GIANTS OFF FOR
THE TEXAS CAMP
With HIGH HOPES
Fans of New York See
Nothing to the National
League Race but John Nc
Graw's Crew.

New York, Feb. 23.-Rcgarded as
better fortified than ever before in his
baseball history, John McGraw, manag
err Of the Giants. boarded a train here
today and started to Marlin, Tex, with
q gang of rockies and a few vets. They
will begin training Immediately.
New York is all worked up over the
chances of the Giants. A brand new
4nfield, with the exception of Arthur
FLETCHER will be drilled together In the
Texas climate. New pitchers will be on
tap and a new catcher, Lew McCarty
probably will bear the brunt of catch
ing.
The possibilities of such ba scball
)club are cumming up the mathematical
brains OF all the dopesters in New
York. In the first place, history takes
an awful. wallop at the team when it
points out that the Giants, last sum
mer, won II ball games in row and
then tried to make a worlds record for
losing them.
Then along came fall and the Giants,
with some young blood popping things
up, whacked off list of IS straight,
thereby establishing a major league re-
cord for consecutive games won. They
blowing to the Brooklyn club and being
charged by John McGraw with kicking
one.
It's tn, same team that finished the
season last fall that will take the field
this spring. Stellar performers and
very little of the veteran class, are in
bcluded in it's makeup. McGraw has the
most remarkable young pitcher in the
business in young Ferde Schupp and
Pie has remarkable young catcher ir
