Giants Resume
Series To-day

Rain Again Prevents Game
With Colonels, but Squads
Practice; Rapp With Team
By Charles A. Taylor

MOBILE, Ala, March 31.-Mobie is
the Giants. For the third time since
the New Workers pitched their tents
here last Monday, the weather has cut
up such pranks that games scheduled
have had to be Cancelled The Louis
vile Coloneis. who we're disappointed
at the calling off Of the contest with
the Giants on Tuesday, were robbed
OF their last chance to meet the Nc
Graw men this afternoon. A heavy
rain in the carly morning produced a
thick layer of mud at Monroe Park.
Notwithstanding the condition of the
field, both tts Giants and the Colonels
had brief wsRkouts, which sufficed to
keep the kirkx out of their arms. Earl
Smith was the demon performer during
the Giants batting practice, twice
smashing the ball over the right field
fence.
An interested spectator of the prac-
tice was Goldie Rapp, who sat in box
under heavy wraps so to speak. Goldie
is beseeching McGraw to allow him to
don uniform tomorrow and guaran-
tees to make at least single if sent

letics, who will be the guests Of the

Giants to Seek Revenge
The series Of games with Connie

these battles.
Dave Bancroft appeared in the din
ing room of the Battle House this noon
for the first time since he had his
tonslls removed last Tuesday. He was

was his enunciation clear, but il is
only question OF two or three davs

malcy.

champlng at the bit and Bancroft on
the mend the Giant inticld, as original
~ constructed, should soon be doing
business at the old stand and once
more feeding thrills to the fans.
Brewers Demand Two PLAYERS
Manager McGraw was besieged this
afternoon by Otto Boschert, president
OF the Milwaukee club of the American
Az, sciation, and Jack Egan, manager
OF sAe Brewers, who demand two of the
Giant players as part payment for
Alex Alphonse Castor, the catcher OBJ
tanned by McGraw from Milwaukee
last fall. Boschert and Egan insist
that one of the two men must be
catcher, but McGraw intimated to-
night that he was unwilling to let any
OF his backstops go at this time.
Manager" Dick Kinsella of the
Giant second team is rapidly de-
veloping into q real manager, judging
from the report from New Orleans this
morning that Jimmy Carton. promis-
ing aouthpaw who has been barnstorm-
ing with Dick, had been released to
the New Orleans club. Of course, it
IS presumed that Manager McGraw
had some hand in the matter, but
kinsella at least "slipped one over" as
publicity agent.
Carton pitched last year for Shreve-
port and it was understood while the
Giants were training at San Antonio
that he would remain in the South for
further seasoning.
