lew YORK. y. Y, Dec. 24.-Man-
ager John ]. McGraw may be
Il pretty well satisfied with the
1912 lineup of his champion Giants. but
evidently he has no intention Of stand
ing absolutely pat
It has leaked out that the little Ma
poleon has asked for waivers on sew
eraI of his veterans, among them Beals
Rocker, utility Outfielder. This an
nouncement came direct from most
reliable sources, and. moreover, went
so far as to name BeckerS destination
provided no rival National league club
cares to claim him.
Becker is to be disposed of to In
dianapOis, Of the American assOcia-
ton, so the story goes. In return
McGraw is to get pitcher and MS
pick Of that clubs talent before the
next drafting season.
The announcement that McGraW is
to pass up Becker bears no reflection
on the worth of this eccentric gar
dener. As substitute during the
past several seasons Beals has proved
of inestimable value to the Giants. But
he is a player who travels at his best
clip only after long periods Of bench
duty. So far as the Giants are con-
cerned, Becker must be reckOned more
or less as excess baggage
Has Capable Substitutes.
In Moose" Mccormick, NIcGraw has
an ideal pinch hitter. In George Burns
he has a colt that is just about ready
to step out and challenge for a res
Ular berth. Indeed. some Of NJ
Graw's closest friends predict that the
yOungster viii displace one Of the reg
uIar triO-SnOdgrass DevOre or Muir
ray-befcre the end Of 1913. With q
big league roster limit to 25 players
to be religiously enforced the coming
season, three extra Outfielders border
upon eXtraVa ganCe.
1t would not be surprising, however,
if. some rival of the Giants were to
come to Beclker's assistance and save
him for the big show. The Cincinnati
Reds have lost Mike Mitchell from the
outer defences and Beals might fit in
well with the Rhinelanders. Either
st. Louis or Boston could afford to
take chance with him
1t is no certainty that McGraw would
not recall the waiver rather than to
turn this speedy fellow over TO another
National league club. The tendency Of
modern baseball is to build up and
develop youngsters rather than to eX-
pertinent with discarded veterans AMI
it is remarkable how leary most lead
ers become Of players McGraW decided
to cast aside.
Cincinnati and PittsbUrg, too. are
both said TO have lines out for this
fast infielder- With three clubs bid
ding against one another McGrdw

James ShorteIL manager of the

stop the many jabs hurled his way for
various shortcomings. There were
complaints galore against James and
the sOlons warned him that another
sustained complaint and his license as
referee and also the license Of the club
would be revoked.
The commission announced that no
more benefit shows by private parties
will be allowed in any club unless the
management of the latter stands all
responsibility.
The Yonkers club entered a charge
against "One Round" Hogan for the
