down there. On my first trip down
there were only a few courses scat

To the Winter season of 1924 the prog
ress was astounding. There now
are more than 100 courses in the
state. and people still are building
them in punches What is more, the
courses built within the past rev

pare favorably with those to be
found anywhere around the country.

one year ago Manager John J. Ne
GraW said the future of the Giants
rested on the kind Of pitching that
he got. and then the pitching turned
So bad that he became i'll. and 1t was
some time before he was IN proper
physical trim TO resume his duties on
the bench.
This year McCiraw is satisfied with
his pitching. and being satisfied with
the pitching, he also is satisfied with
his team in other ways. 1t has been
a hobby for years With Mac that he
must have pitching. but in that re
spect he is not isolated. There are
others who think they must have
pitching III abundance to be siccesH-
full in the major leagues. The fine
art of culving the ball still asserts
itself as one Of the big things of the
national game.
Giants Brittle Club.
There is a menace lurking around
the team, however. despite the pitch
ing. and that is the possibility that
some OF the players may break down
or be injured. The Giants are a. brit
tie ball club. There is no getting away
from il. They carry their knees well
in the Spring If they do not injure
them while training, and then, as the
days go by. they often are unfortu-
nate enough To have things happen
to their joints. Any little misplaced
pebble or depression in the ground
is likely to throw a Giant knee for Il
loss OF 10 yards, and not even the
good work Of pitchers can overcome
that
If you go back far enough you will
find where this team has been jolted
hard time and again because of the
accidents to ball players. The boss
Of the array has nodded what seemed

thing happened ana the Giants had

stands up. The reserve strength OF
the team is good on the infield be-
cause there are Lindstrom and Far
rell for the left side of the diamond,
but the reserve strength is not as
good as the regulars. Even Lind
strom, with all the excellence Of his
work in the latter part of the 1924
campaign and his fine showing in
the world series that year. has yet TO
come to that degree Of sureness and
fighting grit which lies in the heart

nannant. While the younger mem
hers of the pitching staff are promis-
ing-at least three of them are-they
are not pitchers Of sufficient ablllty
TO carry a club to championship in the
big league or even keep it up in
race.
Club Depends on Pitchers.
This does not mean these youngsters
are weaklings, but they need plenty
of polishing before they may pc dc-
counted steady enough for regular
service. There is no denying that any
success the Nationals have this year
will be attained through their mounds
men. Infield and outfield the cluo
is no better than it has been IN the
past two years. The catching stan
does not seem to be as strong as IL
Was in 1924 and 1925. Washington
has a club that must depend solely
on its pitching 70 carry II through.
The veterans of the slab must pro
duce if Washington is to have another
flag or even a season that may be con-
sidered fairly successful. But from
what these long service men have re-
vealed in the way of pitching III the
last few DAYS, supporters of the Ma
tionals probably need not be alarmed.
If the veterans continue TO improve
as they have improved since last week
these Nationals are going to make
matters more than interesting Tor the
other outfits in Ban Johnson's circuit
after the curtain raises on April IL.
