Giant Giant Rookie

SAN ANTONIO. March 9.-Manager
John McGraw Of the New York Giants is
giving a lot of attention to George Stan
ton, rookie. He is Of the George Kelly
type and, like the big first baseman when
he first reported, IS all arms and legs.
Somebody once said that Kelly could do
more things wrong than any young ball
player he had ever seen, and this is an
apt description Of the coast player who
was sent to McGraw by Bill Lange, an
Intimate friend Of the Giants manager
and an uncle of Kelly.
Stanton played his first game of ball
last August, breaking in with an anna
teur aggregation in San Francisco trav-
cling under the picturesque name Of the
Park Buns. After leaving the Buns
Stanton hooked up with a semi-pro team
and from there came to the Giants. I'M
heralded and unsung. with all Of seven
months Of experience TO his credit He is
feet 612 inches in height. three and
half inches taller than Kelly, and he
drives the ball on a line and with free
swinging punch behind 1t. More than
this, the coast rookie can cut out blue
streak when he runs, the long legs car
rying him over the ground in amazing
style

Gotham Sport Fans
Vail as ScGIpers
Grab Off Tickets
Six-Ddy Bike Race and Glib
bOns-Greb Fight Paste
boards Scarce.
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL.

NEW YORK, March 9.-Tieket scalpers
in New York never lose decision. No
matter what the weight is or what the
rules are, the specs" get there.
New Workers have become such easy
victim Of the paste board jobbers that 1t
is almost necessary to slip in hallway
and barter for a subway ticket.
It has gone so far that scalpers have
finally sy7ooped down on the sixday bike
race. Without going to some of the
species and paying double or triple the
face value of the ticket it is impossible to
the closing night of the race.
There isn't a ticket in sight for the
Gibbons Greb fight next Monday night
and walls are being raised to the skies.
The show Is being given by charitable
organization and the "spec" are getting
selling for $15 and the scalpers aren't
anxious to SELL
Tex Richard gave the specs" bad
beating on the Dempsey Carpenter fight
when by all the rules they should have
stepped into a fortune.
Just after the tickets were placed on
sale, some counterfeits appeared and sew
tickets were arrested. Richard announced
that bad tickets were in circulation and
that 1t would be dangerous to buy from
any place but the ticket office. Richard
has never denied that he had the counter
felt tickets made himself. The arrested
men were never tried and the specs"
were lucky to get rid of their tickets
sistently getting rid of the specs" has
been devised.
The scalping business has become so
established In New York that the sport
fans try to cultivate the acquaintance of
good "spec" where low prices prevail

COLD WINDS
TRIBES CUE TO
SLOW UP A BIT
Pitchers Do Not Take Chance,
With Chilly Breeze-Others
Work.
DIXON STILL ON SHELF

MARLIN SPRINGS, Texas, March O.
The weather here today was bit too
breezy to permit the indianapolis base
ball teams pitchers to engage IN un-
IooSenlng the muscles In the throwing
arms and as q result the only players to
get real work out were the infeId ana
the five Outfielders, all of whom faced the
northerner which chased the warm and
pleasant atmOspheres Of yesterday away
from Marlin Springs.
The entire squad was a willing crew
despite the wind and were much bene-
fitted through the two sessions. Manager
Hendricks had them in hand during the
forenoon, but turned the task over to
Covlngton after dinner, while he and
Owner Smith went to San Antonio 10
pay a visit to Jawn McGraw, the Big
Boss of the worlds champion New York
Giants.
So far the Indians appear to be getting
into condition at marvellous pace and
Hendricks believes by Saturday those who
are here now will be ready to cut loose
a bit. Leo Dixon, however. is still on
the shelf and it will be several days be-
fore he begins the grind. Dixon, how
ever, is not over weight and probably
will get into shape without much diff
Guilty.
The Indians will meet the Galveston
team Of the Texas League March IS and
10 in GalvestOnI There is little doubt
but that HendYfcks viii have every man
in great form by that time and a good
line will be had on the pitching staffA
also. incidentally, when Royce andV
Cavet come into camp the latter part
of the week, the hurting corps viii In
clude eight twirIers.
There was a noticeable Stacking up
in the movement of some of the players
who found themselves a bit sore after
the gruelling work outs of Tuesday. A
few days more, however, will find the
stiff and sore spots only a memory and
then the real-fOr-certain grind begins.
Vernon Spencer, one Of the new out
fielders, uncorked a bit of the speed
which he is said to possess, in the work
outs Of Wednesday. Spencer was also
hitting much better than in the opening
batting sessions, when he was topping
most of his swings. Spencer was with
the Toronto club in the International
League last year and was the property
of the Giants. Vernon and Eddie Brown
both came to Manager Hendricks from
the Giants. By the way, Brown shared
in the Giants world series money and
received a full share. 800 berries. The
two ex-Giants look mighty good so far
in their work outs. Eugene Morrison.

the Indians outfield last season, threat.

LOOK OUTFOR
ANDERSON FIVE
Northern Regional DOpesters
Say Stages Team Has
Splendid Chance.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 9.-Basket
ball fans in the northern part Of the
State are predicting that If a dark
horse" wins the State High School Bas-
ket bali Tournament, which is to be held
in the Coliseum of the State Fair
grounds, at Indianapolis, March II and
IS, that it will come from the teams that
are expected to win their contests at
the regional tourney at Purdue Universe
ty, March II. Fans generally are choos-
ing a southern high school quintet to
take the laurels at Indianapolis, Vim
cennes being mentioned as the team most
likely to win. Close followers of the
game are pointing out, however, that
Anderson's schedule does not seem to
contain the hard games that must be
played by Vincennes. Two likely OPP
ponents Of Vincennes, according to dope,
are Bloomington and Franklin, on Sat
urday morning and afternoon, respective
ly, while Anderson might play Column
bus and Garfield Of Terre Haute or
Whiting The fact that Franklin does
not play Saturday morning, and meets
Vincennes that afternoon means that the
present State champs Will be much more
rested than Vincennes. Working along
this line of dope" 1t would seem that
gether in the final game that the odds
would somewhat favor the Anderson
five,
The regional games at Lafayette will
be played this week and end in Pur
dues Memorial gymnasium, which has a
seating capacity Of about $500.
General favorites to win their games
at Purdue Saturday are: Angola to win
from Goshen; Anderson to win from
Pine Village; South Whitley to win from
Atwood; Marion to win from Hunting
ton; Frankfort to win from Jefferson OF
Lafayette; Rochester to win from Cut
Ter; Whiting TO win from Decatur; and
Wingate to win from Fishers. Dope is
easily upset In this Tournament, however,
and followers OF every one of the six
teen teams feel certain that their team
win win th4 game that It plays.
