The jig is up and the 1919 season
for the New Workers is practically in.
The present Western trip will be more
of trial iunket than a pennant win
ming drive for the Fasteners. The
trumpet has sounded for the recruits,
and the Giant forces have been aug
mented by horde of rockies who have
been summering in the minors. 1t is
likely that several of these will get into
the lineup during the closing weeks.
Young Jiggs Statz got his first real
chance to display his ability to-day.
Statz is the promising kid from Holy
Cross College sent to McGraw by Jesse
Burkett along with Chick Bowen Bill

and Buffalo, is also with the club
Statz played in place of KauF in the
first game after the third inning, and
made a favorable impression.
The locals batted Jess Barnes hard in
the first period. and Manager McGraw
quickly saw that it was not going to be
a good day for the bridegroom. Dubuc,
the old reliable relief hurler. was
rushed in, and did good work until the
end. But the damage had been done,
and, with Vaughn in excellent form, the
visitors found themselves beaten al
most before they had started.

wound en- the hand as he tagged Flack,
but continued in the game.
The Giants took the offensive at the
start in the second contest and things
soon took on a different aspect. They
bombarded Speed Martin with wallops
and plenty of those. Artie Nehf was in
shape and had smooth sailing the en-
tire distance. In fact, Artie had an
easy time of it after the fourth, when
the Giants had the battle Won
