NEW YORK, March 9.-Some
weeks ago, after baseball had passed
through the clearing house of Com
missioner Lands with a white robe
and a bigger salary for Ty Cobb
and iris Speaker, the oralists. as
they refer to the men who make
bets on the tracks. established the
New York Giants as the favorite to
win the National League pennant.
At that time the Giants had a
great infield. a great outfield, a
pitching staff that didn't worry John
]. McGraw too much and a catching
staff that was spotty but promising
with recruits.
Ty Cobb, who hadn't spoken TO
McGraw in years, since a series of
disorders during an exhibition trip
between the Giants and the Detroit
Tigers, was obliged to visit Sara
sofa, Fla, some days ago. Cobb
went to the park where the Giants
were training. He shook hands with
McGraw and they turned out to be
great friends.
Cobb Lauds Infield
"That infield out there, john"
Cobb said. lis the greatest in the
history of the game. have never
seen fellows who can work faster
than that bunch"
Cobb referred to Bill Terry at first
base, Rogers Hornsby at second,
Travis Jackson at short and Freddy
Lindstrom at third base.
Cobb remarked he had seen the
famous infield of the Boston Red
Sox. the million dollar combination
that Connie Mack had once and the
famous "Tinker-to. Evers-to-Cha
trio and that he figured the Giants
combination the best.
The outfield at that time on pa
per. was Pep" Young in right field,
Eddie Roush in center field and one
of a dozen WORTHLESS in left field. It
looked like an outfield almost as good
as Detroit's-and Detroit never has
been without a great outfield.
But since then Pep" Young has
been lost at least, Roush is holding
out for the many reasons he always
has for holding out and the Giants
haven't a regular working left
fielder.
