HERE COMES THE HINTS
THAT RUETHER WANTS
TO PLAY WITH GIANTS
Expected Whispers Started
as Pitcher Remains
in San Antonio.
By JOHN 3. FOSTER.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
New York, March 6.-Ruether OF
Brooklyn, who might lead all the left
handed pitchers on earth if he had the
disposition. today is playing golf in
San Antonio where the Giants arc
training and the combination does not
look pretty. The quicker Ruether
abandOns the San Antonio golf courses
and takes up the tarpon fishing at
Clearwater. Fla. which the Brooklyns
will indulge in when not engaged on
the diamond, the better it will be for
him.
Waddell. one of the greatest pitch
ers of baseball not only was left
handed but he had "lcfthandpd
brain" There seems to be others. 1t
is being whispered in Brooklyn that
Ruether wants to be with the Giants

grow to shout like magic plant I'M

II Pennock gets off right with the
Yanks he will be lefthander who
will finish the year in Splurgevillc. 1t
is probable that this season may make
him. Every now and then in 1922 he
pitched game with the Boston clubs
and had all the earmarks of mounds
man of the first rank. Sometimes.
however. the opposing batters cleaned
him in hurry. At no time did he
have much in the way of support to
back him up. The chances are he will
not stick TO baseball much longer. but
give him team like the Yanks who
can sting the ball for him and he is
apt TO introduce enough victories to
help retain that banner which the
New York club is so anxious to hold.
IT begins to look as If the Giants
would not go more than ten miles
along the road of peace to induce Ban
croft and Bentley. holdouts. To join
them at the Alamo. The club thinks it
has done fairly well by Bancroft. In
1914 Bancroft made the Philadelphia
club champions. Some folSS try to
charge Pat Moran with doing il. but
Pat and his smile resent that and say
that it was the made-ovcr infield in
which Bancroft starred that give the
Baker dynasty strip of bunting to-
hang ont of the window on high days
and holidays.
Because there was friction in tho
bearings Fletcher was transferred
from New York TO Philadelphia for
Bancroft. The latter did wonderfully
in the new environment and some of
the fans began to whooD him up as
the greatest shortstop in the game.
He seems TO have taken that to heart.

New York might get along without
