M'GRAW OFF TO SPEND
VACATION IN TROPICS

New York, Jan. 16.-Manager John
J. McGraw of the Giants left yester-
day for Havana. where he will spend
months vacation before going to
the New York clubs spring training
camp at arlin. McGraw Is we'll salts
fled over the acquisition of Jesse
Barnes and Larry Doyle, and now be-
lieves that the Giants are in excellent
shape for another hard pennant cam
paign.
With his great trio Of left-handers-
Schupp, Sallee and Benton-McGraw
will also keep Perritt, Anderson, Dem
aree and Smith. These, with Barnes,
should again match up with the best
in the league, he thinks.
Il realize" said McGraw yesterday,
that the Cubs pitching staff has been
greatly strengthened, and we will
have to show some high-class pitching
to match it. The Pittsburgh club
looks lot better as result of their
recent deals, and their added batting
strength, together with the fine pitch
ing they had last Year, will make a
big difference in their playing"
