.Demaree is once more Giant. He was

New York manager. Infielder Peter Kill
duff will go to Chicago as part pay
ment for Demaree. The trade was first
preached while the Giants We're in Chi
cago several days ago.
The acquisition Of Demaree at this
stage Of the race indicates. on the part
of the Giant manager. great worry
over the right-handed pitching strength
of his staff. The southpaws-Schupp,
Benton and Sallee-have won more
than their share Of games. but the
right handers-Tesreau, Perritt and
Anderson-have been very unreliable.
Demaree was a member of the pen
nant winning Giants of 1913. He was
traded to Philadelphia just in time to
help Pat Moran win the pennant for
the Phillies in 1914. Last year Moran
traded Demaree for Jimmy Lavender
of the Cubs. After leaving the Giants
Demaree proved one Of the hardest
propositions New York had to face in
the league. With the Cubs this season.
