News From thelMajors

glove and thrown q tast one over LOT
several major league clubs in the long
gone past, has returned to his old love,
the New York Giants. John McGraw,
in announcing Rube Marquard today as
his pitching choice against the WASH
ington Senator's partly set at ease the
rumors that have flown thick and FAST
in Florida for the last "a hours that he
was angling for both Adolfo Luque,
of the Cincinnati Reds and Marquard.
In the first three innings of the
exhibition contest at Tampa this after
noon, the Rube showed that he had
lost little if any of his cunning. His
cat-like motions in the box caught
both Manager Harris, of the Senators,
and Buddy Myer mapping at first. The
Nationals made run in the three
: frames Marquard was on the hill.
AS for Luque, the talk of trade con-
tinued but official comment was still
lacking. Jack Hendricks, Of the Reds,
said several days ago that the Cuban
might be sold. The Boston Braves are
known to be seeking his services
The reason assigned for McGraw
wanting him is said to be the lack of
form shown by Jack Bently, who is
understood to be slated for sub first
base duty and the pinch hitting role.
While the undertone of deals goes
on, the shifting of the scene from the
west coast of the Peninsula state to
the east is under way. The Giants
have transferred their base from Sara
sofa to St Augustine and the Reds are
marching that way for exhibition
games. They are to be in West Palm
Beach for a series next week.
Only three clubs in Florida were
idle today, the New York Yankees,
Cleveland Indians rat Lakeland and
Brooklyn Robins at Clearwater indulg-
ing in routine practice. The Yanks
attracted most attention to have been
idle though, as Babe Ruth was back
in uniform, following al leg injury
that temporarily incapacitated him. He
trotted around the training field at
st. Petersburg as if his leg was fully
recovered Eddie Moore also will be
on hand tomorrow when the Yanks
meet the Braves, but is not expected to
get in the game. Ruth, Meusel and
Combs We're shagging flies in the OUT
field during the day.
Today's games found the Giants and
Senators at Tampa; the Phillies and
Cards at Bradentown; thel Athletics
and Braves, at ST. Petersburg and the
Reds and Browns at Tarpon Springs.
The Indians in their drill found much
to talk about as to how their re-
vamped lineup managed to break their
jinx yesterday in the victory over the
Baltimore Internationals. sat Summa
was back in right field and George
Gerken in iris Speakers old place at
center. Lew Fonseca is working at

The Boston Red Sox at New Orleans
lheld a light workout in fielding and
) batting during the day. Rookie

batters. Tomorrow the Sox will play
the New Orleans Southern association

as the Detroit Americans prepared for
weekend exhibition games. The re-
cruits accompanied by Harry Heilmanp
