in the Giant ranks will be filled with
new players educated in the McGraw
kindergarten which has produced many
a start. McGraw has made certain Of
fers for fully developed players, but
there is a bull market in this line.
For Rogers Hornsby McGraw offered
$4,000 and several players. He an
nounced that he had made an offer for
Rabbit Maranville that would have
seemed large in the old days, but this
was turned down.
DESPITE the denials of the infuriated
Inhabitants of Cincinnati. Rousch was
offered in trade fo Ross Young, but
McGray refused to trade. The mana
ger of the Giants believes that Young
will be greater player than Rousch.
Went Discuss Heinie
Asked about the status Of Heinie
Zimmerman, .scGraw said: "This is
something l will not discuss. Nor will
/ discuss the matter of Chase. Any
thing that is said about these two
PLAYERS must come from the players
themselves.
"It looks as though we will have to
work with the material we have on
hand for the present. l do not know
how good that is yet and l will not
know for some weeks. But we have
developed great players before and we
can do it again. Baseball is due for an
infusion of new blood all along the
line"
"Thc offers l have made so far have
been turned down. This is because
everybody expects big baseball year.
h., Iuhor rluh like ST
Louis could not possibly refuse ran
offer like $4,000, but now it seems to
mean nothing.
~ am glad Of the long exhibition
schedule, because | have team in the
making and want to have chance to
watch the youngest at work. If had a
veteran team. OF course, we would not
need so much preliminary work.
at is hard 10 tell what the new
material will produce. The youngsters
spend the winters keeping fit in gym
nasiums and playing winter baseball
and they report with a world Of speed
and promise, but when the long grind
starts they wilt. 1 must say. though,
that they impress me as likely lot.
To DO Much Building
This year I think We will do con-
build than buy-not because Of the
spending OF the money-but there is
so much satisfaction in the Building
Of a team from the raw material. But
we will buy, if necessary.
'I am pleased with George Kelly.
think that this is just the time in his
career when he win make good swiftly
at first. lie never had the right chance
before. He will get it now, and l am
sure that he will make good quickly.
- made an offer for Stock, one that
] consider very liberal one, but so far
] have heard nothing. If l do not get
Stock think / can find the material
for third base. Yes, may work Frisch
there for 4 while, and then again there
may be material for q third baseman in
the new bunch.
"The racing season at Havana was
remarkable one. One Sunday at Orien-
tai Park we handled something like
100000. No. Curley Brown is no
longer connected with the park in any
way. The controlling interest is held
by Mr.. Stoneham and myself. l think
it will be great year for racing
everywhere, but at this time of the
year | am not interested in the racing
i,ame. Let's talk baseball.
"Of course ! think that the stopping
,,f the freak deliveries of pitchers viii
help the game. l always have been
against that. We have only Douglas
who uses the sptball on the Giants.
