Emil Won Filing, New York Uni

ordered his men to report for practice
every day this week Owing to the
inclement weather last week, Coach Won
Filing was forced to keep his men in
doors and this greatly impeded their
training. He will endeavor to make up
for the lost time during the coming
week in order to have his men ready
for the Penn relays, which are only
two weeks off.

tions on the Violet relay team and

Stinson, are working hard and are sure

Wurth, Gaebelein and Irwin have

Coach Won Filing is pleased with the
work of his men so far and expects
to turn out a crack team In the prac-
tice last week the Violet relay team
with little previous training covered
the mile in under 3 minutes and 45
seconds. Considering the early date,
this time is remarkable.

mus far the Giants have not gone
out of their way to win. They might
easily have taken the series from Cleve-
land by four games to two had Man
ager McGraw continued his regular
lineup against the Indians instead Of
making the final game a utility mans
parade for the benefit of Indians AS
it was, in sixty innings of baseball the
Amer rican and National leaguers divid-
ed whatever honors there were connect
ed with this preseason series.
The series was satisfying from the
Giants standpoint in that it was de-
monstrated that the Polo Grounders
have a powerful offensive this season.
They outhit Cleveland easily. At least
two of McGraw's men topped the cele-
brated Spoke" Speaker. who led the
Indians at bat. "Pep" Young hit for
400 average, making ten blows in
Captain Arthur Fletcher tickled the
Cleveland shooting for nine hits in
twenty-fcur tries, or an average of 375.
Speaker Best Hitter
Speaker made nine hits in twenty
five times at bat, which gives him n
average of 800. AS an evidence, how
ever, that Speaker is not exactly in
hitting decline it may be noted that six
of his nine safe blows were for dou-
bles, several of which drove Indian
runs over the plate. iris is not only
the most powerful hitter in the Ameri-
gray-headed youth of thirty winters
in it,
There has been some debate over
Speakers age, which has been desig-
mated as variously from thirty-tive to
sixty-hve years. None of the pitchers
IN the American Leaguc would venture
TO asseverate that Spoke" is sixty-tive
Not they, yet he is as gray as an ocean
mist. AS matter of fact, Speaker is
just thirty years Of age, and was in
his twenties until last April 4. He is
himself authority for this statement.
Jeff Tesreau and Jess Barnes con-
tributed the most impressive pitching
to the Giants cause in eight innings.
The Indians were able to reach Tes-
reau safely but twice, while Barnes
allowed only one hit. Barnes and Tes-
reau are ready to start the opening
game, and, for that matter, DR.. Freder-
ick Anderson is, too. No pitcher of the
Giants showed more than the dentist in
the final four frames he hurled against
the Indians at New Orleans.
He was unhittable then.
Thus in spite of the general back
wardness of McGraw's pitching staff,
especially the celebrated trio of wrong
handed fingers, Schupp, Benton and
Sallee, the Giants will not want for
pitcher who should give the Dodgers
all the trouble necessary.
Giant fans will find much that is in
teresting in the 1918 team. Ross
Young, the new lead-off man, is one of
the most promising kids that has hit
the big town circuit in years. He will
take long chances such as Saturday.
when he went from second to third
while Jack Graney held the ball, and
he also is human enough to err, for it
was he who lost the game at Lexington
by snoozing in second when O'Neill's
throw drifted to the outfield.
