The New York Giants to repeat
in the National League.
That seems to he the one hest pre-
.diction as far as eithsR OF the major
leagues Is concerned.
The Giants were good enough TO
win in 1921. The club that McGraw
will pilot this year Is an even strong
er aggregation.
That naturally makes the Giants
loom up as a top-heavy favorite IN
the National League baseball derby
for 1922.
The Giants have one Of the hest
.infields ever gotten together. 1t was
strong without Heinie Groh. The
addition of that star third sacker
rounds out the combination.
McGraw will get good catching
from Snyder and Smith. The 1t
field will be strong. George Burns
will be missed of course. Players
like Burns are always missed. How
ever, in SINNERS and Cunningham,
McGraw appears TO have W youns-
's.crs able to I'LL the vacancy.
Pirates VIII Miss Schmidt
Pittsburg finished second last sea-
son. but right now it doesn't seem
as IL the Pirates have a chance to get
SO high q rating for the coming
season.
The Pittsburg club is going TO
miss Catcher Schmidt. 1t doesn't
seem as II the club and the star
catcher are going to be able to get
together on the salary question.
No club in baseball a pass up
the services of so valuable a catcher
as Schmidt and not seriously weaken
its chances. The youngster Gooch
may prove . most capable substi-
|tute. yet he win hardly fill Schmidt's
shoes.
Then there Is the memory Of the
failure to win the 1921 pennant after
III had seemed to be all over but the
shouting. Unless the club is . par
Iticularly game aggregation thai
memory IL going to linger with the
athletes throughout the summer. 1t

BILL IS DELAYED
House Committee to- Study
Aid for Liberia Before
Taking Further Action.

The House ways and means commit
tee decided today to defer action on
the administrations bill which would
authorize a loan of $5,0oo.00G to LII
IBERIA. Committee members, it was
said. were generally Of the belief that
1t would be best to further investigate
the proposal, especially to determine
to what uses the money would be put
It was said that no action on the
bill would be taken by the committee
Tor at least two weeks.
Testimony offered by State and
treasury Department officials at
hearings on the measure revealed
that American and British banking
ing approximately $2,00e.0OO to the
Llberian government. This led va
r1ous members of the committee, it
was said, to believe that part of an
advance from the United States would
De used in canceling such loans. and
doubt Is said to have been expressed
as to whether 1t would be wise to
make a loan under such circum-
stances.
Some committee members are. also
understood to hcve been doubtful as to
whether security would be sufficient to
warrant $5.00o.O00 advance from this
government.
During the war the United States
agreed to make the loan. but before
actual advances were consummated
authority lapsed with the repeal of
wartime legislation. The question of
renewing the agreement was discussed
several months ago at a White House
conference between President Harding
and q group Of congressional leaders.
At that time 1t was reported that Presi-
dent Harding favored making the loan,
and the bill pending before the ways
and means committee was drafted to
obtain the sanction of Congress.
