NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-CP)-The
New York Giants will open their 1926
drive to depose the world champion
Pittsburgh Pirates with prospects OF
an improved pitching staff, a veteran
infield restored to 1924 strength, an J
reorganized outfield.
Although John McGraw frankly con-
cedes Pittsburgh youth and power in
a machine which outstripped his club
last season, he maintains that the
Giants of 1925 were beaten as much
because of injuries as by the Pirate
offensive. For this reason he has de-
cided to again depend on his veterans.
Of the few deals he has made. the
most notable brought Pitcher Jimmy
Ring here from the Phillies in ex-
change for Wayland Dean and Jack
Bentley.
VETS ON INFIELD.
Heinie Groh, frankie Frisch and
Travis Jackson, who suffered leg in
juries in the last campaign, have re-
covered and McGraw intends to start
them at third base, second and short
stop, respectively. He has decided TO
return versatile George Kelly 10 first
base. after having been compelled 10
use him at second and in the outfield
last year. Unless Groh fails to ex-
hibit old form at the training camp,
the Giants viii hold Fred Lindstrom,
Eddie Farrell, former Pennsylvania
captain, and Bill Terry, hard-hltung
young first-baseman, in reserve.
As the result of the failure of Bill
Southworth and Hack Wilson to meas
ure up to expectations in the outfield
last year, AL Tyson, from Louisville,
will be given a chance as an out.
field regular, with Ross Youngs and
Emil Meusel remaining in the posi-
tons they filled last year.
The Giant chieftain has a high
opinion of his two young pitching
stars, Fred tzsimmons and Kent
Greenfield.
MQUILAN TO RETURN.
Hugh McQuillan, suspended last
season by McGraw for attractions of
the rules, is expected to return to con
dition. Ring and Arthur Nehf, vet
eran soutbpaw, are considered ef-
fective against the Pirates. Jack
Scott, Virgil Barnes and Jack Wis
ner also will be available.
For catchers, indications are that
the club will depend on the veterans.
