Bentley Alone Missing
From New York's San
Antonio Camp.
DID DAVE GET RAISE?
Question Seems IMAM
swered-No More San
Antonio Players In.

"Dave signed IN and then there
was one"
The quotation is from q revised
nursery rhyme and is meant TO con-
vey the information that the once
lengthy list of New York Giant hold
outs has been cut down day by day
until Jack Bentley, pitcher. is the
last remaining performer TO stay away
from camp because of disagreement
over mcney-thc disagreement in
Jacks case being with the Baltimore
club from whom he was bought and
not the Giants who bought him.
Shortstop Dave Bancroft has sign
ed, showed up, gotten into a uniform
and melted into the thrOng Of ami
formed ball players out at League
Park each morning and afternoon.
Bancroft arrived Saturday morning
and took his first workout shortly
afterward. He is somewhat under
weight, il seems. but you couldn't OK
actly call him skinny.
Brought Contract Along.
Dave signed contract sent him to
his home in Sioux City. Iowa, sew
eral days ago. He brought it along
W
it was announced. Judging from his
conversation, the Giants met his sal
airy demands. Whether this is true
is question and it was generally
doubted in the Giant camp Saturday.
The New York club hasn't been meet
ing any demands lately, it is whis-
pered.
Whether Bancroft got what he
asked for. or n compromise. will per-
haps never be definitely learned. The
New York officials have a rule that
players salaries will not be publicly
discussed.
There were no new announcements
on the Bentley matter. the pitcher
having announced his determination
TO sit tight until he got a slice of
his purchase price from Baltimore.
The Giants did not play a practice
game Friday. A general workout,
with a mixture of batting. bunting.
fielding. base-running. sliding and all
the other essentials in mild doses, was
INDUCED in. At the end of the after
noon workout. the several hundred
fans who occupied the grandstand
watched Charles Garrett of Austin.
five-lette man of several years ago
at the University Of Texas Ind now
an instructor there, chase long and
wicked wallops off the bats of Jen-
nings and Dolan. Garrett had as
much fun as the fans and occasionally,
just to show them, made a fancy
catch.
The latest dope on the arrival of
more Bears is that Manager Cole

Fuller. Meyers and others. who have
been expected ever since last Thurs
day, are still out at latest reports.

San Antonio had the laugh or
Florida as place to train big league
ball clubs Friday afternoon. While

here and the Giants sweltered in tn,
heat though the sun was obscuret
by clouds, the st. Louis National,
at Bradentown. Fla. had TO call of
afternoon practice because of cole
weather. Imagine it. Good weather
