LOSING LANCROFT
LEAVES INFIELD
MUCH WEAKENED
Ability of Rockies May
Decide Fate of Next
Season
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


NEW YORK, April 4.-Minus an
experienced and brilliant shortstop,
plus a good outfielder and two or
three fair young pitchers, worn
team Of New York Giants will
make desperate fight for their
fourth consecutive pennant in the
national league.
There are several doubtful fac.
tors that must be considered in fig.
uring the chances of the Giants to
do something that no other national
league team ever done, but one
thing is certain---they will fight.
The Giants weakened an almost
'impregnable infield to strengthen
the outfield, since the close of the
last pennant race when they trad.
ed Dave Bancroft to the Boston
Braves aifd got Bill Southworth for
the outer garden.
When he announced the release of
Bancroft, John McGraw said he
was confident that Travie Jackson,
21-year-old minor Lacquer, who was
tested in the fire last summer,
would make New York forget the
veteran star, but there are reasons
to believe that it must have been
hope speaking for McGraw.
jackson, during the early spring
games, fell off in his hitting and at
times he didn Y know what to do
with the ball.
Groh Is Problem
George Kelly might be considered
a problem at first base if McGraw
did not have Bill Terry, a real star,
to fall back on.
Heinie Groh at third base is a
serious problem because he may not
be able to stand up under a hard
season and McGraw has no depend
able sub He has been giving Kelly
a shot at third base and that shows
to what limit the team will be fore
ed if Groh goes to pieces.
The Giants have only one infield
reserve and he is u 19-year-old
rookie, Lindstorm. Freddy Maguira,
a promising young second baseman,
was hurried to Toledo with instruc.
tions to have a shortstop made out
of him. . ..'.
AS assets, the Giants have frankie
Frisch and Ross Young, two of the
finest players in the game and the
pair who received credit from Nc.
Graw for winning the pennant last
year.
Southworth has been assigned to
center field He is not a natural
centcrfielder and he has not done
much work in left field where he
will have to help Irish Meusel
whose chief value now is in his
stick.
Hank Gowdy, Frank Snyder and
Eddie Ainsmith, the. most ancient
staff in the league, will have to
do the catching.
At least two pitchers to help out
Nehf, Bentley, McQuillan, Watson
and Oeschger may be found in Dean
