cold Climate. That was one of our handicaps last spring, youtWill remems Der. The team left Marlin in first class trim, but after the pennant race started, rain, snow and. freezing tenn peratures slowed up nearly all of the players so that they had to begin, all over again.
 The 22 player limit, with no disabil- ity list, may prove another hardship. It will compel me to get along with fewer men than I carried last sum mer- It will be necessary to get down to rock bottom as soon as the Giants opening on April 20. If some of the regulars become injured there will be serious trouble because the new limit rule will prevent the retention of sec ond string men. Then it must be kept in mind that the Brooklyns will be just as strong as last year. The Phil lies and Braves, too, will prove danger ous competitors. The Cubs, Pirates and Reds also should be harder to beat than in 1916.
 ''One thing is encouraging, however. The Giants will forget all about fra ternity matters and so will the other teams. This means better playing and harder fighting for National league honors, so that if the Giants are able to make a winning campaign they will be all the more appreciated by the New York fans. I refuse to predict anything, but I feel sure of honest ef- forts on the part of my players. If the Giants measure up to form dis played by them late last season they will have to be reckoned with.
 Our pitchers were somewhat cratic at times last season and the team also suffered from weak hitting, which kept us out of the worlds series. We have several new pitchers who may prove valuable, and with Zimmerman and Herzog in the field, together with Me Carty behind the bat, our batting may be greatly improved. Put as I said before, the Giants must contend with the uncertainty of the game and also must overcome their handicaps before they can win the pennant. The season Is long and gruelling, while the other teams will not accept defeat without the hardest kind of battling"

 United States Steel again led the en- tire list at an extreme advance of 2 1-2 to 1o6 7-s, attaining it's best quotation in the last hour on steady accumulation of large individual lots. Other steel and iron shares were higher by 2 to 4 points.

 Just as John had raised the cup and made a sweeping bow to his hostess before drinking Jim Flynn whispered in his ear: 'Ioos. at the cup, John!" The Boy Orator looked and then oc- cured the only tragedy of the after noon. The cup was one of those gold lined affairs and it was too much for John.
