WILL FILL A BIG HOLE
Experts Agree McGraw Plugs Big
gest Gap in Lineup In secur-

From Phils.

TUnited Press Leased Wire service.I
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-John' ]. Nc
Graw Of the Giants has opened MS
campaign to bolster up his crew for
the 1915 flag chase What was con-
sidered by experts the biggest hole
in his lineup is to be plugged by
Hans Iobert, the smuggling third base
man Of the Phillies.
Final arrangements In the deal
whereby AL Demaree, pitcher. Milton
stock, third baseman, and JACK
Adams. a young catcher. so to the
Phillies in exchange for Lobert were
made today. There is also an amount
Of cash involved in the deal.
The Lobert deal has been hanging
fire for some time and did not come
as a great surprise to the baseball
world, although it was not expected
that Demaree would figure in it. The
DOOR showing Of the tall hurler last
year is responsible for his being dis
posea of. Stock and Adams are both
considered good baseball material but
McGraw evidently figured he needed
experienced heads to put the Giants
in the next pennant fight.
II didn't want to let Demaree CO.
said Manager McGraw today, In dis
cussing the deal, 'but the Phlladei-
phia management wanted him and
rather than block the deal, consent
ed. / figure that Arthur Fromme will
win more games for me next season
than would Demaree had he been re-
tanned. Any time the Phillies pitch
Demaree I am perfectly willing to
pit Fromme against him"
McGraw is expecting Lobert to do
much for the Giants next season.
Since the desertion Of Tillie Shafer
the Little Napoleon" has been hard
put for third sacker and many
games last year drtbbled away
through that opening.
