proats Of the christening Of the new

vide AZ Tbbets Field. The Giants pos
itlvely will not appear at the Polo
Grounds next spring until the cate OF
their scheduled opening, some days latei
tkan the time set for the Yankees ano

Giant owners very generously refrained
from scheduling any spring games 80
that nothing might take the edge on
