GIANTS STAR
SOUTH FROM
NEW YORK
Will Be Joined at ST. Louis To-
morrow by Rest Of
Squad.
By SAM CRANE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19-The baseball
season of 1923 is on The send-off
was today. AT 1905 o'clock this
morning the first bunch Of Giants
dparted for the rookie training camp
in Marlin, Texas, where they will
practice about ten days before Join
ing the regulars in San Antonio.
There were eleven in the party and
they will meet in St. Louis tomor-
row afternoon another squad of
youngsters in charge Of Casey
Dolan. who will act as manager
while at Marlin.
Those leaving here this morning
were Hugh McQuillan, Fred Ha.
mann, Clinton Blume and Charles
Schesler, pitchers; Alex CASTOR and
J. f. Casey. catchers, together with
four New York newspaper men.
The st. Louis squad will include
besides Dolan, Guy Morrison, Ches.
ter Lewis, DIN Voight, Fred Nc
Clure and Michael Cvengros, pitch
ers, and John Anderson, catcher.
Many friends and relatives of the
players, as we'll as fans, were at
the station here to see the ambitious
youngsters off and to wish them
good luck.
The party is due to arrive in Mar
lin Wednesday evening. where they
will be gladly welcomed by Marlin
people with whom the Giants have
long been big favorites. Manager
McGraw had teams there fifteen
years in succession and may 60
back there again.

home, playing golf or watch pro-
hlbltion raids, il he isn't.
Thus his success or failure is of
great interest to the American
League as whole, outside Of New
York and the Yankee coIonels.
Babe Ruth, since the world series
OF 1922, has acted like man who
had taken q tumble to himself.
Instead OF running around, having
. good time night and day, he has
buckled down to make an athlete
out Of himself once more.
Eventually Ruth is, going to
weight close to 400 pounds. but
that will be long after he has quit
playing ball. He puts on weight
rapidly. He has huge frame,
one well able to carry whatever he
gets in the future. But no man
can be a great baseball player
who weighs rs much as the 225
pounds he did when he broke into
the Yankee lineup last season.
1t will be pounds that will stop
Ruth's home runs, and the older
he gets the harder will he find
the. task Of sloughing off the
weight, II he permits it to en-
croach even the least little bit.
So today the Battering Bambino,
the Sultan Of Swat, the Baron of
Bust--or anything you wish to
term him--begins to boil out at
Hot Springs, begins to tramp up
and down those hills, begins ia
work his head off and that stomach
down.
It's a good bet that Ruth will
be in perfect physical condition
the day the season opens. It is
also good bet that he will make
Ken Williams look like a deuce
when it comes to hammerinR the
ball over the, distant walls long
before the campaign ends.

counter, straight left or solar plexus
wollOp Strengthened out the kicking
player and also made RigIer the
most prominent umpire In the coun-
try. His fame was worldwide. He
had made himself.
Harry Pulliam and Ban johnson,
of course, heard Of Cy. They both
wired him to join their staffs. The
National League president got In
ahead OF Ban and the parent base
ball organization secured the serv-
ices of the redoubtable umpire.
EMPIRES heretofore had been
usually carried off the field in am
balances. So Cy Rigler because, as
he continued to be up to last season,
a real umpire and one whose de-
cisions were made absolutely correct
by league presidents-not by play
ers or fans. With the latter the UNI
pires are never right and never
will be.
We are willing to wager also that
IL Cy in the future desires to take up
umpiring again he can do 30 and
will still consider that he Is as good

Yes, Cy Rigler has quit the
thankless job and taken up oil as
a means of smooth livelihood for
the future. His career as an Jump
surely was not creased" On the
contrary, Cy had rough, tough
time az q baseball decisioner. We
all hope that his new job will 80

No one more than an umpire
who has been at that business for
near onto twenty years deserves
more salve in any new vocation he
may adopt. We wish Cy all the
luck in the world in his new ven

Cy Rigler was appointed an
umpire Ia 1905 by Harry Pull.
liam, who was then president Of
the National League. RigIer's
chief recommendation to PulliaIn
was that he had punched some
player who had objected to one
Of his decisions.
Now we are not claiming that
RIgler'9 Judgment was correct or
that it was not. Sufficient it is
to say that Rigler imagined his
decision was absolutely proper, cor
rect ana also should go as made.
To enforce this idea on the disput-

had taken things into his own
hand and settled the mooted Ques-

statement to the president OF the
league.
RIgIer might have known then,

would be supported BY the head Of
