three for reg ular work They are Coulson, for mer Ohio- -Pennsylvanian; Baerwald, of last years lineup; Guy Woodruff, of East Liverpool, Ohio; George Stinson leader of the Virginia league hitters and Otto Wagner fast legged recruit from the Three I league, who hits as hard and as often, they say, as any one of the quintet.
 The inield is probably settled with selection of the same four that fln ished in 1908. Carey at first, Grams ton at second, Lindsey at short and Babb at third, will be the lineup un- less all the smart set on hand at the rehearsals in private and at the exhi- bitions in public miss their guess.

Baseball At St. Bernard.

St. Bernard, March 30.-(Special. 1.-Two very interesting and snappy ball games were played today between the third and fourth teams of the St. Bernard college league, resulting in a victory for each side. Both games were won in the ninth inning. The feature of the first game was the fielding of the third team, the pitch ing of Phillips, who allowed only two hits and the one-handed catch of w. Macy of the fourth team The second game was also characterized by a num- Der of beautiful plays on both teams. Phillips was sent in for the second game and would have won but for an error, which allowed two men to score. The fielders of the third team made some verl difficult catches during this game which brought applause from the spectators. The score Of each game was to 4.

if anything be a benefit, as "Cys" work Of late has not been up to the standard and some such switch was looked for even before the Seymour-L tham affair.
 In the other position the New Workers are not quite so sanguine. The loss of Donln's batting will make quite a df- terence, as il is hardly likely that the new man will prove the rival of Wagner for National league batting honors t.tst Cap- tain Mike was last season.
 The makeup Of the other New YorK team, the Highlanders, is as yet problem atieal. Manager Stallings has thirty men to select from, with three more to come.
 Chase will, of course, play first base f f the Highlanders. Stallings has virtually decided to give Elberfeld the third-base job. It is probable that Austin will still give Elberfeld a run for the position. Stallings' other intielders are Jack Knight Earl Gardner, Neal Ball, Frank Laporte and Mike Donovan. In all the practice games so far Knight has played short stop for the Regulars, indicating tn It Stallings favors the young slx-footer for the position.
 Joe Ward had a bad arm and will not be able to play for two weeks. Mike Don ovan, the young New York player, has played at third, but his stick work has been weak. Gardner has been playing second base for the Regulars and his work has been good Ball has played short stop and second for the second team. Laporte is very much overweight. The outfied candidates are Willie Keeler Charley Hemphill Walter Cree, Harry McIlveen, Clyde Engle, and Roy McDer- mott.
