WORD

M~ WO million dollars is not
W a small sum to secure,
even IN a prosperous
county like Umatilla. To reach
the county's quota will require
sacrifice. 1t makes it necessary
that those who are able to buy
shall buy. The quota cannot
be all secured from people of
small means or from renters or
business men with heavy obli-
cations already upon their
shoulders. 1t is necessary that

pie is such there will be little

who fail to meet their duty. A

DOYLE WILL TRY TO
Do COMEBACK
Playing Ability of Veteran Means
Much to Giants Next Season.
BY JACK VEIOCK,

NEW YORK, March Can Larry
Doyle come back?
Can the veteran prodigal of the
Giants hold down the second-basing
job as well as Charley Herzog did?
Giant fans are deeply interested in
Doyle this spring, for much depends
on his ability to round out the infield
combination that was broken up when
Herzog was traded to the Boston
Braves.
McGraw is banking strongly on
Doyle, for Doyle must come through
if New York is to have an expert
enced inield. Mac has several re-
cruits who might be played at second,
yet the team needs a seasoned second
baseman. The answer is up to Doyle.
McGraw proved it by selling Jimmy
Smith to Boston.
In the summer of 1916 Larry broke
his leg sliding into base. That was
shortly after he was traded to the
Cubs in the deal that brought Hun
ter, jacobson and Zimmerman into
the Giant fold, and Larry was through
for the rest of the season.
Last spring, though, the broken
leg had mended, Doyle was not foot
sure. He favored the weak leg, and
as a result his fielding and hitting
were both affected. He did not go
after hard-hitting grass-cutters that
he used to stop, and at the bat he lost
effectiveness because he was inclined
to keep weight off the injured leg.
But more than a year has passed
since the leg was broken and Larry
feels sure of himself again. He says
his underpinning is just as good as
ever, and he is working hard to get
into his old-time form.
The fact that Doyle hit better than
ESQ while nursing an injured leg is
big point in favor of his chance Of
coming back strong with the bat, and
his fielding should improve, too. This
attempt to stage a comeback will be
watched closely by Giant supporters
as well as rivals Of McGraw's team.
