which will be considered nothing can

While the State Department char.

an informal one, the sentiment has

the First boys was OF the most efficient
kind as they held down their opponents
to a total of three baskets.
Y. Stearns easily starred for the
Firsts. making u Of the 16 points.
Points were scored by the Firsts as fol-

John McGraw retained the bulk OF his
1913 stars. He strengthened the team
in its weak spots. Yet the 1915 Giants
were the jokes OF the league.
What is the logical answer for the
Giants's slump? Didn't the players ex-
ert themselves? Didn't they try to play
baseball? Or is the real answer the
fact that the other teams in the Tener
circuit were so strengthened that they
were superior to the McGraw sQuadZ
If Reds Get Pitchers-BeTEare.
IF Charlie Herzog gets a couple Of
good pitchers during the winter, his
misfit Reds will bear watching in 1915.
Herzog's crowd outfieided every other
team in the National league in 1915.
Their hitting was nothing to get ex-
cited about, but, just the same, it was
hard enough and consistent enough to
have won many ordinary battles if the
pitching had been just a bit better.
The Reds have a wonderful pitcher in
Toney, good pitcher in Dale and a
fair pitcher in Lear But that's about
as far as they go in real pitchers. Her
