Burns and Benny Kauff get together.
With Snyder, McCarty and Gonzales,
McGraw will be more or less satisfied
with his catching staff. The pitchers
include the batch that McGraw had at
the close of last years play, with the
possibility Of some of the recruits COM
ing through.
What McGraw would like to find
is something in the way of an infielder,
but these rarely bob up in spring
training camp. at least not the brand
of infelder that McGraw would like
to have on the Giants. 1t is highly
probable that the owners of the Giants
will be turning over a good sized
piece Of change for an infielder before
the spring training season is very far
under way.
McGraw always has thought we'll of

tall nephew Will get plenty of chance
to demonstrate that he is of the tim
Der Der for the JOB with the Giants. The
long boy was breaking all the fences
in the small circuit, but when he got
the chance with the Giants his eager
ness to make good made him nervous
at first, but toward the end Of the sea-
son he seemed to be steadying down.
To Tour With Red Sox
the Red Sox that will take in twenty
one games altogether. They will lum-
Der around through the oil belt where
fat guarantees have been offered for
big league exhibition baseball. Then
they will come through the old south
and finally wind up at the Polo Grounds,
where two exhibition games will be
played on April 10 and II. These
games will give McGraw plenty of
chance to get q line on any recruits
that he might fancy.
The fact that the Giants have been
slow in arranging their 1920 plans has
caused considerable misgiving among
numbers of local fans, but there is
always the confidence that when
McGraw takes hold he takes hold with
firm grip. Those who know him are
quite confident that he has lot up
his sleeve and that the Giants who do
not look like certain pennant winners
at the current writing will begin to
look formidable about the time the
season starts.

Dyker Meadow boys had close call,
one more than the efforts Of the Berk-
eley-Irving School boys. Marquand
School, the host, was third with 8

sented and only one failed to tally

The point issue was always In abey-
ance between Berkeley-Irving and Poly

the 100 and 220-yard swims. He won
both of these fixtures in the tourna'
ment last year. In each competition
Chace, who is national intersch elastic
champion, led throughout. He won the
1920" by 15 yards, in which he "loafed'
the last rs yards, while he won the
century by three yards.
Another impressive exhibition was
given by Paul Genthner, of Polly Prep
a national interscholastic champion, ir
the fifty-yard swim. He covered the
distance in 26 2-5 seconds, leading
throughout, and defeated Horace Nc
Mullen, Erasmus Hall, by three yards
after Philip Copelin, Berkeley-Irving
and Albert Oppekofer, Textile School
had tied with sixty feet for first place
in the plunge for distance. In the ex-
ira plunge, Oppekofer covered 62 feet
