Hereafter viii BE Largely
Composed of Youngsters.

WI It'll the loss Of pennant as
w surcd both New York baseball
teams II is interesting 10 note
that both McGraw and Husgins are
beginning TO try out new talent for a
fresh start next spring. This Is cspr.
cially true OF tho Giants. From now
on McGraw's club will be made up
almost entirely OF youngsters, which Is
very wise move. There is no better
method OF testing novice than to
season him under real nre. All Thea
rles can be- upset by base hit.
AS tho musical Mr.. Byron, in the
hcydey OF his umpiring. said to Larry
Doyle one day after violent protest
over a called strike: you'll never get
any base hits with that bat on your
shoulder"
BY tho same token, n young pitcher
will never get any strike-outs while
sitting on the bench. There have been
many occasions where youns pitcher
spent his whole season on u bench,
was released without a trial ana came
back the'next year a star with some
other club. Refusal to take chance
has lost many promising youngster
that way. Some managers ore lostn
to experiment, even with the pennant
gone, through their inherent desire 70
win a ball game at any cost.
Miller Huggins is right now going
through siege OF doubt on that sub
Jcct and Is being criticised for not
attempting to get q better line on his
extra men. In his case. however.
there Is moro reason for timidity than
~ thht OF McGraw, The Giants have
second place Cinched, while the
lanks must fight hard 10 wrcst Sec
ond or third place from the Tigers
or the Indians. The glining Of one
OF those positions this season means
something. 1t means TO the players
a small share OF the receipts OF the
| Worlds 81 ries.
| That Is the only possible excuse for
the lank manager not being willing
To take "A chance. We are willing TO
give him the benefit Of the doubt. bot
the prospect OF next spring is much
more important To him and to the
public than the earnings uf a little
extra cigarette money for the winter.
! McGraw already has begun the big
experiment, and from now on YOU may
expect to see the following names In
the lineup OF the Giants: Kelley, 1b:
Frisch, %; outfclders, Arnold. Statz,
Rowen and Kinsela; nflelders, Baird
Cooney and Pitchers Ryan and Win
tcrs
While Kelley, Frisch and Baird
have been seen frequently, very few
of the others have yet broken into a
box score This young man Kinsell I
by the way. is n son OF Dick Klnsella,
for years chief scout OF the Giants
Cooncy Is "A star inflelder from the
Providence Club OF tho Eastern
League. STATE is from Holy Cross
and in addition TO his eXpertness on
the diamond Is one OF the best col
lege golfers In the country, on th'
last trip West he played several OF
the courses under par Rowen Is a
rcd headed hitter from the New
Haven Club. All are itching for
chance.
And while the Giants are gettinJ

The present team OF Giants, In tn,
spring, looked TO be so per cent. bet
ter than anything in the league. on
paper II is to-day better than IN
Reds. But the Reds developed on
