Marlin, Texas, March l4.-The
greatest amount of temperament ever
collected in ball clnb--that's the
New York Giants.
What will it mean to the Giants?
Temperament can mean two things
to a ball club-a great winning ma
chine or an erratic combination.
Whit will it mean the the Giants?
Listen-As I write this the New
York Giants look like the best ball
cluD of the type since the old Cubs
it is the same type of ball club and
the answer, which will be read along
in the summer, will tell the story.
If the New York Giants can keep
the same spirit they have now they
are unbeatable. II they become indif.
ferent, a much poorer club can beat
them.
But the present spirit of the, Gil
ants in itself is unbeatable.
The men individually believe they
are going to play in a world series.
After talking to a few of them you
can't help catching this enthusiasm
it is contagious; it is the enthusiasm
that is death to opposition.
If Manager McGraw and Lew Nc.

held the same amount Of work would
be done because. the men are now
right on their toes-they have to be
dragged off the diamond.
When the rookkies came to camp
late in February, more than half the
regulars showed up with them, some.
thing almost unheard of-why?
Because those men-Jack Murray,
Jeff Tesreau, Benny Kauff, RUDE Ben
ton, Mccarthy, Schupp and Way,
knew they would be better for the ex.
ira week in camp and wanted that ex-
ira work.
That is one thing temperament is
doing for the Giants. Temperament
may turn right around and do some
thing else in July-but at this stage
of the game it doesn't seem possible.
And when l speak of temperament
| want to cite a few names: o..
Heinie Zimmerman, the person Of
the neckties and lurid sox; Benny
kauff, the alleged Ty Cobb of the

GREEK KING, eRoTHER.lM-LAW OF KAISER, QUITS IN FAVOR
 OF HIS SECOND SON.
PROCEEDS TO SWITZERLAND
Party Will Go There By the Way oi ltaly-Crown Prince Also Goes Premier Zaimis Makes An
 nouncement Of Departure.

Athens.-King Constantine l. cf Greece, brother-in-law of the kaiser, has abdieated in favor of his second son, Prince Alexander The latter is g years old.
 King Constantine has expressed the intention of embarking on a British warship and proceeding to Switzer- land by way of Italy.
 Allied troops have occupied Eias- soma without resistance.
 There has been no disorder ill Athens up to the present.
 SThe demand for adbidcation of King Constantine is said to have been made by representatives of the en- tente allies.
 The crown prince will leave with his father reports declare. The crown prince was Prince George, who was born July 19, 1890
 Premier Zaimfs made the announce ment that Constantine had designated Prince Alexander as his successor. He said also that Constantine and Crown Prince Prince George would leave the country.
 Details of the circumstances lead ing up to Constantine's abdication are still lacking. Cable dispatches from London and Paris indicate, however, that the immediate cause was the demand of the entente powers for the control of the harvest of Thessaly, one of the kingdoms most fertile terri tories.
 England, France and Russia are the protecting powers of Greece. It has been long an open secret that the chief reason for the failure of the French and British governments to apply to Greece the "sterner policy" yocifer- ously demanded in the preliminaries was the opposition of the Russian government. King Constantine and ex-Czar Nicholas were devoted friends. Dispatches have not made it clear precisely how the new Rus sian government stands with regard to Greece. It is likely that in view Of the muddled internal situation it has had neither occasion nor influence to take any stand, and that France and England have taken matters into their own hands.
 Out of the maze of contradictory, heavily censored dispatches that have reached the United States from Atn- ems, Saloniki, London and Paris with regard to the Greek situation, these facts seem plain: The allies need the Tessalian haryests, and need them urgently, to feed the expeditionarv army in Macedonia. Provisioning of this army, estimated at not less than S00,00O men strong. has become ex- tremely difficult because of the U-boat campaign in the Mediterranean and Aegean But there is another aspect to the latest entente demand, mill. tary one.
 The Thessalian harvest would place the allies in virtual occupation of a territory through which the Greek army would have to march to join the Teuton-Bulgarian forces.
