Jeff is his main charge at present
Tesreau is young and willing, and
Robbie is just as certain about his
future as he ever was about his left

should happen to MarQuard, there is
no denying that it would be a terrific
blow.
McGraw Seeking New Pitchers.
Dave Robertson. the big Ieft-hander
from the CarOlinas, has been unable TO
show anything on account of a sore
shoulder. He IS still very much of an
experiment. Ernest Shore, the other
southern cOlleSian, is extremely green
in every way.
None of McGraw's prospects out in
the country has done anything aston

has string On Louie Drucke, and the
work OF the Waco spendthrift in the
International league is being carefully

nothing exciting.

trouble, but just the same the leader

welcome pair of fresh reliable Twill

All along the western ledge the
critics are prOpheSying trouble for the
Giants of this tour. In Pittsburg
Barney Dreyfuss has placed himself on
record with OminOus demonstration
of woe for Jawn J. NcGraw and his
boys, but the Giant leader is not dis

trifle stale, but that is not regarded
as a serious aiIment; otherwise the

is very backward in his big league
development.
Tesreau now occupies much the po-
Sition occupied for several years by
RUDE Marquard, when McGraw and
Robinson were labOring with the
sOuthpaw. The manager and the coach
have seen enough in the young heav-

he will make a valuable pitcher for
