JOHN j. M'eRAW, MANAGER OF THE GIANTS,

Schmidt. Indeed, the recruit list looks
as if McGraw is looking for vaudeville
instead of a ball team. He has taken
on Jim Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian
and olympic champion, but it looks
as if he merely wants to let Thorpe
show the public he isn't a profess
sional.
Thorpe probably will stick along as
an attraction, but it will require a
long time to make hin a ball player,
if ever he becomes one. So far as
the figures reveal and the training re-
ports show, McGraW hasn't added
much strength except in De1naree. He
has a lot of reserve talent scattered
around at command, and Gardella,
Eues, Drucke, and some Others could
he held as endorsements if needed.
And miss it strongly if the pitch
ing staff does not yell for reinforce
ments before June l..
DETROIT.
Detroit affords a sad spectacle. 1t is
a broken, demoralized and iangling
team. The older players nave gotten
away from the control of Jennings,
and, on top of that, there is eriou
trouble with the management over
contracts and salaries.
Cobb, Crawford, Dubuc and some of
the others demanded more because of
their individual showing last year.,
which the management refused on ac-
count of the showing Of the team. The
Detroit public has turned against its
champions to a large extent, and a big
class is against Jennings.
Jennings has Cobb, Crawford and
Veach for the outfield, and Veach's
showing last fail stamped him as one
of the strongest and most promising
o%utfield recruits in the country. The
outfield will be all right and one of
the strongest hitting ever assembled
in baseball.
On the inficld Bush alone seems
cretain of a position. Stanage, one of
the great catchers, is still there and
improving, He is a really great man
now, Il corking, dangerous hitter, es-
p~ecially when hits are needed and q
catcher who has risen yea by year
to close to the front rank of American,
league catchers. KoEher nor Onslow
either looked even average but re-
mi no one on the Detroit team
locke very good or seemed to try
very hard last season.
The team is badly in need of a first
ba$eman. Gainor, who promised SO
well, is handicapped heavily by the
break Of his arm, which appeared to

George Moriarity played a fair first
for a time.
The study of the Tigers seems to re-
veal the fact that Jennings has sue
ceed"d in strengthening departments
that didn't particularly need any

been turned down by the big leagues
to go back and star in the minors. He
is a corking ball player besides being
a pitcher. He won 90 and lost IA
games last eason for a club that won
So and lost 100.
Hall, from Omaha, looks strong. He
is touted as the best pitcher from the
Western, and he won rs and lost nine
last season. Covington Of Providence
still is on the string. In fact, Jennings
has a bunch there to call upon. There
are wonderful reports concerning
High, he speedy outfielder from
Hartford, who hit 1927 last season.
Perry, the outfielder from Providence,
is reputed a very good player, but a
weak hitter, wen in the double A
class.
Jennings has. a swarm of youngsters
and may develop a team, but it looks
as if he will have to find three in
feeders and at least one risht-handed
and n left-handed pitcher to have a
first division chance, even with the
internal conditions in his club normal.
It's a tough job, and the holding u
Of the stars has not helped the team
feeling.

OPPONENTS O. NEW LAW ARE
CONSIDERING A3V!sABlLlTY
OF REFERENDUM.
OPPOSITION IS ACTIVE
Law Does Not Become Operative for
Thirty Days-Petitioners Have a
chance to Make Bill imperative
Until Vote Is Taken.

Helena, March 15.-tSpecial. )-Oppo-
nents of the Kiley boxing bill have not
decided yet whether they will try to
invoke the referendum on the measure
or not. Rev. N. H. rBurdick of the
FIRST Presbyterian church is UNDER
stood to be chairman of an opposition
to the measure that was organized at
a private meeting several nights ago.
and he said today that the future
course regarding the bin would not be
decided upon for a day or two.
Though the bill is now a Jaw. the
action of Governor Stewart in pro-
viding that the appointments of the
commissioners shall not become effec-
tive for 80 days will make the meas
ure imperative in the interval, which
was expressly provided so the opposi-
ton can be free to invoke the referen-
DUN if it 81 desires before the meas
ure is operative.
The referendum, it is provided, may
be ordered by petition signed by five
per cent of the legal voters of the
state, provided, however, that the
whole number of counties must each
furnish as signers five per cent of the
legal voters in such county.
A law which has been referred %
the people becomes imperative until
it has been voted upon if the petition
referring it is signed by Is per cent Of
he legal voters of a majority of the
whole number of counties in the state.
The whole number of votes east for
governor at the last election is the
basis to be used in computing the
number of legal voters in each county.

