SIt is an axiom in baseball that the
remnant winner OF one season must
play harder the next year for the
simple reason that every club pays
special attention to beating the cham
picn. Each of the other seven clubs
plans it's pitching campaign, saves its
best pitchers and attacks the strong
est club for the simple reason that
IL the strong can be overthrown the
weak have fighting chance. 1t will
be that, plus 10 per cent interest, this
season.
The Giants really outclass their
league, with the possible exception of
Cincinnati, which is better club if
it can hold its strength against the
draft.
HERZOG'S LOSS HURTS
The loss of Herzog helps and hurts
the Giants. Undoubtedly the best move
was to trade Herzog after the insur-
Tection last fall which proved beyond
doubt that the fiery second baseman
cannot play ball under McGraw in
peace. This is the third time they
have clashed and each time because
Herzog objects to the McGraw system
of playing ball and because McGraw
insists on obedience from all. There
was nothing to do but lose Herzog-
but at the same time losing Herzog
took one of the brainiest and best
players from the Giants, reduced their
amount of aggressiveness and weak
ened the team.
The second base problem is going
to worry McGraw. He has brought
back Larry Doyle, who has slowed
up very much. His damaged leg ought
IT, be stronger and he may serve well
during part of the season. He has the
brains and can hit and McGraw has
capable youngsters to understudy him.
He Numbered in selling Pete kilduff.
and perhaps in letting Jimmy Smith
go to Boston
The Giants are less hurt by war
demands than almost any club, losing
only two sub infielders and recruit
pitcher. The team is not liable to
ceive any great shock in the draft this
summer. although Davey Robertson
may go.
YOUNG A STAR
There is point: If Robertson can
go, it makes an automatic opening for
Young. one of the most promising
players to come into the majors in
years. 1t was freely predicted that
Young would win a regular job in
the outfield even IL Robertson re-
MANNED and that he might even dis
place Benny Kauff.
/ The outfield will remain in rank
close to the top of the league in speed.
defensive and hitting power in any
event Benny Kauff, with the or
1argement of the Uranium considerably
reduced by the late worlds series,
ought to be a better ball player than
! he has shown in the National.
The infield is good enough to re-
peat, and it's driving power ought 10

ALABAMA IS HARD
At WORK FOR GAME
TuscalOOsians Will Show the
BarOns Good Time-"A"
Day Celebration

University, March 25.-(Speeial, THE
University of Alabama's baseball team is
practicing hard TO get into the best pos
Barons, who will come down to the uni
versity campus Saturday for a practice
game. The Alabama team was able TO
score on the Cincinnati Reds in Mont
gomery Saturday before last, and good
game will probably be given the Barons.
Alabama has a reputation of always
soaring the Barons to death in their reg
ular annual practice game, and this time
every effort will be made to make the
scare good.
The whole team is going good now, for
Pitcher Ross a member of last year $
squad, is in good condition and is show
ing the real stuff every time that he has
been called on. Christovitz the recruit
from Springhill, has been troubled some
what with sore arm, but that is rap
idly getting into shape and he will be
ready for work by Saturday. He will
probably get the call TO go against the
Barons, but Ross may be selected in his
place.
GOOD OUTFIELD
The rest of the team seems to be de-
cided on, unless something very much
unexpected happens. Capt. Daniel Boone,
Pratt and Brown make up as hard hit
ting outfield as can be found on
college team in the south. Willis on first,
Sewell on second Brown on short and
Stevenson on third form an infield that
has seldom seen a superior in the south
Lena Styles removes all fear as to the
receiving end of the game and with
plenty of good pitchers thrown in. the
prospects at the university are made to
look mighty good There are still some
rough places, but under the guidance of
Coach Noogin they are being worn away
and by Saturday it will be a high class
team in every way that will be ready to
start against the Barons and Motley had
better prepare for trouble.
CELEBRATION
"A" day has been set for April 49, and
big celebration will be pulled off. For
one thing, there will be ball game with
Louisiana State university and besides
that numerous other athletic events A
track meet will be held to which teams
will be sent by the birmingham Athletic
club and Young Mems Christian associa-
ton and mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical college. The boxing and
wrestling champions of the university
will be selected. Another track meet
will be held in week or two to de-
termine the university championships.
The records at the university have not
been kept in very good order. and many
OF them have been lost. SO the athletic
authorities have decided to have a gem
eral overhauling and set an entirely new
bunch at the meet. Henry Beatty is
track and field champion of the univer-
sity and his records will all go as regular
school records.

