SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 16.-Pre-
liminary to the departure of the Sec
ond team of the Giants tomorrow
night on little tour of its own John
McGraw this afternoon separated the
goats from the sheep and left some of
them guessing. Quiet a few of tie
have been adjudged good enough to
labor with the regulars or not capable
enough to go with the Pecans. At
any rate, MAC" said tonight that the
farewell to the heavily laden trenches
of the Menger Hotel does not neces-
sarily mean anything. But with all
that there is much guessing, more
conjecture and no little disappoint-
ment.
Seventeen players are to so with the
seconds, with Jess Burket the field
leader and Dick Kinsella as secretary
and Major Domo. or principal interest
is the fact that Virgil Barnes and
regulars, while Bill Ryan. Pat Shea
| and Cecil Causey will wander along
with the Pecans. This is not taken to
mean that the trio named to travel will
not be retained. but 1t does appear to
! indicate that both the younger Barnes
and Jonnard have earned places on the
Giants pitching staff. They have the
goods and have shown 1t.
Ryan Is suffering with a sore arm

who will have the services of Art Nehf,

gil Barnes. John Albertson and Phil

Larry Benton and Glen Shores also
will remain with the regulars, the

very verdant. but has the makings or

The makeup OF the second team is as

Billy Black: outfielders. Casey Stengel.
Ike Boone and Jack White.
This arrangement leaves the regulars
with the following substitutes: Johnny
Rawlings. John Boland and Joe F'itz-

will have three catchers, Snyder. smith
and CASTOR in addition to Brown. who
certainly will not remain with the club.
While Hale has gone with the sec

lie has taken the place of Kopf as un-
dorstudy to Rawlings for infield utility.
THAT was shown yesterday when Hale
was sent IN at second base after F'risch
was spiked. We believe that Kopf and
