Prospects.


baseball campaign, not a few of the
lions are depending for foundations on
s2me talent introduced only last year.
Although Johnny McGraw has been
saying nice things about the Reds Ie.
Gently, still he knows that the Pirates
are the men that need to be watC he'd
| the more carefully. 1t is a maxim
with the Little Napoleon that no team
can win a pennant in the National
League unless it has been strong
enough to finish either first of second
the year before. Such being the case,
the next gonfaion will be the prize OF
either the Giants Of Pirates. And it
is just here <ehat few OF the young
sters will play their parts.
| First OF all, the is Claude Hendrix,
the recruit who blossomed out in 1911
and led the National League tW;rlers
company. Turning in a card of TWEEN
ty-four victories and nine, defeats is
no small feat. When right, he Is one
of the most formidable propositions
IN the National League, and If Pitts
burg wins the flag 1t will be largely
through his efforts. He is a young
man who has listened carefully to the
counsel of such experienced veterans
of the diamond as Hans Wagner and
Mike Dolin. He absorbed considerable
Information last season on the likes
and dislikes of the batters OF the
lcague, and he ought to be better than
ever next year. )
Sur, ut.assL NI-:.I.
Then there is the high-prieed Marty
g Toole, who tried to live up to his
reputation, but found the task too diff
ficuA Lack of control was bis great
est fault. There are few who viii
deny that he has the stun, and more
likely than not he will deliver large
quantity of this merchandise. Given
time, and he will be transcribed from
q lemon into beauty like the much
celebrated Marquard. Besides, there
are Carey. the outfielder, and Butler,
the infielder, who will speed up the
cogs of thetold machine 49,
In New York great things are ex-
Iected OF JEFF Tesreau.e Only the sore:
iced of pitchers brought him forward
last year, as McGraw's System re-
Of Tres that a man see service on the
bench and imbibe a"mosnhere before
he appears on the diamond. Jeff's ex-z
rerience with the ways Of big leagues
was slight before he took up the bur-
6en Of pitching championship ball last
summer. 1
After the baptlsm of fire In the
worlds series he ought to be capable
of wonderful work in the near future.
Just such a twirler is needed, as the
temperamental Marquard is more or
less of an uncertainty. while Matty re-
CURES considerable hitting and fiela-
ing strength behind. him to pull
through victories. Give him barri-
cade of runs to work behind and he is
en- invincibfe as ever. but he seldom
cares to waste his strength in staVing
Of runs in tight game.
Orch May Make It.
The peppery ntt-e infielder, Groh,
may earn a berth if Arthur Shafer
fails to answer to the call next spring.
while Burns is regarded as almost GER
tain of a place in the outfield. Besides
these is Robinson, who came to the |
club as a pitcher, but who will be de- |
Ye loped into first-class outtielder, ac- !
Ccrding to Wilbert Robinson. He has |
nsiderable latent hitting ability. Nc |
Claw has stated that there will be no |
changes in the team. There won't be |
il the Giants start we'll. But is they |
don't the ak is going 10 fall on several |
proud heads. Snodgra!s. Devore and
Fletcher are not SO good that they |
couldn't be improved upon.
There are a number of other teams
that need new fiery LloOd to |
hell them along. Doolin Of the Phil