see no sign that the weaknesses OF
the team, as revealed by the White Sox
attack, furnish the other National
league clubs any hope such as they
might have If they possessed the
strength of the sox.
There never has been series that
so clearly showed the vital spots ar
which a championship team may oe
attacked. The White Sox analysed the
Giant attack and defense almost per-
fectly after they had sized them up.
But at the same time their we'll
MANNED attack revealed how cleveriy
McGraw has covered the weaknesses
of, his club. For instance, the White
Sox~ decided that fast curve pitching
would be best it was, but Wnfle II
stopped some of the Giants it was
playing into the hands of others. Some
teams argue that fast ieIt-handea
pitching will set down the Giants. 1t
will part of them, but it plays. for
instance. into the strength of thinner
man and Burns.
CATCHER'S AVERAGE
The team is not strong in catch
ing and McGraw has not, SO far as
the Inquire SHOW, GU " poASe~A
up this section of his club. / do not
mean that the catching is weak, but
a real championship club ought to
have catchers far over the average
and the Giant catchers are very lit
tie above the average of their league,
if they are any. They are good enough,
however, considering the strength OF
the rest of the team
If the Giants fail this season the
r. Il
partment. There was a lot of hope for
some of the challengers that The
Giants pitching staff would be fatal
ly weak this season but the acquisi-
ton OF Barnes from Boston covered
that up. 1t was a sad blow to the
hopes of the Cubs and Reds when
McGraw got Barnes and a source of
joy to the Cards when the Giants got
this fellow. For why? Because ST.
Louis seems to have the system OF
beating Barnes. They trimmed him six
times last season out of six starts. and
turned his winning percentage into
loser, Barnes really is corking pitch
er. although his showing with Boston
last season was not strong. With a
team like the Giants back of him he
ought to work 80 games and win al
most 20 of them.
PLAYERS SATISFIED
The Giants are not much worried
about salary cutting. They have had
little trouble with their PLAYERS
especially with Schupp and Robertson,
but these cases do not appear at all
serious. Schupp feels that he ought
10 have more money and, under ordi-
nary circumstances. probably would
Rave received It, lie seems to forget
the years he sat on the bench and
drew salary. Robertson, it seems to
me, has little kick coming. especially
as McGraw thinks Davey ought to
have saved the worlds series last fall
when Gandifs hit dropped for two
bases. -
Altogether. the Giants can rest cas-
ny exert themselves little more and
Ieel comfortable unless luck breaks
against them all the way. Zimmerman
OF course, is in for a terrific riding
az around the circuit because of his
Much advertised break last fall and
IT may hurt his work at times. But
then they have been riding Jimmy

NO DEFINITE WORD YET
AS TO VIRGINIA LEAGUE

Yesterday uid Not Mn
lcrlnIIrC.

Richmond and Virginia fans, who
have conSolcd ono another Tor the past
month and who have hoped aeains,
hope that definite action would be
taken by the officials OF the Virginia
League. were once moro cnvclopcd IN "a
cloud of gloom last night. These ar
hrst meeting OF the year in Norfolk
como to a close without a step taken
toward the formation OF the circuit.
They had seen the many speeches of
tho club owners come to naughl three
weeks ago In Petersburg. They have
not heard OF Il definite fact concerning
tho situation except that the circuit
would be composed OF either four clubs
Jr six clubs.
The fatal message camc over the

cans that their baseball would be put
off again indefinitely.

The failure OF the owners again TO
