UNTIL NEXT YEAR

After Successful Barn
storming Trip.
by FREDERICK G.. LIEB.

~ We
The Giants of 1919 yesterday demobr-
lied for the winter. They are the last
big league ball club to dispense TO their
homes. Most of Eddie Brannick's barn
stormers called at the clubs down town
otnces yesterday, where they received
| their worlds series checks and their
share of the transforming money.
While the New York players did not
get anSthing like the checks of the Reds
which ran close to $4,000. their fall cam
patgn proved quite profitable Between
their share of the second place money
I ana their divvy out of the barnstorm-
ing trip. the New York regulars cleaned
up around $4,000 apiece
kauff, Barnes Young and Fletcher
looked in on John B. Foster, the clubs
secretary. Kauff and Barnes brought
the news that they had gone into the
tire business.
Young dropped in to say good-by be-
fore taxing train for San Antonio,
where he plans to spend the winter.
Fletcher will leave for howe in Illinois
to-day and Jean Dubuc already is bound
for Canada.
George Smith Beats EN-.
On their transforming trip the Giants
won twelve out of fourteen games played.
And in one of their defeats, suffered in
Montreal. Benton and McCarty were the
battery for the All-Stars, the opposing
team In order to equalize the strength
OF the teams the Giants furnished the
Montreal All-Stars with a battery, while
the Giants played with a Canadian
pitcher and catcher Benton beat the
Giants single handed in this game, as
he not only pitched a fine game, but
drove in the winning run for his side.
In their other defeat, suffered at Wind
sor, VT, the Giants were defeated by n
score of to ] by George Smith, the
former New York pitcher. who finished
the season with the Phillies. Smith had
pretty near big league infield behind
him, as Stuffy McInnis played first base
for Windsor, Davy Shean, second base,
and Frank Gilhooley, the former Nank
outhelder, third base McInnis's hitting
won the game for Windsor. Benton suf-
fered the defeat.
The Giants took along their regular
team, as they had Frisch Fletcher, Doyle
and Chase for an outfield and Burns, Kaufr
and Young in the outheld. Catchers Nc
Carly and Snyder and Pitchers Benton,
Barnes and Dubuc rounded out the team.
Eddie Brannick. assistant secretary of
the giants, ran the party, and Billy Klein
dished out OF worlds series for the
first time in years, went along as umpire.

out of the worlds series While the
series was being played Bill announced
the scores of the games by innings as
fast as they came in. He also announced
the names of the Giant stars to the
rural fans when the New York athletes
appeared at the plate.
With the return of McGraw from
Cuba news of sensational nature may
soon come out OF the Giant camp. Nc

New York Club yet has had he has one
OF basebalrs greatest outfelds and
high class catching corps. All he needs
now is to bolster up his infeld and that
will be done before the winter is far
advanced
There is only one Giant infelder sure
Of his job for next season, and that is
the rookie Frank Frisch, the Fordham
lad. He showed McGraw enough during
the latter part of last season to CON
vince the New York manager that he is
one of the coming infield stars of the
game.
Several of the inield regulars who
collected their checks yesterday may
have received their last money as New
York players. Sentiment never affects
McGraw when he sees n chance to swing
an advantageous deal He figures that
the breakdown of his veteran infield did
more to lose him the 1919 championship
than any other single factor.
Zimm is Slated to Go.
II is pretty safe to say that He,nie
Zimmerman has played his last game
In a Giant uniform. Not only did Zimm
start to slip perceptbly as a player last
season. but his fall from grace on tn"
last Western trip OF the Giants turned
McGraw against him,
one OF those sensational deals like
that of 1908 by which McGraw gave up
Mccain, Dahlen, Browne Bowerman
and Ferguson to Boston for Tenney,
Rridwell and Needham may be expected
during the coming winter.
Hornsby OF course is the man whom
McGraw would like to have, and II he
gets a chance at the Cardinal star he
will gladly pay any price Hickey may
ask. \ deal by which lIornsby would
have come to New York for a whole raft
Of players and cash was on the verGl
Of completion last August, when some
thing blocked it, Perhaps it was the
loud outcries that followed the trans
actions by which the Giants acquired
Pitchers Douglas and Nchf. Maybe the
uproar would not be So loud II this deal
was put through in mdwinter.
1t might be said that Zimmermans
backsllding followed after the St Louis
deal fell through. Heinie was one Of
tho players who was slated to finish his
career in the Mound city.
