GIANTS OFF FOR
THE SUNNY SOUTH
McGraw Himself Pulls the
Lever Which Starts His
Team for Marlin.

John J. NcGraw. manager OF the New
York Giants, started his team in quest
OF another pennant yesterday after
noon. Seated in the CAB of the cleo
trical engine Of the Westerner, one OF
the fast trains Of the New York Cen
trial lines. McGrsv turned the lever
spplving the power, and the train slid
ont Of the Grand Central Station carry
ing a detachment Of players on the long
iaunt to the training camp at Marin
Springs. N,;
The men will arrive in Marlin on
Sunday afternoon at o'clock. II good
wishes count for anything the Giants
will win the pennant beyond all ques-
tom. for some four hundred fans were
on hand to see the squad on and 10
wish the men good luck. Some fans
we're doubtful. for just thirteen men
were in the detachment which started
South.
Prominent in the band was Rube
Narouard, who returned to the fold on
Wednesday. The angular southpaw
browsed around in the background, ana
was not the most willing talker IN the
world. He did admit that he was glad
70 be back with the team, and said that
he had made a mistake in talking busl-
ness with the Feds. However, Rube
nromised to work his hardest for the
Giants. and it may be said IN passing
that his little spell Of unpopularlty VIII
come to an abrupt ending II he can
only win a few games in row:
Christy MathewsOn. Larry Mclean
Jim Thorpe, Sandy Piez and Arthur
Deylin were known to the fans, ana
they came in for their share OF good
wishes. 80, IL.
The fame Of Jim Thorpe still lives
il would seem, for he was the centre
Of attraction. Devln took the trip
hoping against hope that he ma:
squeeze his way into some sort o!
lob. if not as a player, then as one OF
the coaches. George Burns, the out
fielder. will Join the party at Utica.
Another player 10 make the trip was
pube Chalmers, onetime star Of the
Phillies, who has been out Of the game
nursing a sore arm. If Chalmers can
make GOOD at Marlin he may wear the
uniform OF the Giants this summer.
Prominent among the recruits was
Iouis Wendell, q boy from The Bronx.
Wendell is a catcher and good one
lie il A fair sort Of batter, and while
he may be turned back it is more than

Baseball War Means Ruin
for Minor League Clubs

funeral OF Judge Kavanaugh, late
president OF the Southern League,
Nike Sexton, president Of the National
Association OF Minor Leagues, to-day
sounded the first real note for peace
that has come from organized base
ball since the Federals began 20 wage
war against them.
{ According TO Mr.. Sexton. the policy
OF waiting for the independents to fall

an end 20 the ruinOus warfare that is
As president OF all the minor
leagues Mr. Sexton is in close touch
with the conditions that prevail among
the little fellows throughout the coun-
try, aud he practically admitted that
the minor leagues, which have been
the real heavy sufferers in the base
ball war, are tired OF playing the part
Of the buffer and want peace, and want
IL quickly.
He did not intimate that there was
in his mind any idea that the minor
leagues would revolt. but he made il
clear that something ought TO be done
for them.
This baseball war with the Federal
League Is killing the game and doing
terrible damage 10 the minor league
clubs throughout the country" de-
clared Mr.. Sexton. There is no
longer any use OF believing that the
Federals arc going 10 sink OF their own
weight. as has 20 frequently been said
OF them. They seem willing 20 spend
their money. and they have not shown
any indications. so far as / can see,
that they are going 10 quit
Il think II 10 time that organized
baseball considered peace with the
Feds. They have got to get together.
