 Gibby Concedes Nothing
 When the trade that sent Heinie Groh to New York was announced it is reported that the manager of a strong National league team re- marked: That cinches this years flag for the Giants" Manager George Gibson of the Pirates vigorously dis sents from this view. T never won any pennants in the winter months" says Gibby, "and I do not concede any"
 Though Davis Robertson, heavy hitting outfield, and Walter Schmidt, premier catcher of the Heydler or ganization, have not reported at Hot Springs. Manager Gibson contends that his team will be as strong as 1t was at any time last season.

 GoOch Is Catcher
 Should Walter Schmidt decide to remain in California, Manager Gib- son will rely on John Gooch, Clsr- ence x Jonnard and Mike Wilson to do the catching for the Pirates. Schmidt's absence will be a serious loss as the Coast capitalist is the best backstop in the league, but GiD-