FIRST SHOOT OF YEAR
TO Be HELD THIS DAY

Thu Missoula Gun club will hold
the first shoot of the season at the
south side traps his morning. Carl
Elton is the moving spirit behind the
spring opening. He has been busy
for the last couple of days with plans
for the event today and suggests that
all who want to enjoy the opening
session bring guns and ammunition
with them. The shoot will begin at
10 O'Clock in the morning so that all
may be through in time for the noon
meal. There will BE- no prizes at
stake this morning. The object of
this shoot will be to try out the traps
and see that everything is in working
order.

man. He is in for unlnerciful pan
ming for mu!fing that fly ball, and he
hasn't the courage to stand it. The
outfield is extremely unsatisfactory in
its present shape, and McGraw is com
PEELED to keep changing men to meet
emergencies and to switch Devore and
Murray back and forth to cover the
sun feds. That sort of an arrange
ment Weakens even a good outfielder,
and neither Murray nor Devore is up
to the pennant standard of a major
league.
The catching department is strong
enough. Meyers is slow, and not a
heady nor a fast backstop, but covers
the faults with his tremendous hitting
power. Wilson is a corking second
catcher, INT a man who, with any
other~club, would be a star.
i t =
The problem of course is pitching.
With Marquard no longer the chief
factor, McGraW is sorely in need of II
left-handed pitcher. 1t is doubtful if
the Rube will help the team to any
extent. MatheWson will never be as
great as in the past, yet gone back
as he has he is close to Il s. per cent
winning pitcher at all times in regu-
lar games, n better in helping out.
He cannot pitch as many games as
formerly, but isn't out of it yet.
The big Improvement in the corps
should be Tesreau. This giant is a
coming wonder He was great last
yea but his work was unfinished n
he was wild. His great speed, at
tanned without much effort, is next to
unhitable, and | believe he will be bet
ter when he slows up a bit. He is
Matty's logical successor, and | be-
lieve the great fading star will train
him for the succession. Crandall,
Ames, and Wiltse are only helpers
out, nor would it surprise me to see
McGraW make a regular player out of
Crandall because of his ability to hit.

The Giants are, with n exception,
the weakest fielding II most uncer-
tain defensive club in the league,
strong in a few spots, yet weak at
others, depending upon speed to cover
up their fielding weakness. An ex-
animation of their winning last sea-
son shows that nerve and luck had
more to do with it thar real ability,
vet they played the strongest attack
ing game, led the league in run get
ting, and in hitting and base running.
The fact that they won was due to the
sensational pitching spurts Of Mar
guard and Tesreau.
Those who count on the winter eX-
p]erience of Marquard hurting the club,
ought to figure than in II of the 10
straight games that he Won-a Il of
victories that cinched the pennant for
his club-any ordinary pitcher would
have Won easily. With Tesreau the
case is different. as he had many hard
games, ana while wild and erratic at
times, be seems the kind of pitcher
who 'j..roves with experience and
who wins because he is a great pitcher
rather thar a fortunate one.
The Giants need a strong shortstop
to round out the infield, and despite
the praise thrust upon them, neither
Shafer nor Fletcher fills the bill in

to show Improvement this year. He
went all to pieces with an attack of
nerves during the worlds series last

ing desperately until he found himself

New York practically has the same
strength it did last year, and the fact
that Pittsburgh figures ahead of the
Giants is due to the increased strength
of the Pirates, not to any slump by
the champions. ! am aware that many
dopesters calculate the loss of Mar
guards ability as n heavy bow, but
it is not, in my opinion, as heavy as
they figure. l deducted only IA points
for his total loss, and much of that
will be regained by Tesreau's in
creased ability.
The study of the Giants shows they
have the best attacking team in the
circuit. that the fielding ought to be
a shade better than it was last sea-
son, although below that of Pitts
burgh, and that the pitching cannot
be so successful, due in part to the
deterioration of the older pitchers
more than to the loss Of Marquard,
and also due in part to the improved
attacking strength Of three Of the
opposing clubs.

Two problems are presented this

Jennings patch together Il team II of

l have studied both clubs inside II
upside down. The best that the figures
will admit for New York is n fighting
chance to repeat. based on nerve and
speed, rather thar ability. To me,
Detroit looks hopeless, a team that
will stay above the final hole, not on
team worth but on the individual
ability of the few remaining compe-
tents on the club.
New York, on the basis of COMPARE
son, figures only nine points below
what II did last spring at this time, q
falling off which will not be made up
entirely by Marquard's return, and
three points Of which may be regained
if one young pitcher does as well as /
expect him to do.

THE THINGS MOST IN NEED.

The ideal cellar should be a. light
and dry and clean as any room In the
house. It should have windows on op-
posite sides. easily accessible and
easily, opened. Air at night in sum.

his sense of smell would soon convince

Of no mean abilities.
Indeed, a German inventor has
proved that one-half the cellar air Is
found in the nrst story, one-third in
the second, one-ffth in the third. and
so on, which impells us to think OF
the cellar as q reservoir OF air for the
entire house. A good coat Of lime
whitewash should be applied every
spring. No decaying vegetables or
rubbish Of any kind should be stored
there. The cellar bottom and sides
should be preferably Of concrete.
Where coal is stored. it should be light
and dry, as the decompositionSo OF the
sulphides in the coal goes on much
more rapidly in q damp atmosphere.
Sulphides cause silver to tarnfsh.
The cold-air box of furnace should be-

be as pure as possible, and It should
be so constructed that through NO
cracks or crevices could the cellar air
be admitted to the heating chamber OF
the furnace.
