List of Ten New Hurlers, Five
Southpaws, Is Issued
by Giants.
PURCHASE FRANK FULLER
Second Baseman Comes From
San Antonio-Cobb's Aver
age Under Fire.
BY DANIEL.

John J. McGraw Is more than anx-
ious to discard that famous juggling
act of his for the season of 1928.
Suspicious along that line We're con-
firmed yesterday when Jim Tferney
issued a list of new pitchers. who will
bring the number OF hurlers at the
spring training camp to eighteen.
McGraw already has corralled that
record number, and may add two be-
fore the boys get their orders to report
at either San Antonio or southern
California.
Ten Fingers are included In the list
of thirteen newcomers who have been
accepted definitely by the Giants from
the minor league clubs With which they
played last season and have been placed
on the reserve lis. OF forty sent to the
offices Of John Heydfer A few of these
young men pitched divers innings after
the New Yorks had clinched the pennant
last fall. The ten and their 1922 at
filiations are as follows:
Jack Bentley Baltimore. International
League; Joe billiard. Southwestern Uni
versity of Texas: Fred Johnson. San An
tonic, Texas League; Chester Lucas,
Portsmouth, Virginia League; Fred
(Red) Lucas, Nashville Southern
League: Mike Cvengros Little Rock.
Southern League: Oln Noigt San An
tonic; George Walberg, Portland, Pacific
Coast League Earl Webb, Memphis,
Southern League Guy Morrison, Bloom
ington Three | League,
Five New southpaws.
OF these Bentley, Voigt. Johnson,
Cvengros and Walberg are left handlers.
Morrison does not appear on the reserve
list because he has not yet been signed.
The deal for the pitcher has been closed
hut the Giants cannot sign him until
they release somebody to make room for
him among the forty. 1t is reported
that the man who is to go is Davy Rob
ertson. the spare outfielder. Davy was
in to see McGraw the other day. but
no details OF their conference We're dis
cussed by either.
To the list of youngsters named above
may be added Clinton Blume, the right
handler who joined the Giants last sum
mer from Colgate University, and
pitched a victory over the Braves in the
final series The rest of the Fingers to
make up the eighteen are: Art Nehf,
Jack Scott. Bill Ryan, Claude Jonnard.
Jess Barnes, Virgil Barnes and Hugh
McQullan. Young Seydler, the eighteen
year old underhand finger from San
antonio, who recently was recalled from
Portsmouth. has been released to Toledo
along with Tom Davies.
The chief non-pitching newcomer is
Frank Fuller, sprightly second sacker
from San Antonio. who has seen major
league service before. Fuller was with
Newark for a spell after being sent
down by Detroit. If l remember right
he was with the Yankees and Detroit
for a short while some years ago.
When it comes to fielding Fuller is right
there with the best of them.
One Is n Catcher.
John Anderson. a cratcher, drafted
from Beaumont of the Texas League,
Mahlon Higbie outfelder, from Hop
lsinsvile, Kitty League. and Travis
Jackson. shortstop. from Little Rock,
are the others who will get orders to
report to McGraw at the training camp.
Highbie and Jackson were seen I'm Giant
uniforms toward the close of the 1929
season. The outf1elder is g. hard hitter.
Fred Mcguire. the second baseman
from Holy Cross, and Waddy MacPhee,
the third sacker from Princeton. have
been retained and will go South. Nc
Graw looks for great things from Ma
guire. who handles himself very much
like Eddie Collins and looks good deal
like the old Columbia star. To the list
must be added. Of course. Jimmy O'Con-
nell. the $4,000 Beauty from San Fran
cisco. who will be tried out in center
1neld.
The outlook Is that McGraw will take
more than forty players with him to
camp. Just where that camp will be
he declines to divulge. Tierney declares
that no decision has been made How
ever. We adhere to our prediction that
II will be San Antonio again. From
Chicago comes the word that the Giants
already have decided 60 repeat their
1922 tour with the White Sox and that
the New Yorks will train again In the
Mission City, while the Sox will return
TO Seguin, which Is thirty-five miles
from the Alamo.
