The Giants will not have the services
Of Frank Frisch in the important series
with the world champion Cleveland
team at Dallas Saturday and Sunday.
Frisch sprained his left ankle in the
practice game this afternoon and had
to be carried off the field. An ex-
animation made tonight indicated that
the srrain was not serious, but Nc
Graw does not expect his sensational
infielder to work again for ten days.
The accident to Frisch came in the
fifth inning. King had flied out when
Bancroft singled to right. Frisch hit
the tall to the same field and went to
second on the throw in to third, which
was wild, and Bancroft scored. During
the nix-up Frisch set sail for third
and slid feet foremost into the bag,
just as Kane put the ball on him.
Frisch was unable to rise and was
carried to the clubhouse.
The game itself was a weird affair,
| the Yannigans winning by a score of
Q to and thereby tieing up the series
between the two teams. Each has won
three games. The victory Of the sec
| pitching of c. Raymond Evans, who
| twirled two innings for the Regulars.
1t was G. Raymond's first chance in q
game, and he celebrated the fact by
giving six bases on balls and making
two wild pitches.
Grimes to Join First Team
AS the result of the injury to Frisch,
| it is expected that Roy Grimes will
be shifted from the second team to the
| first, while Lee King will take the
place Of Grimes as first baseman of
the seconds. Grimes played alongside
l-of Bancroft for time last season, and
is fairly heavy hitter. With King ON
first, Flanagan doubtless will get the
| center field assignment on the Yanni-
gan nine.
The second team left here last night
for Waxahachie, where it will meet the
White Sox second team tomorrow and
Saturday. Bill Brennan accompanied
the recruits and will umpire Fridays
game and then jump to Dallas, where
he will oficiate during the series be-
tween the Giants and the world cham
pions.
Dave Bancroft has been informed By
his physician that he should have his
tonsils removed as soon as possible. At
the request of Manager McGraw, Ban
croft will defer the operation until af-
ter the series with the Cleveland team.
Manager" Dick Kinsella, of the
second team, announced tonight that
he planned to use Poll Perritt and Rube
Benton in the box against the White
Sox.
Ross Young, star outfielder Of the
Giants. has received the reward of
merit from Manager McGraw. The
leader Of the Giants tonight divulged
ho fa ct hot -
to three-year contract at SALARY
satisfactory to both parties" In COM
menting upon the signing of Young,
McGraw referred to him as "a player
who always obeyed orders"
Young Signed for Three Years
"I have signed Young to three-year
contract" said McGraw, Covering this
season and the two following ones. He
is a prayer who has always obeyed
orders and given his best to the club
and predict that if he continues to
improve during the next three years
as he has in the past three he will
become one of the highest salaried
players in the game"
Young joined the Giants in 1917, and
after being farmed out to the Roches-
ter club Of the international League
for one year, returned to the Giants
for whom he has played sensationally
both in the field and at bat. Young
has not failed to hit more than 800 in
each of the three years he has been
a Giant. His throwing arm is one of
the best in the big leagues.
