Giants, and II was his single with
the bases full that gave the McCiraw
clan on last Sunday the high honors
they now enjoy.
Well, II was the same this year
with Heine Groh. Did McGraw
weaken on Heinie's ability to come
back In the world series just fin
ished? Not much. Groh was right
back there on third base.
What he did is baseball history.
He was the outstanding player
among the Giants in fielding and
batting. tell you that John j.
McGraw is a wise gazabo. He al
ways comes through. And why?
Simply because he does not weaken
on his own judgment. He sticks.
Is not that a characteristic trait
that appeals?
He Is a friend. who sticks.
And that is everything, believe
me. II is the lasting friends who

BUILDING A BACKFIElD
ABOUT GIANT ASPlUNDH

Coach Roy Mercer, Of Swarthmore,
is building a backfield around l.. &
Asplundh, his great fullback.
In Les Asplundh, Swarthmore has
one Of the most versatile fullbacks In
the East. This young giant, who
has just passed twenty.one years
weighs 205 pounds and 10 six foot
four inches tall.
The Garnet backfield Is bull,
around this towering chap who can
punt with the best Of them. hit the
line. skirt the ends and fling forward
passes. This is his last year at
Swarthmore and Coach Mercer con.
siders him a mighty valuable asset.
Asplundh is also a track star.

Manager McGraw had spent q for
tune to secure Groh from the Gin
cinnati club. It was considered by
the baseball fans that McGraw had
bought another championship by
corralling the redoubtable player. 1t
looked that way.
Groh, when he signed his con-
tract to play with the Giants, was
the man in the baseball limelight.
His salary was considered to have
been fixed at price that would
swamp ell the other club owners In
the league.
Howls OF dismay were heard from
every other city in the parent Or
ganization over the deal.
How can we head off the New
York club with all the money they
have at their disposal?" was the
question.
Groh appeared at the Giants
training camp in San Antonio with
prestige that excelled Fred
Toney's or Phil Douglas.
With Groh on third. the race was
considered to be all over.
Groh failed to make good. Not
through any fault Of his own, but
solely due to the fact that he was
not himself.
Then, some train OF circumsta noes
and conditions has frequently put
good players out Of commission, that
is, with other managers than John
J. McGraw. II the latter has faith
and confidence in a player he
holds 1t.
He carried along George Kelly for
years, when everybody was decrying
his judgment. The big fellow from
the Pacific coast was a joke In the
Natioral League for several years.
He went to the Pirates and was Il
frost. The rooters In Pittsburgh
laughed at him, derided him.
Did that make any difference
with McGrawf II did not. The
Giants manager still had faith that
George Kelly would become a hit.

A might IN PARIS"
DRAWS BIG CROWD
Carnival Mardi Gras At Bladen
Street Armory Highly Sue
cessful Entertainment
TO BE GIVEN TONIGHT

The Bladen street armory was
transformed last night into a gay
scene through the efforts of some of
the boys of Company M who de-
serve great deal of credit for their
unique and successful entertainment
The bare walls of the armory yes
thule were lined with pine branches,
making an attractive entrance. Two
sides of the room were devoted to
the cafes with names that smacked
of Partisan boulevards, and at one
end of the big hall there was vista
of the Riviera cleaning under the
Provencal sun, the whole transferred
to canvas by some soldier boy, who
may have convalesced there from
wounds received at the front.
Facing the entrance was the stage,
where the beautiful queen of the car
nival, Mrs w. ID. Brereton, Jr, held
her court. The King, Paymaster X.
H. Whitaker merry fellow, refused
to keep his state and hob-nobbed
with the common herd in a thorough
ly democratic manner.
Clowns and pierrettes, dainty fair
les in filrly pink dresses, mingled
with the throng selling their wares.
Half an hour after the doors opened
confetti was over everything but no
one seemed to mind in the least.
All the reserved tables in the gal
'lery were filled through the whole
evening, and conspicuous among the
audience was the Governor, who came
early and stayed to see everything.
Where there were so many pretty
dresses it was hard to pick a winner
in the pageant of French dress, which
might have teen dubbed fashion
show from the smartncss of the Co.'S
tunes worn.
One of the most popular numbers
with the audience was the charming
ly graceful dance of Pierrot and Col-
umtine done by William Phipps ana
Miss Gladys Elizabeth Stein, whose
black and white costumes were par
ticularly dainty and effective.
Quantities Of balloons strung across
the hall made an effective roof to the
lraIl room, while the constantly shI.e-
ing spot light added to the attrac-
iveness of the scene.
