The Beaumont club Of the Texas

Manager Fayors Marlin
Such q convoy Of Giant battery men
will be no new experience TO Marlin.
Indeed, the Giants trained there an
nuslly for a dozen years and still own
Emerson Park, which was given by the
city. McGrnw has always been a firm
believer IN the benefits Of Marlin
waters. He probably never would have
moved his spring training base from
Marlin had the town been able 90 pro-
. vide suitable hotel accommodations for
the temperhmentAl encourage Of a
major league champion. II was while
Marlin served as spring training camp
that McGraw achieved his most note
worthy triumphs-three consecutive
pennants in 1911, 1912 and 1918.
The Giant battery men will have
company In Marlin. Kid Gleason, skip

battery men there about the same time.
Gleason sampled the Marlin waters for
me hrst time last spring before his
pitchers and catehers reported for the

Was that the Chicago pitchers when
they hrst hooked up with the Giants
last year IN the exhibition series were
