NEW DEVELOPMENTS
MAY DISRUPT CLUB
Giants Outlook Dubious With
Bancroft Sick and Tim
Making Charges.
BY HENRY i. FAIRFIELD.
United Press staff Correspondent


NEW YORK. Mar. Another
pennant seems slipping away from
the grasp of John ]. McGraw.
Some bad luck combined with the
weak infield malady that made the
Giants run second last season is
smearing lamp black over the bright
hopes Of Gotham for the coming
season.
Charles Stoneham, the millionaire
boss OF the club, is willing to pay
almost his pile for a pennant and
McGraw coming close TO the end of
his string wants to win another
pennant, break the tie with Connie
Mack and retire as the manager of
seven pennant winning teams.
Regarded As FavOrite.
The Giants were generally regard
ed az the favorite for the 1921 race
until
Heinie Zimmerman started talking
and Dave Bancroft developed heart
trouble.
Zimmerman cast suspicious on
Rube Benton, Fred TOney and
Benny Kauff. There is also some
thing to be cleared up about the
Benton Herzog case.
Even in New York, where the
fans are willing TO go to any length
to discredit Zimmerman's tale, there
is a lot Of sentiment that the three
Giants should be suspended until
they are found innocent

Hooper Ends Record Term

When Harry 3. Hooper stepped
into the big league ranks back in
1909 he donned Boston Red Sox
uniform.
And he has been with that team
ever since.
The 1921 season will break the
run or an even dozen years, through
the trading OF Hooper to the Chi
cago White Six for John Collins and
Memo Leibold. It's one OF the long
est terms IF connection with one
time in the big leagues.
Collins Close Up.
Collins record stacks up within
one year as good lie joined tho
White sox in 1910 and has been
one of Coniskey's boys since that
time.
Leibold has played with two big
league teams. He started with
Cleveland in 1918 and was an In

In 1915 ne was claimed by Chi
cago on waiver price.
Hooper has been The leader OF
the three in the bat-lg average
column. Collins ranN second.
Hooper Is also considered the most
finished fielder and has stolen al
most as many bases as Collins and
LeibOld together in the past five
years.
All Outficldcrs.
All three are outfielders. though
John Collins has held down first
base on many occasions.
Hooper is SO and came from the
Sacramento team Of the California
State league. Collins is "a and
came from the Springfield squad of
the Connecticut league. LeibOld is
2S and graduated from the Milwau-
kee American association team.

The White Sox seem TO be getting

their roster is almost a rooster.
